5. Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
Although it is a remake, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD is a remake of one of the greatest Legend of Zelda titles in history. The charming art style of Toon Link is now beautifully remastered in HD, and the adventure is that much more enjoyable thanks to the upgrade.
4. LEGO City Undercover
Play as cop Chase McCain as he uses various disguises to take down baddies in this open-world LEGO game. The game is highlighted by witty dialogue and tons of references to all kinds of movies like Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather.
3. Pikmin 3
Pikmin 3 takes the best parts of both its predecessors and combines them into one beautiful journey through a mysterious planet, collecting its fruits to save their home planet from starvation. Although the story is short-lived, there are some missions for you to accomplish once you're done.
2. Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario 3D World was the greatest game on the Wii U, until MK8 rolled along, but I'll get to that in a minute. Super Mario 3D World has a lengthy adventure, several collectibles within each level, and tons of replay value making it an outstanding game. In addition, the game has a wonderful soundtrack and gorgeous visuals.
1. Mario Kart 8
And the most recent Wii U hit, as well as the greatest Wii U game released to date. Mario Kart 8 is as hectic as always, and deserves praise for its outstanding online capabilities as well as lots of unlockables and replay value. The one drawback? The roster is awful. Other than that, the game excels on everything else, controls, sound, visuals, and it's a blast to play locally with your friends and family.
