The Steam Machine is released to a lukewarm response. The Nintendo 3DS gets a juicy and somewhat word-salad-y upgrade, with some games being exclusively released for it and others having notable performance enhancements. Microsoft releases Windows 10, which is criticized at first due to compatibility issues with older games. Nintendo also announces both their foray into the mobile market after lots of annoying shoulder-taps from investors, and their next console's codename, the Nintendo NX, just to ensure nobody thinks they're leaving the console market for good. LEGO also starts their take on the toys-to-life genre with LEGO Dimensions, which lasted them a few years.
Several titles were also released in the year, such as Splatoon, Nintendo's take on the shooter genre, which quickly became an icon for the company. Super Mario Maker also comes out as a tie-in for the plumber's 30th anniversary, allowing players to create their own Levels. Rocket League is also released, becoming popular and kickstarting the genre of live-service games. Indie game Undertale is also released to critical acclaim and immense popularity.
Satoru Iwata, executive producer at Nintendo and known for saving video games like EarthBound and Pokémon Gold and Silver during development also unfortunately passes away in July. May he rest in peace.
