Topic: Best game on Wii U?

not released yet i`ll tell you in march 2017

At the moment I would say

1. Splatoon
2. DK Tropical Freeze
3. Fast Racing Neo

I'm surprised to see the lack of The Wind Waker HD on most lists, or is it disqualified because it's a remake?

1) The Wind Waker HD
2) Splatoon
3) Super Smash Bros for Wii U
4) Mario Kart 8
5) Xenoblade X

@Platina If you've ever played the original, then it doesn't really deserve the title of 'Best Game' on the Wii U. It's all old gameplay that we've seen before with updated graphics and a few other minor new features. However, even I played the HD remake before playing the original, and while it's obvious which I preferred, it didn't wow me like games such as Xenoblade Chronicles X and Super Mario Maker have done.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Splatoon
Mario Maker
Bayonetta 2

Yeah pretty much. It'd be in my top 5 games for this console just as it is but I think most of that credit needs to go to the gamecube original rather than this version. This is a great version though. One of my favourite remasters!

To me, the single best game on the system is Tokyo mirage sessions.

@gcunit, not sure what to respond, but TMS is a very very enjoyable game. Story could been a tad better but its good enough. Fun gameplay, cool characters, great music, nice cutscenes.

@tobibra No response required, but what you've provided is more than acceptable

I was just surprised to see it get somebody's No.1 - you do know it's not Mario Kart 8, don't you?

I haven't got the game. I'd love to have it, but my backlog and budget say otherwise, so it's one of the few games I've resisted... so far.

Earlier in this thread I said Splatoon. But now that I've finally played XCX... it's now a tie for what I think is the best Wii U game. XD

The best game I played on my Wii U so far is Earthbound. Say fuzzy pickles.

What do you mean, SNES games don't count? 'kay, then, I choose Splatoon.

Wind Waker is in my top Gamecube list, not top Wii U. that goes to Mario Kart 8, although it should've been Xenoblade Chronicles X

@gcunit Of course I know its not MK8, I own that game too
Its a great game for sure, and my favorite Mario Kart, but racing is not one of my favorite genres, and I prefer F-zero over Mario Kart
I can relate with your backlog, I feel like that too. Several games yet to buy, and a few games I barely started...

But to go on-topic, in addition to TMS, I also really like Star Fox Zero despite its unpopularity, Captain Toad, Hyrule Warriors and Super Mario 3D world.

Platforming perfection. Everything is right, the physics, the weight of DK, the difficulty, the level design and mechanics, and an awesome OST by David Wise. Won't get much better than that.
