I didn't add ZombieU or Nintendo Land because I personally enjoyed neither of these games and ZombieU received mixed to negative reviews. Thats probably just my opinion though so i added them to the list.Magcargo I find it sad that your "must-own" Wii U list is pretty much the entire library of exclusives (minus ZombiU which, terrible name aside, should probably be added for completeness's sake). Like there is nothing else on that system... that's a sad thought. The fact that people are just discussing Nintendo's former glories here kind of backs that up. And I'm not convinced by Sonic Racing - it's a multiplat. (Rayman Legends only gets a pass because it was designed for the Wii U and makes the most of the touch screen, better than any of Nintendo's games.) That, and, next to MK8, it's a case of "why have brisket when you could have steak?"
Oh, and people are forgetting Nintendo Land. That game is way more fun than I expected it to be. It should definitely have been a Wii game, to try and hook the casual Wii owners onto Nintendo's core franchises while they were still paying attention, but whatever. In a similar vein, NES remix (though I admit to not having played it) is the closest thing the console has to a WarioWare game.
There should probably also be an indie games discussion. The Wii U has some interesting indies (everyone went nuts over Shovel Knight) and it would help promote some actual discussion rather than just listing all the Wii U games there are.
Sonic Racing was an alright game. Its probably one of the better multiplats on the wii u rn since i didn't notice too many issues that the other console releases didn't have. Also it really isn't that much worse than Mario Kart 8; imo its more of alteration of it since it has different characters and different but still very fun racing tracks.
As for shovel knight, i completely forgot about it lol
