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.

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.

Really great use of the Wii U gamepad, with the minigames being really fun and unique due to the different ways they use the gamepad, as well as the way they implemented multiplayer means this game is really great to play when you've got friends to play with. Just sucks my gamepad has horrible connection because half these games lose connection whilst playing as it relies so heavily on the gamepad, so my experience with this game isn't as good as it should be.
Big Nintendo Land defender over here. A lot of folks dunked on it for not being Wii Sports but I honestly think Nintendo Land is more of a proper game than Wii Sports was even if it's not as groundbreaking. I genuinely think Nintendo Land was a great launch title to show what the Wii U was capable of.
