Despite being labeled as a commercial failure, the Nintendo Wii U console had a lot of things going for it, including an incredible catalog of hit games. The Wii U made its debut in 2012 and was around until the launch of the Nintendo Switch in 2017. During those five years, impressive titles that have left a longstanding mark on the gaming community were released, including ones such as Super Mario 3D World and Shovel Knight. Others, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, initially started on the Wii U and have found a home on the Nintendo Switch as well.
