10 Released (And Upcoming) Games You Should Buy For The Wii U

WC - The Wii U has had a rocky start since the beginning of 2013 following its initial release in November of the previous year. However, since launch, there have been quite a few high quality games released for it that have sort of gone under the radar.

A lot of gamers have written off the Wii U as a viable platform. But as they have done so, they have robbed themselves of some of the best experiences this side of gaming nirvana. For every knock they wage against it, there is an area of praise that can be levied on it as well.

I don't know, is your statement trying to troll? :P

Good list, although I don't necessarily agree with Tekken (not a huge fan of the series) and I am a little unsure about Hyrule Warriors (not a huge DW fan). All those games listed (that have been released) are fantastic to play on the Wii U.

Watch Dogs obviously won't have the graphical grunt of say the PS4, but the Gamepad makes it a very great way to interact with the game. It will be interesting to see if Smartglass and the PS4 companion app work in the same way.

I am torn between getting it on my PS4 or Wii U. I want to see more of the Wii U version in action before I decide.

I was planning on getting the Wii U version myself because I think the hacking mechanic could lend itself very nicely to the gamepad.

Good list, but... no mention of Donkey Kong and Mario Kart? Pikmin 3? Mario 3D World? Zelda Wind Waker HD?

Why Dark Souls 2 Deserves a Second Chance in 2025

As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.

Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.

And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.

I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.

Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.

Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.

PrimeVinister25d ago

Completely fair. I cannot disagree either, mate.

MrWood25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.

jznrpg25d ago

It’s not a bad game it’s just not as good as the others

Shadow Man25d ago

The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7728d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
