I have a 1TB hdd on my Wii U and I'm only using it to play Wii and Gamecube games. Now I understand why the Wii U failed. There's simply no games worth playing.

There were good games, but most of them were ported

Because the console failed Nintendo didn't go whole hog making first party titles for the system - new horizons for example sold like mad on the switch but would have flopped on Wiiu because simply, no one owned a wiiu

- Silver Falls: White Inside its Umbra
- ZombiU
- Affordable Space Adventures
- Star Fox Zero
- Fast Racing Neo
- Splatoon
- Pushmo World

The Wii U doesn't have many exclusives left, but the ones it does have are definitely worth playing. ZombiU can be played elsewhere, but it doesn't have that "desperate survival" feel anywhere else than the Wii U because you're not managing two different displays at one time. Silver Falls: WIIU is a Wii U exclusive that released only a month before the eShop closed, so its kind of a "rare" game in its own right. Not super long, but very impressive.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, the only game in my catalog that played better on the Wii U. The gamepad made it so much better when fighting those crazy Japanese Ghosts. Kinda like Quasi-VR,.....almost.

Didn't even think of it. In my mind it's a Switch game which has a Wii U port. I know it's actually the other way round but I'm always going to associate it with the Switch because it was a launch title and one of the first Switch games I played.

Between Crazy Orders and Mission Mode, Smash for Wii U has much better single player than Smash Ultimate. Spirits Mode was three times longer than it should have been and just got repetitive.
This is the first time I've actually heard someone compliment singleplayer content in 4.
