content: Third party has been pretty nonexistent since the Wii U launched, a couple of good ports (Arkham City, Deus Ex, Splintercell) and some pure crud (ME3 was $60 when the trilogy sold less elsewhere). It has the definitive version of Rayman Legends, which was originally exclusive like ZombiU. There are a few third party exclusives. Lego City Undercover is fun besides the infuriating loading times, and Sonic Boom is so horrible and broken it should be made an example of how not to make games.  RPGs are more barren than I like. At least Xenoblade Chronicles X is quite long. There's also backwards compatibility for some of the Wii's lesser known gems; the Last Story, Pandora's Tower, and Xenoblade Chronicles (can't recommend enough).  To simply say what the console offers is upgraded versions of the SNES is incorrect. Obviously there's Splatoon. Pikmin 3 is good (use wiimote and nunchuk). Bayonetta 2 is exclusive. The Wonderful 101 is another Platinum exclusive. SM3DW is an excellent mash of the traditional 2d Mario in a 3d setting. There are some extremely good games on the console, but it's unlikely to remain supported as a platform for anymore first party games after Zelda U (not Twilight Princess hd) releases. Nintendo definitely needs to do better with the NX.
