Super Mario 3D World: Some of later levels can be difficult (Especially the special/extra worlds or trying to get every star/sticker) but another game that I think you guys could go through and hopefully not run into too many walls.Mario Kart 8: Easy to ease your significant other through by starting at 50cc and working your way up as she gets more comfortable with tracks and controls.I have spent many hours playing this with friends and the Wii U version is the superior (and originally planned only) version of this game. It has great co-op and again an awesome soundtrack. "One more thing" (said in Jackie Chan Adventures Uncle-voice, if anyone gets the reference), in terms of co-op games to recommend for the Wii U, you should definitely check out Rayman Legends. I splurged myself yesterday and also bought the Splatoon theme on my N3DS I just couldn't resist the song! It helps to avoid the concepts of sore winners/losers and everyone has a greater feeling of accomplishment when the team succeeds.įurthermore, hell yeah you should buy a Wii U for Splatoon, that game is great (I think my favorite part of it so far is the soundtrack)! I wholeheartedly commend your purchasing decision. I have utilized this strategy to great effect when playing with my younger nieces/nephews. That way it matters less if one person dies multiple times and if you both lose, you lost together and have the impetus to try again and beat the challenge as a team. For example, in Super Smash Bros., instead of fighting against each other, you can team up as a pair against tough CPU characters. One suggestion I would give when playing co-op with players that have less gaming experience is to utilize the Team functions of games. Just remember to make liberal use of the save/restore system in the dungeons. It's basically the proto-game, that contains everything that we see in games today.

My girlfriend recently finished A Link to the Past on the Virtual Console, after having hacked away at it for the better part of the year, and I can't recommend that game enough to people who need a primer in video games. Pikmin is super cool, though I don't imagine it being worth the price for the multiplayer alone. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate seems like it's a really good version of a Monster Hunter game, and looks pretty nice considering it's basically a Wii port, though I haven't played any online yet, and only about 20 hours of the singleplayer. As far as other must have games are concerned, Zombi U comes to mind, and if you're into action games I'd recommend Wonderful 101. It looks fantastic, and plays very well on the Gamepad too. I played Wind Waker first on the Wii U and it blew me away, so even if you played it back in the day it might interest you. I haven't really found anything as far as co-op, given that most co-op games tend to require quite similar skill levels from players in order to be fun, but Affordable Space Adventures seems really cool, and the asynchronous co-op could be easier to swallow than something like Super Mario World.
