I don’t even have to look to know this list will either be 9 1st party titles or 10. Okay, now I have to look. BRB. 10. Here’s what I experienced when I clicked the link:
***Mom:*** Honey, the Make-A-Wish people are here. Have you thought of a wish?
***Kid:*** Yup [cough]
***Make-A-Wish Representative:*** Hey, how’s it hanging kid? Anyway you gotta wish? And if so, make it snappy, I’m double parked. Your mom said you didn’t have much time so I didn’t wanna, Y’know, pay for a spot or nothin’. Shit’s expensive.
***Kid:*** I’d like more ads on the website that has the article “10 Games that Defined the Nintendo Wii U Era”. Here. It’s on my tablet… [cough]
***Make-A-Wish Representative:*** Uh, I don’t know if I should be touching’ this dead kids tablet…ah mom, could you help me out here?
***Mom:*** It’s okay. He’s not contagious otherwise I wouldn’t be here. No offense Danny.
***Kid:*** I’m Billy. [cough]
***Make-A-Wish Representative:*** Alright Danny, let me see that wish, I’ll just click that link and – ho shit! Impossible kid. I can’t get anymore ads on that website. It’s jammed to the friggin’ tits! You sure you don’t wanna go to Disneyland or a ride in a spaceship or we put your consciousness in a robot body or something easy? Work with me here, Champ. Kid? Kid?
***Mom:*** Danny!! No!!!
***Make-A-Wish Representative:*** My parking intuition was workin’ overtime. Hey toots, you busy for dinner, say tonight? Looks like you won’t need a babysitter.
***Mom:*** I’ll think about it.

I would love to believe the author included BotW as an intentional meta-commentary about how gaming advertisements & hype do more to define eras than actual finished products.
I would love to, but since they didn’t include Nintendo Land – the first-party launch exclusive, clear hardware tech-demo, and actual pack-in title in some territories – I’m not going to give that credit.
(BotW released on Switch before it released on Wii U. And no, I didn’t click the article)
