A lot of 3rd party Wii U games are highly inferior, but there's still some diamonds in the rough if you search for them that have had genuine effor put into them. Sonic Racing is on par with the other versions, and has some extra multiplayer modes along with off TV play. Skylanders Giants got a 1080p touch up on Wii U, and has Gamepad features for off TV play, character stats, and mini games. Bit Trip Runner 2 iirc has the best loading times out of every version. I could go on, but there's still some good 3rd party multiplats with actual effort put into them. But we can't deny the downsides of games lacking their DLC (BLOPS 2, Injustice, NFSMW), and lower framerate. Hopefully these issues are solved if the Wii U picks up steam during the Holiday Season.
