Lists are of course just opinions. "Best of" are ones to ignore.

With that said I've put in 15 hours into NES Remix and say fuck off with putting that at number 8. Half those games were already horrible.

Also,

I don't even care about the order. The fact that Nintendo Land isn't in this list makes it completely invalid.

 

[Effect]

The list order is all kinds of weird. That can be weird at times for people.I just have a few issues with the selection of some titles. Some don't make any damn sense.

Disney Infinity should not be on the list or up for consideration. That game is not that good and doesn't even run that well on the Wii U. 2.0 as well I believe. To have it rank above ZombiU and Wonderful 101 makes no sense. New Super Luigi U should have it's own slot either. Yes it got a stand alone release but it's originally DLC for NSMBU! I question Steamworld Dig being on the list as well even though it is a very good game. All take up space that could have gone to the following games. Need for Speed: Most Wanted U, Deus Ex, or Splinter Cell Blacklist. Of the third party games that were released on the system these are best ones quality wise and port wise.

Nintendo Land should be on this list as well. Even if one of the indie games (not Shovel Knight) gets knocked to make room.

 

[Regiruler]

Also, Lego City is ok, but I'd have it towards the tail end of the list.

 

[Sain Drevia]

I generally agree with the list, but it kind of feels like they could have just called it a complete ranking of all Wii U games. I really can't think of anything even worth playing outside of the games listed there. Not hating, just sayin'.

 

[RE_Player]

Isn't Arkham City on Wii U a bad port?

 

[Floridian]

I wonder where Zelda U & Xenoblade will fall in by their next list.

 

[TDLink]

So after the top 3 did they basically just toss random games that are on the system on there in a random order? Because it sure seems that way.

 

[komorebi]

Isn't Arkham City on Wii U a bad port?

When has that stopped a "AAA game" from getting 8.5 and above from IGN.

 

[Effect]

Isn't Arkham City on Wii U a bad port?

No. There might be some texture issues in some place but it's a well done port and uses the gamepad nice ways. One of the better ports.

 

[hatchx]

This list order is all kinds of wack.

This this and this.

TWW remaster above all those other gems?

My list:

10. Kirby
9. ZombiU
8. Rayman Legends
7. The W101
6. 3D World
5. Bayonetta 2
4. Pikmin 3
3. DK : Tropical Freeze
2. Mario Kart
1. Smash

 

[LocalE]

I'd echo all the comments about W101 and Tropical Freeze's placement, also with the lack of Nintendo Land, but I'm really wondering where the hell Bayonetta is on that list.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Shit ports ahead of Wonderful 101. RIP.

 

[zenosparadox]

I'm glad Pikmin 3 made it at #5. I would half expect some of these lists to forget it or put it at the bottom.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Haven't played almost anything on that list...

 

[popyea]

I'd echo all the comments about W101 and Tropical Freeze's placement, also with the lack of Nintendo Land, but I'm really wondering where the hell Bayonetta is on that list.

Most review sites probably think it's been made obsolete or something. It's understandable that they'd just include one of the games in a list like this though.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Haven't played almost anything on that list...

What are you even playing on your Wii U?

 

[Josh5890]

Isn't Arkham City on Wii U a bad port?

I didn't experience any problems with the game. It was pretty decent from a technical point of view.

 

[Xav]

Shit ports ahead of Wonderful 101. RIP.

IGN love their shit ports.

 

[Malus]

I enjoy the game and all but I don't get why Mario Kart 8 gets so much love. It's like any other Mario Kart but with especially nice graphics and a butchered battle mode. Is it just because it sold a lot?

I mean it's good but what does it do that puts it above the other big games?

 

[ec0ec0]

IGN’s Nintendo experts got together to

yeah, right. Maybe someone wants to post that famous super mario 3d world multiplayer gif

 

[Timeaisis]

At least they got the #1 place correct

.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

IGN love their shit ports.

Oh god D:

 

[Coolio McAwesome]

It's a pretty good list of games regardless of the order. I do wish Tekken Tag Tournament 2 would get more love. It's one of the most complete fighting games ever.

 

[brandonh83]

And the pure fucking blasphemy towards Wonderful 101 continues.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

What are you even playing on your Wii U?

Earthbound, Art Academy and Pixel Paint :V

 

[120v]

god i hate these things

 

[NeOak]

20. Guacamelee!

This is standing in for Meme Run, i'm sure of it!

Spoiler

kek

 

[hbkdx12]

I still don't understand the affinity for Mario kart 8

 

[Jotamide]

Shovel Knight at 6 is fucking hilarious.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Earthbound, Art Academy and Pixel Paint :V

I mean, all of those are great games. It's just surprising you haven't touched the huge titles yet.

 

[Raw64life]

Not crazy about the order but 6 out of the 7 Wii U games I own are in the top 10, so certainly better than the average IGN list.

 

[105.Will]

And Wonderful 101 continues to be under appreciated.

 

[EhoaVash]

Lol nes remix that damn high. They sure have on their nostalgics goggles on

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

DKC too low.

 

[Iva Demilcol]

I mean, all of those are great games. It's just surprising you haven't touched the huge titles yet.

It's not surprising at all to be honest; I don't like most Nintendo franchises. I tend to buy a lot of 3rd party titles for the few Nintendo consoles I own. In the case of the WiiU though this may be the first time I own more Nintendo games than 3rd party titles!!!

 

[Azure J]

...is it wrong that I kinda agree with the #1? Mario Kart 8 is REALLY fun.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

I'm glad Pikmin made top 5,but that list seems crazy out of order.

 

[Edsmells12345]

Nintendoland?

 

[105.Will]

...is it wrong that I kinda agree with the #1? Mario Kart 8 is REALLY fun.

You can definitely argue that Mario Kart 8 is #1. I think i had more fun with that game than i did smash.

 

[Kacho]

NES Remix in the top 10 makes me happy. That game is so damn fun.

 

[nephilimdj]

I would of swapped the platformers

9.rayman
11. dk
17 Mario U

Mario U at 9 lol

 

[Gonzo The Great]

How the fuck is New Super Mario Bros. U ahead of Rayman Legends and Tropical Freeze? How the fuck is... ah, forget it. Their list is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

 

[braves01]

How the fuck is New Super Mario Bros. U ahead of Rayman Legends and Tropical Freeze? How the fuck is... ah, forget it. Their list is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

It's the best 2D Mario game ever, so I understand how it could be ahead of DK and I'd expect it to be placed ahead of Rayman.

 

[Beren the Empty-Handed]

Woah that order is messed up. Luigi U worse than Mario U? What in the world?

 

[BlackBanditSho]

Okay, I was a little shocked at #1. Played Mario Kart on the 3DS and it was fine. It's just a kart game. Enjoyed Mario Kart way back in the day on the Snes. Maybe a little on the GC. Is MK8 really that good? Like best game on the system good? Every video just looks like another cutesy cart racer to me…

Why is this game better than Wind Waker, SM3DW, Nintendoland (which wasn't even on the list), or Pikmin3? I figured I'd have to wait until a new Metroid or Zelda game came out until I picked up another game for the system...

 

[Neff]

25. The Wonderful 101

List is back to front.

Its the best looking game on the system for one. Also has fantastic soundtrack and is really fun online. But pikmin 3 is still the best Wii u game

 

[Mr-Joker]

The Wonderful 101 is waaay too low on the list and it being outrank by a Assassin Creed game is just wrong. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is also too low on the list.

NES remix should take The Wonderful 101 spot, though I question if it's cheating since they added both game rather than just one.

Steamworld dig is boring so that would be lower on the list and I would boot Rayman legend of the list as well.

Honestly my list would be;

25. Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor Sword.
24. Resident Evil Revelations
23. Game & Wario
22. Lego Marvel
21. Citizen of Earth
20. New Super Mario U
19. Amazing Spider-Man
18. Earthbound
17. Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed
16. Nintendo Land
15. Bayonetta 1
14. New Super Luigi U
13. Lego City: Undercover
12. Hyrule Warriors
11. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
10. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
09. New Super Mario Bros. U
08. The Wonderful 101
07. Bayonetta 2
06. Shovel Knight
05. Pikmin 3
04. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
03. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
02. Super Mario 3D World
01. Mario Kart 8

Isn't Arkham City on Wii U a bad port?

Well it caused my Wii U to crash.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

The wonderful 101 is top 3 wtf

 

[Troubled Bat]

Well.. At least W101 made it.
