I'm curious, but still on the fence about Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Citizens of Earth, Oddworld: New and Tasty and Stranger's Wrath (never played the Oddworld series, but heard good things), Pier Solar and the Great Architects, Splatoon (girlfriend and son both love Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare in spite of my strong distaste for anything bearing the EA logo, this looks like a similar style of game), and Xenoblade Chronicles X (I've never played Xenoblade, but I hear people love it).
How about you guys? What games do you have in your Wii U collection currently and what upcoming titles are you looking forward to?
Super Mario 3D world has a mini-game from which Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is based. Obviously, CT:TT will expand on the mini game, but if you're on the fence about it, you can play the mini-game and find out if it's your kind of thing (or your son's.)
I'm planning to get myself a Wii-U after the holidays, and on my list is Bayonetta 2, the Wonderful 101, Smash 4 U, Zombi U, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, and a few others.
I've already played W101 and it's fun, though there's a hell of a learning curve.
Zombi U is a good rogue-like horror.
Bayonetta comes with both 1&2 (if you're in the US) which is good because I missed out on it.
Smash is always great. I already have Smash 4 3DS, so I know what to expect.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a sequel to Canvas Curse, which is (in my humble opinion) one of the best uses of the stylus on the DS, if not the best.
Now, depending on how old your son is, I wouldn't recommend Bayonetta or Zombi U for him, but of you're gonna get some use out of it, I say go for them. The others are (or should be) quality games any Wii U owner should have.
