It’s no secret that Switch has captured much of the biggest Wii U titles, such as Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World and more … but there are still a number of games left exclusive for the Wii U. We didn’t just want to highlight any old games, however, these 13 are legitimately fantastic and we hope to see some of them join those from Bayonetta 2 in the Switch series of ports.
These range from obvious choices, such as Xenoblade Chronicles X, to lesser-known gems, such as Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater. The Wii U may not have been Nintendo’s most popular car, but that doesn’t detract from how good some of its games have been, with many titles having a second successful life on the Switch (Mario Kart 8 being the best sold Switch game).
However, we exclude games that have been essentially replaced with similar iterations on the Switch. These include Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Mario Maker.
Have you played any of the games mentioned in this video and are there any other Wii U games you still have an attachment to?
