Wii U Launch Window Games

[SpoonySage]

In the beginning of their E3 conference, Miyamoto announced that they had around 23 Wii U games to showcase this year. In a following Spike TV interview, Reggie said that everything they were showing is actually coming out within what they consider to be the Wii U's launch window. Clearly, they have learned from the 3DS's less than stellar launch!

I'm going to try to name all the games I remember, and maybe we will find out the others later today. Also, keep in mind that Reggie may be mistaken or mean that the games THEY showed at E3 are launch titles, but not the games Ubisoft is showing or some other kind of doublespeak.

Assassin's Creed 3
Rabbid Land
ZombiU
Wii Fit U
Ubisoft Complete Fitness thing (not actual title)
Rayman Legends
Avengers (can't remember full title)
SiNG (working title)
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Mass Effect 3
Darksiders 2
Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
Project P-100
LEGO City: Undercover
Nintendoland
New Super Mario Bros. U
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Pikmin 3
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Game & Wario
Trine 2: Director's Cut

(I know I am forgetting several, as Ubisoft had 9 games and I can't remember all that)

What Wii U launch games are YOU looking forward to? At launch, I think I would get ZombiU and NSMBU. Maybe Nintendoland when I hear more about it

-Project P-100
-LEGO City Undercover
-Game & Wario
-Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
-Darksiders II
-Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition

Any games that I didn't mention have yet to be confirmed for the launch window.

As for what I'm looking forward to, Pikmin 3 (massively so), Scirbblenauts Unlimited, and maybe Project P-100, Game & Wario and LEGO City Undercover.

Oh yeah! I forgot because all the stuff that came after. Also, I forgot Scribblenauts was breaking from the DS. But Reggie DID say all the games were in the launch window, so we will see. I will update my list!

HA HA! What did I tell everyone? I SAID Pikmin was coming and what opened the presentation?! PIKMIN!!

 

[R.O.B. 2.0]

New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, LEGO City Undercover, Zombi U are the games that really caught my eye

Nintendo Land and Wii Fit U both look interesting and possibly quite good, but they aren't the kind of games I'd buy.

I'm downloading the conference right now, and I will see what I will get. But I doubt that I will get the system on the launch window anyways. Still have lots of Wii games that I haven't even played yet.

Game & Wario (not announced at E3 and therefore maybe not a launch window title)

Game & Wario is a launch window title. In fact it seems to be an actual launch title.
Look here: http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/game-wario
It says "Release: Launch"

 

[Yoshi64Mario]

Looks like a good line up. Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros. U and Rayman Legends are at the top of the list and I will make sure I get all three when I get the console, if available.

Will Get NSMBU and maybe that Lego game, as it look sprett interesting..

Just incase, Reggie has revealed the size of the launch window, and it's everything from launch to the first 3-4 months after.

So, assuming it will launch in November, all these games will be released between November 2012, and about February-March 2013.
