Even though the Wii U hosts some of Nintendo’s greatest games, the console sold poorly. Thi𝕴s partially had to do with Nintendo’s lineup; after all, the best games released long after the Wii U’s launch. Nintendo relied heavily on sequels and remakes, but many of those games weren’t different or 🐽innovative enough to attract players—including Nintendo fans.

The Wii U also suffered from poor, unclear advertisi🐎ng. Using “Wii” in its name and Wii Remotes for gameplay, the Wii U strangely functions more like an enhanced Wii than an independent console. Several games rely more on the GamePad than Wii Remotes, but the GamePad isn’t a very good controller. The touchscreen works well, but the other controls feel awkward beneath your fingers.

Nintendo included more🅠 DLC starting with the Wii U, particularly with amiibo. These figurinꦉes have mixed reception; in my opinion, their price doesn’t match their usefulness. Some Wii U games require amiibo, though, so you may find certain amiibo figurines worthwhile.

Despite its flaws, the Wii U offers a lot of great titles. Fortunately, Nintendo is devel🍸oping some of these games f๊or their most recent console, the Switch. Other games are currently exclusive to the Wii U. If you own the console, you absolutely need to play these games. Here are the 50 Wii U games published by Nintendo, ranked from worst to best so you know which to buy and which you should avoid at all costs.

50 ꦚ Star Fox Zeroꩲ

Thanks to Star Fox’s core shooting mechanics, fans expected the franchise to dominate the Wii—yet Star Fox never appeared on the Wii. Because of that (as well as the 10-year gap between Command and Zero), Star Fox Zero built an incredible amount of hype.

Sadly, that hype was misplaced. Apart from its beautiful graphics, Star Fox Zero disappoints players in every way. The GamePad’s gyroscopic motion controls are clunky. Zero introduc♍es poor mechanics like the Walker, weird camera angles, and unnecessary aiming on the GamePad🅠’s screen.

Nintendo delayed Star Fox Zero in response to negative feedback, yet they failed to improve the gameplay. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Nintendo mistakenly threw out the characters and storylines from previous Star Fox games, making Zero an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:awful reboot that ruins the franchise.

49 🍸 Mario Party 10

Nobody asked for a new Mario Party game, yet Nintendo nonetheless created Mario Party 10 and ruined everything we love about the series. The previous titles perfectly combined board game elements with mini-games. Mario Party 10, on the other hand, focuses solely on the mini-games. Every player moves together in a single cart, thus tur𝐆ning boards into linear tracks. Instead of strategically racing ahead of players, crushing them, or pursuing secret routes, you must fꦚollow whatever path other characters choose—and you can’t interact with those characters.

In addition to ruining the board games, Mario Party 10 includes terrible mini-games. Nintendo designs misbalanced mini-games where some players get an unfair advantage. Even the fair competitions are usually chaotic. Apart from the occasional well-designed mini-game, nothing in Mario Party 10 is fun to play.

48 𒈔Pokkén Tournament

A real-time version of Pokémon Stadium may sound amazing, but Pokkén Tournament skewers the fighting game genre. Most fighting games wisely stick to a 2D perspective, but Pokkén Tournament awkwardly switchesౠ between Duel Phase (2D) and Field Phase (3D). Field Phase ruins the game with its terrible camera. The camera works somewhat well during single-player mode because it stays behind your character; in multiplayer, you nev💙er know where the camera will go or which player will have the advantageous perspective.

Pokkén Tournament entirely takes place in circular arenas. These arenas nicely pay homage to Pokémon Stadium🌱, but they’re boring for a real-time fig๊hting game.

The battles themselves are somewhat fun, but too many delays and cinematics accompany your attacks. With smoother gameplay and more varied level design, Pokkén Tournament could have amazing.

47 Mario &a🍸mඣp; Sonic At The Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Every Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games title’s been worse and less original than the last, making Rio 2016 the wo൩rst of the bunch. Most of the Olympic mini-games come from previous games, and they feel just as bland as they did before. The new sports—football, rugby, and boxing—are even less interesting thanks to underdeveloped gameplay and little variation between character stats.

Rio 2016 boasts amazing graphics, but the settings barely make use of those graphics. Every mini-game takes place in drab stadiums except Duel Football and Archery, which offer beautiful views of the city. Nintendo ought to show more of Rio to justify the setting and visually entertain players. As it is, Rio 2016 combines boring gameplay with boring visuals.

46 ♕ Devil’s Third

Only the multiplayer of Devil’s Third is any fun, and the multiplayer is vastly inferior to other shooters like Halo and Call of Duty. With clunky controls and an awkward third-person camera, you’ll only occasionally enjoy on༒line multiplayer.

The single-player camp⛄aign, on the other hand, is impossible to enjoy. Both regular attacks and cinematic kills look terrible. Ivan and his enemies move awkwardly, slashing at each other like brick walls. In ♑addition to awful attacks, the enemies have poor AI programming and sometimes move away instead of fighting you.

Finally, the story and characters are so bad you’ll never want to finish the campaign. With poor voice acting and an abundance of cutscenes, you’ll cringe throughout the campaign—although you’ll enjoy꧒ the occasional well-written joke.

45 Game & Wario 🌞

Originally designed as a launch title for the Wii U, Game & Wario released half a year after the Wii U came out. The 16 mini-gam✃es show 16 different ways you can use the Wii U—and they’re incredibly boring. With clunky controls, slow pacing, and singular objectives, the mini-games show why so many people criticize Wii U mechanics. The simplistic games also demonstrate why mechanics—no matter how brilliant they are—need good content so you can fully appreciate those mechanics.

The game would have been bad no matter what, but it’s especially disappointing as a member of the Wario franchise. Game & Wario throws in our favorite Wario characters while abandoning the quirkiness, fast pace, and varied gameplay that make Wario games so much fun.

44 ꧟ Wii Party U 🌱

Like Mario Party 10, Wii Party U combines a linear, uninteresting board with a list of unpolished mini-games. These mini-games🎶 use strange mechanics and even stranger objectives, leaving you confused aꦡnd dissatisfied after every round.

The only reason Wii Party U trumps Mario Party 10 is its charm. While Mario Party 10 lacks originality, Wii Party U isn’t afraid to be weird. You’ll find yourself laughing as yours Miis throw themselves across the screen and beat each other silly with hammers. I highly recommend playing the game with other people; if you play alone, you’ll want to stop playing as soon as you start. With your friends, you can laugh together at just how terrible and bizarre Wii Party U is.

43 ꦰ 💯 New Super Mario Bros. U

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is one of the most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:overrated games of all time, and its sequel isn’t any different. New Super Mario Bros. U uses the same music, aesthetics, and controls of its prequel, giving fans a completely unoriginal game. While the Wii game added 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:great power-ups like the Penguin Suit to the franchise, the Wii U sequel ad𓄧ds boring outfits𒉰 like Flying Squirrel Mario (which is just a worse version of Cape Mario).

Instead of fixing the franchise’s problems or making an innovative platformer, New Super Mario Bros. U is a worse version of its prequel. The majority of levels and bosses still feel stagnant, and multiplayer is still a chaotic mess. If you want an exciting 2D Mario game, you should play New Super Luigi U instead—butꦗ you’ll find out all about that further down the list.

42 Dr. Luigi

If you enjoyed Dr. Mario, you might enjoy Dr. Luigi—but I don’t guarantee it. Dr. Luigi uꦗpgrades the franchise with 3D, HD graphics—and they actually worsen the game. Luigi and the viruses move outside the playing field, distracting you from the core gameplay. Even the playing field looks terrible: the 3D pills move nauseatingly across the screen. Nintendo should have stuck with older, ♌smoother graphics and avoided outside the movement. With Luigi awkwardly swinging his arm back and forth, you’ll never want to look in his direction.

Apart from the annoying visuals, Dr. Luigi preserves the gameplay of Dr. Mario. In fact, the gameplay’s almost exactly the same. If you’re looking for an original sequel, Dr. Luigi isn’t the game for you.

41 Sing Party ༒

Outside of its wonderful song selection, Sing Party has no outstanding features. Single-player and competitive karaoke are fun enough, but Sing Party also includes terrible “party” modes. Other players can participate as backup ꦕsingers or audience members. After trying these rol💝es, however, you’ll never want to play them again. You barely participate; when you do, you perform bizarre, boring actions like cheering and dancing. Nobody wants to cheer and dance in a singing game, particularly when the developers put so little effort into those modes.

Fortunately, Sing Party does well with its primary singing modes. The Wii U microphone interprets voices well—it’s very good at reading both notes and words. Sing Party occasionally includes great visuals, but the backgrounds are usually uninspired, odd visuals like 3D polygons. You’d probably enjoy regular karaoke more than playing Sing Party, particularly if you’re singing with friends.
