game that they work well with is Super Smash Bros., in the other
games they just give you additional items that aren't either that amazing and necessary (ex: Hyrule Warriors, Mario
Kart 8, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse), more I'm
still waiting for what they're gonna do with Captain Toad, the
game is already out but
