20 Best Wii U Games Of All Time

2. Pikmin 3

The Pikmin series is weird. Every once in a while it'll pop up, give us one of the best games on the system that it's on and then go back into hibernation for ten odd years. Whilst all three main games are excellent, Pikmin 3 might just be the best of the trilogy.

You control Alph, Britanny, and Charlie as you explore a post-apocalyptic Earth in search for the fruit you'll need to stop your planet from starving to death.

To acquire these fruit you will need to use the Pikmin, a loveable species that by the end of the game you will have no reservations about throwing directly to their death. That's what Pikmin does to you, it makes you view these poor creatures as nothing but tools to help you achieve your goals.

When it comes to Pikmin, two new types have been introduced, the Rock Pikmin and the Winged Pikmin. These all have enough pros and cons to be a nice addition without making the previous Pikmin irrelevant.

Of course with the excellent Pikmin 3 Deluxe for the Switch, there's no need to go back to the Wii U to play this but still, Pikmin 3 is great, and the Wii U is great for giving it to us.
