Topic: Wii U Recommendations Thread

Tough choices, but, please do yourself a favor and purchase The Last of Us right now and play it. One of the most amazing games I've played in my lifetime.

lol, I totally will. Perhaps I'll pick it up this summer. I was going to get Borderlands Collection in March, but do you think I should get TLOU instead? I'm already getting Twilight Princess, but do you think I should get TLOU over Borderlands? Also, I can't afford to pay for PS plus, so it will be singleplayer only for me. There's just too many games coming out for me to lay down another 50 bucks on a membership.

So Monday night I am planning a guys night in with some of my coworkers which they will come over to my place and play some games and hang out. Thing is I need some suggestions for 4 player or more multiplayer games for the Wii U. It doesn't matter if they are retail, eShop or VC games I am just drawing a blank right now.

So far I have

New Super Mario U
Chronicles of Mystara
TNT Racers
Nintendo Land
Mario Kart 8

Any other suggestions would be very helpful and I am looking for games that 4 players can play at the same time although taking turns will be taken under consideration.

So you have 4 controllers? Smash Bros is always a good choice. Also you can dl this for free and have a good time with it try Tank Tank Tank. You will get yo play 4 players for free although limited battle fields. It's a nice game for 4 players.

Oh and Mario 3d World is also very good and fun!

Hey guys, I have some coins to spend on my Club Nintendo Account. It seems the games listed will be available to me until June something. What I was wondering is, would it be a good move to see what is available for reaching Elite Status first? Do you think they will put games on that list that are on the current one?

I guess I don't know how it works. The lists I can find show a bunch of games each year and I assume you pick one?
They are doing elite for 2015 I hope? I have already reached it. lol

Anyways, I got my eyes on a bunch of stuff on the current list but if its wise to wait until I see the elite rewards I will do so.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Yep, I get that part. What I am wondering is if I can save the points to see what is available on the elite list, so I can then make better choices on the regular list. For instance, if for sake of argument, Super Metroid was on the elite list, but I already bought it now and I could have bought the original Metroid which is not on the elite list. If I knew what was on both, I could make better choices. I am wondering if it is feasible to wait and see what is on the elite list before making my choices now.

Hi, hello! I nabbed myself a Wii U bundle last weekend and have been having a great time with Hyrule Warriors, MK8, and Smash. A former coworker told me a year ago that he sold his Wii U two weeks after he got it because it wasn't fun to play by yourself. Although that worry was on my mind, I still wanted the Wii U. So with my tax refund sitting happy in my bank and a broken 3DS joystick later, I finally got one for myself! However, my friends don't play video games and/or live too far and my siblings don't have time these days so I want games that I can play mostly by myself. Any games you'd suggest that's fun for solo players? I like Adventure, Action, and RPGs are fine too. Not too fond of horror or FPS. Thanks for your help!

Well you're in luck because Nintendo is mostly single player focused anyways.

Here's a good list of games to start with.

Donkey Kong Country Returns Tropical Freeze
Pikmin 3
The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
Super Mario 3d World
Rayman Legends
Wonderful 101
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Lego City Undercover
Captian Toads Treasure Tracker
And a couple eshop must are
Shovel Knight
Steamworld Dig

@spoony_tech Sweet!! Thanks for the list! I'll definitely be looking into these titles

Here are some more games adding to that list. Your mileage may vary on these games since some of them are on other platforms, but if you have never played them before, they are worth checking out and you can get many of them for cheap nowadays.

Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition

Batman Arkham Origins

Assassin's Creed III

Assassin's Creed IV

Injustice: Gods Among Us(this is a fighting game, but it has a story mode as well as a challenge mode)

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

Bayonetta 2

Darksiders II

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut(This is played from a First-Person perspective, but has RPG elements and is a single-player game)

Splinter Cell: Blacklist

New Super Mario Bros U(this one is harder then many of the recent ones and it pretty good)

Hope my list also helps!

How's Kirby and The Rainbow curse? Also is it fairly easy? Lately ive been wanting to just sit back relax and enjoy a game.

Trying a new approach to link your affiliate IDs?

Its okay. I personally don't think Wii U was the right platform for the game.

OK thanks

Trying to decide between Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD or Pikmin 3. I plan on buying both eventually but I can only choose one now. Any thoughts?

Have you played Wind Waker before?

Both are great games. I'd personally go with Pikmin 3, especially if you've already played The Wind Waker on the Gamecube.

I agree with this, however Wind Waker to me is a must play by any Zelda fan. It's my favorite In the series!

Pikmin 3 is a superb little RTS game with some amazingly photorealistic environments and challenging boss battles. Also, a ton of stuff to do outside of the main campaign.

Wind Waker HD is... a prettier version of Wind Waker with great GamePad controls for sorting through your inventory and stuff. It's my favorite Wii U game, but then again, I'd never played the original before.

As others have said, if you've played the original WW, go with Pikmin 3. If you're never played WW, go with WWHD.

Unless you're talking about physical copies of the games and Pikmin 3 is a fair price. Last time I looked the disc version of Pikmin 3 was fetching high prices. Get that first if you've found a good deal on it.
