Nintendo has had a rough few years. After the huge success of the Wii, the Wii U failed to hit anywhere near the levels of sales of excitement, losing market share to the PS4 and Xbox One.

Third-party developers have not healed the wound either, apart from Ubisoft's Zombi U release, hardly any major developer has ported their titles to Wii U, with major releases like "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare," "Destiny," "Watch_Dogs," "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor" and more not coming to Nintendo's new console.

Nintendo has brought back classics to keep interest in the console, recently launching Mario Kart 8, the best selling game for the Wii U. The Japanese company is hoping "Super Smash Bros" will provide the same results, when it launches on November 28 for the Wii U.

"Super Smash Bros" has been bought by over 2.8 million 3DS owners in under one month. A large amount of the audience has been in Japan, where Nintendo continues to have the most success with its video games.

If Nintendo manages the same sales on the Wii U, it could lead to a resurgence in the platform. Nintendo sold 2 million Wii U units in 2014, while Sony sold 8.1 million PS4 units, according toVGChartz, who also say Microsoft has sold 3.3 million Xbox One units.

Nintendo will be pushing the amiibo toys for "Super Smash Bros," creating revenue from interactive toys. Even though the excitement for Super Smash Bros is still high, game analysts do not believe sales will surpass 3DS sales or revive the Wii U console.

There have been plenty of reports documenting the failure of the Wii U. Some say Nintendo's naming conventions hurt the console sales, others claim the hardware lacked against Sony and Microsoft - with the gamepad making developers think twice about porting their games to the Wii U.

Whatever the case, Nintendo has dug themselves into this financial hole, and they intend to dig themselves out with "Super Smash Bros" and other new first-party titles, like "The Legend of Zelda."
