What's your pick, and why?

Tropical Freeze because I think it is just the most refined game out of them all. Also, it's visually stunning and there's quite a bit of replay value. Although Rayman Legends is a close runner up for me (I haven't played Shovel Knight yet, so there's that).

Edit: And it gave me quite a bit of trouble due to the difficulty, which I can really respect. Not many games go out of their way to provide a real challenge anymore.

Donkey Kong had fun and challenging level design, extra power-ups to diversify the gameplay, great graphics, tons of replay value and the controls were tight and responsive. I felt that it improved greatly on DKC Returns on the original Wii and is one of my favorite Wii U games.



Donkey Kong.

Great Music
Great Stage Designs
Difficult



DuckTales: Remastered. Even though it's a multiplat, it's still the best 2D Platformer on the Wii U.

New Super Mario Bros. U.

You can screw up your friends, badly. With the GamePad, of course.

Rayman Legends was the best 2D platformer I ever played.

The overall level design, music, art style, and tight gameplay make it one of the best IMO.

I think it would be between Rayman Legends, Shovel Knight and Mighty Switch Force! (even if this one is more a puzzle game). But I think I would stick with Ubisoft's title. It's very fun.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

New Super Mario Bros U. Highly underrated. Level design and physics are the best there is.
