The Wii U is met with praise and criticism, but no matter what it was innovative and that is what Nintendo does best. From this console we had some amazing hits, with games from franchises we have not seen in years to even a new IP that carried over to the Nintendo Switch.

What is your favorite Top Ten that we've done so far?
I'm sad to not see Tropical Freeze on here :(
If you want me to be brutally honest, I haven't kept up with your Top 10 series as much as I have your Completionist reviews/videos. That said, however, I have been a long time fan for years and can say that the Final Fantasy one peaked my interest the most. Hope this bit of feedback helps! :)
I like all of them. I find it funny how you have to put an obligatory "this is my list. Don't get butthut if it doesn't match yours. People are allowed to have opinions you know." lol Sad that people get angry because it's not what they want. Its almost like you're not allowed to have an opinion lmao
I thought Wonderful 101 might make the list, but I guess not.
Tbh, I am a little surprised to not see Rayman Legends. Though, knowing Jirard, completability would probably be an important factor, and in the case of Rayman Legends, it does lack a bit in that regard. But it's still a fun game.
FINALLY someone who doesn't treat the Wii U like it's garbage
The console itself wasn't bad, it's just Nintendo fucked literally everything else up
Welcome to the Completionist, where the only time you can piss off Jirard is with multiplayer achievements. xD
I love the wii u
C Tuley I’m getting one soon, but that handheld controller thing looks huge
@@Thevamp1reking I thought the same thing before I got one (this year) actually more comfortable to hold than u think it will be
The Wii U seriously deserves more love. I hate how everyone’s talking so negatively on it like it never did anything right.
Like, the games alone sold it for me.
Mario Kart 8 is easily one of my favorite games, period.
Same
The Wii u should get more love!
I can love wiiU when no region lock... Fuck nintendo for moust idiotic sell menagment ever... If region lock over i buy wiiU instant as my wii and 2dsXL im not fun boy but i wont have choice of games from all planet not my shity region...
I love the wii u
It had shit controls
I also had a blast with Star Fox Zero also. But I think in order to please as many people as possible, maybe a classic control scheme mode would help a lot.
By the time you get the controls nailed, the game is over. And only big fans are gonna go back and master the game enough to warrant learning the controls.
man you really are the lonely goomba i’m your first like :(
I’m normally terrible at picking favorites, but without any doubts, the Wii U is my favorite console of all time. I’ve discovered dozens of games on this system, old and new alike. Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Darksiders 2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Axiom Verge, Shovel Knight, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Guacamelee, Arkham City, Freedom Planet, Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild, and countless others have occupied my time well. Excellent list as always, Jirard!
No Tropical Freeze love?
Richard Ford honestly surprised considering Jirard's love of DKC
That game is a masterpiece. I don't understand how Jirard can like that game LESS than both Color Splash AND Starfox Zero. Like... it didn't even get an honorable mention.
ShyGuyXXL Same.
Everyone is forgetting the biggest admission: Breath of the Wild.
+ร Raw Rua
Well, most people have probably played that on the Switch.
The fact that tropical freeze didn't make this list is an absolute crime
Joel Mais and Star Ass and Paper Ass did 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Joel Mais Yet somehow Color Splash and Wooly World made it and its wierd cause Jirard likes DKC.
That is actually surprising considering this is Jirard. Actually I have to wonder how Paper Mario got on here when it's the worst entry in the Paper Mario series lol.
MrServantRider Nah Sticker Star takes the cake, there was a lot more flaws with that game. The fact that battling was useless outside bosses and writing didnt even try to be as creative as color splash makes it the worst title objectively speaking.
Yet Star Fox Zero and Color Splash are on here.....
It just... weird seeing a character like Bayonetta become a Nintendo icon. She’s easily the raunchiest character on the console since Conker
Ben Wasserman I mean, there was Travis from No More Heroes.
Rip Conker
Hey Arnold! But those games are that well known
I think Conker is infinitely raunchier than Bayonetta, personally.
*presses X to pay respects*
My personal Top Ten list(Wii U)...
10: Pikmin 3
9: Bayonetta
8: Smash Bros
7: Color Splash
6: WindWaker HD
5: Shovel Knight
4: Mario Maker
3: Darksiders 2
2: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
1: Xenoblade Chronicles X
So happy someone else has XBX at the top of their list! great pick ha ha. the rest of your list is legit too
No breath of the wild...
I have that on the Switch, it's on my Top Ten for Switch for sure.
No breath of the wild?
LittlexBoyx patrician taste. Xbx by far best
I love Nintendo Land. Whenever we have a party at my house and we’re not playing Nintendo Land, one of my friends will say “hey wanna play Nintendo Land?” And we’ll all go play Nintendo Land.
the thinginator guy 90 probably because Nintendoland was the only good party game that the system got... it really needed more good party games
@@fireassassin123 Mario party 10 was good, and you also had backward compatibility so Mario party 9 and 8? Unless we only count wii-u games?
@@AbdulKareem-gb1ed 10 was decent at best. 9 and 8 don't really count because they were Wii game, not Wii U games (even then 9 wasn't all that great). Though I suppose that Wii Party U was another good party game was on the system. I remember playing Mario Party 10 with a bunch of friends at a graduation party, and we had a fun time bitching about how bad and unfair the game was (seriously, Bowser mode was bullshit if you weren't Bowser). It had some decent minigames, so it at least had that, but as an overall experience, it was decent at best.
And as for my thoughts on Mario Party 8... I enjoyed it, but at the same time I know that objectively it's not that good. It has some... interesting boards (half of them are just a straight line or a circle, but the other half were great). The thing that really drags 8 down is the lackluster minigames. Half of them were just basic motion control games.
Nintendo . . . Band? Na jk lol get it wrong after you said it4 times
just wanted to say Nintendo land.
The lack of Wonderful 101 cuts me deep
Screwy everyone forgets about that game
Its being kickstarted got switch
Thank you so much for showing the Wii U some love. It's such an underrated console the deserves to be recognized more. Thumbs up to you Jirard
It's not underrated. It had barely any games worth a shit and the separate game pad was virtually pointless. It was garbage, and now that the Switch is getting ports of the few games that were actually worth owning on the Wii U, it's becoming utterly obsolete.
@UCb6xhda9wBgRWHnHGhO2snw No need to be a dick. I personally really like the Wii U, used it for countless hours and even if you don't have the same enjoyment as I do you don't have to be a dick.
Remember that Breath of the Wild is a WiiU game ported to the Switch.
In fact, core mechanics of the U version had to be removed because of that.
The WiiU version was crippled because of the Switch, yet people pontificate as if the Switch version is inherently superior. It's typical of the mindlessness that's prevalent amongst the modern-day gaming culture.
Stephen O'Brien i wish i could give you more than just One measly thumbs Up...
Stephen O’Brien I understand like three of those words
If Pikmin 3 isn't number 1 i'm gonna burn my house down
Edit: I need a new house..
We need Pikmin 4.
Fuck yeah we do! i haven't bought a Switch yet but as soon as Pikmin 4 comes out i'm buying one instantly.
I don't think Jirard likes Pikmin very much. Which is probably why it's not on this list.
RandomNPC "not liking Pikmin" .... this should be considered a crime.
Honestly I didn't get Pikmin at all when I got it on the Gamecube. I should probably revisit the series past the first game though
3DW, Tropical Freeze, NSMBU, Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, and Captain Toad are some of my favorites
The Wii U was unfortunately a poorly marketed console. However, Nintendo seems to have learned from this and many who may have missed out on some great games from the console are getting a chance to try them out on the Switch by means of porting.
I hope all of the good Wii U Games get ports to Switch. As a fan of the portable version, maybe I can finally get around to finishing some of these games lol.
D R Absolutely. I've never played it and am looking forward to possibly reviewing it. :)
That Bald Gamer It's up there with Rayman Legends and Shovel Knight as the great modern 2D platformer.
I thought it was like an addon or expansion for the wii not a standalone console until like 6 months ago it was defo badly advertised now im thinkingnof getting a wii to mod and play lightgun games on cos lightguns are tooooo expensive right now but then i found out the wii u is its own thing so i dont know whether to get an original wii or wii u now im stumped can the wii u play all the wii games still with wiimotes or just wii u games
I feel like PIKMIN 3 should've at least been acknowledged, but otherwise this is a really solid list
Hey! Let's Do A Thing! We're also overshadowing donkey Kong tropical freeze
and how does anyone leave out breath of the wild!!?
Hello How to Basic.
I don't get this reference. Can someone explain?
If it's not wemes I'm lost
Josh Heissler how to basic face reveal vid
im howtobasic
U mean I'm how to Basic
The Wii U, while it had its flaws, was a fantastic console imo. Sure, it had its blunders (Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Paper Mario Colour Splash and Star Fox Zero being the biggest mishaps imo), but it had some quality gems during its lifetime. Nintendo Land is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played (mainly thanks to Mario Chase), Splatoon is one of the best online multiplayer shooters out there, Super Mario 3D World, while it's not Odyssey, was fun in its own right and it has a fantastic soundtrack. Mario Kart 8 is my favorite Mario Kart of all time, and Smash Bros Wii U was fun to play, and probably the closest Nintendo has gotten to matching Melee in terms of quality. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a fantastic puzzle game, and smaller franchises like Pikmin and Bayonetta got a chance to shine of the system. Then there's Super Mario Maker... overall, a fantastic system with some great games, some of which I haven't mentioned in detail, like Woolly World and Tropical Freeze. Hopefully the Switch can continue to live up to the quality of the Wii U, which it has been doing a fantastic job thus far.
My Wii U top ten so far:
#1: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
#2: Pikmin 3
#3: Axiom Verge
#4: Super Mario Maker
#5: SteamWorld Dig
#6: Stealth Inc 2
#7: Guacamelee
#8: Super Mario 3D World
#9: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
#10: Turtle Tale
I'm not big on PvP, so I didn't bother getting Smash, Kart, or Splatoon...
Any list without Rayman Legends WiiU needs to be disregarded. It is a perfect game.
Jirard: Lemme know what your top Wii U games are.
Me: Um...I like...Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Pushmo World
Jirard (probably): Hey yeah...that's uh...that's super.
Strain42 I would’ve much rather had an actual FE game than what TMS was. Never played Pushmo, but I heard that it’s good.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions was great
TMS is more shinigami Tensei with FE references than anything. Which i found fine.
Red Pandai There was a lot in the game that I heavily disliked. From the story, to the characters, to the gameplay having almost nothing to do with FE, it really wasn’t worth the purchase or the playtime.
Well it was never meant to be an FE game. It was a SMT game, with a minor FE flair. Granted, the marketing never really made it clear which influence was heavier.
One of my personal highlights on the WiiU was honestly Tokyo Mirage Sessions.
It's not what people expected and it takes some time to get into the setting but it was just plain fun.
My Top 10 WiiU games in no particular order:
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Super Mario 3D World
Zelda: Windwaker HD
Smash 4
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario Maker
Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Splatoon
Yoshi's Wooly World
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
No Breath of the Wild?
And yes I do consider it to be a Wii U game that was ported to Switch.
Because that's exactly what it is.
Calvinus Cosgrovius While I definitely understand your opinion and agree that it deserves a spot in the top 10 games on the Wii U, I just don't think of it as one since I played it on switch instead of the Wii U.
I'd probably take off woolly world or twilight princess to fit breath of the wild, but I'm not sure which right now.
Fair enough.
Joseph Hawkins man... only two of those have been ported over to the switch. And only another 2 have sequels on said console...
Luckily we're getting Tropical Freeze and Smash for Switch, and hopefully we'll get Monster Hunter Double Cross Switch to release internationally.
I'm glad Woolly World was on this list. It really brought out my inner child when I played it, and I've been thinking a lot about playing it again recently. I echo the other people saying that Tropical Freeze should have been somewhere on this list, though. It was a great game.
No wonderful 101
IM OUTTA HERE !
Wonderful 101 was the reason i bought me wiiu jajajaja
I almost agree with you on the Vista U, Switch 10 comparison.
Windows Vista added so many features we take for granted today, like pasting images directly in our browser, hitting Windows key and being able to search our computer instead of manually finding programs through a list, the _Snipping Tool,_ it was a huge boost from XP in features. It just ran like shit.
But Windows 7 was the culmination of an optimized and improved Vista. Windows 10 was the same thing, but for Windows 8.
I forgot Windows 8 was a thing XD
That's a goal we all strive for.
Windows 8.1 was already improved version of Windows 8. Windows 10 perfected WIndows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 is part of Windows 8's support lifecycle. It _is_ Windows 8. A giant update to it. In fact, Windows 8 was immediately unsupported and all 8 users had to update to 8.1 to continue getting updates.
Windows 8.1 was very much like a Service Pack for 8 the way SP2 and SP3 were for XP, the only difference being it wasn't available through Windows Update and had to be installed from the Windows Store
+Oro Windows 8 was not immediately unsupported when 8.1 was released. 8.1 was released October 18, 2013. Windows 8 EOL was January 1, 2016. So you still had over 2 years left of support.
I haven't played my Wii U much recently these days, but I definitely played the hell out of it when I first got it. Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Mario Maker, all those games definitely brought some light into my life during a rather difficult time, and I'm definitely always going to be fond of all these wonderful games.
The Wii U truly died for me when they got rid of Miiverse.
i wonder if they'll implement something similar on the switch. i wanna be able to follow "communities' for certain games and post screenshots to them instead of twitter. i also enjoyed giving my screenshots weird or funny captions or describing how i feel about certain parts of a game.
They got rid of it WAY to early, Switch had been out for barely 7-ish months and it was gone meanwhile Wii Shop Channel only got discontinued (pretty much) yesterday. Only reason Wii U still has online is because the 3DS runs off of the same online service
Umm... does breath of the wild not count as a Wii U game anymore? Everyone acts like it only came out on switch, but the Wii U version deserves love too
I defy anyone who said the WiiU was a failed console. It was the first proper shared console my fiance and I bouhht together and came out at a time when we needed it most.
Plus it just had a great line up that has only been overshadowed by Switch ports of... the same lineup. Which there is no reason to rebuy IMO.
I still love my Wii U. Between Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Splatoon, I'm pretty sure that the only console that I've spent more time on was handhelds, thanks in part to Monster Hunter moving to 3DS only afterwards. I got to experience Wind waker for the first time because of it, and while Smash and Super mario maker didn't hold my interest as long as the hundreds of hours sucked up by the main two, I'm happy I got to experience them. I'm glad so many of the games on the system are getting ports and sequels so other people can experience them too, but I'll be keeping my Wii U forever even if it's only for nostalgia.
Donkey Kong tropical freeze? No? Oh... ok, it drove me bananas that it wasn't on the list.
I agree with you mostly this time. Donkey Kong is in my top 10, maybe even first.
4:01 Did that Toad say that his wife left him? Does...does he need a hug?
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LIKES COLOUR SPLASH
Pikmin 3 DkC tropical freeze Lego city undercover and of course breath of the wild.
A+ list Jirard. You and Super Mario Maker (and the community) convinces me over 2 years ago to buy a WiiU when I was in a rough patch in college. It was amazing to let a creative side of me come out in the light after being hidden for so many years. Thank you. Sincerely thank you.
Favorite Wii U games: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Yoshi's Wolly World, and Super Mario 3D World

Smash was my fav on Wii U! Also pokken tournament. Nice video!
Underrated tbh. It had so many great games

I played a lot of Wii U
LEGO City Undercover is my favourite Wii U game. A family-friendly GTA packed to the brim with nostalgic references? Sounds perfect to me!
11:20 smh missed opportunity, should have said “is the double cherry on top”
Haha nice!
Favorite Wii U game? Assuming _Breath of the Wild_ doesn't count (being a multi-platform title), it would have to be _Super Mario Maker._
It really is a shame it essentially ended after the death of Miiverse, because it was a REALLY fun experience. So of course I'm hoping for a Switch port or sequel sometime in the future.
The Switch is what the Wii U SHOULD have been.
So glad somebody is giving the Wii U some love. Definitely one of the most under appreciated consoles.
I’m still playing my Wii U (holding out for a switch) while the Xbone and PS4 collect dust. Only few will know of its greatness but for what it accomplished it did great~
The XBox One can suck a fat one with only two games that would get an interest from me (Rare Replay and Cuphead) and the PS4…any games I would like on it have ports on the PC and upcoming on the Switch.
PS4 is vastly superior, I know not everyone cares about these but it has way better graphics and an achievement system, plus a lot more great games, including 3rd party support which Nintendo was horrible at with the Wii U
o7
Well every console has its audience as long as it’s about the games love what you like, I can’t deny the PS4 controller is great (you guys got the Secret of Mana Remaster too!) and the Xbone has the sexiest D-pad
Honestly the Switch lives up to all the praise it gets. Since a new Smash was announced, I'd recommend just getting it. There's already a great library and it's only a year old
I would love to play Rare Replay as well, but yeah I don't see myself getting an Xbox One just for this one compilation. Oh and you're in luck because Cuphead is on Steam, as well. I highly recommend it!!!
I guess I'll give my own list:
10. Zombi U
9. Mario Party 10 (yea I liked it)
8. New Super Mario Bros U/Luigi U
7. Bayonetta 2
6. Super Mario 3D World
5. Splatoon
4. Super Mario Maker
3. Mario Kart 8
2. Super Smash Bros
1. Breath of the Wild
Where does jirard stand on DKCTF? Would be fun to know ^^
I just love the Zelda HD remakes, having not owned the GC or Wii just makes these fantastic. Also, really love Xenoblade chronicles X!
1: Yoshi Woolly World
2: Mariokart 8
3: Super Mario 3D World
4: New Super Mario Bros. U
5: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
6: Captain Toad
7: Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
8: Pikmin 3
9: Super Mario Maker
10: Hyrule Warriors
11: Splatoon
12: Nintendo Land
13: Kirby’s Rainbow Ride
14: Xenoblade Chronicles X
15: Wii Fit U
16: Lego City Undercover
2023 I Still Love My Wii U ❤
I can't lie, when the fiery cutting of the super smash brothers logo sliced out of the darkness I got those shivery chills of excitement, nostalgia, and pure happiness.
I'm right there with you on Star Fox Zero, man. I think the controls feel pretty natural, and once you're used to them you don't really need to look away from the main screen.
Oh no! You missed a game that I like. I better post it here to validate myself.
It’s so funny watching this in 2023 and seeing all the amazing sequels or re-releases on switch. Man, switch is such a good console.
Now with the announcement of super mario maker 2 the Wii U has now officially become worthless
Wii U was seriously underrated. It's kind of a shame it bombed. Not enough people gave it a chance.
1:44 9 years?
6:55 Considering it has all the Wii U and 3DS DLC yeah have fun with that XD
8:57 I completely agree with that.
12:58 It's a shame we didn't get Lloyd. Because I would have reacted the same way you did about Cloud.
Omg where was Tropical Freeze?
Jirard saying he's looking forward to recompleting Hyrule Warriors on Switch.
Ha...
- The wonderful 101
- Super Smash Bros 4
- Mario Kart 8
- Splatoon
- Mighty No. 9
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- New Super Mario Bros U
- Hyrule Warriors
- Yoshi's Wooley World
- Mario Party 10
- Sonic Lost World
Star fox zero would be a great port to the switch but just touch up the conrtolls
Interesting that a game that is essentially impossible to complete is number 1 on your list!
I think Nintendo Land, DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, and New Super Mario Bros. U should've also been on this list. Those are great games as well.
Where's my boy DK??????
I mostly agree with this list, except I would say that Breath of the Wild and Tropical Freeze deserve to be on there WAY more than Hyrule Warriors or Mario Maker. I would also say I like Kirby's Rainbow Curse more than Color Splash and Star Fox Zero, but I agree those 2 games are way better than the angry fanbase gives them credit for.
Best list, the bestest list of all. Really love your #2, it's a game I still play to this day!
Any plans for a top 10 list for the 3DS? Would love some new ideas on what to buy!
While the switch is objectively better, I still have better memories from the wiiu
the Wii U put in more time the switch is still relatively new.
Alex Bickmore the switch is a year old, the Wii U is almost 6...
I still have better memories also, even if just comparing the first year. I don't think the switch is better either, due to not being able to use it as a second screen like the Wii U Gamepad. Could not play Starfox or Pikmin 3 properly on the Switch! I loved the Wii U for that.
are you referring to starfox zero? the gamepad functionality on that with the motion controls is why i can't play that game quite honestly most game i've played on the wii U i'll forget that there is even anything displayed on the game pad having to distract your attention just seems like bad game design.
Some people didn't like it, but I did. I like games that tax my multitasking, and having to switch between 2 different screens made the game very enjoyable for me. Hard at first, but enjoyable to master.
I'm so glad I took your advice on Star Fox Zero. Just got it today and, while the controls took a few minutes to get used to and will take long to master, I already like it more than Star Fox 64. Good call Jirard!
You know a game is impactful when you get chills from the logo. Can't wait for SMASH on SWITCH
I freaking love the Wii U. I so happy I was an earlier adopter. I was sad it didn’t make same splash for others as it did for me but it gave us the Switch. I hopefully someday will get one!!!
Wii U deserved more support and more push. I got mine fresh out the box at the end of it's life line. I was lucky enough to gather most of the essentials. I still rock with my Wii U,I feel the same excitement as when I first opened the box when I cut it on. I still collect for it and I wish the library was more extensive. I keep the Wii U games on my Wii U and my exclusive Switch games on the Switch. I try not to double dip. It keeps my Wii U relevant. Nintendo might consider it a mistake that they want you to forget,but for me it's a valuable brick in gaming history.
Well, until Mario Maker gets a REALLY enhanced port to the Switch, I think I'll just stick to Super Mario Bros. X.
Minus Bros. Oh yeah Super Mario X is way better than Mario Maker
The Wii U, in hindsight, has *a lot* in common with the Sega Saturn. Both systems were considered to be notoriously difficult to program by pretty much everyone but their core first party studios, they both had severe miscommunication surrounding their launch (the whole "Saturnday" fiasco for the Saturn and bad advertising in general for the Wii U), they both had little to no support from "AAA" third-party developers after their first year because of how slowly they sold compared to their competitors, and they both had extremely short lifespans ended abruptly by the mere announcement of their successors.
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kon
Donkey Ko
Donkey K
Donkey
Donkey
Wait who the heck cares why isn’t donkey Kong on this list? I’m ashamed!
Tommy Ruggeri opinions
My top 10 (Warning: Big Mario fan):
1. Mario 3D World
2. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
3. Super Mario Maker
4. Nintendo Land
5. Mario Kart 8
6. New Super Mario Bros U
7. Super Smash Bros U
8. Yoshi's Woolly World
9. Mario & Sonic: Olympic Games Sochi 2014
10. Splatoon
There are THREE Zelda games on WiiU, and none of them were on this list!?!
Zelda: Breath of the Wild = best game for Wii U. I know, I know, it wasn't an exclusive and most people associate it with the Switch...but technically it's also a Wii U game so therefore I think it deserves to be at least in the top 10.
Mr. Completionist, Today I present you with a challenge, when you completed splatoon on the show I was impressed , you were able to get to the top of the rankings system, get every weapon, and 100% the single player campaign, however there is still more to be achieved, the sequel is out now and to complete it would be your ultimate acheivement, a true test of your abilities. 4 ranked game modes to get to the top of, dozens of weapons to buy, a co-op mode to level up in, and by the end of this summer; 2 separate single player campaigns to complete 100%, but I even challenge you to obtain each and every one of the hundreds of clothing items in the game and level them all up one by one. Surely this is a challenge worthy of your title. Better get started, you don't want a sequel to come out before you're done.
~sincerely
a fan.
Pikmin 3: I'm going to be on that list, I can feel it!
The Completionist: I'm about to end this mans whole career!
There’s 10 games to rank?
I very much agree with Wooly World, my first game was Yoshi's Island on the SNES and seeing a new Yoshi's Island game with beautiful visuals made me pick it up immediately
Bayonetta 2 at #7 and Yoshi's Wooly World at #4
It always gives me that warm tingly feeling inside to see such a cutesy, kid friendly game beat out something more bloody and violent. Not saying that Bayonetta 2 is a bad game infact I haven't played it yet but it is such a nice thing to see someone put a more lighthearted game above it, just reinforcing the fact that a game doesn't need to be an M-rated philosophical artwork to be considered worthy of praise.
1. Super Mario Maker
2. Super Smash Bros For Wii U
3. Mario Kart 8
4. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
5. Super Mario 3D World
6. Star Fox Zero
7. New Super Mario Bros U
8. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
9. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
10. Pikmin 3
I can't imagine this list was too hard to make since there was only 11 games made for the Wii U
You’re the only one I’ve ever heard talk positive about Star Fox Zero. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug, eh???
Kinda hard to smack these choices considering how few choices you had on Wii U games to begin with. Good list, didn't expect a full 10 titles.
I'm happy I got to grow up into my teens with the wii u, such great memories
Yes! Finally someone who puts paper mario color splash in there top 10 😀
I have yet to find a list where Wonderful 101 makes it. Such an underrated gem.
It makes me so upset that Affordable Space Adventures always gets the shaft when there's a WiiU discussion. That game was some of the most Co-op fun I've ever had, and it uses the gamepad's capabilities so well.
I feel like the wonderful 101 did not enough attention. It's busting with charm, fun, and a fun battle system and nobody talks about it.
DKC Tropical Freeze. That's the one missing for me.
I find the Wii U games called The Wonderful 101 & Xenoblade Chronicles X to be one of those hidden gem games to the WiiU
I thoroughly enjoy my WIIU. Only Retro Game collecters own a WIIU today
You are the only person I know who played 10 games on the Wii U
I loved my time with the Wii U, but now it's time for Pikmin4, Bayonetta 3, Smash 5, and Fire Emblem 13 I think it is.
The WiiU is a great, underrated system. Sure it didn't get a whole lot of "AAA" titles, but that's fine in my book.
Jirard, here's a game recommendation for you, if you ever get the chance (not necessarily for the show), you should get your hands on Affordable Space Adventures. It's a solid little indy environmental puzzler that makes excellent use of the touch screen, and you can only get it through the WiiU eShop.
The fact that there are completely different yet equally valid top tens for the Wii-U in the comments, that are just as valid, despite its very small library, is kinda amazing.
I definitely agree on 3D World.
My top eleven:
8/9/10/11 Mario Maker, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Shovel Knight, Pikmin 3, Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush
3/4/5/6/7 Splatoon, Bayonetta 1 & 2, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Smash Bros (- Breath of The Wild would go here if I'd not gotten it on Switch, which I got day one in case of shortages at the time of Splatoon 2's launch)
1/2 Wind Waker & 3D World (they already are drawing with Super Mario World for my top three games of all time)
My top three Wii-U games?
Legend of Mario: 3D Waker, Splatonetta Smash Sessions, and Rainbow Maker: Pikmin Knight X
Enjoy your vacation. I had a Wii U for Super Mario Maker and Splatoon.
