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.
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
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.

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.

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.
