Despite a smaller lineup of Nintendo Wii U and 3DS games compared to the available lineups of the PS4 and Xbox One this holiday season, Nintendo still has a great opportunity to follow up on their recent successes. The slew of Fall 2015 holiday amiibo alone, including a $39.99 Yarn Yoshi that’s essentially a glorified plushie doll with an NFC implement on its foot, will be sought-after items for collectors and casual Nintendo fans alike.
We’ll keep an ear out for a release date of the final two Wii U games Nintendo gave a vague Holiday 2015 release window. Mario Tennis Ultra Smash deserves some attention!
