For Wii owners, or for those of us who missed out on the Wii altogether, the Wii U is fully backwards compatible with Wii games. The Wii U isn't limited to just Wii U games, either.
There are a handful of great co-op games on Xbox One and PS4- Diablo III springs to mind, and Call of Duty can be fun-but the Wii U dominates this type of old-fashioned, in-person play. I don't spend nearly as much time playing games with friends in person on any other system, mainly because those other systems are targeted largely at online play. Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze has two-player co-op, and Super Mario 3D World has up to four. Up to four players can play Mario Kart 8 and up to eight players can play the new Smash. While games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. can be played online, they're also really terrific to play with friends in person. It's fantastic for couch co-op and competitive play. Bayonetta 2 may be the best action game released in years.
Tropical Freeze is a hugely challenging platformer. Mario Kart 8 is my favorite in the series. Neither the Xbox One nor the PS4 can boast so many video games you can't play anywhere else.īetter yet, almost all of these games are simply excellent. Upcoming exclusives include the new Xenoblade game, a brand new Legend of Zelda, Splatoon and the Shin Megami Tensei /Fire Emblem crossover, just to name a few. Now the Wii U boasts Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, a remastered Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros. Granted, the Wii U came out a year before its rivals, but that first year was hardly its best in terms of video games. You pay for what you get, right? Well the cheapest console also happens to have the best exclusives of the three-at least at the moment. Granted both those services do offer nice perks, but the Wii U's online is the only one of the three that is 100% free. No app or online multiplayer is hidden behind a monthly subscription.Ĭompare this to Xbox Live Gold ($59.99/year) or PlayStation Plus ($49.99/year) and the pennies start to add up. Of course, the Wii U is also cheaper thanks to Nintendo not charging for its online services. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription to access content.
