I wanted to apologize for my previous statements- I have been saying things that not even I believe are true in order to choke this discussion and mold it to my liking, so I'll clarify here.
I believe that Splatoon will be a well-made game that features a number of flaws that, though it is a new idea that Nintendo is promoting and I am thankful for that train of thought, ultimately hold it back from greatness and will not give its multiplayer a healthy life. I think it has potential and I think it cpuld be something great when it has a sequel that improves its flaws.
I also believe the Playstation 4 has a library of games but it's exclusives are unimpressive and it's total library lacks quality in a number of ways, but rather than picking apart the library listed before I'll just say ports do not make a system good. The Wind Waker HD is a nice update with some neat features and visuals that are a bit bizarre but it is not the definitive version of the game and it is not a reason for someone with brand loyalty to buy the new console, much like th many ports of PS3 and last-generation titles are no reason to brag about the library of the PS4.
What I do believe very strongly is that Nintendo has made a serious flaw in marketing "sequels" on the Wii U. NSMBU, SM3DW, MK8, Tropical Freeze, Smash 4, and potentially even Xenoblade Chronicles have titles that feature roughly the exact same gameplay and aesthetics from their 3DS counterpart and just because they sold well on the Wii or 3DS doesn't mean they are franchises that need to be continuously trotted out. It feels lazy despite the effort put into the game, it doesn't entice people to buy the system, and it's unoriginal even if it's an improvement over its predecessor. They need more Splatoons, Devil's Thirds, #FEs, and hell, even Zombi Us because those are the games that feel new and fresh and original despite their quality. If you're going to make a sequel to a game, one or two powerups or water physics do not make a substantial enough purpose to create that sequel. There are better ways to sequelize a title.
Nintendo needs to stop thinking within the paradigms of what has been successful for them in the past because it's clear that train of thought is not working. Hopefully their recent work with DeNA and Splatoon is a sign of this but they really have yet to prove this and that's disappointing, but expected durin the downswing of two of their consoles.
