Super Mario Maker
Say what you will about Nintendo and its perceived issues, but there is no other studio/company out there that has produced such high quality content on a regular basis. 2015 had been a stellar year for Nintendo, even if Star Fox –one of their most anticipated titles– was pushed back into 2016. Super Mario Maker showed that even the game that revived an entire industry back in the 80s, can still be just as fun in 2015. There is a beautiful simplicity in being able to create your own Mario levels and share them with people all around the world. You can still jump onto YouTube and see people uploading levels today, long after the game came out. Not only is Super Mario Maker a fantastic game, but it showed just how special the Wii U Gamepad could be, and how no other console on the market could emulate something like this. In my review of Super Mario Maker I noted that this was the sort of game whose popularity will long outlast the console itself. I can easily see people going out to buy a Wii U a console generation or two from now, just to be able to play Super Mario Maker again.
