While Need for Speed Most Wanted U may have launched a few months later than it’s console counterparts, the extra polish and attention shown to the Wii U version of the game make it the definitive experience. Co-driver mode adds features that enhance the game in both single player and when playing with a friend or family member in the same room. The enhanced visuals are a treat on the eyes and serve as one of the few times that a developer has shown this much care to a Nintendo “port”. If all multiplatforms were given this level of polish and attention to detail, I think people would be inclined to try third-party games on Nintendo consoles. If you own a Wii U, you owe it to yourself to buy Need for Speed Most Wanted U, not just because it is currently the system’s definitive racing game, but because the level of polish on this game stands head-to-head with even Nintendo’s first-party offerings.
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.
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.

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.
