Big Nintendo Land defender over here. A lot of folks dunked on it for not being Wii Sports but I honestly think Nintendo Land is more of a proper game than Wii Sports was even if it's not as groundbreaking. I genuinely think Nintendo Land was a great launch title to show what the Wii U was capable of.

As the previous user said, "you had to be there". I spent some of the best gaming evening of my life playing Nintendo Land, it is a beautiful soulful game that still stands today as a proof that the Wii U was great. The Mario Chase and Luigi's Mansion minigames especially are genius.

One of my favorite Wii U games. I have so many memories from playing these games with my brother or friends. I would always play the Zelda one when with my brother because of how good he was at it (and I was just a dumb 5 year old or however old I was) but I would always play the pikmin and meteoroid alone. I loved the pikmin one but kinda hated the meteoroid one unless I was playing with someone else. And I would always play the Mario, animal crossing and especially the Luigi’s mansion one with my childhood friends. So many memories with this game, especially watching WiiLikeToPlay play this game. 5/5

If most games on the Wii U were this considerate of the console's quirks then the Nintendo Switch might not have ever come out.

deeply sad that this will probably never get a rerelease but it’s understandable. Regardless, super fun and unique


i dont hear people talk about this game enough

you know what, it was a great game. i have so many memories playing this game with my sister. we completed almost every single thing there is to do in this, and there is a lot to do. i wouldn't play it again but it was a fun experience as a kid.

Great party game, had fun playing some parts on my own and also some with both friends and family. My favourite games include: Metroid Blast, Octopus Dance, Mario Chase, and Pikmin Adventure.

combines some of (where the HELL is kirby) nintendo's best franchises and turns them into adorable theme park attractions, solidifying its status by being a beacon for some of the best multiplayer in any game. period.

Severely underrated Nintendo Title. This game is so much goofy fun.

I don't even own this game, my friend does

Still, absolutely a blast at parties. All the minigames hit. Specifically the Animal Crossing and Luigi's Mansion games. We will always scream till we are hoarse because of how much fun we always have. I wish it were possible to port to Switch

Luigis haunted mansion and Mario chase carry this game HARD

One of the more fun titles on the Wii U that holds up the most for me behind Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Maker. This was the one I played the most with friends that came over to my house or with my siblings. The Mario hide and seek game was one of my favorites and I loved running around the map trying to corner the Mario player. The Luigi's Mansion one is fun as the ghost, and I enjoyed the Animal Crossing game as well because you have to divide and conquer. This game holds up even better now because the Switch didn't have a good party game like this one.

I do agree with most people that say the single player games aren't as fun. The Donkey Kong game is the only one I really played by myself, and otherwise I would only play with other people. But I still think that with that being said, it is one of the better Wii U titles.

For the first Wii U game, this is a nice way of kicking off the console, and honestly pretty creative for going tour with their IPs.
I hope we get another game like it eventually, cause its very good.

a fun game to play with family every now and then

i really loved this game. tho one problem i had was when my little cousin screamed and cried at the luigis mansion game that was fucking funny

this game good maybe but i never had anyone to play . my mom say no and my dad say no . my fish also say no . my fish also die 2 week later . so sad .

A great pack-in title featuring different types of minigames in a Nintendo theme park environment to ultimately showcase the features of the (then) recently released Wii U console.

As with any minigame collection, some are better than others but for the most part they were fun. The same concept applied to the Wii U specific features, with the Ninja-star throwing minigame being one of the best implementations of the game pad. Overall, a fun package and a nice way of testing the Wii U system with friends.

I remember this being a staple for couch co-op whenever I had friends over in grade school. Not many games were as fun as Nintendo Land with multiple people who didn't often play video games. It's an extremely polished collection of minigames, while not as iconic as Wii Sports; I'd say Nintendo Land is a rival in quality as far as console pack-in titles go.
Highlight for me was always the Luigi's Mansion game. The Wii U made screen cheating fun.

A really cool tech demo for the Wii U. All the competitive games are horribly unbalanced and a couple of the singleplayer games are misses, but the good ones make up for it. As far as console launch titles go, I at least like this one better than Wii Sports.

Also, did you know the singleplayer games actually have multiplayer built in? If you have a Wiimote, you can impact the game differently from the Gamepad player. Try it out sometime.

Nintendo please for the love of god, find some way to port these mini games to the Switch. Maybe everyone can use their phones as the gamepad somehow? They are too good to let die on that unfairly loathed console.

Fun experience, reminds me of Wii Sports. Had some fun minigames with friends, and even some that were fun on your own. Shame that it is only available on a dead console.

It felt like a combination of numerous NES-era games in one, in a way. It had roughly the level of depth and length of NES games, which I find quite impressive. I initially played the game only because it was there, but ended up liking it a lot. It also was a nice way to introduce my nephew to gaming when he was 4.

The reason I bought a Wii U. THIS IS THE BEST MULTIPLAYER EXPIRENCE I'VE EVER HAD!!


hell fucking yeah nintendo land

very fun experience with a good chunk of content you can do both singleplayer and with friends

banger party game, carries our drinking evenings

Super underrated party game. Played this with my friends from 6th grade every time they came to my place. This is what the WiiU was MADE for.

I pretty much only played the Mario Chase and Luigi's Mansion games. They were super fun and really showcased cool uses of the game pad.
