It’s no secret that Switch has conquered a large part of the biggest Wii U titles, like Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World and many, many more … but there are still a number of games that remain exclusive to Wii U. We didn’t just want to highlight the old games, these 13 are legitimately fantastic and we hope to see some of them join players like Bayonetta 2 in the Switch port series.
They range from obvious choices, like Xenoblade Chronicles X, to lesser-known gems, like Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater. Wii U may not have been Nintendo’s most popular machine, but that doesn’t detract from how good some of its games were, several titles had a successful second life on the Switch (Mario Kart 8 ranked as the Switch’s best-selling game).
However, we are excluding games that have been essentially replaced by similar iterations on the Switch. These include Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Mario Maker.
Did you play any of the games mentioned in this video and are there any other Wii U games that you still have an attachment on?
