If the Wii U gets some sort of main metroid game. Then its better than Wii, but i love Wii aswell, they are both awsome consoles

IMO, I think the Wii had a better 1st party line up because it had a great diversity of software from their heavy hitters to smaller hitters

The Wii U is already a lot better than the Wii's line-up of shovelware.

Only Wii games I liked:

- Metroid Prime 3: first game I bought on my Wii.
- Mario Kart Wii: not as good as DD though.
- Super Mario Galaxy: great game, but I never got the sequel because my anxiety disorder was hitting me in full force back then.
- Xenoblade Chronicles: probably the best Wii game, but I only got to play this because it's on eshop of the Wii U and it plays much better on the gamepad than on a HD tv.
- Twilight Princess: my first and one of my favorite Zelda games.

Games I like on my Wii U:

Mario Kart 8: better than Mario Kart Wii.
Super Mario 3D World
Yoshi's Woolly World
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: best 2D platformer ever.
Wind Waker HD: if TP counts, so does this! Never played this one before and it's great and gorgeous.
Splatoon: one of the best shooters I've ever played.
Captain Toad: my "least liked" liked game if that makes sense.
Batman: Arkham City
Pikmin 3: great game and I got it for free as well.

Upcoming games I will most likely like a lot:

- Zelda U
- Super Mario Maker
- Pokken Tournament
- Genei Ibun Roku #Fe
- Xenoblade Chronicles X
- Yooka-Laylee

You, i like you ;)

I feel having two real 3d mario, two real zelda and two real metroid games shuld give the edge to wii.

Well I didnt like the wii at all so have missed every wii game except the ones like wii play and wii sports they were awesome. So for me wii u - wii by default.

EDIT - but third party is obviously wii - wii u

The wii just has so many hidden gems that were overlooked. All the Wii us good games are out in the open, and had iterations on the wii.
So no, the wii u can never beat the wii imo

Serious question, can you name me some? because really the only gems I played were zelda games, mario galaxy games and the last story.

I don't have a Wiiu but to me it seems like the catalogue is far superior compared to its predecessor

Just to name a few that I have and can vouch for:

No more Heroes 1+2

MadWorld

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom

The House of the Dead: Overkill

Excite Trucks

Little King's Story

Rune Factory Frontier

Monster Hunter Tri

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Xenoblabe Cronicles

Mortal Kombat Armageddon (best version of the game imo)

Super Paper Mario

Wii by a lot but on internet Wii U will win because it's a Gamecube 2.



Platina on 05 September 2015

I like the Wii U games more than the Wii games overall, but there are still a lot of good Wii games
