While many of us spend plenty of our spare time enjoying Nintendo games and systems, there are reasonable odds that we keep our favourite franchises in mind a lot of the time. Phones, tablets, PCs and laptops - certainly in Nintendo Life HQ - often have some Ninty artwork adorning the screen, so a fresh batch of lovely wallpapers are always welcome.
NeoGaf user Oni Link 666 has delivered just that, with a host of 1920x1080 images that give HD versions of loading screens, cut-scene moments and general artwork from Wii U games. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is prominent, naturally, though there are also some indie entries and other retail games.
Not all are absolute winners, but a variety of them certainly are; we've posted some of our favourites above and below, while we recommend hitting up the original post for individual links to the full resolution originals (those above and below are a more modest resolution).
Are you planning to add any of these as your wallpaper?

None of them were really good aside from Smash.
Wow it's like you guys knew I just got my laptop back from Geek Squad a few minutes ago! I'll go ahead and help myself to that Megaman one.
Yoink
I'm one of those people who mostly just adds wallpapers if they have my favourite character on it as well. Sadly, none of these do. XD
Wii U Wallpapers
So, anybody else read that as Wii U was finally getting themes? I just changed my PS3 wallpaper/theme to Diggs Nightcrawler so it was on my mind.
I dig the Shovel Knight one! Grabbed! Thank you for posting these.
Not bad, thanks!
@rjejr yeah I thought that! the wii u really needs some home screen love, themes would be brilliant but I'd settle for some colour!!
Aw, I was hoping for something Xenoblade related, since that's my favorite game. The Duck Hunt and Pikachu ones are tempting, though!
...But I love my anime wallpapers. owo
@VIIIAxel
Your wish is granted.

Samus and W101 are great. Thanks!
I like the Samus one.
If it was Wii U, then yeah.
If it was Wii U, then yeah.
I'd love a Android friendly version. I'll nab one of these next time I use my laptop. Good looking out!
Darn. I was hoping they added wallpapers to the WiiU menu screens.
too bad the Rosalina one is not flattering at all
@Maelstrom 10/10 wallpapers dude. snags the first one
Love that Rosalina one!! Just grabbed it for my fiancée.
@rjejr yup! I read that exactly... That would have been cool. one image for the TV, another for your Gamepad (mix and match would be cool also). Alas I raised my own hopes, and they were dashed quite expertly.
@Maelstrom Thanks! Definitely going to go with the first one.
These are cool, but a couple of problems.
1. My tablet can pull up the full picture when I click the images on this article (got the Hyrule Warriors one), but not when I go to the original site (it just blows up the thumbnails to ugly proportions).
2. As for the HW screen, while it'd fit perfectly & beautifully as is, my tablet won't let me set it as my wallpaper without cropping it (which zooms in to a particular part, making it more blurry).
Any ideas/solutions?
Samus one is blurry I really want one of her like that but its too blurry
@FritzFrapp Aw, that's very nice! I'll use these! Thanks a bunch~!
You're welcome.
(I've been using this one for ages, but once I saw that Duck Hunt wallpaper, I had to swap it out.)
