All Nintendo Wii U eShop Digital Exclusives & Digital-Only Games

With Nintendo announcing the Nintendo 3DS & Nintendo Wii U eShop closures on March 2023 (after May 23, 2022, and until August 29, 2022, you will only be able to use funds added to your account through the Nintendo site or through Nintendo Switch’s eShop. After August 29, 2022, you won’t be able to buy any games or DLCs, and can only download & redeem previously purchased content).

This list aims to help you discover all digital games that you can still buy from the Wii U eShop, grouped by Wii U digital exclusives (games that only released in Wii U, and only in a digital format), and Wii U digital-only games (that still released in other platforms, but have no physical release on the Wii U).

Most of these titles are made by small indie developers, while a few are first-party games. Unfortunately, a lot of these titles will be lost for good after the Nintendo Wii U eShop closure, and users will only be able to rely on modding their systems or using a PC Wii U emulator along with ROMs in order to play them.

Please keep in mind that this list is not complete, as we are slowly including any Wii U games that “fit the bill” from our database of Wii U games.

Wii U Digital Exclusives

The following games have been released exclusively on the Nintendo Wii U, and only in a digital format. That means your only chance to acquire them by legal means, is buying them before the Wii U eShop closure.
