@Sligeach In fairness announcing the NX 10 months ago as a passing comment with no details seems like a desperate "We're not dead yet!" plea for attention on Nintendo's part.
As such it's also reasonable to say the Wii U wasn't as big as Nintendo or anyone else even wanted it to be. That's why I said it was a partial success. There are those who love it and there are some really great game exclusives for it.
But even 'partial success' is still more success than a total failure.
Which is why I don't mind paying a little extra for NEW not already made content that comes out after release. Such purchases likely will help fund Nintendo so that they can make the NX amazing.
But there's still so little light on the NX that for the time being it makes more sense to focus on what is currently out or actually announced Wii U and 3DS games.
@Sligeach 8 months seem nearly a year old to me, but I guess we could say it was a simply 'over half a year old'.
As far as the Wii U being/having been a flop, I've always enjoyed it and the games that are on it. I'm excited for the games that are supposedly coming this year. It's my most played console at my home more than my ps4, Xbox, or my 3ds.
Many people have even played my Wii U at my house and then gone and bought one afterwards because they enjoyed it. So while it hasn't sold nearly as much as the Wii, I'd say it's still at least a partial success.
And as far as Nintendo losing their spot on the gaming throne? What king sits on a throne of gold without enough gold in his treasury to run his kingdom? If anything I feel that is buying dlc or even amiibo helps Nintendo become more capable of producing something even more incredible.
I'd like to think paid dlc is a fad, but I also believe that modern systems and games cost more to produce which leaves companies less room to profit.
@Sligeach "disgusting locked crap" eh? I admit that I hate paying more money for things that I feel should already be included with my initial purchase. But it seems rude to call NEW content that. Especially for this game that's almost a year old now.

Besides it's optional. So why the hurt feelings?
Re: Weirdness: Watch an Actual Live Splatoon Squid Sisters Concert From Japan
That was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of the live Hatsune Miku concerts they do in Japan.
