After 8 years, this still has no right to be this damn good.
Maybe it's my rose-tinted nostalgia goggles, but playing this with my friends while in school was so much fun, especially the Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin Boss Rush, and most certainly the Luigi's Mansion and Mario Chase. Played it again now, and it's still so much fun.
The single-player is aight, tho.

A really cool tech demo for the Wii U. All the competitive games are horribly unbalanced and a couple of the singleplayer games are misses, but the good ones make up for it. As far as console launch titles go, I at least like this one better than Wii Sports.
Also, did you know the singleplayer games actually have multiplayer built in? If you have a Wiimote, you can impact the game differently from the Gamepad player. Try it out sometime.

This game is really underrated. It's far from being as good as wii sports, but it's a rock-solid tech demo for the Wii U Gamepad. It's more complex than Wii Sports, being less arcady and more complex.This makes it not as enjoyable as its illustrious predessecor. Still, one of the most overlooked games of the early 2010s.
One of the more fun titles on the Wii U that holds up the most for me behind Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Maker. This was the one I played the most with friends that came over to my house or with my siblings. The Mario hide and seek game was one of my favorites and I loved running around the map trying to corner the Mario player. The Luigi's Mansion one is fun as the ghost, and I enjoyed the Animal Crossing game as well because you have to divide and conquer. This game holds up even better now because the Switch didn't have a good party game like this one.
I do agree with most people that say the single player games aren't as fun. The Donkey Kong game is the only one I really played by myself, and otherwise I would only play with other people. But I still think that with that being said, it is one of the better Wii U titles.

I remember this being a staple for couch co-op whenever I had friends over in grade school. Not many games were as fun as Nintendo Land with multiple people who didn't often play video games. It's an extremely polished collection of minigames, while not as iconic as Wii Sports; I'd say Nintendo Land is a rival in quality as far as console pack-in titles go.
Highlight for me was always the Luigi's Mansion game. The Wii U made screen cheating fun.

Honestly this game was super underappreciated. Really fun game modes, and the multiplayer was awesome. The best two modes were definitely the mario chase and the animal crossing ones. I played a ton of those with my friends. Even the solo games were pretty solid. Need a sequel for this game on the switch.
