Last Thoughts
Nintendo’s 2015 was clearly inconsistent, but its highs more than made up for and upstaged the lows. Many great titles have cemented themselves in the core Wii U experience, supplementing the slow, yet always growing, catalog of games that provide that quintessential fun, plain and simple. A large portion of 2015’s success has been supported by a steady flow of free to inexpensive downloadable content released almost on a weekly basis and more amiibo.
Although two of its biggest titles, a still untitled Legend of Zelda and Star Fox Zero, have been delayed to 2016, that just makes next year more exciting.
In all, 2015 for the Wii U has been another case of quality over quantity. The Nintendo Wii U carries on with its own stride, making it own waves as it goes along, staying out of the big fight and ultimately providing great experiences, even if it isn’t the epicenter of the definitive home entertainment experience. It definitely has heart, though.
It’s very admirable to see the company still pushing through, even in the wake of the tragic passing of Satoru Iwata who served as the President of Nintendo. The company remains a prime example of keeping their composure with poise and fervor, in a way that is sure to make Iwata proud. Here’s to another humble year for the Wii U.
