Let's begin!
#5. Injustice: Gods Among Us
What can I say about this game that hasn't already been said? The main story was amazing and gripping for the beat-'em-up genre. The Joker killing Lois Lane was awesome, and seeing Superman going batshit crazy was epic. The story alone is what put this game as my number five.
#4 Batman: Arkham Origins
Although I did lose my saved data, this game is here for a reason—it's an incredible prequel to the trilogy. I was nervous about the new voice actors, but they nailed it as The Joker and Batman (Joker especially). You get to fight eight of the deadliest assassins in the DC Universe as they try to claim the bounty set by Black Mask to kill Batman. The game play has stuck to its roots, which is another plus, because I was a huge fan of Asylum and City. Every Batman fan or DC fan should pick this up. Sadly, I can't comment on the multiplayer version, because I have only played this on the Wii U. Sorry folks!
#3 Rayman Legends (Wii U Edition)
#3 Rayman Legends (Wii U Edition)
This game surprised me, as I think it did a lot of people. It is very colorful and vibrant. I find myself spending most of my time in the challenge mode; I just gotta beat my friends' scores and get as far as I can or finish the course as quick as I can. This game mode is addicting and fun, but there isn't much story behind it, and that's what stops it from being my number 1 or number 2. Overall, however, this is a fun game for up to five players, and it's crazy fun.
#2 The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD
This is a tough choice. I wanted this as my number one pick; in fact, I would say that really it's a tie between The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD and my number 1 game. I loved Wind Waker on the Game Cube, but this version is so darn beautiful it blows my mind and makes me smile every time I play it. The fast sail is a godsend; why it wasn't in the original is beyond me. The sailing is a drag that breaks up the pace of the adventure, which is why I dropped this back to my number 2.
#1 Super Mario 3D World
What's not to love? Super Mario 3D World is beautiful. The colors and sound are amazing. It's fun, and it made me feel like a kid again. You get to play as four characters that we haven't seen since the fake Mario Bros 2, and there is a hidden fifth character (but I don't want to ruin it for you). This game made me feel like I made a good choice in purchasing my Wii U; in fact, all the games I have mentioned I own on the Wii U, and that is my favorite purchase of 2013. I can't wait to see what 2014 brings!
