Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I never expected to enjoy the Wii U this much

So I have bought a 3DS and a Wii U some weeks ago. First thing I did was play some Mario Kart and of course play through the 3DS Zelda.

Then I downloaded the GC Zelda as the free game and started shopping a bit for cheap games.

Finally, I started playing them and have to say, I am very impressed with what the Wii U offers me. The graphics are very nice and at a level that I would say is fine for some more years. But what really stood out was the games in variety and style. So far I played:

  • Mario Kart 8 (very fine kart racing, better than the Wii version)
  • Zelda Wind Waker HD (Looks good for such an old game)
  • Injustice (didnt enjoy a fighting game this much since Killer Instinct, and the story mode is great)
  • Trine 2 (gorgeous visuals, this is how 2D side scrollers should look)
  • Child of Light (pure magic, fun RPG, just overall great game)
  • I still have to play Batman Arkham City

I spent less than 40 Euro on all these games (MK8 came with the system "for free" and so didi Zelda) and they have so far been a great enjoyment, all of them.

I have started to play much more again since getting the Wii U and will continue to do so. The system is really great.

I highly recommend Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Sounds like it would be right up your alley, considering it's a gorgeous sidescrolling platformer.

It's not too pricey, either, and excellent fun.

I have the Wii game and it was fun, but I never got that far (maybe map 3). So I want to finish that before getting the next one.

I am thinking about Tekken, Deus Ex and Dark Siders II. Those seem interesting.

Get Deus Ex. I'm playing through it at the moment and it's amazing. Reminds me of the original with the freedom of choice.

I see, fair enough. 

Don't have Tekken or Deus Ex, but as for Darksiders 2, it's pretty good. Very much like a cross between Zelda and Metroid Prime, with a bit of God of War sprinkled in. Huge world, and fantastic art direction. It's not as polished as the aforementioned games though, and has some minor glitches and technical troubles, but nothing game-breaking really, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The gameplay's very smooth and satisfying. 

 

Also, you can get it for very cheap nowadays I think.

Glad your enjoying the great console! Maybe try Rayman Legends? Also a beautiful platformer.

The other games maybe you should try are Bayonetta 2 or Pikmin.



Yay!
Glad to hear someone enjoying it!
I hope you'll enjoy Smash when it releases!
