IGN staff have ranked their favorite Wii U games. Although Nintendo’s latest console was released less than a year ago, there are many great games for it, including Nintendo eShop titles. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD isn’t featured on the entertainment website’s list, as it hasn’t even released yet. However, IGN has awarded the high-definition remake with a 9.8/10, making it the website’s highest-rated Wii U game to date. IGN’s top 25 Wii U games are listed below:
- Pikmin 3
- Rayman Legends
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- LEGO City Undercover
- Nintendo Land
- The Wonderful 101
- Need for Speed: Most Wanted U
- Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Splinter Cell Blacklist
- Resident Evil Revelations
- Mass Effect 3
- ZombiU
- New Super Luigi U
- Scribblenauts Unlimited
- Disney Infinity
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
- Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
- DuckTales Remastered
- Bit Trip Presents Runner 2
- Toki Tori 2
- Little Inferno
- Mutant Mudds Deluxe
- Assassin’s Creed 3
- Trine 2: Director’s Cut
Meh
You know that your console sucks when you have to count a dlc as a full game, lololololol
well, the game was released as a disk. that’s how i have it, collectors edition.
i was gonna be that asshole who comments “the Wii U has 25 games?” but then i remembered i have one and i love it.
Me too but thats funny
That list sucks.
Those are all the 25 games on the Wii U
Ign dosnt care a shit ur opinion ;)
lol
Ignoring Pokemon Rumble is a Wii U game.
Uh oh, here comes the foul fanboy hate because IGN doesn’t share the same opinion as them!
A lot of my favorite Wii U software isn’t listed here, but that’s probably because they’re more like apps– Animal Crossing Plaza, Art Academy Sketchpad, etc. Funny how a gaming console can become such a hub of entertainment just by adding Miiverse!
That moment when you have half the games on the list…
I have 20 out of that list.
Why is Ign making a top 25 list for a console that hasn’t been out more than a year? You cant spell ignorant without ign =\
It’s a shame that most of those are shared with other systems ;( I can’t wait for the Wii U to kick into gear like the 3ds did.
Won’t happen
How you know it won’t happen?
Too soon IGN, wait at least another year and a half
If they are including eshop titles to round out the list… I’d put Trune 2 at the top.
I’d put trine 2 myself. Lol
Whatever trune 2 is meh.
THERE ARE 25 WII U GAMES!?
Reblogged this on Blog of an e-marketer by Main Uddin.
The funny thing is all of those games should be in place 25.
I like how they prefer the terrible ports of games like Mass Effect 3 over actual Wii U exclusive games.
Exactly I was like what the heck really?
i only have 5 WiiU games
I only have 3.
Ninty land
nfs most wanted u
nsmbu
I only have 6
NSMBU
Nintendo Land
scribblenauts unlimted
Sonic and All stars racing transformed
Pikmin 3
and CloudBerry kingdom
these are almost all 3rd party games
..and why do you think that is?
In other news, BAYONETTA ANIME

mass effect 3 on 12? really?
any top list of a console should be exclusives only. fuck this list.
Trine 2 best 2D graphical game and has online and uses mic at 25th?
Shame there’s never anyone online, yet Nintendo fans moan when online features are omitted…
Will before Pikmin 3 came out I played online a few times on Trine 2.
I didn’t know the Wii U had 25 games…you know I’m starting to think Nintendo blew it with this system. I’m a 32 year old gamer who buys plays every system and I’m ready to move on. I enjoy games like Mass Effect and God/Gears of War but have a soft spot for Mario etc. But Nintendo is either extremely arrogant or stupid if they think the public doesn’t see that the Wii U offers nothing near the novelty of the original Wii. And how long do they expect people to wait for games when the competition is chruning them out like clockwork…
It’s Mario in HD, nuff said. Second screen playing is essential, I’m 32 also and sometimes the wife watches shows while I play on the pad. 6 of the top 10 are exclusive and 2 more offer exclusive content or options.
IGN sucking at best as usual lawl. I have 17 Wii U games. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is the best for me … wonderfull 101 second.
Duck Tales Remastered? That’s just a remake of an NES game. How does that count? I know all too well that the Wii U is not doing well, but come on. Duck Tales? That shouldn’t count. And how is SMBU so high and yet Super Luigi U is so low? They should be right near each other, since they’re so similar. That’s just weird. But whatever. Just another person’s opinion. Life goes on.
W101 is slick as hell. Totally underated game. I love it. My 2nd best game after Pilmin 3 on Wii U.
there is enough for a 25 games list ??? oh inde games included , that explains
SOMEONE GIVE ME A HAMMER, I’M GOING TO TEACH IGN A LESSON.
I would offer Mjolnir but you aint worthy.
This top 25 business Is a bit premature isn’t it? Especially when until recently, the Wii U has had about as much choice as a Welsh fish & chip shop..
10 out of 25 ain’t bad soon to be 13
This weekend when I get rayman legends, pikmin 3 and the wonderful 101.
When a game like Nintendoland is fifth…you know that your console has no games.
that iz zzoo true. im almozzt afraif if nintendoo really lost it thizzztime.
You should get your keyboard checked man…
That was a good one dom64.
Solid list. But what I’m really angry at, is that I visited their article and expected a negative tone within the first sentences. And I was not disappointed ;(
Pikmin 3 at the top, I don’t care about the rest because that’s all I wanted…
I love Sonic Racing, but I’m surprised it was number 18.
…To be fair I didn’t even know it had 25 games :/
Mutant Mudds made it! :D
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is a LOT better than Nintendo Land … not sure about this chart… hmmm
leave out call of duty then it’s a proper list
Top 25 Wii U games? That’s probably all there is is 25 games on Wii U. Or not MUCH more than that.
