I just picked up a Wii U last week and out of the games I picked up, that one, which I only got because it was cheap and thought would never be ported, ended up being way more entertaining than I thought it would be. The only disappointment was I didn't have anyone around to play the co-op games.
I think The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker will come to the Nintendo Switch for The Legend of Zelda 35th Anniversary as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker + Ganondorf's Fury.
@@ninmarbob Sounds like a dumb idea to name it with that with Wind Waker HD, but this is Nintendo we're talking about, and they do dumb ideas no one wanted yet for the most part, they sell millions. Paper Mario Origami King for example gets heavily hated by the fans from back in the first two Paper Mario games, yet it sold so many copies of it. Because of that, I think Nintendo might rerelease Starfox Guard, which nobody wanted as everyone hates Slippy. A good example of his uselessness is in Starfox 64, where not even 5 minutes into the first level, he's stuck under enemy fire and you need to rescue him due to his terrible combat piloting. All he was good for in Starfox 64 was showing you the boss enemy's healthbar, which you don't need to see to be able to win. But yeah, I hope Wind Waker gets rereleased on Switch in some form, as I never owned the game (either version in fact), and only borrowed it from my best friend at the time for a very brief time. I got stuck at Forsaken Fortress, which me as a kid did not understand how to clear it when I have no sword.
@@chamtheman551 Nintendo could revive the wii u if they really wanted to. With the functionality of the Wii U gamepad, they could make it into a streaming platform.
I'd LOVE to have Xenoblade X on the Switch, though ideally I'd have them at least tweak a few things in the porting process beyond the necessity of altering GamePad specific stuff to function more conventionally (namely, bigger font size options, better visual clarity in handheld mode and reduced pop-in).
@Christian Longo I'd wait a bit. Some of the online functionality isn't what it was on launch. And many of the systems need improvement. But if it never gets re-released then definitely play it on WiiU.
I feel the same! I was stunned by the game when it came out. I hope they up the graphics a bit instead of a straight up port but I know that’s unlikely. Plus it will be hard playing from the beginning again without a skell Haha
Finally played Nintendoland for the first time around Thanksgiving, it was so much fun. Mario Chase, with the camera showing the person's face on the TV, lol. One of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had.
Yeah, I played the demo on the Wii U and was planning to buy it there until I saw the switch port announcement. Judging by the demo, I think is not a masterpiece, but still an interesting experience to play.

The only wrench in that idea is the new IP(which could still become a Xenoblade game like X did).
The Wii U is a great and nostalgic console. They didn't advertise it well and you could've kept a wii for a while but damn it was fun. My favorite console to this date.
For what little it matters you can count me in. Also Guard is a good game that does use the Gamepad in a meaningful way. It's a great proof of concept that tower defense games would have worked perfectly on the Wii U.
Quite honestly I would have loved to play Star fox zero. The controls seem like a hassle but there is nothing wrong with them. The game seems fun so I would be in.
It's a game that had potential, a bit derivative yes, but the core mechanics worked. But it always circles back to the control scheme. Once you got used to it they were.... adequate, and I'm not opposed to games with motion controls like Skyward Sword or Kid Icarus Uprising. But it got to points in Star Fox Zero where i became so frustrated with the controls that I turned my console off mid battle during the boss fight on Fachina, and against Andross.
I recently played it myself and there is a fun game to play. But there are times the game hurts to play. Like why the fuck is the barrel roll mapped to the joystick
Xenoblade X NEEDS to be on Switch. I love that game soooooooo much. Pretty much the only game I played on Wii U. If it came to Switch, I will buy it the millisecond it is available. And hopefully it gets a sequel cause the ending left such a huge cliff hanger
My favorite game on Wii U was Affordable Space Adventures, it utilized the game pad so well and multiplayer story was so much fun. I don’t think it could ever get ported to switch, especially since it was a third-party title, but it will always be one of my top games
I played the entirety of Star Fox Zero in Co-op and it was one of the best experiences on the Wii U. Having one player as a gunner and one as a pilot was an absolute blast and I can't recommend it enough if someone is looking for a fun multi-player game.
Yoshi’s Woolly World is one of the reasons I’m thinking of getting another Wii-U. I loved that game. It was just fun and simple. When I didn’t want to think a lot and just enjoy playing a game, it was the one I’d go to. Just relaxing to me. Right now all I got is a regular Wii. Also I want to play Breath of the Wild.
Although the Wii U was a failure I am very happy to have one, it was one of the consoles that made me most happy and it was the console that had some of Nintendo's best exclusives, besides I had the chance to play Breath of the Wild on launch day, I was able to play many games like Super Mario 3D World and Bayonetta 2 years before Nintendo if you want to think about bringing them to the Switch, I don't think I need to mention the promotions from that time too, even today I remember at the launch of Mario Kart 8 when I got Pikmin 3 totally free and there were Nintendo Selects with games like Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for $20, nowadays it is unthinkable to see any Nintendo exclusive for less than $60, as times have changed... thankfully I was able to enjoy it.
@@MoonSarito The Wii U wasn't a failure in my book! It was the only console that I played during its lifetime, so I got the full experience! I really had a fun time with it, and I still play it every now and then.
@@hinoname3954 I do have a Wii U and all the games I mentioned. I just want them on the switch for portability and because they're great games that deserve some love, which unfortunately due to the Wii U doing poorly, they never really got. I do love the Wii U still though
List: 0:47 Xenoblade Chronicles X (2015) 2:10 Star Fox Zero and Star Fox Guard (2016) 3:52 Pullblox World (2014) 4:50 Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water (Fatal Frame in NA) (2015) 5:48 Game & Wario (2013) 6:41 Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush (Rainbow Curse in NA) (2015) 7:39 Wii Sports Club (2013-14) 8:31 NES Remix 1 & 2 (2013) 9:35 Paper Mario: Color Splash (2016) 10:23 Nintendo Land (2012) 11:45 Yoshi's Woolly World (2015) 12:25 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (2013) and Twilight Princess HD (2016) (🤦♂️ wish we didn't have to do this ourselves)
I'm not sure if I'd like the game on the Wii U itself, but I've really enjoyed emulating it on PC (with both windows displayed on one screen, making it a lot easier to glance between the two). The gyro aim is a very cool and useful feature, and it helps make combat so much better in All-Range Mode.
@@hahasamian8010 Yeah, I feel like that was the big limiter on intuitiveness for the WiiU, the fact that by their very nature the two screens couldn't be locked in your view like with the DS systems. Just too many variables for the human brain to get used to in casual play.
Same. I keep feeling that the same game, retooled for single-screen play, would be seen as an excellent StarFox game and one that would top Starfox 64 easily. It was such an expansive game, with which rarely people played it long enough to unlock the dimensional gate stuff. For an arcade-style space romp, it was a pretty large game.
10:25 I’m so glad you mentioned Nintendo Land, that game was amazing and one of those me and my family would go back to every once and a while and play for a bit :)
@@JD69Han wow that's crazy, on ebay UK it's only £20-30 sealed BRAND NEW. I might buy a copy but I wonder why it's not going up nearly as high as the American release
Well Nintendo just sent me a user survey for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and I used this opportunity to ask for a Xenoblade Chronicles X port. :P
I literally just bought a Wii U last night b.c of that. Excited to also play XenoBlade X and the Fatal Frame game I just found out about in this video.
11:44 Yoshi's Woolly World has one of the best Amiibo feature ever! Playing as 2 Yoshis at the same time is just amazing and so much fun! Plus, YWW shares a sad story with SMM1: they both had Amiibo costumes from a lot of franchises but their sequels (Yoshi's Crafted World/Super Mario Maker 2) don't!
But they also said that in 2017 or 2018. Things changed a lot from back then. Considering Xenoblade 2 just surpassed 2M units worldwide and Xenoblade DE is selling pretty well, I think this may have changed.
Specifically the testing part because of how large the game. Xenoblade is slowly moving up the ladder of most popular jrpgs so at some point the port cost can be justified but who knows when
turned on my Wii U for the first time in years and I was immediately hit with the feeling of "this is a console experience". Switch after 5 years still feels like a tablet with apps
Please, nintendo, for the love of all that is holy, please port wind waker HD to the switch already. It looks absolutely beautiful, and I just want to relive my childhood nostalgia in HD
@@thomaseggen4480 the perma evade build is broken also, but more of a late game thing. Game overall is pretty bad at balancing. Still super fun though.
After listening to his sultry bass tones, I never imagined he'd be a young, t-shirt wearing, honest to goodness gamer. I imagined an older, hired voice actor with little to no gaming XP.
While "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is by far one of the games of my life, I would love "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" and "Tank! Tank! Tank!" to make the jump to the Switch.
Those sections in NES Remix where Link is in Super Mario Bros and Toad in Legend of Zelda should be the basis of it's own game where you play through classic NES games with characters from other games.
"Wii U was a horrible platform." "Please let us play all the Wii U games!" I seriously don't understand how no one wanted this console when everyone loved it's games. It was gimmicky and the controller wasn't for everyone, but I always found a lot of charm and personality in its gimmicks, and got used to the controller.
Wii U was a very unique idea but sadly marketing and third party support hindered it. The fact that there have been so many games that people want on Switch highlights that it had a great library overall imo.
@@heavydonkeykong5190 tbh, if the Wii U had consistent third party support, I think the 1st party library would be considered the best of the era. But with no other releases asides from that time to time the console felt very empty some times.
It blows my mind that Wind Waker and Twilight Princess have not been ported to the Switch yet. That is legit just throwing away money on Nintendo's part.
Nintendo 2023 here. We regret to inform you that your Switch versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD will not be coming this year or any other year because Aonuma deems it so. Have a good rest of the year and thank you. -_- If you have these games on the WiiU keep them! Prices have skyrocketed for most Zelda titles on consoles that aren't BOTW or TOTK.

The only wrench in that idea is the new IP(which could still become a Xenoblade game like X did).
The Wii U is a great and nostalgic console. They didn't advertise it well and you could've kept a wii for a while but damn it was fun. My favorite console to this date.
LAME
@@KingK1421 Shut up.

@@JessieJamesPlays no one asked for your comment...
@@TVGuy1 Nothing needs to be super advanced for me to like it. It's just my personal favorite, I don't even consider it to be the best.
FINALLY! SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME ABOUT STAR FOX ZERO!!!!! THANK YOU JON!!!
For what little it matters you can count me in. Also Guard is a good game that does use the Gamepad in a meaningful way. It's a great proof of concept that tower defense games would have worked perfectly on the Wii U.
Quite honestly I would have loved to play Star fox zero. The controls seem like a hassle but there is nothing wrong with them. The game seems fun so I would be in.
It's a game that had potential, a bit derivative yes, but the core mechanics worked. But it always circles back to the control scheme. Once you got used to it they were.... adequate, and I'm not opposed to games with motion controls like Skyward Sword or Kid Icarus Uprising. But it got to points in Star Fox Zero where i became so frustrated with the controls that I turned my console off mid battle during the boss fight on Fachina, and against Andross.
@@facepwnagewtf totally agreed, those motion controls soured the whole experience. I also quit mid Andross fight, so your not alone there.
I recently played it myself and there is a fun game to play. But there are times the game hurts to play. Like why the fuck is the barrel roll mapped to the joystick
Over three years later and Fatal Frame is the only one of these to be ported!
4:50
Nintendo: “WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN”
Xenoblade X NEEDS to be on Switch. I love that game soooooooo much. Pretty much the only game I played on Wii U. If it came to Switch, I will buy it the millisecond it is available. And hopefully it gets a sequel cause the ending left such a huge cliff hanger
No
@@V3X50 Exactly No. The exclusive games make the Wii U valuable.
@@GreenMegaEthan all the best did get ported(even no nintendo promised them to be exclusives) thats why the wii u is not valuable.
NINTENDO! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD-PLEASE RELEASE XBX TO SWITCH
I agree.
Let's see how good this video ages, see you in 3 years 😂
I´m gonna give it 6 months
Yeah
Byeeee
+1
I hope for the Switch to be discontinued at that time.
Nintendo Land really was so special, wasn't it?
(also you have an amazing voice)
My favorite game on Wii U was Affordable Space Adventures, it utilized the game pad so well and multiplayer story was so much fun. I don’t think it could ever get ported to switch, especially since it was a third-party title, but it will always be one of my top games
I wouldn't call it my favorite but it's a pretty good game. and unfortunately it will be lost forever when the eshop will close next yer.
I still own my Wii U for 1 game: Affordable Space Adventures.
I still have not bought that one. Looks like a lot of fun.
@@MrMikander trust me, it is.
bruh... love that game. What a great comment!
Seeing Jon in a nintendo life t-shirt is still weird lol
Indeed, albeit a good weird :D
Agreed
im confused who is jon
@@juice3287 I believe he used to work for GameXplain
I really hope The Last Story comes to Switch one day. One of my favourites and still disappointed we never got a sequel.
I played the entirety of Star Fox Zero in Co-op and it was one of the best experiences on the Wii U. Having one player as a gunner and one as a pilot was an absolute blast and I can't recommend it enough if someone is looking for a fun multi-player game.
Yoshi’s Woolly World is one of the reasons I’m thinking of getting another Wii-U. I loved that game. It was just fun and simple. When I didn’t want to think a lot and just enjoy playing a game, it was the one I’d go to. Just relaxing to me. Right now all I got is a regular Wii. Also I want to play Breath of the Wild.
For me it's one of the best 2D games. The gameplay, the music, the visuals, everything is great.
For me, Wooly World comes pretty close to Yoshi's Island and both are among my favorite platformers ever.
I’m so glad I’ve had my Wii U since 2012!
Same
Although the Wii U was a failure I am very happy to have one, it was one of the consoles that made me most happy and it was the console that had some of Nintendo's best exclusives, besides I had the chance to play Breath of the Wild on launch day, I was able to play many games like Super Mario 3D World and Bayonetta 2 years before Nintendo if you want to think about bringing them to the Switch, I don't think I need to mention the promotions from that time too, even today I remember at the launch of Mario Kart 8 when I got Pikmin 3 totally free and there were Nintendo Selects with games like Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze for $20, nowadays it is unthinkable to see any Nintendo exclusive for less than $60, as times have changed... thankfully I was able to enjoy it.
@@MoonSarito The Wii U wasn't a failure in my book! It was the only console that I played during its lifetime, so I got the full experience! I really had a fun time with it, and I still play it every now and then.
The comments are so wholesome
Totally same. Play mine constantly!
I would love Xenoblade x, nes remix, nintendo land and the zeldas all coming over to Switch as my personal choices
At that point just..... get a wiiu. I still have mine and will never let it go. It’s got 80% of the switches “exclusives” and they’re 1/3 cheaper.
@@hinoname3954 I do have a Wii U and all the games I mentioned. I just want them on the switch for portability and because they're great games that deserve some love, which unfortunately due to the Wii U doing poorly, they never really got. I do love the Wii U still though

Or maybe you could just watch the full video lol. Its not that long lol
Thanks. You saved me 11 minutes today
"Star fox Zero is a good game" Thank you!! Another soul who likes this game I though it was very good
I'm not sure if I'd like the game on the Wii U itself, but I've really enjoyed emulating it on PC (with both windows displayed on one screen, making it a lot easier to glance between the two). The gyro aim is a very cool and useful feature, and it helps make combat so much better in All-Range Mode.
@@hahasamian8010 Yeah, I feel like that was the big limiter on intuitiveness for the WiiU, the fact that by their very nature the two screens couldn't be locked in your view like with the DS systems. Just too many variables for the human brain to get used to in casual play.
Ikr, I loved that game to death.
Same. I keep feeling that the same game, retooled for single-screen play, would be seen as an excellent StarFox game and one that would top Starfox 64 easily. It was such an expansive game, with which rarely people played it long enough to unlock the dimensional gate stuff. For an arcade-style space romp, it was a pretty large game.
10:25 I’m so glad you mentioned Nintendo Land, that game was amazing and one of those me and my family would go back to every once and a while and play for a bit :)
I'd argue it took the spiritual place that the Mario Party would have taken, if it wasn't marred by the controversial single-car mechanics.
He forgot Devils Thrid :( I honestly love that game and wish Nintendo would release an updated version fixing some of the problems it had
Totally agree, it’s an unsung flawed masterpiece. (Also it’s getting up there in price recently, just sold my copy for 155 usd.)
So true! Also love Devils third and it deserves get polished up! Glad that someone else like it
@@JD69Han wow that's crazy, on ebay UK it's only £20-30 sealed BRAND NEW. I might buy a copy but I wonder why it's not going up nearly as high as the American release
That game is dead!
@@MatadorMedia Omg lmao!
Xenoblade Chronicles X is one of my favorite games of all time. It's enough of a reason to get a Wii U.
Xenonblade chronicles X is a must on switch ! Its My favourite Wii U Game!❤️
Nintendo life: there are still games left in the wii u
Nintendo: write that down, write that down
I didn't realize what a cool system the Wii U is. I remember buying one for my son about 10 years ago.
Well Nintendo just sent me a user survey for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and I used this opportunity to ask for a Xenoblade Chronicles X port. :P
You really are a true heropon
They sent you a user survey? How?! O_O
If I get one, I'm asking for the port too!
Thank you
@@ChakraWarrior2012 me too, I loved Xenoblade Chronicles
Cheers mate
A wise man once posted on Twitter that he was gathering Xenoblade X footage for something. I see this is what it was for
I’m interested in Xenoblade X, fatal frame and the Zelda remasters. I would definitely buy those games.
I love Nintendoland so much, glad it was on this list.
don't forget just about every N64, GBA, DS and Wii game available on the eshop that hasn't been ported yet.
I literally just bought a Wii U last night b.c of that. Excited to also play XenoBlade X and the Fatal Frame game I just found out about in this video.
11:44 Yoshi's Woolly World has one of the best Amiibo feature ever!
Playing as 2 Yoshis at the same time is just amazing and so much fun!
Plus, YWW shares a sad story with SMM1: they both had Amiibo costumes from a lot of franchises but their sequels (Yoshi's Crafted World/Super Mario Maker 2) don't!
*_#1 Banjo Kazooie...oh wait_*
Correction: XCX is extremely unlikely to come to Switch. They've already stated it's too expensive and have no intentions of doing it.
But they also said that in 2017 or 2018. Things changed a lot from back then. Considering Xenoblade 2 just surpassed 2M units worldwide and Xenoblade DE is selling pretty well, I think this may have changed.
Specifically the testing part because of how large the game. Xenoblade is slowly moving up the ladder of most popular jrpgs so at some point the port cost can be justified but who knows when
The cost of carthridges to go down. Nintendo is probably waiting for the cost to go down
😭We still don't have Wind Waker or Twilight Princess HD on switch😭
turned on my Wii U for the first time in years and I was immediately hit with the feeling of "this is a console experience". Switch after 5 years still feels like a tablet with apps
Pushmo NEEDS to be on switch. I just need it. Really good puzzle game, and any puzzle game that lets you make your own puzzles is an A+
Please, nintendo, for the love of all that is holy, please port wind waker HD to the switch already. It looks absolutely beautiful, and I just want to relive my childhood nostalgia in HD
Buy a Wii U.
@@princessjulieta those are going to be rare systems
Get an emulator.
True nothings impossible to get like for example I can still buy a new Ps3 controller for 20 bucks. Also Wii U doesn't have a emulator.
I'd love to see XCX come back, but I feel like it'd have to come with changes to multiplayer, notification system and balancing of classes.
Leave long swords alone 😂😂😂😂
I want that game for new system to leave no doubt how amazing that game was or a XCX2.
@@IISuzakuII Bruh I mained Longsword, I know how Bursted that thing was XD. Most classes couldn't match that dmg till sometime late game.
Longsword? That's an odd way of spelling dual guns - ghostwalker
@@thomaseggen4480 the perma evade build is broken also, but more of a late game thing. Game overall is pretty bad at balancing. Still super fun though.
This guy was thinking windwaker and twilight princess would be on the switch 3 years ago. What hopeful thinking
Jon looks and sounds so much happier - we love to see it! Also, where is my Xenoblade Chronicles X HD for the Switch, Nintendo?! 🥺
Takahashi was too busy making the DLC bait that is Xenoblade 3
Jon from DKC3
Watch all of these be on switch by the end of the switch’s life
Xenoblade Chronicles X is awesome! Looking forward to seeing what Zelda games might be ported to Switch this year.
After listening to his sultry bass tones, I never imagined he'd be a young, t-shirt wearing, honest to goodness gamer. I imagined an older, hired voice actor with little to no gaming XP.
Shows you can’t judge a person by just their voice
While "Xenoblade Chronicles X" is by far one of the games of my life, I would love "Tekken Tag Tournament 2" and "Tank! Tank! Tank!" to make the jump to the Switch.
Wii U Is amazing, so many features should’ve been on switch.
I'm really hoping for a Nintendo Land sequal.
The two Zelda ports, Nintendo Land and Woolly World are the only ones that I’d still want ported to Switch. The rest I don’t care about.
I'm from the future, and there are still no Windwaker and Twilight Princes on switch
Those sections in NES Remix where Link is in Super Mario Bros and Toad in Legend of Zelda should be the basis of it's own game where you play through classic NES games with characters from other games.
Nintendo worker: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!!
Still missing Link's awaking 2: The quest to save Marin from being trapped as a seagull forever .
I remember when Derrick made a list like this back when the switch came out and nearly every single one came out except Xenoblade X.
In addition to these I’d also like Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Batman: Arkham Assylum to be ported over.
Those are not Nintendo
@@souljastation5463 they are both games released for Wii U
The deus ex games should come to the switch
"Wii U was a horrible platform."
"Please let us play all the Wii U games!"
I seriously don't understand how no one wanted this console when everyone loved it's games.
It was gimmicky and the controller wasn't for everyone, but I always found a lot of charm and personality in its gimmicks, and got used to the controller.
I missed the whole Wii U era, and honestly, I feel like I missed a lot. Hope the Switch revives the whole experience.
Same...
Btw nur der BVB
Wii U was a very unique idea but sadly marketing and third party support hindered it. The fact that there have been so many games that people want on Switch highlights that it had a great library overall imo.
ua-cam.com/video/Z5UrU2psZwg/v-deo.html
@@heavydonkeykong5190 tbh, if the Wii U had consistent third party support, I think the 1st party library would be considered the best of the era. But with no other releases asides from that time to time the console felt very empty some times.
@@MrDiana1706 true. I think this video shows how much of a cool idea that the Gamepad was too.
It blows my mind that Wind Waker and Twilight Princess have not been ported to the Switch yet. That is legit just throwing away money on Nintendo's part.
2 yes later, still wii u exclusives :(
Literally debating getting a wii u basically for these 2 games
still waiting on Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Xenoblade X 😭
Maiden of blackwater is coming to the switch
Yoshi’s Wooly World needs to come to switch right now
Yeah. It was adorable and really intuitve.
Yah after watching the video today I started playing this game again and it’s so good
Skyward Sword should be part of a Zelda compilation imo.
this guy seems so nice, I didn't expect to enjoy the video as much as I did. just wanted to thank you for this video and your work dude!
Nintendo 2023 here.
We regret to inform you that your Switch versions of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD will not be coming this year or any other year because Aonuma deems it so. Have a good rest of the year and thank you.
-_- If you have these games on the WiiU keep them! Prices have skyrocketed for most Zelda titles on consoles that aren't BOTW or TOTK.
i really wish wii party u would come to the switch, that game is so fun and so underrated
