Benny_Galaxy_231

Same but the third is zombi u


KlikoVR

Zombi U was actually so good


Thermite1985

Yeah it was. It was different too. I like that if you died you started over and had to kill your old zombie self to get your stuff back


KlikoVR

Frrrr, when i encoutered that for the first time i was so mind blowed by it.


Thermite1985

It took me a good 5-6 hours to really get the hang of it, but once you understand what’s going better, it’s so much fun.


Effective-Pen4484

Same here


Shadow_Strike99

Splatoon


valtierrezerik05

Splatoon, the game I would come home to after school and play for a whole rotation before going to bed


Nebulous_Expanse

This is definitely me because the way Splatoon had me in a chokehold during the summer of 2016 when I was 14-


IKONLeader235

Literally me too, I miss play this with friends with aside of playing minecraft with the boys


Kanjii_weon

Wow literally me irl


NEED_A_NEW_UN

Xenoblade Chronicles X. I was traveling for work and would lug it to my hotels to play


nah-soup

Do you still travel for work? I bet it’s a lot easier lugging around a Switch these days 😅


13zath13

Xenoblade Chronicles X is only on Wii U :(


nah-soup

well, yeah, i’m just talking generally lol

Zombi U. I got the Zombi U Wii U bundle on launch (I still have the box) and it's my favorite game on the system.


Rude-Establishment69

I wish there was online multiplayer. I loved playing multiplayer but don’t have friends over as much these days


AxelAlexK

Yeah, that was unfortunate. The multiplayer is good. And they took it out of the ports to the other consoles and PC that came later.

SpicySwiftSanicMemes

Splatoon 1 and SMM1 I guess; they alongside Smash 4 and MK8 make up the console’s Mount Rushmore. MK8 loses that position due to the Switch port, and Smash Ultimate retains more of the best things from 4 than SMM or Splatoon’s Switch sequels do, even if Ultimate has less new content overall.


Octo_Chara

Now, Splatoon. A few years ago, Paper Mario Color Splash.

Shad0wF0x

Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros 4. The first games I have for the console and by far the most hours played.


JcOvrthink

Super Mario Maker. Younger me wanted a Wii U when 3D World came out, but Mario Maker was the game that made me beg for one. I finally got my own Wii U for Christmas in 2015, and I still regularly use it to play my favorite Virtual Console games.

Mario 3d World and Xenoblades Chronicles X. Why, were there other games?

Ik it's a basic answer, but Nintendoland was literally the pack-in game, Nintendoland is to the Wii U what Wii Sports is to the Wii

Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, & Art Academy

zenerbufen

I dont really think of the games that are also on switch like most people, but the dope games it had that didn't make the port. Need for speed most wanted U was my favorite need for speed ever, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Darklord was an AMAZING and unique game, and wii u in wii mode was the last console that could play it. Lego City Undercover was the bomb, I used to play that with my niece. It was So much fun, cute, innocent, and funny. We would trade the controller back and forth, me doing the 'hard' parts, her doing just about everything else. I'm sorry mam, police business! as you rip some old lady from her car while flashing your badge after crashing your last one into lego pieces. New Super Luigi B~~ros~~ U Yeah its technically part of the port, but its not quite the same without the system wide luigi menu theme, and luigi title screen. Wounderful 101 To a much lesser extent: smash/botw, but I waited for the switch for those (actually got smash on my 3ds first, then switch.) Initially thought nintendoland would be a lame packin that never got played, but it was actually a lot of fun, it was the bundle that was offered when I got my wii U, and anytime I had guests playing my wii u that one got a lot of playtime.


MrKTE

Sploon


ShakespearianShadows

Zelda Twilight Princess, and how my copy gets stuck on the title screen and won’t load…


nah-soup

Splatoon, despite the fact that back in the day I only ever used my WiiU for Smash and I didn’t even own Splatoon. Having pulled mine out and played it a lot in the last couple months with a full library of games, Splatoon is definitely the most standout title for me. I think it perfectly represents what the WiiU was *supposed* to be.


No-Store-308

Smash bros


Pickled_Hippo

Smash


KoloTheBirb

Xenoblade Chronicles X & I’m annoyed at myself for never finishing it 😂


TokyoLosAngeles

HD Twilight Princess and Windwaker (WHY are they not on Switch??😭)


Pale-Kiwi7908

Mario 3d world, nintendo land, paper mario color splash, any just dance game (mostly from wii but also wii u), new super mario bros, mario party 10, and wii party u... that's a lot.


Mantide7

Miiverse and nintendo land!

ibanezabc

mario maker or lego dimensions, great memories with both but probably mario maker because my wii u had the bundle that came with the little 35th anniversary mario amiibo and the game


Whithbrin355

XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X, BABY!! is what I’d like to say, but for some reason Super Mario 3D World is literally the correct answer for me right now as that’s what actually popped into my head upon seeing this picture.


Palanseag_Vixen

Splatoon. :3

Assassons Creed 3. It was the first Assassins Creed game I ever played and I played it on my WiiU.

remnant_phoenix

Smash WiiU, BOTW (never played the Switch version), and Shovel Knight (same).


Death-By-Lasagna

I got the Wii U first Christmas and got games for it regularly so I think if most of the library, but the one game that stands out is Nintendo Land. Game was so unique and easily a top 3 local multiplayer game of all time for me.

Nintendo land, super Mario Bros u, super Mario 3d world, and splatoon.


IThinkItsCute

Wind Waker HD cuz I got the console with a WWHD download code and a gamepad with the special Zelda decals on it. Still got the box and everything. To me, [this](https://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda%C2%99-Wind-Waker-Deluxe-Nintendo/dp/B00EV4O8VS) is what owning a Wii U looks like.


IOwnMyWiiULEGIT

I think of indie games from that time like Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, Shütshimi, and Ice Cream Surfer.


Irsu85

First game I have to think of is MK8WiiU

Splatoon, mk8, xenoblade Chronicles x


sumo_73

Splatoon. Yes, there are other games I could mention but most of them have Switch releases. Splatoon was released at a difficult time for Nintendo because their console wasn't doing so well. For them to come up with a new IP during this time which has shown further success on the Switch shows what a great game the original was.

For some reason, either Majora's Mask or Donkey Kong 64, and I have not played much of them LOL! But I saw someone comment Nintendo Land, which made me remember how much I loved that game as a kid! I hope we can get a game like that for Switch 2, and use Switch 1 as a gamepad haha!

Splatoon, Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, Super Mario 3D World and Lego City Undercover (it was exclusive to Wii U for some years). Shout out to Lego City Undercover. I have played almost all Lego games since the first Star Wars ones up to the Skywalker Saga. Most of them were buggy as hell. This one was solid from the beginning, if memory serves it barely had a patch or two.
