Ah that is very true. Could possibly run a few of them on DC as well if they were converted over to PSX.

You never know. Clearly the AW to DC stuff this year has shown us anything seems possible

The last couple of months I've actually been hunting for and expanding my WiiU collection for the system's best games (and some oddities). There's definitely some great games on the WiiU, but, looking at my WiiU shelf, it severely pales in comparison to the Dreamcast in terms of the amount of great games.

The WiiU https://roms-download.com/roms/nintendo-wii is missing almost entire genres like fighting games (outside 'Tekken Tag 2' and 'Pokken Tournament') and shooters of all types; first, third and shmup (and other consoles beat the WiiU in performance for games like 'Call of Duty'). Likewise, all but a few are on Switch now, and in many cases, with better versions.

My top ten, in no particular order:

- Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (also on Switch)
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (also on Switch)
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut (also on Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
- Mario Kart 8 (also on Switch)
- Bayonetta 1 (also on Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One/Series X/S, PS3, PS4, PC) and Bayonetta 2 (also on Switch)
- Rayman Legends (also on Switch, Xbox 360/Series X/S, PSVita, PS3, PS4, PC)
- Shovel Knight (also on...well almost everything else)
- LEGO City Undercover (also on Switch, Xbox One/Series X/S, PS4, PC)
- Assassin's Creed IV (also on Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One/Series X/S, PS3, PS4, PC)
- Need for Speed Most Wanted U (also on Xbox 360/Series X/S, PS3, PC)

I personally don't think the entries WiiU Mario are the best Mario entries in either 2D or 3D (and they're also improved on Switch). 'Super Mario Maker 2' beats the WiiU original outside of using the Gamepad. The same can be said about 'Splatoon 2' and 'Splatoon.' The other 'Zelda' releases are good, but are remakes/remasters. 'Smash Bros. Ultimate' beats the WiiU version, in my opinion.

When you get down to it, the list is actually quite small. Still solid, but short. But I still enjoy delving into the WiiU's library.

To each his own. Personally, I love Wii Mario. You may not fully appreciate the game

Considering Nintendo themselves changed the speed Mario actually walks for today's Switch release of 'Super Mario 3D World' (which, for the record, I am picking up today myself) and how long you can climb in the cat suit, I think they'd agree it's not their best. And that was my gripe with '3D World:' time became a detrimental factor in the game, when it never has in any other Mario game unless someone really dilly-dallies.

Edit: Also, you said "Wii" Mario, not "WiiU." In which case I agree, since I think 'Super Mario Galaxy' is better than '3D World.'

Sometimes I feel like I advocate for this game and series so much Tarsier should be sending me a paycheck...spoiler...they arent

Curious who has played these games? I rarely hear them mentioned which bums me out as they are some of the most visually and thematically interesting and amazing games I've played in a long time

Yeah, that Pikmin game is really cool.
I haven't played Wonderful 101 yet though, but I hope to play it.
