I recon there is a number of Wii U owners here. Please share with us one or two games you are playing right now or have been playing for the last few weeks. A game you think might be of interest to other players and explain why.

I'll start with a game I have been playing with my cousin and my friends for the last few weeks. CHARIOT is a game that got out on January 8th on the Wii U eShop for a mere 15 bucks. It's hands down the best local coop game I've played in years.
You play as the princess daughter of a king that has just passed away. Your mission is quite simple, bring your dad's remains to the crypt his royal engineers built for him in the royal catacombs. The plot is simple, but this is a novel approach on the platform genre as you need to pull, push and carry the royal coffin around in order to progress in the royal catacombs. As you search for the best spot to burry your dead dad, you will need to accumulate riches (the casket does that for you) on the way. When you play with a friend, they play as the princess' fianc?.
The graphics are simple, yet look gorgeous. The art direction really shines here and I think Animal Crossing fans will be pleased. It will take you at least 10-12 hours to complete the game, if you rush through maybe a bit less. I've played 6 hours now and I've only seen about a 1/3rd of the game. There may be only 25 levels, but some levels can north of 30 mins to complete. They are truly gigantic. The acting is also quite good, Frima Studios, a small independent studio really accomplished a feat with Chariot. I recommend this game wholeheartedly.

I got Hyrule Warriors for Christmas cuz I'm a huge Zelda fan, and I liked it well enough, but I haven't really played since I finished the story mode. I'm not a terribly big fan of fighting games, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Might get into it later to try to finish the artwork puzzles or whatever they were since I never bothered to go after the Gold Skulltulas.
