I have a wii u also but that game pad has been nothing but a pain in the arse that made me less likely to play it.

I've never gotten the hate for it. And 90% of games can be played without it. In fact, I think Nintendoland, Wonderful 101, Rayman, Zombii U and Pikmin are the few really good games that absolutely require it. I play Xenoblade with it but it just makes it easier. I could play without it. Smash, Bayonetta, 3D World, etc., can be played with the Controller.

I also like Splatoon with the pad. My only issue with the pad is the battery life, mine's at like 2 hours of play now. But I've used it a ton.

You say these other games all feel the same but that's how I feel about Mario at this point. Sounds like they did a great job with splatoon but a lot of their ips have been more of the same lately. It's been a while since they made a Zelda I cared about which is sad considering how much I used to love them.

To each his own, and that's ok. You aren't going to like a Nintendo game on an Xbox more than you like a Nintendo game on a Nintendo console. Maybe Mario games just aren't for you?
