Nintendo Land

Step into a vibrant virtual theme park that serves as the ultimate showcase for the Wii U’s unique capabilities, featuring 12 “attractions” based on Nintendo’s most beloved franchises. From the high-stakes stealth of Mario Chase to the tactical archery of The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, each mini-game utilizes the GamePad in clever ways, often pitting one player with the tablet against others using Wii Remotes in “asymmetric” multiplayer. You’ll find solo challenges like Donkey Kong’s Crash Course that test your precision using motion controls, alongside deep team-based quests that feel like bite-sized versions of full adventures. With its colorful aesthetic, catchy remixes of classic tunes, and a central plaza filled with unlockable prizes, it’s a brilliant social experience that perfectly demonstrates the magic of dual-screen gaming.
