Summary

• Many Wii U games have been ported to Nintendo Switch, but some notable titles are still missing.
• While titles like Star Fox Zero are absent due to GamePad functionality, other games, like Wind Waker HD, seem to be missing for no reason.

The Wii U is one of the great tragedies of video game history. It was such an ambitious idea with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a fantastic game library, but sadly, it became Nintendo's worst-selling home console. Thankfully,🌳 the Switch was sort of a second chance for the W🐻ii U, porting over many of its titles for newcomers to play.

Almost every major Wii U game is available on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch as an enhanced edition or a straight-up por🔴t. However, several notable ones are still missing, some ❀for a good reason and some for seemingly no reason at all. The following titles, in particular, are nowhere to be seen.

8 ☂ Star Fox Zero ♒

Back To The Series' Roots

Star Fox Zero attempts to recapture the magic of Star Fox 64 while introducing some bold new gameplay mechanics. The biggest addition is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the GamePad functionality, which serves as a first-person view f🔯or more accurate aiming. While the controls come with a steep learning curve, the game is surprisingly fun once you get the h♏ang of it.

𒅌Sadly, the GamePad mechanic is what prevents it from coming to Switch. The gameplay would need to be entirely reworked, which is unlikely given the game's low sales numbers. Sorry, Star Fox fans. This one isn't leaving the Wii U any time soon.

7 Yoshi's Woolly World

The Cutest Platformer Ever

Yoshi's Woolly World is an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:often overlooked 2D platformer made by the studio behind Kirby's Epic Yarꦡn. Set in a world made of arts and craft💝s, the story follows a brave little Yarn Yoshi on an adventure to save his friends from Baby Bowser.

Everything from the adorable art style to the well-hidden secrets perfec♚tly captures what made the series famous in the fi💧rst place. While it was ported to 3DS in 2017, there's still no sign of it on Switch. Hopefully, this charming adventure will return sometime in the future.

6 🐬 ꦫ Nintendo Land

An Excellent Party Game

Nintendo Land was designed to show off what the GamePad could꧑ do, and the result is one of the best multiplayer Wii U games. You and up to four friends explore an amusement park filled with fun attractions, including Metroid-themed laser tag and a Luigi's Mansion haunted house.

Tragica🧔lly, Nintendo Land's biggest strength is also what keeps it stuck on the Wii U. The game simply wouldn't work without the GamePad, so a Switch port is out of the question. It's a shame, given how fun it is to play with friends.

5 Paper Mario:𝐆 Color🎐 Splash

The Plumber's Most Colorful RPG

Paper Mario: Color Splash wasn't the return to the series' roots fans had hoped for, but 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:it's still a fun RPG worth playing at least once. This time, the famo♐us plumber must travel across Prism Island to stopꦐ Bowser from draining it of color.

While the gameplay is a bit more linear than you'd expect, the hilarious dialogue, gorgeous visuals, and excellent soundtracඣk should keep you entertained from start🍬 to finish. Just be prepared to dust off your old Wii U if you want to play it.

4 𓂃 ♛ Pushmo World

An Underrated Puzzle Game

Pushmo World is one of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:most underrated Nintendo games ever. This charming puzzler st🌟ars a cat named Mallo, who must climb to the top of various towers by pushing and pulling blocks to create a path to the roof.

Of all the games trapped on the Wii U, this one is arguably the most deserving of a port. I🌜t was one of the many digital-exclusive titles that vanished into thin air when t🐼he Wii U eShop closed. Sadly, neither it nor its sequels made it to Switch.

3 Kirby And T🗹he Rainbow Curse

An Unexpected Sequel

A sequel to Kirby: Canvas Curse was probably the last thing Wii U owners expected, yet Nintendo surprised long-time fans with Kirby and the Rainbow Curse in 2015. The gameplay involves drawing lines on the GamePad to gu🐓ide the pink puffball through each level. You can even grab up to three friends for local co-op.

There's a lot to love about Rainbow Curse, most notably its gorgeous claymation-inspired art style, which would've looked even bette𒈔r on the Switch. Unfortunately, the game's emphasis on touch controls is likely what keeps it from being ported.

2 Sonic & All-St♓ars Racing Transformed

Kart-Racing At Its Finest

Tired of Mario Kart? Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is an excellent alternative. Get behind the wheel as your favorite Sega character and speed through icꩵonic levels from games like Sonic Heroes and Super Monkey Ball. The catch? Your car can turn into a boat or plane, dep🧸ending on the environment.

Overall, it's a solid racer with a diverse ch🐓aracter roster, a fantastic multiplayer mode, and plenty of innovative ideas. It's unclear why it never🎐 came to Switch, especially since it was ported to many other platforms, including Windows and 3DS.

1 ♛ The Legend Of꧙ Zelda: The Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD

Why Aren't These Here Yet?

These two are the most baffling omissions f๊rom the Switch's library. Zelda fans have been asking for ports of Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD for ages, and it's easy to see why. Both remasters are considered the definitive way to play each game✅.

Wind Waker HD's updated graphics are absolutely stunning, and the Swift Sail makes exploration way more enjoyable. Meanwhile, Twilight Princess HD adds a bunch of much-needed gameplay tweaks, including a streamlined version of the Tears of Light side quests. Sadly, you'll need to dig out the Wii U to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:revisit these excellent remasters.
