Wii U for Dummies?
- Thread starter AzBat
- Start date
Don't see myself playing it unless it's a controller game, but thanks for the suggestion.
Didn't realize Nintendo had a newer Yoshi game, but it looks like it's for the Wii U. Too bad, looked really neat. :/

ha my bad , i kept seeing wii u and thought you bought a wii u. Its been ages since I've had a wii. I think i played the least amount of games on that systems
Not a fan of RPGs or anything turn-based, which pretty much means Japanese titles are probably a no-go. BTW, I loathed Monster Hunter World. Just played it for the Game Pass Quests. If it was more action & adventure with no RPG I probably would have liked it.
Anyway, this will mainly be the kids system. Wife will probably test it out(Zelda & Animal Crossing), but I don't expect to play on it at all.

So I guess Xenoblade Chronicles is right out? 
No multiplats means no Lego games? Kirby’s Epic Yarn might be good for young kids, and it’s 2 player. Maybe try Boom Blox / Boom Blox Bash Party, Order Up!, Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection, We Ski / We Ski & Snowboard, or Zack & Wiki. Did Pikmin start out on the Wii?
Bomberman Land seems to include a classic Bomberman game.

when your wife tried zelda botw, also try it yourself. Its more "action adventure" than "RPG"

Kids can play Lego games on any of our Xbox systems. I own quite a few of them already. And yeah, Xenoblade Chronicles is out.
Your others are good. I think Kirby & Boom Blox would be cool for the kids. Doubt kids would go for pinball though. As for Pikmin, 1 & 2 originally started on Gamecube. They were ported to Wii but as digital games, but didn't release Pikmin 3 until Wii U. :/
BTW Zelda BOTW is a Wii U & Switch game.
Looks like a Wii U might still be in order.

yikes, i kept forgetting Wii U is different to Wii.
btw if you have gamepass, gamepass can be shared and used at the same time for xbox console and PC
