Topic: Wii U Recommendations Thread

I highly recommend lego city for open world explorers

My personal must haves are:
Nintendo Land
Pikmin 3
Super Mario 3D World
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Rayman Legends
Trine 2
Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition or if you've already played that, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate.

Would you guys recommend Pikmin 3 even if I have never played 1or 2? What are the main differences between them?

Super Mario 3D World
Rayman Legends
Wonderful 101
Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
Pikmin 3
New Super Mario Bros U / Nintendo Land

The gameplay is pretty much the same across all games, but 3 is much more accessible and looks great in HD. You don't need to have played either of those other games to jump into Pikmin 3. One of the best games on the system IMO. Its so different then most of the usual FPS's and 2D side scrollers and an extremely polished title all around.

Though I wish Pikmin 1 & 2 would see a HD treatment eventually for the Wii U. I never got the titles when they rereleased on the wii with Wii remote support. Which works so much better then the old Gamecube controllers for these games.

Super Mario 3D world
Zelda windwaker hd
New super mario bros u/New super luigi u
Deus ex human revolution
Nintendoland
Assassin's creed IV
Sonic & allstars racing transformed

This is a good seven, tho I would replace Assassin's Creed with Rayman.

Also consider Tekkin if you like a fighter.

Thanks for the responses, pretty interesting list ladies and gentlemen.

If Wii U is the only system you have I suppose you can go for it. Assassin's creed looks a little better than PS3 graphically.

PS4 is likely the best version though.

Thanks! I haven't played Rayman yet but I will probably buy it eventually, it looks really good!
Maybe I'll give Tekken a chance also, I tried Injustice but never really got into it. It was a solid game though.

Where's Lego City and Pikmin?

So, whats the better buy: MHU3 WW or NfS?

Big question guys: Splinter Cell or Deus Ex? Which one would you recommend?

I haven't played Lego city and Pikmin is just not my kind of game. I am not saying it's a bad game because it's definitely not, it's just not for me!

Monster Hunter has gameplay and enought content to guarantee at least a 100 hours of gaming (if you get into it). If you happen to get into it and try the online mode, be ready to say goodbye to many things. That game is ADDICTING and WILL take a big amount of time out of your life if you allow it to.

Are you saying there is a game called Monster Hunter Ultimate 3 Wind Waker!?!?!?! Is that like Monster Hunter but will sailing and cel shaded graphics?

Deus Ex hands down. Better game and no bug/glitches

Nintendoland is $21.99 at my local Best Buy is it worth picking up for singleplayer alone?

I would recommend:
VC: Earthbound, Uncharted Waters, any Mario, Link to the Past, F-Zero, Super Metroid, Pilotwings
eShop: Runner 2, Castlestorm, Toki Tori, Trine 2
Retail: WWHD, Deus Ex, Black Ops 2, Nintendoland, Pikmin 3, Tekken tag,

I don't want to be a negative nelly but I wouldn't recommend Sonic Racing because MK8 is just around the corner and Sonic is a ridiculously overrated game. The game beats Mario Kart on many levels but fails on the most important ones like gameplay, stability and frame rate.

Is earthbound really that good even for people who has never played a game in that kind of genre? except the SNES Final Fantasy games.
