    The Wii U is met with praise and criticism, but no matter what it was innovative and that is what Nintendo does best. From this console we had some amazing hits, with games from franchises we have not seen in years to even a new IP that carried over to the Nintendo Switch.

      If you want me to be brutally honest, I haven't kept up with your Top 10 series as much as I have your Completionist reviews/videos. That said, however, I have been a long time fan for years and can say that the Final Fantasy one peaked my interest the most. Hope this bit of feedback helps! :)

    I’m normally terrible at picking favorites, but without any doubts, the Wii U is my favorite console of all time. I’ve discovered dozens of games on this system, old and new alike. Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Darksiders 2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, Axiom Verge, Shovel Knight, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Guacamelee, Arkham City, Freedom Planet, Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild, and countless others have occupied my time well. Excellent list as always, Jirard!

  • @ShigKirby
    @ShigKirby 6 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    Fully agree with all these games and they deserve much more credit and attention. Other games include DKC Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Star Fox Guard and Fatal Frame 5. If you haven't played these fun, varied games then you should. Its unfortunate people don't see how necessary the Wii U was and that it produced many great games for gamers looking for unique, interesting experiences. They have ironed out a few issues and produced what very well be the greatest video game console of all time with the Switch, built off of the foundation of everything that has come before. That didn't come around by chance or coincidence.

  • @ThatBaldGamer
    @ThatBaldGamer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +87

    The Wii U was unfortunately a poorly marketed console. However, Nintendo seems to have learned from this and many who may have missed out on some great games from the console are getting a chance to try them out on the Switch by means of porting.

      @@AbdulKareem-gb1ed 10 was decent at best. 9 and 8 don't really count because they were Wii game, not Wii U games (even then 9 wasn't all that great). Though I suppose that Wii Party U was another good party game was on the system. I remember playing Mario Party 10 with a bunch of friends at a graduation party, and we had a fun time bitching about how bad and unfair the game was (seriously, Bowser mode was bullshit if you weren't Bowser). It had some decent minigames, so it at least had that, but as an overall experience, it was decent at best.
      And as for my thoughts on Mario Party 8... I enjoyed it, but at the same time I know that objectively it's not that good. It has some... interesting boards (half of them are just a straight line or a circle, but the other half were great). The thing that really drags 8 down is the lackluster minigames. Half of them were just basic motion control games.

    The Wii U, while it had its flaws, was a fantastic console imo. Sure, it had its blunders (Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis Ultra Smash, Paper Mario Colour Splash and Star Fox Zero being the biggest mishaps imo), but it had some quality gems during its lifetime. Nintendo Land is one of the best multiplayer games I've ever played (mainly thanks to Mario Chase), Splatoon is one of the best online multiplayer shooters out there, Super Mario 3D World, while it's not Odyssey, was fun in its own right and it has a fantastic soundtrack. Mario Kart 8 is my favorite Mario Kart of all time, and Smash Bros Wii U was fun to play, and probably the closest Nintendo has gotten to matching Melee in terms of quality. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is a fantastic puzzle game, and smaller franchises like Pikmin and Bayonetta got a chance to shine of the system. Then there's Super Mario Maker... overall, a fantastic system with some great games, some of which I haven't mentioned in detail, like Woolly World and Tropical Freeze. Hopefully the Switch can continue to live up to the quality of the Wii U, which it has been doing a fantastic job thus far.

    I almost agree with you on the Vista U, Switch 10 comparison.
    Windows Vista added so many features we take for granted today, like pasting images directly in our browser, hitting Windows key and being able to search our computer instead of manually finding programs through a list, the _Snipping Tool,_ it was a huge boost from XP in features. It just ran like shit.
    But Windows 7 was the culmination of an optimized and improved Vista. Windows 10 was the same thing, but for Windows 8.

      Windows 8.1 is part of Windows 8's support lifecycle. It _is_ Windows 8. A giant update to it. In fact, Windows 8 was immediately unsupported and all 8 users had to update to 8.1 to continue getting updates.
      Windows 8.1 was very much like a Service Pack for 8 the way SP2 and SP3 were for XP, the only difference being it wasn't available through Windows Update and had to be installed from the Windows Store

    A+ list Jirard. You and Super Mario Maker (and the community) convinces me over 2 years ago to buy a WiiU when I was in a rough patch in college. It was amazing to let a creative side of me come out in the light after being hidden for so many years. Thank you. Sincerely thank you.

    When all is said and done, Tropical Freeze is honestly my favorite Wii U game and (incoming blasphemy) my favorite DKC game. It's just so fantastic, gameplay is excellent, soundtrack is *amazing,* and I'm probably gonna buy the Switch port I love it that much.

    We just got a WiiU from my cousin recently and she didn't have any games for it (aside from what was already installed). This list has a few games on it that I have been wanting to get, but at the time I didn't have the system. Now that I finally got this system, I can get the games that I've been wanting for a long time. Thank you!!!

    #3: Axiom Verge
    #4: Super Mario Maker
    #5: SteamWorld Dig
    #6: Stealth Inc 2
    #7: Guacamelee
    #8: Super Mario 3D World
    #9: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
    #10: Turtle Tale
    I'm not big on PvP, so I didn't bother getting Smash, Kart, or Splatoon...

      No Breath of the Wild?
      And yes I do consider it to be a Wii U game that was ported to Switch.
      Because that's exactly what it is.

    • @josephhawkins7974
      @josephhawkins7974 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Calvinus Cosgrovius While I definitely understand your opinion and agree that it deserves a spot in the top 10 games on the Wii U, I just don't think of it as one since I played it on switch instead of the Wii U.
      I'd probably take off woolly world or twilight princess to fit breath of the wild, but I'm not sure which right now.

  • @Izimaka
    @Izimaka 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I still love my Wii U. Between Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Splatoon, I'm pretty sure that the only console that I've spent more time on was handhelds, thanks in part to Monster Hunter moving to 3DS only afterwards. I got to experience Wind waker for the first time because of it, and while Smash and Super mario maker didn't hold my interest as long as the hundreds of hours sucked up by the main two, I'm happy I got to experience them. I'm glad so many of the games on the system are getting ports and sequels so other people can experience them too, but I'll be keeping my Wii U forever even if it's only for nostalgia.

  • @saikuran
    @saikuran 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm right there with you on Star Fox Zero, man. I think the controls feel pretty natural, and once you're used to them you don't really need to look away from the main screen.

  • @Citizenryan82
    @Citizenryan82 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love this video! The WII U is one of my favorite systems of all time. Jirard has always really supported this console by making some great videos about WII U games when very few others did. I can't wait for a new Hyrule Warriors and 3d World videos as name game + because they were two of my favorite videos on this channel. Great work!! Strong picks on this list!

    I defy anyone who said the WiiU was a failed console. It was the first proper shared console my fiance and I bouhht together and came out at a time when we needed it most.
    Plus it just had a great line up that has only been overshadowed by Switch ports of... the same lineup. Which there is no reason to rebuy IMO.

  • @mpm8503
    @mpm8503 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    1. Super Smash Bros

    3. Bayonetta 2
    4. Mario Maker
    5. Mario Kart 8
    6. Tropical Freeze
    7. Pikmin 3
    8. Shovel Knight
    9. Splatoon
    10. Xenoblade Chronicles X
    I did not add Windwaker since its kind of a port or BoTW since I count that as a Switch game instead. Now please port Wonderful 101 to the Switch!

    • @MrServantRider
      @MrServantRider 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It wasn't overlooked, the fans of paper mario gave an enormous backlash to the game for not meeting their expectations.

    • @arathorrn16
      @arathorrn16 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      idk i kinda disagree, i haven't seen many people talking about it. Sticker Star for example, just about everyone agrees that its not good, its the only paper mario game i haven't finished. But not many channels, at least ones i watch, talk about color splash
      As for it not meeting expectations, it was pretty clear that it wasn't going to go back to the TTYD style of gameplay from just the initial trailer, so my only expectation going in was for it to be a fun paper mario experience, and i'd say it fulfilled that expectation to be honest. It was such a significant improvement on the sticker star formula, the cards for battling didn't feel completely forced, there was actually strategy in the battles and real story progression, and the theme of filling in each blank area with color was really fun

    Mr. Completionist, Today I present you with a challenge, when you completed splatoon on the show I was impressed , you were able to get to the top of the rankings system, get every weapon, and 100% the single player campaign, however there is still more to be achieved, the sequel is out now and to complete it would be your ultimate acheivement, a true test of your abilities. 4 ranked game modes to get to the top of, dozens of weapons to buy, a co-op mode to level up in, and by the end of this summer; 2 separate single player campaigns to complete 100%, but I even challenge you to obtain each and every one of the hundreds of clothing items in the game and level them all up one by one. Surely this is a challenge worthy of your title. Better get started, you don't want a sequel to come out before you're done.
    ~sincerely
