It’s no secret that the Wii U<\/strong> era was a bit of a rough patch for Nintendo. Coming fresh off of the incredible success of the Wii, the Japanese video game company decided to attempt to ride that wave\u00a0with a new\u00a0iteration of their previous\u00a0console. However, much of the Wii U<\/a>‘s troubles came from marketing. Many consumers weren’t quite sure what the Wii U was, whether it was just a gamepad peripheral for the Wii, a “pro” version of the Wii, or something entirely different. Regardless, many Wii U games were released to critical acclaim, but never reached\u00a0many fans due to the system’s lack of sales.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Nintendo has taken the opportunity to reintroduce many Wii U games to Nintendo Switch owners by porting them over to the system, given the hybrid handheld-home console’s success. One of the Switch’s first Wii U ports,\u00a0Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em>, has even gone on to become one of the system’s highest selling titles, beating its own annual sales<\/a> year after year.<\/p>\n

The ports of these games have gone on to sell better than ever on the Switch, such as Pokken Tournament DX<\/em> and\u00a0Pikmin 3 Deluxe<\/em>,\u00a0and now, the excitement surrounding the release of\u00a0Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury<\/em>\u00a0have fans\u00a0arguing\u00a0that so much of the Wii U’s library deserves a second chance. And while many Wii U games have made their way over to the new system, there are still some worthwhile exclusives that are stuck on the previous console.<\/p>\n

Co-developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames and released in April of 2016,\u00a0Star Fox Zero<\/em> received generally mixed reviews, with many fans disappointed by the game’s tricky control scheme and lack of originality. From the get-go, fans were disappointed to see what was essentially another remake of\u00a0Star Fox 64<\/em>, which had already been remade on the Nintendo 3DS in the form of\u00a0Star Fox 64 3D<\/em>. While many fan complaints about\u00a0Star Fox Zero<\/em> have to do with the game’s convoluted controls, perhaps a port to the Nintendo Switch<\/a> could find a remedy for the hybrid TV-Wii U GamePad control system.<\/p>\n

Also co-developed by Nintendo and PlatinumGames,\u00a0Star Fox Guard\u00a0<\/em>was a tower defense game set in the\u00a0Star Fox<\/em> universe released alongside\u00a0Star Fox Zero<\/em>. At the time, fans\u00a0who purchased a physical copy of\u00a0Star Fox Zero<\/em> would also receive\u00a0Star Fox Guard<\/em> as a pack-in title.<\/a> Otherwise, fans could opt to just purchase\u00a0Star Fox Guard<\/em> on its own on the Nintendo eShop for $10 less.\u00a0Despite poor reviews of\u00a0Star Fox Zero<\/em>,\u00a0Star Fox Guard<\/em> seems have been much more well-received by fans.<\/p>\n

Released on the Wii U in 2013,\u00a0The\u00a0Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD<\/i> was a remaster of\u00a0the original\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>Wind Waker<\/em> game on the GameCube back in 2002. Although\u00a0The\u00a0<\/em>Wind Waker<\/em> originally received mixed reviews due to its cartoonish artstyle, it\u00a0slowly became a fan-favorite over time. The HD remaster included a native 1080p resolution, some graphical enhancements, as well as various changes to gameplay. Perhaps this game will see the light of day on the Nintendo Switch as part of\u00a0The Legend of Zelda<\/em>‘s 35th anniversary.<\/a><\/p>\n

Released in 2016,\u00a0The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD<\/em> was a remaster of the original\u00a0Twilight Princess<\/em> game released on both the GameCube and Wii back in 2006.\u00a0Twilight Princess HD<\/em> was co-developed by Nintendo and Tantalus, and released 10 years after the original game, which was well-received thanks to its more dark and mature look. Like\u00a0The Wind Waker HD<\/em>, the game featured enhanced graphics and added amiibo functionality. Many fans hope that\u00a0Twilight Princess HD<\/em> will also be included in a future collection of\u00a0<\/a>Zelda<\/em><\/a> remasters.<\/a><\/p>\n

Developed by Koei Tecmo,\u00a0Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water<\/em> was\u00a0the 5th\u00a0entry in the popular photo-based survival horror\u00a0Fatal Frame<\/em>\u00a0series. While fans were puzzled to see this game come to a system like the Wii U, many enjoyed the game regardless.\u00a0Maiden of Black Water<\/em>\u00a0is widely regarded as one of the last\u00a0Wii U exclusives stuck on the system that should be ported to the Switch,<\/a> with many hoping a potential port will revert back to the control scheme of previous\u00a0Fatal Frame<\/em> games, since\u00a0Maiden of Black Water<\/em>\u00a0previously utilized the Wii U GamePad.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The 8th installment in the\u00a0WarioWare<\/em> series,\u00a0Game & Wario<\/em> released on the Wii U back in 2013. Like other\u00a0WarioWare<\/em> titles, the game came with a variety of mini-games featuring Mario’s raunchy counterpart<\/a>\u00a0and friends.\u00a0Game & Wario<\/i> was not very well received, garnering many middle-of-the-road reviews, mainly due to a lack of content and original ideas. With most of the gameplay revolving around the use of the Wii U GamePad, it seems\u00a0rather unlikely that this title will make its way over to the Nintendo Switch anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Ever since the release of\u00a0Xenoblade Chronicles<\/em> on the Wii back in 2010, the series quickly became a fan-favorite, spawning multiple remasters and re-releases of the original game, as well as a sequel on the Nintendo Switch. Developed by Monolith Soft in 2015,\u00a0Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/em> was released on the Wii U and was praised by many. The open-world JRPG saw players taking control of mechs, traversing the mysterious planet Mira. With the recent release of\u00a0Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition<\/i>,<\/a> many fans hope to see\u00a0Xenoblade Chronicles X<\/em> make a return soon as well.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The unexpected sequel to the Nintendo DS’\u00a0Kirby: Canvas Curse<\/em>,\u00a0Kirby and the Rainbow Curse<\/em> was developed by HAL Laboratory and released back in 2015. While many were surprised to see a sequel to\u00a0what was seemingly a one-off game that released a whole decade prior, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse<\/em>\u00a0was generally well-received. Although a mainline\u00a0Kirby<\/em> game hasn’t released since\u00a0Kirby Star Allies<\/a><\/em> on the Switch<\/a>\u00a0back in 2018, many fans hope to see the return of\u00a0Kirby and\u00a0the Rainbow Curse<\/i>, either adapting touch-controls on the Switch’s screen, or pointer-controls using the Joy-Con controllers.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Developed by Nintendo and Headstrong Games,\u00a0the\u00a0Art Academy<\/em>\u00a0series found its home on the Nintendo DS back in 2009. The art training series\u00a0took advantage of the DS touch screen and stylus, later releasing a new installment on the Nintendo 3DS,\u00a0along with some spinoff titles.<\/a> The series eventually made its way over to the Wii U in 2015 with\u00a0Art Academy: Home Studio<\/em>, containing 30 art lessons for players to indulge in. While\u00a0Art Academy<\/em> is more of a niche series for some, it found great success on Nintendo platforms, and some fans hope to see a re-release of\u00a0Art Academy: Home Studio<\/em> on the Switch someday, utilizing touch controls on the system’s touchscreen.<\/p>\n
