<strike> I know what you're thinking, but this is the best console version of the game. OffTV play is cool too, and the online is solid</strike>

Well, only reason this is here is because the Wii U launch games are a fucking joke. So this is the best version of the game though, but its not recommended for other than children.

Nintendo's first theme park, right in your living room. The park is divided into sections that represent different Nintendo franchises. Lots of fun with friends and alone.

No Review Listed
Wii U Exclusive
Note: specifies games that have Off TV Play. When necessary, sub-notes should be written beside it (in parenthesis if you wish).
A Wii U port of the game. No changes from 360/PS3/PC versions.
Gamepad, Pro Controller
Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition
Action-Adventure/Being a Badass
An enhanced port of Batman: Arkham City exclusively for Wii U. Has everything from before, a Battle Armor Tech mode, reimagined gadgets, and all previously released DLC on the disc. If you haven't played Arkham City before, it's worth a shot on the Wii U.
Gamepad
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
First Person Shooter
I know what you're thinking, but this is the best console version of the game. Off-TV play is cool too, and the online is solid.
>:( Hurr guns
Gamepad, Pro Controller
Darksiders II
Adventure/Hack and Slash
This game is amazing, and the Wii U version is great. Off TV play is good, and if you're playing on TV your inventory shows up on the gamepad. Gameplay is like if you put Zelda and God of War together. Comes with DLC.
Gamepad, Pro Controller
New Super Mario Bros. U
2D Platformer
ANOTHER New Super Mario Bros. game? Well, this happens to be the best one so far in the series. Mario and his friends are in glorious HD, and a fifth player can completely fuck with help others with the Wii U pad. Still has the shitty toad players, though. At least you can use your Mii instead. (Only supported through single player properly, in multiplayer you can only use Wiimotes to actually play properly, you can only place blocks down using the Gamepad.)
Gamepad, Wiimote
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Action-Adventure/Hack-N-Slash
An enhanced port of the critically panned Ninja Gaiden 3, similiar to the Ninja Gaiden Sigma releases for the PS3. Team Ninja did their best to listen to and address the numerous issues from the original game, removing enemies begging for their lives, as well as adding more weapons, moves, and playable characters, bringing back the Karma system for upgrades, and significantly upping the game's uncharacteristically easy difficulty level. Get a Pro Controller to play it, although the Gamepad is still usable.
Gamepad, Pro Controller
Nintendo Land
Minigames
Nintendo's first theme park, right in your living room. The park is divided into sections that represent different Nintendo franchises. Lots of fun with friends and alone.
Is included with the Wii U Deluxe Bundle.
Gamepad, Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Platformer/Puzzle
Maxwell is back again in probably the best Scribblenauts game so far. Has an Object Creator; you can literally make anything now. Also on Steam, which is probably better to get there since the Wii U just came out.
Gamepad, Wiimote for multiplayer
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Racing
Sequel to Sega's fantastic racer, this time with added Planes and Hovercraft. (To switch to Gamepad mode just swipe down on the touchscreen, completely undocumented in the manuals or anything.)
The usual exciting roster of Tekken with just a touch of Nintendo. Gameplay is still a blast as usual, adding in features lost since the original Tekken Tag Tournament.
Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro, Wiimote + Nunchuk
ZombiU
Survival-Horror / FPS
A (sort of) reboot of the 1986 PC game Zombi. Fight zombies. Trying to revive the Survival Horror genre with classic gameplay.
Gamepad, Pro Controller for Multiplayer

Little Inferno
Sandbox/Fireplace Sim
Burn things, collect money, buy more things to burn and make combos with and repeat. Has a very dark story going on throughout. same guys who did World of Goo. Wii U version is not much different to the PC version.
Gamepad, Wiimote
The Cave
Adventure/Platformer/Puzzle
New Double Fine game which plays similar to a point and click game, with great writing. Excellent port, worth the $20. The Wii U port is marred with a sub-par framerate, often dropping below 30fps. Try the e-shop demo and see if you don't mind it.
Gamepad, Pro Controller, Wiimote + Nunchuk
Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition
Puzzle Platformer
Port of the 3DS game, a great puzzle platformer with timed levels which will have you trying to beat your best time by miliseconds. Wii U version has Hyper Mode levels which are just bounus levels more difficult than the first 16 levels, a new gun after you finish the game, and has enhanced visuals so you can see more of the Hooligan Sisters' lewd curves.
Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro
Nano Assault Neo
Twin Stick Shmup
Beautiful twin stick shooter, has 4 levels which each have 4 sub-levels, game gets extremely difficult, go for the high scores. Has multiplayer co-op.
Gamepad, Pro Controller or Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro for Co-op
Puddle
Physics/Puzzle
Tilt the Gamepad left and right to get the liquid to the end, kinda like a mix between Mercury and LocoRoco except there's a bunch of different liquids with different properties.
Gamepad
Trine 2: Director's Cut
Adventure/Puzzle/2D Platformer
Amazing puzzle platformer with a nice traditional medieval fantasy story ported from PC, with Goblin Menace expansion pack included and an extra level called "Dwarven Caverns". Switch between 3 characters who each have different abilities to continue forward.
Gamepad, Pro Controller
Virtual Console
Note that the availability of these games will be different depending on your country. You can upgrade games you bought on the Wii for a fee to use them with Off-TV Play on the Gamepad. Typically, most will support the Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller/Classic Controller Pro, and Wiimote. Otherwise, most apply as they normally do on the Wii. For NA, check availability HERE, EU checks HERE, and JP checks HERE.
