We haven’t talked enough about the Wii U and the game that are still worth playing on the system. While the console may not have lived up to anyone’s expectations, there were still many great games worth sinking hours playing. With the Nintendo Switch being as popular as it is, it is no surprise the video game giant would port most of the Wii U’s library in some fashion to their hybrid device. There is still a handful of titles deserving to be brought over in some capacity and today, we take a moment to look at the ten best possible Wii U ports that should find their way to the Nintendo Switch.
10 – Rodea: The Sky Soldier
See Full List On Nintendo.fandom.com
We begin our list with a love letter to gaming while Rodea: The Sky Soldier was only really picked up by fans and collectors, it still has much to offer. The Wii version of the game was bundled with its Wii U counterpart and some will say that the non-HD project was the better experience, its HD variant was still enjoyable and a solid experience overall, even if it looked dated compared to most other titles of its time. The issue in bringing over Rodea: The Sky Soldier wouldn’t necessarily be because nobody wants this game on the Switch, but finding somebody to publish it and bring it over would most likely be the biggest hurdle, but if anything, a quick Kickstarter campaign could easily make this all work out.

9 – Star Fox: Zero / Star Fox: Guard
Really talking about stretches beyond stretches here… Star Fox: Zero was an abysmal experience on the Wii U and that is putting it nicely. The issues don’t stem from the art direction or the fact that this Wii U title was basically a remake of a remake, but the idea of having its absurd controls caused this flight-fighting sim to crash and burn even before it arrived. So, why would Nintendo even look into bringing this failed project to the Switch? Well, much like everything else in life, everyone and everything deserves a second chance, and even if Star Fox: Zero and its bundled experiment with Star Fox: Guard is brought to the Switch, it will still find a way to sell. If Nintendo decides to go even further and fix the controls, then at least the game will be playable and worth bringing over.
8 – Sonic Lost World
To think that SEGA tried to save the Wii U sales by bringing over some Sonic games was definitely not the greatest business decision, but what came of it was at least one competent 3D title for the blue blur. Sonic Lost Worlds is considered one of the best 3D Sonic games, (not too hard to achieve) but still had some issues and the fact that for the longest time, the HD title was solely on the Wii U making it quite a hard sale for anyone. It was recently brought over to PC, but having it reintroduced on the Nintendo Switch could prove to be a big benefit for SEGA if they really wanted to port the title over by offering one of their best 3D Sonic games in quite some time on a more popular device.
7 – Paper Mario: Color Splash
Splish! Splash! It is time to go back and play Paper Mario: Color Splash. All bad jokes aside, the first HD entry to the Paper Mario series was one of the better ones in quite some time and Mario’s recent cardboard cutting adventure was somewhat lacklustre in comparison. This should be a very easy and none problematic port and adding to the Nintendo Switch’s library will never be a problem. Just the Mario branding alone makes this all the much easier, and we do expect Nintendo do bring this title at some point to the Switch, even it means we are stuck waiting for some time.
6 – NES Remix / NES Remix 2
Why is this not already on the Nintendo Switch as part of the online service? They’ve already added online connectivity and different modes to a bunch of older games and seeing bundles that are literally just that sitting on an older device seems completely wasteful of resources and potential. Now, the argument can be made that the ideas of NES Remix Pack and NES Remix 2 have already been utilized in other entries, which is a fair point but just having it incorporated as a download in part with the barebone Nintendo Switch Online service seems far too easy and just a waste overall for not making it part of the online experience.
5 – Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
The Wii U had many failures, but its biggest was not being able to promote its unique experiences and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is definitely one of those titles. The game utilized the Gamepad terrifically and its sense of dread was something that has been missing from most Nintendo consoles up to this point. This issue persists on the Nintendo Switch as there is a big lack of horror or thriller experience to play through, but if Koei Techmo and Nintendo can come together and rework some of the controls, then you may have a quiet million-copy seller on your hands.
4 – The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD
Ironically, one of the most acclaimed and beloved Zelda entries isn’t even the best Wii U game to bring over to the Nintendo Switch. Sure, the original The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on the GameCube and the Wii was a cut above anything most of us had seen to that point, but its HD counterpart lacks a bit of craftsmanship to really drive home that same sense of wonder and mystic this classic had to offer. Still, a tremendous game that deserves all of its praises, but there is another Zelda game worth bringing over before this one. (more on that in a little while)
3 – Yoshi’s Woolly World
A them with most Wii U titles back when it was Nintendo’s premiere console is the number of 3DS ports due to the lack of a large install base for the company’s home console. By doing so, many games were given updates and revisions for Nintendo’s handheld which delivered on either a similar or better experience. While Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World was a cute feature, it didn’t better the overall experience as it should have had. Instead, many are left with the most adorable amiibo’s sitting on their shelves or TV stands only to look great when guests come over, but an easy Nintendo Switch port of either the Wii u or 3DS version will quickly solve that problem and give fans a reason to return to this charming adventure.
2 – Xenoblade Chronicles X
This would be a major undertaking for Nintendo and its talented group and Monolift Soft to port over, but they have worked their magic before with the Xenoblade Chronicles: Definite Edition, so who is to say that they can’t take a stab on this title as well. Xenoblade Chronicles X was such a major and vast game at the time that to even play the full extend of what this JRPG had to offer you needed an external hard drive to support this Wii U classic. It also utilized the Gamepad to its fullest potential and it is one of the few titles that are best with it that control set up. We are even unsure of how this could even work, but if there is any company that we trust to even attempt this it is the minds at Monolith Soft.
1 – The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
We do a terrific job at foreshadowing… If you haven’t had the opportunity to play on a Wii U you may not be aware of its best single-player experience and second-best Zelda game. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD was and is one of the best re-worked titles that Nintendo has ever published as not only the entire experience in-tacked with a massive upgrade in its charming visuals, but it also offers many improvements throughout its campaign to deliver the best that the title has to offer. With the Zelda 35th Anniversary just around the corner, we do hope that this classic experience is part of Nintendo’s plans as The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD would surely be one of the most sought after titles that the Switch could offer.
