Since its launch in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has redefined the video game landscape, becoming Nintendo’s best-selling home video game console (adapting some first-party games from its predecessor). However, before the Switch, Nintendo launched the Wii U, a system that did not meet commercial expectations and criticism due to its limited game library and design.
The Nintendo Switch, in many ways, represents a evolution of the idea that Nintendo tried to implement with the Wii U. As a result, Nintendo has brought several of its predecessor’s most notable titles to the new system, giving these games a new chance on a more successful platform. Here’s a detailed look at some of the first-party Wii U games that have been brought to the Nintendo Switch (Via gamerant.com):
