The Wii U may be the weakest link in terms of sheer content, but Nintendo proved one thing. Its core franchises are running stronger than ever on the system. Call the Wii U a Nintendo only machine if you must, there were some heavy hitters this year.
Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
Super Smash Bros. remains one of the best fighters around. It is the only fighting game with nearly every character recognizable by almost any gamer. The Wii U update adds more characters, better graphics, and overall a better-balanced game. The Wii U had a few solid games this year, but this one takes it home.
