This is a mini game collection that is pretty good actually. Single player not so much but playing zelda co-op, mario chase with 3 other people and 5 player luigis mansion is a blast. This game is slept on.

combines some of (where the HELL is kirby) nintendo's best franchises and turns them into adorable theme park attractions, solidifying its status by being a beacon for some of the best multiplayer in any game. period.

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.

the people who were excited to play this had parental controls on ds until 16

i dont hear people talk about this game enough


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.

Luigis haunted mansion and Mario chase carry this game HARD

playing this with friends is super fun actually

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.

honestly really good? there's some stinkers in the game selection but the highlights are insanely fun, especially the multiplayer ones. 5-player mario chase, luigi's mansion and metroid blast were all god-tier.

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.

HUGELY underrated party game with tons of charm and love

I don't even own this game, my friend does

Still, absolutely a blast at parties. All the minigames hit. Specifically the Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion games. We will always scream till we are hoarse because of how much fun we always have. I wish it were possible to port to Switch

Had no right to bang as hard as it did despite being a minigame collection tech demo. Ended up being one of the few games that showcased how fun the Wii U gamepad element can be, and one of the few games that really took advantage of the asymmetrical multiplayer

Just noticed that I wrote my review on the wrong Wii U party game. Whoops, anyways.
Played this a couple of times at my friend's house back in the day. It was fun but I just wish it had more minigames.

This game is so cool. The attractions can leave a bit to be desired, but are still tons of fun. They should make Nintendo Land real, amirite, guys?

you know what, it was a great game. i have so many memories playing this game with my sister. we completed almost every single thing there is to do in this, and there is a lot to do. i wouldn't play it again but it was a fun experience as a kid.

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.

Aside from Mario-favoring maps, pretty fun!

Has a ton of enjoyable minigames that are easy to wrap your head around and play with some buds. It’s a little saddening seeing how little this game is talked about anymore.

Absolutely loved DK’s Crash Course in particular. Trying to 100% that shit as a dumbass little kid was awesome


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.

Severely underrated Nintendo Title. This game is so much goofy fun.

Super underrated party game. Played this with my friends from 6th grade every time they came to my place. This is what the WiiU was MADE for.

Fun experience, reminds me of Wii Sports. Had some fun minigames with friends, and even some that were fun on your own. Shame that it is only available on a dead console.
