Nintendo Land is a vibrant theme park-themed collection of mini-games showcasing the Wii U's unique capabilities. It offers a charming mix of solo experiences and riotous multiplayer attractions based on iconic Nintendo franchises. While some mini-games are more engaging than others, the overall package provides a fun and varied showcase of the console's potential, particularly for group play sessions.
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.

It felt like a combination of numerous NES-era games in one, in a way. It had roughly the level of depth and length of NES games, which I find quite impressive. I initially played the game only because it was there, but ended up liking it a lot. It also was a nice way to introduce my nephew to gaming when he was 4.
