If you want those Wii U games, you’ll have to spend at least $299.99 for the Basic system and then the cost of some games. The good news it that all of your old Wii games will still work on this new hardware. You can’t just go out and buy the Wii U’s interesting GamePad controller and have all of the functionality of the new system without buying a Wii U. This means that your Wii, if you have one, is now obsolete. The Wii U is entirely separate from the Wii.

Inventive levels and amazing power-ups make this sixth original 3D platformer in the Super Mario series a joy to play. Throw in the games amazing music sections and running from dragons and towering infernos becomes all the more eventful. However, the Wii U version is still the one worth playing over all others thanks to the fantastic integration of touchscreen controls that makes it a lot more immersive than the other versions of the game.

However Ubisoft delayed the Wii U version to release it for the PS3, Xbox 360, Vita and PC as well, and followed it up with a release on the PS4 and Xbox One. Rayman Legends was supposed to be a Wii U exclusive. You can also use the 3DS itself as a controller by using a $1 app on the Nintendo eShop, or without it if you also have the game on the 3DS. While Super Smash Bros is available on the 3DS as well, we prefer the Wii U version due to its long list of supported controllers, from the Wii U gamepad all the way to the now ancient GameCube controller. Each character has its own unique set of moves and there are a slew of levels to punch it out in. From stalwarts like Mario to more obscure ones like Ness from the EarthBound, there's a lot to choose from.

Smash Bros is what happens when the fine people at Nintendo decide to pit its classic characters against each other in a fighting game.

The production values are stunning to say the least.Ĭoupled with slick controls and downloadable content that's actually worth a purchase, you get a kart racing game that's going to be played till the end of days. Everything from the visuals to the sound do a great job of making the action come alive. Mario Kart 8 features gorgeous tracks ranging from the usual mix of castles and cityscapes, and interstellar classics like Rainbow Road. Here's a list of all the games that you absolutely need to play on Nintendo's newest - and arguably greatest - home console.Ī staple on every Nintendo console since the Super Nintendo, the Mario Kart series has gone from strength to strength. Not all of them use the much touted tablet-styled controller except as a smaller screen to play your game on, but these are still great games to have. While the Wii U hasn't been as big a success as its predecessor the Wii was, there are more than enough games to keep fans and newcomers interested.
