Amazing that people are trying to act like Nintendo didn't fuck up here.
Once again, they refuse to acknowledge third party and rely soley on Mario and Pokemon.
Once again they prove they are not the innovators like some (most?) nintendo fanboys like to say.
One again they shoot themselves in the foot for some stupid reason.
Say what you want about Activision or the quality of Skylanders, but it's a pretty huge game. There's even adults playing it. Now imagine if the only place to play that was on the Wii/Wii U. It would have sold more systems, which is something Nintendo desperately needs with the Wii U.
but hey its fine. They'll make a Pokemon one! they only have to compete with Skylanders and Disney Infinity, and Disney is including Marvel characters now. We all know how successful you can be when you're late to the party against two huge names, especially one of those names has Disney characters and Marvel Characters, two of the biggest properties right now.
but wait they won't do that, because then it'll make their handhelds pointless since you can play a superior version of Pokemon on a console. There's a reason in 15+ years they haven't made a real Pokemon game on consoles
