With the switch coming out and a possible price drop of the wii u I think Its time to pick one up. I know you really can't go wrong with any of the Mario games but what are some games you would recommend getting for my kids (6,9,14,17)?

I have to put in a huge recommendation for Mario Kart 8. For kids of that age especially, this game is a blast.

Well the Wii U's been discontinued so there is likely to be no official price drop. You'd probably need to buy one used to get one cheap enough to be worth it in 2017. But there are a lot good games on the Wii U, check the highest rated on metacritic but I personally recommend Splatoon and Mario Kart 8.

Mario Party 10 is a must. Great party game and for bringing family/friends together. (Unless they're extremely competitive)

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
NintendoLand
Mario Kart 8
Lego City Undercover (unless you getting for another system)
Super Mario 3D World
Yoshi Whooly World
Splatoon
New Super Mario Bros U/Luigi

Those are some good games for the 6, 9 and 14 year old.

Super Mario Maker
Super Smash Bros
Poken Tournament
Bayonetta 2
Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE
Pikmin 3
Zelda TP HD
Zelda WW HD
Hyrule Warriors
Xenoblade X

Those are some good games for your 14, 19 year old to enjoy as well as the prior games. These are probably though more advanced than a 4 and 9 year old could handle.

Pick from those lists what games you think they may like, or types of games they like.
