10 Incredible Video Games Released On Terrible Consoles

3. Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

Pikmin 3 being locked away on the Wii U might be tragic, but the fact that Super Mario 3D World has yet to receive a Nintendo Switch port is borderline sacrilege.

In addition to being the best-reviewed exclusive on the platform, the gloriously entertaining platformer is the Wii U's second best-selling game, and it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Nintendo would port it to the Switch as soon as the smoke had cleared surrounding Super Mario Odyssey.

And yet, even as Odyssey's two-year anniversary fast approaches, fans are left sifting through dubious rumours and "reports" that Super Mario 3D World might finally get ported to a platform that, you know, people actually bought.

Even if it wasn't quite the game-changer that Odyssey was, it nevertheless proved to be a thoroughly creative, visually stunning and ingeniously designed entry into Nintendo's flagship franchise.

That so few have had the chance to play it because the game had the misfortune of launching on a dud console is absolutely criminal. Again, Nintendo - do you like money or not?
