If you own a Wii U and are wondering which games you may have missed out on then you may want to check out this list courtesy of IGN. The publication has listed the top 25 Wii U games as of Spring 2016 and as you’d expect there’s plenty of big hitters on the list. What is surprising is that The Wonderful 101 fails to make the list, which is a shame as it has a devoted following amongst Wii U owners. Anyway, here’s their top 25 Wii U games.
25: Disney Infinity 3.0
24: FAST Racing NEO
23: New Super Luigi U
22: Stealth Inc. 2
21: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition
20: Affordable Space Adventures
19: SteamWorld Dig
18: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
17: Lego City Undercover
16: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
15: Xenoblade Chronicles X
14: Rayman Legends
13: Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
12: New Super Mario Bros. U
11: NES Remix 1 & 2
10: Splatoon
9: Pikmin 3
8: Shovel Knight
7: Minecraft Wii U Edition
6: Bayonetta 2
5: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
4: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
3: Super Mario 3D World
2: Mario Kart 8
1: Super Mario Maker
* comment of salty disagreeing *
Aside from a lack of Hyrule Warriors and Wonderful 101, I’m fine with this list
No Hyrule is trash
It was good while exclusive but it’s now a bare port compared to the 3ds.
This list is all over the place.
-||We should make our own list, ours will have 2 lists||-
Why 2?
~*Wait a minute. Is that a Jay & Silent Bob reference or something? I know it sounds familiar, at least.*~

~*Oh yeah! I thought it sounded familiar. Just mixed it up with the wrong movie. Although, that is something Jay would say, too, since he’s an idiot. lol*~
Ew Minecraft is at 7? NES Remix at 11?!
I’m cool with this list. With the exception of Splatoon being so low and Minecraft being that fucking high.
NES Remix, Minecraft, Shovel Knight, Captain Toad, Rayman, and New Super Mario Bros. U in higher positions that Xenoblade Chronicles X? HA! Seriously, what did IGN smoke while doing this list? Disney Infinity 3.0, Guacamelee, and New Super Luigi U in the list but no The Wonderful 101? Yup… Worst Wii U list yet…
~*They probably rated XCX 7.5 for too much open world. lol*~
This list is a bunch l
og bologna!
Of* stupid phone.
Meh, a few of them I don’t understand. Nintendo really needs to drop some news bombs here, becoming a pretty sad state.
No “Wonderful 101”? You’ve got to be kidding me…
No “Yoshi’s Wooly World”? You’ve still got to be kidding me…
Too bad most of it is indies since the amount of total Wii U games barely even makes 25…
-||Xenoblade Chronicles X will be remembered as the most underrated game in history of gaming||-
-||IGN: 7.8/10 – Too much great Nintendo games so we have to put up the more mediocre ones first||-
“Yo IGN, I’m really happy for you… I’ll let you finish. But Tropical Freeze was one of the best video games of all time! One of the best video games of all time!”
Are you a gay fish?
Not bad, but as I always do I’ve compiled my own top 25 Wii U games list and here it is……
25. Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed
24. Minecraft: Wii U Edition
23. NES Remix 1 & 2
22. Runbow
21. Skylanders SuperChargers
20. Guacamelee! Super Turbo Champion Edition
19. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
18. Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut
17. Mass Effect 3
16. Hyrule Warriors
15. Yoshi’s Wooly World
14. Wonderful 101
13. New Super Mario Bros. U
12. Rayman Legends
11. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
10. Splatoon
9. Pikmin 3
8. Super Mario Maker
7. Xenoblade Chronicles X
6. Shovel Knight
5. Super Mario 3D World
4. Wind Waker HD
3. Super Smash Bros For Wii U
2. Mario Kart 8
1. Bayonetta 2
MUCH better, seriously. I’d exclude multiplatform titles, but that’s just me.
That list I can agree on. I would move a few games around, but overall WAY better than IGN’s list.
Yup ….. Like your Top 25 list …… including Sega All-Star Racing and Deus Ex is key to me (also in my top 25 list). It is a really balanced list (from day 1 ’til today). Cheers :D
Darksiders 2 anyone? That game was great.
Jack of all clubs, if you ask me. Ran terribly too.
Jack of all clubs? Is that a game? Sorry, I don’t know what you mean. 😬
That he is too ambitious, but falls short in every aspect.
You’re referring to Death? I don’t remember the whole story as I haven’t played it since like launch year. My bad.
No, I’m referring to the game itself. It tries to be Prince of Persia, God of War and Zelda all at once, but it doesn’t reach the standards of any series.
Oh. Ok. Yeah, I remember everyone comparing it to Zelda when I was asking about it.
I just realized the idiom goes ‘jack of all trades’, not ‘clubs’. My bad, stupid mistake.
No problem haha
I personally really liked that game. It had its fair share of problems but overall it was great. I would have put Darksiders 2 in my top ten Wii U games.. Another one I liked was Arkham City. It was the superior version of all consoles on the Wii U…
How is Minecraft and 3D World above Splatoon? They’re even above Shovel Knight!
NES Remix 1&2 is in there but W101 not? And Fast Racing Neo somewhere at the end far behind Stealth Inc 2? Minecraft WiiU Edition on the 7??? What-so-ever.
“Sigh” No Zombi U, that game was pretty good. Very underrated…
