While they may be published by Nintendo, I don't think of Bayonetta 2 or LEGO City Undercover as "Nintendo games" as they're third party developed and aren't Nintendo IPs.

They may be exclusive to Nintendo hardware and perhaps considerably influenced by Nintendo's supervision, but to me they're very much the work of Platinum/TT Games/etc first and foremost.

ME3 and REvelations HD are worth.

Rayman Legends and Bayo 2 were definitely worth it.

I can certainly think of some games, they arent that many though.

There's no problem enjoying Nintendo games, but I particulary found those third-party games of them more enticing than their first-party offering in the case of WiiU.

I really loved these Nindie games:
Steamworld Dig
Bit.trip Runner 2
Guacamelee
Fast Racing Neo
Nano Assault Neo
Swords and Soldiers II
Runbow
EDGE

... they're all games I feel much better about buying than most AA and AAA games anyway. I have enjoyed several other of the games you mentioned.

I did really enjoy Assassin's Creed IV a great deal on the WiiU. It has the worst framerate of versions of ACIV - but nothing no less tenable than other AC games on other consoles. However, having a complete minimap available to you on the GamePad is a completionist's dream. I think it actually does this feature better than Zelda, Xenoblade, and the Arkham games.

It's a real shame than Need for Speed: Most Wanted wasn't a launch title for the system. It has substantially better graphics than 360/PS3 counterparts and compelling use of the gamepad for maps and the co-driver mode. The motion controls available for this game were really fantastic too - better than Mario Kart IMO.

I haven't yet gotten into Darksiders 2. I hope that along with Darksiders 1 will help scratch my Zelda itch for the rest of 2016

Why release a full trilogy in the Wii U if one game fails? Had Mass Effect 3 done well, you would've seen it. With people like you constantly hoping for third parties to fail, eventually Nintendo will just stop producing consoles. Sales have become abysmal, and losses are mounting. As much as people don't want to admit it, third parties are important for the success of a console.

Warriors Orochi, Wonderful 101, COD: BO2, Assassins Creed III, the games you listed, Deus EX, Trine, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and a few others added value to the console but were not system selling games.

I liked the thrid party titles I purchased on Wii U but I most definitely did not buy Wii U for third party titles.

A game published by a company and a game developed by a company are not the same thing. I know you know this. You are just trying to argue. But still, a game that is published by Nintendo is not necessarily a title developed by Nintendo. If a game is developed by a noteablethird party, then it can be said it is a third party title even though Nintendo published it.

Also, if you can call the Tokoyo Mirage game, which you noted is co-owned by Nintendo, a Nintendo title, then others can call it an Atlus title since it is co-owned by Atlus; especially since it was developed by Atlus and not Nintendo.

Third party games on the Wii U were worthless since they usually either ran worse than on 360 or PS3, or lacked features or lacked DLC. Not to mention that even if the game was a good port, you wouldn't buy a Wii U when you could buy the game on 360 or PS3. That's the reason third party games on Wii U bombed. Had the Wii U had better specs or some decent gimmick, it would have been a different story.
The only third party games I have on Wii U are: Tekken Tag 2, Zombi U and Bayonetta 2 (if that counts). I only got Tekken because it was dirt cheap and had all DLC included, and I got Zombi U for cheap as well (I bought it this year).
