Game Over Online: "While the controls are technically inferior to the 360 and PS3 version due to the lack of analog buttons on any Wii U control method, they still work really well and don’t make the game hard to control – it just takes some time to get used to controlling a modern racer with purely digital buttons. Otherwise, the addition of all of the Gamepad features and the ultimate speed DLC pack on-disc at no charge, along with no online pass being needed (another nice trend for the system), helps make this a better pickup than its other console versions. While PC owners with a powerful enough rig to run it well might want to stick with that version, if you’ve got a console and loved Most Wanted, be sure to pick this up at some point. If you’ve never played it but wanted to, pick it up sooner, while those with other versions will probably want to wait for a price drop – especially since it appears unlikely that the newer DLC packs will be made available for this version."
In this special episode, Shawn Long of Nintendo Enthusiast takes a look at 5 Underrated Wii U games that he feels should be in every system owners collection.
In my opinion, the list of overrated WiiU games is far, far longer.
How funny. You always say you don't like Nintendo games in general, yet you come here and tell us that some of its games are overrated.
I know. You can always tell someone who doesn't own a Wii U by their nonsense comments about the games they've never tried.
Well you always hear Nintendo fans saying they have such great exclusives and point to metacritic as a way of proving their point. I've seen enough of Mario to know that every single game is massively overrated and the same with almost all other titles.
Then somebody provides a list of 'great' games that sounds like a kindergarten book listing which looks a little like;
Fluffy Fox's Furry Knitting: 98%
Little Ducko's Egg Collector: 93%
PickyWickyWoo: 89%
GaGaGooGoo Princess Country: 91%
Now I know that none of these are real titles, but none of them would look even slightly out of place on the WiiU game list.
Every Nintendo game I've ever played (admittedly not that many), has been overrated in my opinion, so it's easy to extrapolate that onto other titles.
I know a lot of people love Nintendo and everything they do, but they just leave me cold.
When a Nintendo title launches, most sites leave the review to the resident Ninty fan (there's always at least one), hence the overrated scores.
Just my opinion of course, but that's how I see it.
@Angeljuice
First, I don't generally care what a title is called if it is getting Metacritic scores in that range. Why do you care? Because you're afraid of appearing childish in your peer group.
You've admitted you haven't played many Nintendo games - so you're a troll. I already knew that too, from your comments.
I actually feel a bit sorry for you. You need to come here and troll, comment on things you've never even tried - all because you're immature and insecure. You'll eventually grow out of that.
I bet you dont have a wii u and you also had a bad day,and because of that you wanted others to waste their time replying to you...
You don't like Nintendo games, that's it.
But it's a bit ironic having you here and saying that Wii U games are overrated, because, again, you don't like Nintendo games in general, so isn't funny to you all this situation? Of course you should seem odd that people like Nintendo titles.
On the underrated side , I would add ZombiU. Loved the sound design and music,(and really, a zombie apocalypse would be rather "unbalanced", no? Lol..)
Also, I really enjoy 007 Legends, gamepad integration is very well done!
"Then somebody provides a list of 'great' games that sounds like a kindergarten book listing which looks a little like; "
Condescending much?
For any game that was trash on the WiiU, it got a low score. To your logic Sonic Boom should be an 8+/10. It's been blasted to below 5/10.
How insecure are you?
You're just mad because Fluffy Fox's Furry Knitting is much better than Bloody Gritty Pew Pew Pew.

Mike from mii-gamer:
Need for Speed: Most Wanted U is a superb game; one that is thoroughly addictive and superbly crafted. As it currently stand, Most Wanted U is the best racing game on the Wii U and an outright amazing game, not to the credit of the console, but to the talent of the developer, Criterion.
Wii U weekly deals and sales from eShop, Amazon, BestBuy, Frys, Gamefly, Newegg, Bullmoose and Cowboom.
well its cheaper on the wiiu, and uses the gamepad.
i have to get this for vita, Origins was awesome as well
Consumer beware the vita version doesn't have all the content the console version has.
@gamer42 Ubisoft said they're going to release a free DLC with the missing content.
Even if the vita version wasn't going to get patch it still a great version since its basically the same as consoles but with portability.
I would get it on Wii U, Technically it was an exclusive for the Wii U so thats the system that has the best version because of the gamepad.
The disagrees on the Wii U version being better are fanboys, and that's fine. All versions are great BUT the Wii U is better because of the gamepad. Common the entire game was initially designed with the gamepad in mind. Delustional fanboys. Why can't you just let a couple of games be better on Wii U.
So many throws to other versions of the game. I'm tired of seeing this. Can we have a Wii U game review, and stick to focusing on the Wii U?
I'm glad some other commenter on N4G let me know that this was half off on origin-- I probably wouldn't have picked it up at all, but I can't say no to a 50% discount at launch for a great game.
Here's a link for those interested (their other Wii U games are also half off, probably not worth the money though)

What I want to know is if you can put all the information that's on the screen on the gamepads screen like the mph, rev, map, position, etc leaving the tv screen with no information .
Waiting on a Xbox 360/PS3/Wii U comparison video
So true!
