It’s no secret that Switch has a huge chunk of Wii U’s biggest titles such as Mario Kart 8, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World and many, many more … but there are a number of games that are still exclusive to Wii U. We didn’t just want to clarify old games though, those 13 are legally fantastic and we hope to see some of them come together with the likes of Bayonetta 2 in the series of ports to Switch.
These range from obvious options like Xenoblade Chronicles X to lesser known gems like Project Zero: Maiden of Blackwater. Wii U may not be Nintendo’s most popular device but that doesn’t detract from the quality of some of its games, several titles have survived a successful second life on the Switch (Mario Kart 8 status as the Switch’s best-selling game).
But we’re shutting out games that have largely been replaced with similar versions on Switch. These include Splatoon, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Mario Maker.
Have you played any of the games mentioned in this video and are there any other Wii U games you are still connected to?
