Talk:Wii U

Subpage idea, since there's not much in the way of Homebrew games for the Wii U unlike the Wii or Vita.

DS Games that are best on Wii U
''Criteria: Must not use the gamepad screen as the main screen. Must not split the game between two screens. Must look good on the TV The gamepad must be used in a way that makes playing the game on the Wii U compelling. The game itself must be compelling enough that a Wii U release would have been well recieved.''

Chrono Trigger Everything aside from Dialogue and the main game is on the gamepad screen, meaning you can enjoy the great pixel art without any of the HUD elements getting in the way. This makes for a more immersive experience. The DS version has all of the additional features the modern release has, making this one of the best ways to play this game.

Dragonball Z: Attack of the Saiyans Monolith Soft developed DBZ JRPG with TONS of soul. Give they later developed the Xenoblade games and got bought by Nintendo outright, this gem is perfect choice for the Wii U VC. The pixel art looks crisp on an HDTV, with the battle UI, map and other information on the gamepad screen. The animations are extremely well done, on par with games like Metal Slug in my opinion. All of these things make the Wii U the best place to play this.

Metal Slug 7

Metal Slug 7 is the only Metal Slug game not released on console or arcade, locked to the Nintendo DS. While the gamepad screen isn't used for much beyond a simple map, Metal Slug 7 is best played on Wii U because it's high paced, twitch reaction game play and gorgeous pixel art are much better enjoyed on a TV.  Flower, Sun, and Rain: Murder and Mystery in Paradise

Grasshopper Manufacturing game originally released on PS2, no english translation exists for that version. Was rereleased on the DS in 2009 in english. The game has highly stylized low poly graphics and extremely stylish menus and other stuff. Main action is on the TV, menus and text on the gamepad screen. If this game was released on the Virtual Console I think it would have gotten a lot of attention.

The Legendary Starfy

This game looks absolutely stunning on an HD TV, the low fidelty 3D of the DS mixes extremely well with pixel art. Reminds me of games like Tomba on PSone. Gamepad is used for everything that isn't the main action, which is exactly how it should be.
