The most expensive Wii U game was ranked as the worst game of 2015 on several sites, and only 3,000 copies sold in its first month. Devil's Third is also the only Wii U game here that costs more than $200 loose. The rest of the list is far cheaper.
Every price below is a real eBay sale made between July 2023 and September 2026, never an asking price. For each game we took the sales of loose discs (the disc alone, no case) from its latest year of sales, or its latest two years when it sold too seldom for one, and used the middle price, so one wild auction can't push a game up the list. You only need the disc to play, so the loose price sets the order. Boxed prices only show up where enough complete copies sold to mean something.
10. Cabela's Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts (2014)
Loose discs of Cabela's Big Game Hunter: Pro Hunts sold for a typical $40 across 19 sales between October 2024 and July 2025, and boxed copies went for a typical $45 across 30 sales. The Cabela's hunting games have always found their niche audience, and this one came out on several systems, but the Wii U version is much harder to come by.
It hovered around $20 to $40 until it got a boost in early 2021. There are more loose discs and incomplete copies out there than for most Wii U games on this list, since it seems people actually played this one.
9. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (2013)
Loose discs of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD sold for a typical $45 across 30 sales between July and September 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $48 across 30 sales. It is a high-definition remaster of the 2002 GameCube game, whose cel-shaded look divided players at the time and helped keep its sales well below Ocarina of Time's.
The idea for the remaster came from Nintendo's developers playing with an HD Zelda tech demo and putting its lighting on the Wind Waker version of Link. If you want the original instead, it came back as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title through Nintendo Classics on June 5, 2025.
8. Wii Party U (2013)
Loose discs of Wii Party U sold for a typical $48 across 30 sales between June and September 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $50 across 29 sales. NDcube's sequel to Wii Party is a board game with more than 80 new minigames, and many of them are built around the GamePad.
In one of them, players stand in a circle around the GamePad and move their Wii Remotes up and down to the music.
7. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (2016)
Loose discs of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games sold for a typical $50 across 30 sales between March and September 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $50 across 29 sales. The crossover series that first put Mario and Sonic in the same game started on the Wii, and this Wii U entry is the least plentiful of them all, which makes it the most valuable in the series.
Its price has stayed fairly steady. It dipped to $30 to $40 in 2019 and has slowly climbed back since.
6. Wii Sports Club (2013)
Loose discs of Wii Sports Club sold for a typical $58 across 30 sales between September and December 2025, and boxed copies went for a typical $59 across 30 sales. The original Wii Sports was a cultural phenomenon that helped sell a huge number of Wiis, and the Wii U's GamePad gave Nintendo new ways to adapt the sports.
Most people weren't willing to pay for it on top of the hardware, though, and despite the famous name, Wii Sports Club didn't crack the top 20 best selling Wii U games.
5. Game & Wario (2013)
Loose discs of Game & Wario sold for a typical $60 across 29 sales between September 2025 and July 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $80 across 30 sales. It is a WarioWare party game named after the old Game & Watch handhelds, with sixteen minigames played entirely on the Wii U GamePad, without a single Wii Remote.
It was first planned to come preinstalled on every Wii U as a demonstration of the GamePad, before it turned into a WarioWare game. It stayed around $30 until 2020, and it is one of the most interesting Wii U games that never came to the Switch.
4. Turbo: Super Stunt Squad (2013)
Loose discs of Turbo: Super Stunt Squad sold for a typical $79 across six sales between May 2024 and February 2025, and boxed copies went for a typical $100 across 30 sales. It is a typical movie license game with a bit of Tony Hawk in it, and it came out on nearly every system of its day.
Every other version is cheap, with most going for $10 or less, and even the European Wii U disc costs about $30. The North American Wii U version is the hard one to find. Collectors started noticing it in 2017, and its biggest jump came in 2021. Few snails have ever been worth this much.
3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD (2016)
Loose discs of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD sold for a typical $100 across 30 sales between December 2025 and February 2026, and boxed copies went for a typical $108 across 30 sales. It brings the GameCube and Wii adventure into full HD, with graphical upgrades and a few gameplay changes, and it uses the GamePad for the map instead of the Wii Remote's motion controls.
It came out in 2016, a year before the Switch, so it didn't get as big a print run as Wind Waker HD. That is why it costs twice as much, even though it is the best selling game on this list at 1.15 million copies.
2. The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (2015)
Loose discs of The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 sold for a typical $150 across seven sales between July 2023 and November 2024, a two year stretch because it sells so seldom, and boxed copies went for a typical $140 across 29 sales. It is a comedic point-and-click adventure from the German developer King Art Games, funded on Kickstarter to bring the series to consoles, and critics loved how it honored the classic genre.
It sold for a budget $20 when it came out in 2015, and most of its physical versions still sell for under $20. Even the European Wii U version costs less than $50 complete. The North American Wii U disc is the one that is hard to find, so it carries the premium.
1. Devil's Third (2015)
Loose discs of Devil's Third sold for a typical $222 across six sales between November 2024 and November 2025, a two year stretch because it sells so seldom, and boxed copies went for a typical $230 across 30 sales. It was the first project from Tomonobu Itagaki, of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, at his new Valhalla Game Studios, and it began life as an Xbox 360 exclusive before THQ took it on for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. THQ went bankrupt in 2013, and Nintendo picked up the publishing.
Nintendo of America wavered over releasing it at all, and it arrived in North America in December 2015, months after the rest of the world. GameStop got only 420 copies for its entire online store, and Nintendo shut down the online servers on December 29, 2016. Many copies went straight to people hoping to resell them, which is why so many sealed ones still turn up.
