nothing there for me.


Fair enough [I'm only interested in Darksiders 2 and Rayman Legends - knew they missed one! - myself, since 2D Mario's don't do anything for me, and the Wii U Sports / Play is probably bundled in].

What game[s] would make the Wii U a Day One buy for you then?

@Chosenoneknuckles

A game, aimed at core gamers that I can't get on my ps3 and isn't a generic shooter or racing game.

something along the lines of fallout 4

Hmm. I'd say a port of GTAV is probably more likely than that for you mefraid [and that series has rather lost it's way as it is].

It's called a "Dumb Terminal", it runs off of a main server computer that is linked to all Blockbusters. These are great for companies who need there employees to be connected on a computer network, but don't want them checking Facebook all day. I used these when I used to sell auto parts.

How many generic shooters and racers are on PS3? That's what I thought.

"something along the lines of fallout 4"

For a console launch? LMAO!!!!! I think your expectations are pretty high and unreasonable.


That list sounds badass to me so far. Formula One Legends, Assassins Creed 3, Splinter Cell 6, Metro, Aliens Colonial Marines, Killer Freaks(Wii U exclusive), Ghost Recon Online(Wii U/PC exclusive) and Darksiders II all spark my interest.

I think the most interesting part of this story is that Blockbuster is still around.

@keyz

there are too many generic shooters and racers on the ps3 sadly yes. But I want the Wii U to be better than the PS3.

I don't expect fallout 4 at launch, I just want it announced or confirmed for the Wii U. Looking at the controller it would be a crime to not put fallout 4 on the wii u.

and by the way, I didn't necessarily mean specifically fallout 4, I just mean I want a game as big as something like fallout or batman arkham city to come out for the wii, that I cannot get on my ps3.

Nothing exciting there for me. Pretty much exactly what I'm expecting anyway.

Pikmin... and Darksiders II a bit... I think that is all that interested me on that list.

This looks really legit. I worked at Blockbuster as recent as one year ago and that is easily the POS

Pikmin 3 is a shoe-in. With Pikmin 2 being re-released a few days after E3 I think we can expect a large re-focus on the Pikmin franchise at E3. I just hope it's not the only first party Nintendo game, last years demos are probably going to be there, but those will likely be the so-so pack-in software.

I want the Nintendo vehicular games, Fzero, Waverace & Starfox, I just hope Nintendo doesn't drop Wii Motor Sports on us as a replacement to these actual games.

Some of you people are a bunch of babies, when the Wii didnt get ports you cried about ports now when the WiiU gets them you cry about its a bunch of ports. This is a leak of either speculation info or real info, but fact is they would not get info for exclusive WiiU games that we dont know about anyways, Nintendo and 3rd parties would make sure of that. That is a great list of games to come out at a launch of any console, plus we are gonna get some games we still dont know about.

I hope this is bogus, because they are gonna need much more than those titles to get peoples attention.
User avatar

They should make the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X Online a launch title and make the online free in the U.S. And I hope Nintendo doesn't plan on spinning that shield pose tech-demo into a full-priced retail game. Blech.

either they need more than these games, or better games than some of those listed on there. the big reveal is at E3, therefore we should treat this one as speculation.

I have to agree this list is pretty "meh" worthy.I found Pikmin to be kinda boring wanted to try Pikmin 2 but Nintendo didn't bring the Wii port to America back when you know....actually cared/played my Wii.

Everyone knows my distaste for the "New" Super Mario bros games. So i'm not interested in that in the slightest (so brave for Nintendo to release TWO NSMB games in the same year).

Batman Arkham City already played on my PS3 so could care less about a year old port of a game I played a year ago.

Not to mention all the party/casual games that aren't fun nor cool. Sorry for being so negative but I hope this isn't the final launch list.

The games I would get on launch are: Resident Evil 6, Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed, Black Ops 2 (if they changed the gameplay enough which from the trailer looks like they have but need to see more), and hopefully that rumored Starfox by Retro.

Some of these are OK. I like Pikmin. Might actually replay the first one soon :) And that Mutant Freaks whatever it's called looks pretty fun. Curious how it will look at this E3. They had a year of work after all. For the ports: I really hope they use the extra the U has in it!

Apart from that I agree with "meh"!
