People complained about this console for being all about first parties and under powered. Which is kind of dumb. Because what did people expect. Everyone acts as though Nintendo hasn't been this since N64. Seriously everyone here praises N64 and GameCube because they loved it as they were young and act like it wasn't the same as Wii U. Those consoles like the Wii U were mostly first party machines with nothing else to offer and you're lying if you say otherwise. It's just how it is. And the Wii U like those consoles is a worthy purchase because of all the awesome exclusives. And I'm going to give you all the great reasons to own this console. Breath of the Wild - This is self explanatory. Most people find it outstanding and a system seller Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD - The value of these remasters depends on if or if not you played the originals and how much you liked them. Regardless they're there. Super Mario 3D World - Amazing level design and one of the best 3D Mario's, maybe best to date especially with its 4 player co op and bonus worlds Rayman Legends - Counting because the Wii U had the definitive version of this game New Super Mario Bros U - Strong 2D Mario with an outstanding dlc with Luigi U that was insanely difficult and throwback to old school Mario Mario Kart 8 - The definitive and most refined Mario Kart. Battle Mode sucked. Everything else about it was fantastic. Smash Wii U - Best Smash Bros. Filled to the brim with so much content and customization it was insane. Only reason to not like it best is if you're a Melee competitive fan who cares about nothing outside competitive. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker - Yes I'm serious. It's not Portal good as a puzzle game. But it's one of the best I've played. Bayonetta 2 - One of the best games ever in its genre. Comes with the first game for free. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - The latest full console version of this epic series of taking on constant giant monsters and always working towards the next. It's a great experience that offers over 100 hours of content. Xenoblade Chronicles X - HUGE game. The Mechs are awesome. One of the hugest worlds in any good. Stories lacking and long tutorials suck. But once things get going it's excellent. Pikmin 3 - Not much to say. The best Pikmin game. Very fun. Good multiplayer. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - Anyone who cares about strong 2D platformers that really challenge you from the get go understand why this is fantastic. Yoshi's Wooly World - Much better Yoshi game than the lame 3DS attempt. Not fantastic. But still a good game. Pokken Tournament - First time you get to really play as the Pokemon you all love in a terrific fighting game that looks and plays great Mario Maker - Get 4 different Mario game styles with pretty much limitless possibilities and levels. Hyrule Warriors - very fun power fantasy type game set in the Zelda universe. Let's you finally play as all your favorite Zelda characters and co op. Nintendo Land - Don't dismiss it for being minigame collection. This blows away Wii Sports. So many fun asymmetrical competitive modes. Some fun single player mini games. And awesome 5 player co op modes. Don't forget Shovel Knight and all the eShop games from the SNES and all. I mean he'll Earthbound is on there. This was a great console. I'll never come close to regretting my purchase. And I recommend now more than ever since the Switch is out to get it. As it will go down in price.
