Arguably one of the best systems to get CFW on, especially for Gamecube stuff

This. If you enjoy JRPG's then it's a must try. Story is nothing to write home about, but the combat and exploration are incredible. And it's one of the only Wii U games that hasn't been ported to the Switch.

The Wii version is a mirrored version of the GameCube version to make Link right handed.

TP HD is a remaster of the GameCube version.

Yep this, as far as we know it won't ever get remastered on the switch because it needs the Wii Pad.

CFW is custom firm ware by the way, allows you to perform emulation with the console.

There's also a number of QoL improvements, some under the hood fixes, the cave of trials, and a bunch more color splashed in. And I believe a heavy toning down of the piss-yellow filter the original game had

I mean, a lot of Wii U games did use the GamePad for a lot of things but they've ported most of them anyway without those features or changed how they function.

I definitely recommend XCX, WWHD, TPHD, etc that other people have mentioned that aren't on Switch. I personally thought the first Splatoon was probably the best Wii U game (and it's not on Switch as well) but there will soon be two sequels on Switch that are probably more worth playing now. If you've never played Yoshi's Woolly World on 3DS when they ported it, I really liked it on Wii U (and it's also not on Switch).

Sure, but the problem is that to port XCX to the switch would be expensive as shit because it would require them to reprogram the gamepad functionality and XCX is just a huge game in general. It's really a wonder how they managed to put all that on the Wii U.

Yeah, I mean obviously it would take a lot of work to just menu-ize it and it's pretty obvious they're not going to do it because they most likely don't think the amount of work would be worth it, but I'm just saying, they could if they wanted lol. It's not really like impossible, like I said, a lot of other games changed functionality.

If youve never played the Metroid Prime games, the trilogy is available on the eShop. Youd just need to find a way to upload funds to it.

I think they're going to look real closely to how well XC3 sells to see if it would be worth to port it. It's a great game, not that great like how some people here put it, but it's definitely a game I would reccomend to people that want to play a JRPG that tries to appeal to western gamers and works.

Slim pickings from my local Bookmans and a shop called Fallout Games. Got Mario Galaxy 2 from Fallout and found Wind Waker HD and Smash Bros Wii U from Bookmans. They wanted $130 for Metroid Prime Trilogy so Ill probably just get that digitally.
