We highlight the best-looking, best-playing games that never got a port to Switch.
The Wii U’s online services are on their last legs.
The obvious place to start here are the two Zelda remasters for Wii U -Wind WakerHD andTwilight Princess HD.
Even with the original geometric meshes in place, the game holds up brilliantly at 1080p.
Twilight Princess HD is particularly pricey, clocking in at over $100 even for a used copy.
Once the eShop is closed, these games will become prohibitively expensive for many players.
This is one of my favourite Wii U titles and is relatively cheap on the eShop too.
The game runs at 720p 60fps with some form of post-process anti-aliasing.
Rainbow Curse is one of the best-looking Wii U exclusive titles, and it’s well worth picking up.
The GamePad integration here is really impressive - it’s hard to imagine the game without it.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is another eShop-exclusive title that requires heavy use of the GamePad.
Gameplay revolves around using the Wii U GamePad as an in-game camera aimed using the controller’s gyroscope.
The game has been ported to other platforms since, although it really feels designed specifically around GamePad use.
Content-wise, it includes all the tracks from Neo and adds six new courses as well.
It’s just a shame that the eShop itself is essentially being turned off.
