Also Divinity Original Sin II for those who were disappointed by Torchlight II and/or Pillars of Eternity. And it’s available… now.

And it supports cross-platform play with your Steam version. How cool is that?

It’s about time! Now the question is, how far will nostalgia carry Stunt Race FX?

[RainRaven]

Pilotwings!!!

What I asked for a couple of months ago!

I’m such an influencer.

Holy shit.

These days, cross-platform play puts a game near the top of my play list. Thanks for noting that, really cool.

Agreed. Steam/Switch cross-saves is a killer feature for me.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions is finally getting an upgraded port - I think there goes my last reason to still own a Wii U.

@Brad_Grenz

Still need Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Yep I’d happily play both again!

XC again, not so sure. Played it on Wii and Dolphin.

But now the faces aren’t hideous!!!

[Profanicus]

Ok, maybe once more! :)

So, legit question building off that from a guy who skipped the Wii U entirely after owning (between my gf and I) a 64, Gamecube, and Wii in a row:

Are there any truly remarkable Wii U experiences I’d totally miss if I skipped past that in favor of a Switch for my birthday?

@WhollySchmidt

Overwhelmed, like wow this more than I expected (for better or worse), underwhelmed is when something is less than expected and disappointing (unlike overwhelmed, this is almost always used negatively).

“Whelmed” is the indifferent, boring, not even worth complaining about, middle ground.
Not really good, not really bad, just bland and not evoking strong feelings either way.

As indicated above, most of the good Wii-U stuff is on Switch now, with TMS:FE coming January. The big exception is Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Wonderful 101 is the only one I hear bandied around. There is soooooooo much stuff on the Switch. It’s insane.

Wonderful 101

Ah yeah that too. I wonder what happened to the rumours from a while back of the port?

[CLWheeljack]

Platinum is pretty busy with Switch work as is, so I wouldn’t discount the possibility Wonderful 101 gets a port later on down the line.

[Thraeg]

Yep, Wonderful 101 is the clear choice there. Mario 3D World is good too.

[ArmandoPenblade]

Thanks, y’all!

[WhollySchmidt]

Super Mario 3D World is the only thing I can think of off the top of my head that still hasn’t been ported or followed up on with a sequel. It’s not the most groundbreaking Mario game, and there are still rumors it could come to the Switch eventually. But for now I think it qualifies as a great Wii U game you can’t play anywhere else.

Frankly, as silly as it may sound, that little piece of plastic helped me pull through some of the darkest times of my life. Don’t look back, it provides joy ;)
