Where to Start with the Wii U

With the next generation of consoles just around the corner, now is as good a time as any to appreciate what has come before.

And just from reading the title alone, I know what you’re thinking - but hear me out! Even though the Wii U was a commercial and financial flop, and was essentially an HD Wii with a touch-pad; the Wii U curated so many unique and enthralling experiences, that (for now) are exclusive to the console.

I doubt the Wii U could ever reach the level of nostalgic cultural reverence that Sega’s Dreamcast achieved, but the catalogue of gems produced during the Wii U’s era is nothing to be scoffed at.

SWITCHING LANES

The lucky ones that did make the switch to the Switch garnered the attention and acclaim they deserve, having these games more accessible on a successful console with a comparatively gargantuan player base.

Titles such as: Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe), The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3 (Deluxe), Splatoon 2, Hyrule Warriors (Definitive Edition), and Pokkén Tournament (DX).

By all means, pick any of them up on whichever platform suits your preference; although it goes without saying that if you own a Switch (or plan on doing so), the games listed above have more to offer in their latest iterations.

And so, here are seven games to help you know where to start with the Wii U.

Nintendo Land (2012)
