As the title says, what will be the Wii U games to get before they become rare. What games are worth playing before they're hard to find?

Tokyo Mirage Sessions maybe.
Yea, I'm gonna go with this and maybe Wonderful 101.
Yeah I could imagine the disc copy of Tokyo Mirage Sessions becoming rare at some point. I don't think many were printed in the west based on how it performed in Japan in the first place. Those that have copies are very likely to hang on to them because the game is great! I'll never let my copy of that go.
The version of Baoyonetta 2 that includes Bayonetta 1 as a collection is likely also to be rare. Another game I see few people parting ways with in the end. I assume it already is.
The disc version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is likely be pretty damn expensive. Doesn't help that it was only released in Japan and Europe/Aus (Limited Edition only) on disc while the US version was eShop only. The Japanese copy actually includes the localization I believe. Or was that Bayonetta 2 or both?

Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Bayonetta 2 first print with Bayonetta 1 (in NA, PAL is apparently more common) for sure. Mario and Sonic Rio Olympics was recalled almost immediately after release and NES Remix Pack seems like it got a relatively low print run even as a Select. Wii Sports Club and Game and Wario also vanished pretty soon after they came out.
Breath of the Wild and Colour Splash will probably be up there too because late-lifespan releases on Nintendo systems almost always become scarce fast. Especially since BOTW was just a low-key, token release compared to the Switch one, and Colour Splash's reception was middling. I bet even Twilight Princess HD will probably hold its price pretty well.
Wonderful 101 isn't that expensive for now, but if it never gets ported in the future it'll probably find its way up there.

Yup.
Hello Kitty is surprising because it's over $200 and you would have thought they would have been enough printed for the demand.
Rio is surprising because that series was always popular and its published by Nintendo with Mario in it so it becoming sold out in months is unusual.

Does anybody like this game? Is there even a small enthusiast base for it? Serious question but it seemed like it was widely panned. For a game to be valuable it needs to not only be rare but also be desired.

I bought New Super Luigi U before buying the system itself, and also hunted down a first run copy of Pikmin 3 despite receiving it digitally from Club Nintendo, because I believed both would become difficult to find after the Wii U kicked.
Star Fox Guard? Are collectors really interested in a box with just a download code?

Yup. These. Especially the latter.
Didn't even know there was a version with a disc. lol

You can still find new copies of it for sub $20. My local Wal-Mart has had it for sale for $15 for ages, multiple copies too. It was overshipped.
Star fox Assault is still cheap on GC. i don't see SFZ becoming rare at all.
It was just available in the first print edition of Star Fox Zero.
I played it last year and really enjoyed it! It was the right kind of stupid fun, its Ninja Gaiden with guns in addition to swords

tenuously links anime, pedophile and incels
? Anecdotal, but the 2 Target stores by me have had a shitload in stock since the game released.
Yeah I see them everywhere here, even the LE for TMS.

That tablet thing for the Wii.
But I think the LE for TMS will be. Particularly a complete copy with all the stickers and everything still.

This is going to be rare in the next couple years....
Yep, that's the thing with this stuff, availability is relative. For example, TMS was a 2016 English-only RPG, so outside of the UK the European print run was really limited, to the point where some countries only got the LE and pretty much pre-order only. It is probably comparatively not that hard to find in the US if you're good with the standard edition. Pikmin 3 and DKC:TF were also surprisingly rare, at least until the Nintendo Selects reprint.

The PVP was praised somewhat but they're already offline.
