Nintendo Land is a 2012 party video game developed and published by Nintendo as a pack-in launch title for the Wii U video game console. The game was first announced at E3 2012 during Nintendo's press conference.

Nintendo Land features twelve different minigames, each based on an existing Nintendo game franchise such as Mario and The Legend of Zelda, depicted as attractions in the eponymous fictional amusement park. The minigames are designed to demonstrate the concept of Wii U and its Wii U GamePad controller to new players, in the same way the 2006 game Wii Sports demonstrated the Wii and its Wii Remote, utilizing many of the controller's features, including its touchscreen controls and motion-sensing capabilities. Some minigames incorporate the Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controllers for alternate control schemes and multiplayer support, which also helps exhibit "asymmetric gameplay", a concept in which certain players have different experiences based on the controller they use.

Nintendo Land was mostly liked by critics, and sold 5.18 million copies as of September 2017, making it the third highest-selling Wii U game. The ability to download the game was removed from the Nintendo eShop in North America on November 10, 2013, then returned for download on August 26, 2016.
