Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Which Are the First Five Games a Person Should buy with/after Wii U Purchase?

Oh, tough call. It really depends a lot on your personal tastes. If I were the one buying though it would have be...

Bundle- Mario kart 8

1. Super Smash Bros WiiU
2. DKC Tropical Freeze
3. Splatoon
4. Super Mario 3D World
5. ZombiU [say what you will, but I loved this game and the multiplayer is a blast with a friend]

Other top choices: Rayman Legends, New Super Luigi U, Wind Waker HD (though I 100%ed the Gamecube version so often, I'm a bit burnt out on it), Arkham City (if you've never played it the WiiU version is very fun, though if you have played it on another system there isn't enough to justify buying it again), Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

Many games I didn't choose are still good, but I either haven't played them or found them to not match up with my tastes.



Around the Network

1. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
2. Super Mario 3D World
3. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
4. Bayonetta 1 & 2
5. Mario Kart 8



Mario Kart 8
Pikmin 3
Super Mario 3D World
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker



honestly man your list is super solid. your numbers 1 4 and 5 especially since those games might start becoming a little harder to come by.



you might want to get wonderful 101 before that becomes hard to find as well.

1doesnotsimply

I'd get:

Xenoblade Chronicles X (bundle)
Splatoon (replay value, incredibly fun and addictive, and keeps getting better with added content)
Mario Kart 8 (replay value, most beautiful game on Wii U, and fun as always with a HUGE track selection and possibly more DLC coming)
Super Smash Bros for Wii U (replay value, and duh)
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (seriously, this game is a clever, charming, and adorable masterpiece)
Super Mario 3D World OR The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

When Xeno releases is when you will get one??

Xenoblade X
Super Smash Bros
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
Bayonetta 2 (You also get Bayonetta 1 with that purchase)
Also, Wonderful 101 should be higher on your list. Amazing game that you can get for a pretty cheap price.

 

LEGO City Undercover is the best LEGO game ever made hands down. HIGHLY recommend.

Hyrule Warriors IS AMAZING for fanservice and is very fun if you love hack n slash. Definitely worth the purchase. Plus the DLC is so amazing.

Pikmin 3 I have yet to get, but I really want it.
