Number 10 is Yoshi's Woolly World
this game is all about masterful platforming goodness!
I mean.. who doesn't like being transported into a world made of cute and cuddly wool?
Anyway, this game shines brightest with collectibles system
beautiful, captivating setting easy-to-learn gameplay...
and most of all, the unlockable S-rank levels.. which gives veteran players more than enough
reasons to enjoy this game.

On 9th place is Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
Donkey Kong is at it again!
and it's your task to guide mario characters to safety.
It works like a level editor for the most part, and because of this, some players complain
about too much time invested into designing rather than actually playing.
But who cares? that's what makes this game great!
it has a do-it-yourself puzzle approach.
creation sharing.
and can be deceptively hard.
it has a playscore of 8.3
Number 8 is LEGO Jurassic World
Apparently none could argue with LEGO's skill in making puzzle adventure games.
Even I was impressed by how they took a suspense movie franchise and turn it into a fun, family
friendly game, while staying true to its core.
it has great humor impressive recreation of all Jurassic Park
movies.
and the best of all..
You can play as Dinos!!
How cool is that?!
it receives a playscore of 8.4
Ranked 7th is Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
One of the most unique platformers I've played.
Although, some control issues may put you off at first, the game and the setting quickly
sets up the mood back.
Honestly though, this game.. is best played in short bursts.
it boasts colorful art designs a solid multiplayer.
and unique platforming.
Just...
don't invest too much time in it in one play session, as it becomes repetitive quite fast.
a playscore of 8.4
Number 6 is Sword & Soldiers 2
A deceptively simple game with great depth.
Don't be fooled by its cartoony style, this game will impress you once you get-the-hang
of it.
So basically, its all about gathering resources, summoning troops, and ruling the land.
However, the real challenge lies on resource management, and is the determining factor
on whether you're a casual or a pro.
great hand-drawn style.
easy to grasp gameplay. and has a good strategy depth.
a playscore of 8.5
Fifth on the list is OlliOlli
If you're a fan of infinite runners and skateboarding games, then this one will keep you entertained.
This Nintendo Wii U and 3DS cross-buy game is one of the first to support this feature.
it boasts an addictive gameplay.
an upbeat soundtrack and a unique ''trick'' system.
However, due to its uniqueness.
It can be very difficult at times, especially on tougher challenges.
OlliOlli receives a playscore of 8.5
Number 4 is Trine Enchanted Edition
To tell you the truth, I was not really excited about this.I've already played Trine 2, and
this game is like a remastered version of its prequel.
but to my surprise, it.. was.. really fun!
As usual, the game offers one of the most complete platforming gameplay so far.
beautiful graphics.
smart puzzles fluid animations.
and a fun multiplayer!
Platforming at its finest!

On second place is Don't Starve: Giant Edition

wii u is making so much fuss!
Imagine minecraft, but with a Tim Burton feel to it.
the game's atmosphere is great.
the gameplay?
- immersive.. exploration and survival gets you going for hours.
however, I found the difficulty to be quite daunting, for first time players.
It receives a playscore of 9.3
And the best New Wii U game is Splatoon
Finally!
a shooter that Wii U gamers can be proud of.. and man, it plays awesome!
The concept behind it is so cool, unique, and most importantly - ''non-violent''
Proving that shooting games doesn't have to be all bloody to be engaging.
ingenious!
easy-to-grasp! and EXTREMELY colorful!
Fair warning though..
don't play this game in the late evenings, because it's soo addicting, it may induce
sleeplessness.
You've been warned.
