With the Nintendo Switch launching next Friday and games like Horizon Zero Dawn for PS4 which many are predicting will be one of the year’s top sellers releasing next week, the stalwart Wii U that was home to some legitimately engaging games in spite of largely lacklustre sales will be sailing off into the distance to be remembered as an odd step in Nintendo’s unique console history. In honour of our comrade of the last few years, Game Usagi presents a list of our top 5 exclusive Wii U titles that deserve to be played and remembered not for their sales, but for the joy they can still bring even as other fancier Nintendo hardware is shortly set to take the stage.

Nintendo Switch Unveiled, Launching March 2017
Thursday, October 20th, 2016https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI
Nintendo showed off the first teaser trailer and shared some details about their Nvidia-powered hybrid home console with us for the first time. For most appearances it seems that the majority of rumours were true, it seems to act like a portable Wii U in a slim tablet design with removable side controllers called Joy-Con that can be used attached to the system, one in each hand, or attached to a middle base to act more as a classic controller. There will also be a Switch Pro controller available that looks more or less like an Xbox 360 controller. Some third parties you don’t normally see are involved already and Skyrim (Special Edition perhaps?) was shown running on the system.
Here are some high-res images of the system, logo, and a list of third parties already working on games. We’ll let you know if any more substantial details arise about the exciting new platform still due out in March 2017 and launching with Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
