Don’t listen to the naysayers – there are plenty of great games available for the Wii U, and most of the best are games you can’t play anywhere else thanks to the console’s one-of-a-kind control scheme. Nintendo also is home to some of video games’ most well-loved characters and worlds, so there’s plenty of reason to own their latest home console.
In fact, 2015 is shaping up to be what looks like the Wii U’s strongest year for games yet. Whether it’s chasing ghosts using the Gamepad as a supernatural camera, returning to the vast world of Xenoblade, or creating your very own Mario stages, the Wii U’s lineup this year offers something for just about everyone. Except for people who hate having fun, I guess.
