Despite its commercial failure, the Wii U is home to many beloved games. Which do you think is the single best Wii U game, and what makes it better than all the rest in your opinion?

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

EDIT: Didnt even think about BOTW. Oh well...

Does BotW count?
Because, if so. That sweeps it. Truly immersive and amazing Zelda, one of my favorite games all time.

If not, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.
It improved on every aspect of DKC Returns, from the level design, bosses, music, controls, everything. The best platformer in the past 20 years imo.

BOTW counts.

Any game released on Wii U counts.

man this poll becomes so boring with BotW on here…is it not possible to just add “(excluding BotW)” on the title of the poll? I mean, this site literally voted BotW as the Greatest Game of All Time last December lol. It’s gonna completely sweep.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze! Remains my favorite 2D platformer to this day.

Windwaker HD of course. Perhaps twilight princess HD.

BOTW should of been illegal on the Wii U, 20 FPS? Fuck off. And that is only one issue, the game is a walking simulator with so much filler, the main issue in open world games. The only reason why those copy paste shrine do not count as filler is because Nintendo tied those ball thingys to them. Holy shit, I completed 73 and decided I cannot play anymore, it is the worst Zelda game I have ever played in my opinion.

Shit I forgot about Wind Waker as well. I should think more before posting in favorite game threads. lol

If you mean what is the highest quality game that can be played on the Wii U, that's easily botw.

If you mean what game would I most like to play on the Wii U in this, the year of our noodle god 2024, then that's Nintendoland. Simply because pretty much anything else worth playing can be played on another system, usually in a better form.

Super Mario 3D World. One of my favorite 3D Mario games.
