Nintendo Wii U Buying Guide + 16 Best Games!

It might be fun to follow up this video with THIRD PARTY GAMES for Wii U, like Batman:Arkham City-Armored Edition, Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, etc. What do you think?

Nice to see the Wii U getting love Been there since 2013, most underrated console since the Dreamcast.

[@SS64DD]

this is an old comment, but that doesn't make it any less true. I was pretty young when I got my wii U for cristmas in 2014 and never really appreciated it. now, with the eshop closing, I've been going out of my way to get all of the wii U games that I want to play physically before they get extremely expensive

[@TheMelonFarmers123]

@@SS64DD I’ve actually been doing the same thing to my 3ds. Actually watched a tutorial on how to back up my sd card in case I have to replace the card or console to see if there was gonna be any weird roadblocks. A lot of the games I cherish on Wii U made their way to switch eventually (not all but most) but a lot of the games on 3ds are stuck there, and I really hope they are ported to switch one day. I really think the Wii U was the necessary prototype for the switch to exist, but, having a switch since 2018, there’s a lot about how the switch works vs Wii U that’s frustrating to me. There’s still no communication like at all. Mii verse would have popped on switch, and would make it much easier to find groups and communicate still in your console. No real virtual console, just a weird subscription service with glaring omissions or companies reselling their classic games at a premium. Online is just as bad as Wii U except you have to pay for it now. Alright Nintendo. I just had to get this off my chest. The Wii U was thrown away by the mainstream and wasn’t perfect. But for my big monster hands, I honestly think the gamepad was my favorite and most comfortable controller I ever used. The sticks were great for shooters like black ops 2, but since no one played it, it was like being skilled at something no one cared about lol. And it still has some of the highest rated games of that console generation, despite being canned around 2017. The Wii U walked so the switch could run.

[@jarod3371]

@@TheMelonFarmers123 great comment. I agree. If you liked the size of the gamepad, you should look at the SteamDeck. Very large but extremely comfortable hand held.

[@TheMelonFarmers123]

@@jarod3371 that’s funny you bring that up I was just looking at steam decks the other day. I’m not really digging what Xbox and ps are doing this gen, much less if you can even find the damn console without it being a part time job. But the steam deck, with its ability to be docked and portable, having a lot of games that are on both ps and Xbox, along with its less mainstream capabilities like emulation and messing with games that may not be “officially” supported but certainly can run, is fascinating. I do find the input layout a bit weird, but I’ve also never held one. Was kind of hoping a friend would get it before me but it doesn’t look like that is a thing. Honestly I think ima hang back until steam deck v2 if that ever comes out. I got my switch just before the version with the bigger and better battery came out, and while it’s not the biggest deal ever, it does sting a little watching my friends who waited and got a better product that they don’t have to be as aware of battery life as I have to be, especially when playing more intense games portably or using internet functionality portably

[@qunt100]

@@TheMelonFarmers123 Honestly, I am just wildly pissed that nintendo is deleting the 3DS and Wii U Eshops entirely in march of 2023. Like man I hate that shit. I like how Sony and Microsoft are keeping the stores for the old shit up. Just annoying, especially for eshop exclusives or DLC.

Here a few tip for Wii U collectors: - First print of BotW has kind of a misprint, fixed on the second print. Back of the game show you can use a wii mote to play the game, and this is false. - If I were you I would buy Darksiders Warmastered. One of the last Wii U games, with a lovely "false advertisement" sentence in the back, claiming that the Wii U version runs at 60 fps (and it runs at 30) - If you can find the Russian Special Edition of Darksiders 2, consider yourself lucky. It's a freakin' unicorn. - If you can buy the WindWaker console bundle, buy it. The only wii u special edition console released. - Get yourself a copy of Fatal Frame - Spiderman was removed from the e-shop. Physical price will probably go up. - Fast Racing Neo could be rare, EU only. - Scribblenauts Unmasked was released in the US and Australia, for European collectors (as myself), this is the only not released in Europe that can be played on European consoles. - Germany has a MK8 steelbok, Rayman Legends Steelbook, a Monster Hunter very rare version (with an ugly decal), and a lovely cardboard sleeve with cat mario (3d World) with an actual fluffy belly. - Sonic Lost World normal edition is more rare than the special edition (Deadly Six) - Not an official game, but GAME sold in the UK a box with a download code and some collectibles (poster and pokeballs) for the game Pokemon Rumble U

Kelsey you rock but smash bros on 3ds runs 60FPS - same as console, while wiiu does have a larger resolution - it doesn't technically run better. Yeah look at the loser commenting on tiny mistakes that dont matter, but this is a point that irked me ever since portable smash bros was announced. Always under a critical lens I kept the news of that game and when Nintendo delivered Sm4sh for 3ds with that amazing framerate it really exceeded expectations of a portable Smash Bros, its a marvel.

[@TheClassicWorld]

The Wii U is the most underrated console in the world. It's only a bit worse than the Switch in most ways and is better than the PS4/Xbox One in many ways. It is backward-compatible with the entire library of 1,500 Wii games, has 750 of its own games, giving it 2,200 games in total, with 41 exclusives (Switch only has 35). It has free internet, Netflix, and online play. It has countless controllers. It's cheap to buy for. The new battery pack can make it last 8 hours (nearly twice that of the Switch). It also has better exclusives, such as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, and Super Mario 3D World. It also has a good library of games itself, such as: 007 Legends Alice in Wonderland The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Assassin's Creed 3 Assassin's Creed 4 Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham Orings Bayonetta Bayonetta 2 Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Call of Duty Ghosts Edge Guitar Hero Live The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild The Cave LEGO Batman 2 LEGO Batman 3 LEGO Jurassic World LEGO Marvel Super Heroes LEGO Marvel's Avengers LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens LEGO The Hobbit Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Mario Kart 8 Mass Effect 3 Mario VS Donkey Kong New Super Luigi U New Super Mario Brothers U Nintendo Land Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures The Pinball Arcade Pokemon Rumble U Resident Evil: Revelations Super Mario Maker Super Smash Brothers Splinter Cell Blacklist Sonic Lost World Transformers The Walking Dead Watch Dogs Wii Sports Club

I really love playing Breath of the Wild with main controller just because when aiming with a bow.

@Mako You get to play DS games on the Wii U with your TV and gamepad if you choose.

One game I've got in my collection is Runbow, which was developed with the WiiU in mind because it could support up to 9 players (straight from the developers mouth). There is a Switch port now, but still good for collecting purposes.

[@cheslynholland1487]

I recently bought a wii u for very cheap, with the intent to flip it. My family has literally fallen in love with the system. My wife who never cared for gaming at all, loves Smash bros and Mario 3D world. I don't think she will let me sell the system anymore. This makes the Wii u a very special system.

[@UnlicensedOkie]

Since i don't have the money for the switch I decided to just focus on getting games for my wiiU

I love my Wii U. I use it more for Wii games these days. But I still own all my U games too. It's amazing!

[@Drewsefer89]

I have the original white WiiU that only has 8g of space. It has so many extra ports for external storage even more than I on my computer. I've been using the cheapest thumbsticks for storage for years now & never had a problem. I've even pulled it out while the WiiU was on. I have tons of games on it and not one corrupted file. The risk is minimal. There's with everything. Even physical. In fact I have a physical game that won't play due to a tiny little scratch that you can barely see.

[@Skankhunt-hl9zj]

That’s good to know I just ordered a Wii U and it cost me 170$ idk if that’s too high I just hope I get it in good condition. I wanted something to play all the Zelda games on.

same. If they only had better games on it instead of a few good ones. Little incentive to buy one back then. I have two, one modded, one not. Love the console.

[@Nope2479]

It had some amazing games. The failure led to the switch. It was meant to be.

[@5punkybob]

It's not a game issue.. it's idiots going "oh it's just a new Wii... I already have a Wii" instead of looking at what it really is. I picked up one towards the end of its life and stopped using my xbone completely so sold it.

[@Nope2479]

Pierre Dedye well in that case it was a marketing issue

[@5punkybob]

@@Nope2479 yes..

[@TimLeeSongs]

I have mixed feeling on the Wii U. Beautiful graphics, particularly Zelda which is one of the most gorgeous games I’ve seen. I also love the WiiU Pro controller, which I would say is the best controller for Retro Pie, as there are so many options when going between different consoles on the Raspberry Pi. I also like how it’s backwards compatible and you can download old games through the store. However, really not a fan of the huge screen controller, the interface is a bit irritating and the cd based games don’t last long with kids!

I just bought my own Wii U and received it yesterday. I'm excited to use it to play all of the older generation Nintendo games I missed while growing up. I just bought Metroid Prime Trilogy, and Mario Kart 8 was pre installed. I intend to purchase the 2D Metroid series, some if the Zelda games, New Super Mario series, and many other miscellaneous games across the generations that I'll find fun to play. Either way, I'm a happy boy.

AHHH YESSSS! Been waiting in this one!!

[@dariusq8894]

I recommend Runbow for WiiU. It's a platformer/party game which supports up to 9 player simultaneous.

[@waldevv]

Tears of the kingdom really brought me back to playing a lot of Nintendo games and made me finally want to get a Wii U since it's so versatile for a lot of stuff when modded. Though honestly I mainly wanted to play Windwaker in HD which is awesome

[@TheFallenSithMaster]

It's the most beautiful version of the game but the frame rate is pretty bad for boss fights and certain enemies in the game but didn't ruin the experience

This was my last straw with nintendo as the wii u version would have been better than the switch version with all the game pad functions - I see that blank screen as a big f*** you from nintendo everytime I play and have no intention of buying a switch!

One thing to mention is Wii games that use the dance pad controller such as DDR use the gamecube controller port. There are adapters that let you connect it to the Wiimote so you can play them on Wii U, but it's not always 100% responsive. i found this out after I sold my original Wii lol

Pro tip for Captain Toad Treasure Tracker: 1/3 of the game isn't accessible without the Toad Amiibo. So pick that up because it's an awesome puzzle game but it's short.

[@axelalexk2]

Should have mentioned Zombi U. Definitely the best use of the gamepad by any game on the system. I loved it. Also I believe the Wii U supports up to 2, 2TB external harddrives. I can't imagine you'd ever need that much space though lol.

[@axelalexk2]

@Doctor Doom That isn't inherently a bad thing. It's meant to be a slow game. The game isn't trying to be CoD zombies mode. It's that way to force the player to be more strategic and careful, it's a survival horror game. It's not for everyone, but that aspect of the game is intentional so you can't take on more than 1 or 2 zombies at once.

[@dragontail1166]

Proud owner of Wii U. Finish Zelda botw using it. Too bad they drop the map in the screen. Glad they ported most of the amazing game to switch.

I bought a used Wii-U for 120$ two years ago for Super Smash Bros. and Zelda Breath of the Wild, and was not disappointed. I have expanded my library since and it now a Zelda/Metroid machine for me, and I am totally satisfied with my purchase. There is a certain satisfaction I get, when my roommate that has a Switch, wants to borrow my Wii so he can play WindWaker or Twilight Princess in HD.

[@smokegames1179]

just bought a mint condition wiiu for $90

[@ryandavies964]

I picked up the wii u for one of my sons christmas pressies the 2nd year of its release and didnt play it much at all. We had like 8 games and a few digital download ones, the big nintendo games and even now we have like only 20 games. However what got e playing it was getting a pro controller. Yeah you need the tablet for some games like even in breath of the wild you need to use the tablet controller to tilt in some of the shrines but i use the pro controller for that game too 95% of the time and its a blast. Over half the games mentioned here (the JRPG like or more off center titles we dont have here) we have and yah theyre a lot of fun. My first console was a NES back in 86 when I was 6 and my oldest son was 6 when I got this so I was kinda hoping to share that excitement and love for nintendo and both my boys do love the crap outa the console and so does my missus and myself. It is such an underrated console and far better than people give credit for, its just a shame the proprietary engine and os were so time consuming and difficult to port to, hence why so many developers fell out of making games for the console. The fact that yes it does indeed play wii games is a massive boon and I'm planning on scouring ebay for hidden gems and youtube and websites for suggestions, also buying a bigger SD card and filling it with the classic older console games on the nintendo store while the system is still being supported. I will break this thing down and repair it if it ever breaks as yeah getting a new one is impossible and 2nd hand is a crapshoot and I know this unit has been cared for and loved so yeah, its a keeper. PC Master Race tho ;)

[@egdirkcol]

[@mrnukes797]

I suggest you get all the virtual console games that you want as of right now I have a feeling that Nintendo might shut it down pretty soon so if you want to play exclusive games l Earthbound, sin and punishment, and all the exclusives NOW would be a good time to buy them if Nintendo decides to shut it down.

Super Mario 3D World would be a really good idea on the Switch I guess. You could play co-op using each joy-con as a separate controller.

[@OTPulse]

Cutter Elf: I would expect this a while after Mario Odyessey comes out so they don't compete with each other. My guess would be the Mario 3D World port might come out few months before a new Mario Kart: Switch to build new Mario game hype.
