My favorite games are Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World by a large margin. Both of them are the best in their respective series and are among the top 10 of my favorite games of all time. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is merely a small improvement over Brawl, and is put to shame by the series' two original entries.
My most anticipated title would be The Legend of Zelda, considering how F-Zero was pretty much confirmed not to appear this generation. Given the many errors present in Skyward Sword (almost completely linear, no overworld worth mentioning, few memorable tracks (the only one that I remember is the one that played versus Girahim), tedious and inaccurate Wii remote gameplay, Fi, horrendous character models and cringeworthy sound effects) and the sales and reputation that the game garnered as a result, I fully expect Nintendo to learn from their mistakes.
Zelda Wii U famously has a massive overworld which sets the tone for the whole game in my view. Finally deciding to carry on the legacy of Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess who all sought to push the invisible walls present in video games. Skyward Sword was a notable move in the wrong direction, which was made painfully obvious by the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. A fact noted by Aonuma himself, as he admitted to being inspired by the game when developing Zelda Wii U.
My favorite things about the hardware:
- The ability to play games without turning on the TV, or waiting for the TV to be unoccupied.
- The ability to hide your screen during local multiplayer.
- The ability to move your HUD info away from the TV screen.
- The immediate access to maps and inventory management without having to pause the game.
- The ability to access every game's online multiplayer modes without having to pay more money in addition to the game's full price.
- The ability to play Nintendo games.
