Get access to a new world, features and collectibles, or play the Wii version of the game. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D has a multiplayer mode that lets you hoard bananas with your friends.
This is an excellent platformer for the 3DS due to the fact that you can play with the D-pad instead of having to use the Wiimote which was a major negative for the Wii version. The only drawback is that the 3DS has less FPS due to the less powerful 3DS, but it is still worth a purchase.

Control the waves as you hop from island to island, explore countless puzzles and meet interesting people, often very briefly, in Nintendo Selects Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
The Gamecube version of this game still holds up extremely well due to the cel shaded graphics. However, the Wii U version really makes the Gamecube version look really outdated. Playing with the gamepad is fun and the creators made the tedious sailing elements much more bearable in this version.

Amazing graphics and excellent music. Controls are tight and if you die, it doesn't feel cheap...feels more like it was your fault for not doing better which is always important in a platformer. Price cannot be beat with GCU.
