Wii U Post-Mortem

I wanted to update this definite list if enough were added so after today…

  • Mario Maker
  • Super Mario World 3D
  • Wonderful 101
  • Tokyo Mirage Sessions (the Persona x Fire Emblem JRPG)
  • Pikmin 3
  • Fatal Frame 5

maybe?

  • New Super Mario/Luigi Bros. U
  • Paper Mario Colour Splash
  • Xenoblade Chronicles X
  • Pushmo World
  • Affordable Space Adventures

If you really don’t want to keep a 3DS around

  • 2 Mario vs DKs feat. Minis
  • Yoshi Woolly World
  • Mighty Switch Force 2
  • Monster Hunter 3 U
  • NES Remix 1+2 (some exclusive games though compared to the 3DS compilation)

Probably still the version you should play if you want it?

  • Zombi U

lol

  • Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess HD
  • Dr Luigi
  • Devil’s Third
  • Sonic Boom
  • Animal Crossing amiibo Festival

rip

  • Game & Wario
  • Nintendoland
  • Kirby Rainbow Curse
  • Star Fox Zero
  • Star Fox Guard

There’s also a couple of somewhat notable mobile games that which’s only console port was the Wii U like Blek.
DrinkBox Studios’ touch dungeon crawler Severed also fits this if you don’t have a Vita.

I feel like a Super Mario 3D Land/World Collection is something one could bet money will happen at one point or another. Pushmo Collection could probably go as well. The rest of the games though are probably either too reliant on the gamepad or just were never successful enough to be considered worth it to port.
