Forums - Nintendo - Planning on buying a WiiU

Ok, so I gave up on the idea of ever owning an Xbox 360.

So I'm reprofiling to the Wii U for 2014, after I grab a PS4. Can I get some recommendations of games to be on the look out for? And features...



Around the Network

I don't have a Wii U, but I recommend checking out the GamrConnect Wii U Recommendation Thread if you have not already done so.



Games already out that I would recommend would be:

Wonderful 101
Wind Waker HD
Super Mario 3D World
Pikmin 3

Games to look for in 2014:
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
X
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

Also, indie games on the eshop and plenty of virtual console titles as well



I have a Wii U and a PS4. Unless there is a specific PS4 game you want to play right now, I would recommend that you buy the Wii U first. I know that eventually there will be many games I will want to play on my PS4, but right now I feel I should have waited a few more months before buying it.

For the Wii U games recommendations: what kinds of games do you like?



Is the Wii U Backwards compatible with the Wii games? Cuz I would like to play Mario Galaxy and the Donkey Kong game that came out a while back.

Yeah, too lazy to do my research atm. I'm at work XD.

Yes it is, and comes with a sensor bar also.



Mario Galaxy and Mario 3D World, obviously. Xenoblade is the best RPG of the last decade. WWHD is outstanding. I play COD on my Wii U to avoid annual fees.



My god man, you haven't played any Wii games either?? You have a shit load of games to catch up on!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

With like 99.9% of all Wii games (I can only think of like 1 Wii Ware game that won't do).

Just know if you transfer your data, it will wipe your Wii clean (minus GC saves I think).

 

Games to recommend:

NSMBU + NSLU

ZombiU

Trine 2: Director's Cut

Bit Runner 2 

Pikmin 3

Rayman Legends

Duck Tales Remastered

Wonderful 101

Wind Waker HD

Super Mario 3D World
