Given how well NoE has dealt with Wii U VC, I suspect that by the end of the Wii U's lifespan the only Nintendo home console you could argue is better than the Wii U is the GameCube.
. NES collection is exhausted
. SNES collection needs more Square games of which SMRPG and FFTA are hints towards this being done
. GBA collection needs more Square and SEGA games of which Sonic Advance 1 and 2 are in Japan, see above for Square (also needs SMA4 with e-reader levels which NA/Japan has)
. N64 and DS collection needs a fair amount of games though there's plenty of weeks this year to change that
. Any Wii game can be played on Wii U though most are currently physical only
. A good number of great Wii U games exist though more is needed for full satisfaction
Super Smash Bros is almost certainly the one I've got most value from, and that's saying something considering how much I've spent on it. Game, GC controller adapter, all the stage + character DLC, even forgetting the 3DS version I've spent close to £100 on the Wii U version alone. Totally worth it though in my eyes, few games are as well made, accessible and infinitely replayable as Smash.

This statement is so true and so logical that I doubt people on the internet will agree with you.
Watch Dogs and Devils Third for the brilliant, in depth and completely free multiplayer. Mario Kart is just plain fun and Mass Effect 3 is worth a shout for splatting aliens. That's all I play but it sure keeps me off the xbox.
Edit: I missed out Need for Speed Most Wanted, best version all formats.
A lot of the early 3DS and Wii U games still make sense. Tekken got a price drop, and Capcom always does sales. I basically won't buy anything, unless it's a sale or gift, anymore, because I already got a backlog in current generation.

Well, my answer is certainly going to be a unique one, as I haven't seen anyone mention any of the three games I'm about to. It's really surprising for one of them, as I figured more people would mention it.
Q) What do you think is the single best game for Wii U?
A) In my opinion, that would be Child of Light. I don't see anything suggesting we can't name a digital only title, so as the best game I've played on the Wii U (ignoring the backwards compatible Wii games), my answer is Child of Light.
It's gameplay is beloved turn based combat with lovely additions that keep you active in combat, and presents a world and story with unique charm, delightful characters, and beautiful graphics. The story rushes itself a bit at the end, but otherwise, my experience was absolutely phenomenal, and it still remains as the best video game I've played of this current generation.
Runner-ups for me would be Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (I'm surprised no one has mentioned this game yet); two games I had an absolutely amazing time with. Both games have fantastic gameplay, wonderful art, interesting settings, likeable characters, and make great usage of the Wii U gamepad (one in more major ways and the other in efficiently subtle ways).
I still haven't played the Bayonetta or Monster Hunter games yet. I still have tons left to do on the Wii U. Honestly, it doesn't feel right that it's ending. I refuse to accept it haha.
I wouldn't say any one game is the best, but LEGO City Undercover is certainly among the best
Lego City Undercover is indeed an amazing game. To think, I almost missed out on getting it, but due to not being able to find Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge I ended up purchasing Lego City Undercover instead. It is with a note of irony that once I did manage to get Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge at a later date, I definitely preferred Lego City Undercover over it.
Definitely Bayonetta 2. Quite possibly the greatest character action game ever made. The first game coming packed in with it is icing on the cake, especially since it's also an incredible game in its own right. And although Nintendo's decision to publish it still baffles me to this day (when you think of the best games on the system, you get a bunch of kid friendly things and then Bayonetta 2 out of nowhere. Nintendo hasn't really tried to foster the crowd that would like games like it, either, besides getting Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's Edge out), I am so happy it happened.
Smash 4 would definitely be the best multiplayer game on the system, in my eyes, especially since it supports 8 player local, which has basically made it the only game played in my college's dorms since its release.
EDIT: I think it's important to note that when Zelda: BotW comes out, all of these posts will be null and void. It's been a while since Nintendo has shown a game that's shaping up like that.
