20 Best Wii U Games Of All Time

11. New Super Luigi U

New Super Luigi U never stood a chance. It was released on a system that nobody brought and is the latest entry in a franchise that everybody was long sick of by the time the game released. The thing is though, New Super Luigi U is one of the best 2D platformers Nintendo has ever made.

A standalone expansion to the much less interesting albeit still technically good game New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U puts you in control of the better Mario brother as you explore levels that you only have 100 seconds to beat and are all incredibly difficult.

This leads to something more similar to Super Meat Boy than the rest of the New Super Mario Bros. series as you retry bite-sized levels over and over again until you've mastered them.

By not worrying about making the game easily playable by children they managed to make a really cool title that is easily the best Luigi game to come out of the Year of Luigi.

Like most games on this list though, the Wii U version is no longer the definitive way to play as New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe for the Switch exists and that has New Super Luigi U in it.

Has a degree in video game development. Is kinda addicted to video games, television, and films. Probably needs some help, to be honest.
