The List
Disc-Based
Title | Genre | Description | Boxart | Controller Support |
---|---|---|---|---|
Game & Wario | Minigames | A WarioWare game that utilizes the Gamepad. With Minigames. Nintendo got lazy as fuck here and just took some of there old tech demos and put some Wario paint on it. (No, seriously, look it up) Some are enjoyable, some are annoying, some are SCARY AS FUCK. | Gamepad | |
Lego City Undercover | Action/Collect-a-thon | A semi-open world family-friendly GTA. Since it's a Lego game, expect lots of funny moments, most of the humor drawing from pop culture and '70s cop flicks. Lots of stuff to find and collect. Suffers from ridiculous load times and floaty driving controls. | Gamepad | |
Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate | RPG/Hack n Slash | Monster Hunter Tri remake, but with so much more fucking content and improved visuals. Can play with 3DS locally, and other Wii U players online. New update just added Off-TV Play and cross-region play. | Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller | |
Need for Speed: Most Wanted U | Racing | A port of the PC version of the game. Minor graphical and gameplay updates, but the main draw of this version is that it comes pre-packed with the Ultimate Speed Pack DLC. Co-Driver mode is also introduced, allowing the player to make minor adjustments to the environment and their car on the fly using the Gamepad. | Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk | |
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
|
Gamepad, Wiimote, Pro Controller | |
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. Team Ninja did their best to listen to and address the numerous issues from the original game by removing enemies begging for their lives; adding more weapons, moves, and playable characters; bringing back the Karma system for upgrades; and significantly upping the game's uncharacteristically easy difficulty level. Unfortunately didn't receive the minor upgrades the later PS3/360 releases got, but is still good. 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 | |
Pikmin 3 | RTS/Adventure |
Third in the series of miyamoto's amazingly fun and charming strategy games. This one has you in a different setting and you control 3 captains from the planet Koppai whose food has run out and you are sent out to retrieve more. It has a variable limit which can last as long as you keep finding food (unlike the fixed limit in Pikmin 1), but has no caves. It also looks fantastic, the fruit looks real enough to eat! |

Resident Evil: Revelations | Third Person Survival Horror | Resident Evil returns to its survival horror roots in a HD port of the 3DS version. Includes improved graphics and good Gamepad features. Better than its PS3/360 counterparts, but still lacking a little in the graphics which is to be expected. | Gamepad, Pro Controller | |
Rayman Legends | 2D Platformer |
Originally announced as a Wii U exclusive, but then delayed to be released multiplatform due to Microsoft's shitty Third-Party policies (Which caused massive amounts of rage in the process) Rayman Legends features OVER 100 FUCKING LEVELS! This game is packed full of content, and it's hard as shit too. The game plays similar to Origins, but has a new feature: Murphy. In the Wii U and PS Vita versions of the game, you actually control Murphy to help solve puzzles, help the characters move through the levels, etc. In the other versions, Murphy was just assigned to a button. (YAWN) With multiple levels, characters, and costumes, Rayman will keep you coming back for more. Available for Wii U, PS Vita, PC, PS3 and 360. |

Scribblenauts Unlimited | 2D 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 better for you pirates. UK version has vanished. | Gamepad, Wiimote for multiplayer | |
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed | Racing | Sequel to Sega's fantastic racer, this time with added Planes and Hovercraft, so kinda like Diddy Kong Racing if you could switch vehicles midrace. Wii U version has Banana Heist and Ninja Tag minigames exclusively. (To switch to Gamepad mode just swipe down on the touchscreen, completely undocumented in the manuals or anything.) | Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wiimote, Wiimote + Nunchuk | |
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition | 3D Fighter | 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. Has all previously-released PS3/360 DLC on disc plus two Wii U-exclusive modes including Tekken Ball. | Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller, Wiimote + Nunchuk | |
The Wonderful 101 | Action-Adventure/Hack n' Slash | Latest action game from Hideki Kamiya. You control a group of superheroes on a mission to stop alien invaders. Your characters can form any weapon or tool they need using themselves as material. Gameplay can be described as Okami+Bayonetta. As expected from Platinum Games, boss battles are absolutely CUHRAAAAAZY. | Gamepad, Pro Controller, Classic Controller | |
ZombiU | First Person Survival Horror | A (sort of) reboot of the 1986 PC game Zombi. Fight zombies. Trying to revive the Survival Horror genre with classic gameplay. Perhaps not an instant classic, but better than Ubisoft's Wii launch title, Red Steel. | Gamepad, Pro Controller for Multiplayer |
