Ah... so Pikmin 3 won't be out this year? :(

What a bummer, since of these I believe that's what we know has been in development the longest. I mean, we know it has existed the longest.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Capcom) - March

Every time I see that title, I have an orgasm.

FIFA 13 "is" a launch title.

Call of Duty is coming November 13th with the other versions too (I believe the other Activision games are too, that's been a habit of theirs to release pre-console launch).

Pretty sure Toki Tori 2 is a eshop launch title, unless I read otherwise. Also, it's going to be a swing and a miss if Pikmin 3 won't be available this year.

Getting NSMBU and Zombi U for sure. I'm on the fence right now about AC3. I still haven't played Brotherhood or Revelations. I think I need to fix that...

Uhh...I thought Tekken TT2 was coming before 2012 is over?

Plus, I could've sworn NG3 was coming out before the year is over too...

Unless Japan is the one getting those two before the year's up.

So on launch day I see 3 (4?) games I already want. Not bad.

These.

It's not so late and the launch day still looks appetizing so it's not that bad if the quoted actually does happen.

I'm so screwed if Rayman and Batman are on Launch Day. Picking between those 2 and Mario U is a really tough decision :(

There are errors in this list.
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is listed as a launch day title.

Sonic & All-Star Racing: Transformed is listed as a launch day title.

I'm disappointed that Rayman might not make it on Launch Day, Oh well, guess I can reformat my list to Zombi U, Asscreed, and New Mario replacing Rayman. Rayman is my #1 game after all.

A lot of these go against what it says on Nintendo.com, so I wouldn't take the above list as gospel yet.
User avatar

NSMB: U, Pikmin 3, and Rayman Legends are must buys for me.

Might also get Batman, Wonderful 101, NBA 2k13, Black Ops 2, and Epic Mickey 2.

Nintendo Land will be included. Overall, this will be a great start for Wii U. A lot of good games.

Well, me personally, I probably won't be getting any other games with my system as I'm spending about $400 dollars already. I do really want quite a few of the games up there though.

I hope that was sarcastic. My first Wii U experience at E3 this year was with Tank! Tank! Tank! and it was BY FAR the worst game shown at E3, it nearly ruined my joy in holding a GamePad for the first time. Think of everything bad about games like Earth Defence Force 2017, combine them all and you get Tank! Tank! Tank!.

@CrispyGoomba Also Trine 2 and Cloudberry Kingdom.

I hope everywhere gets their full Wii U eShop launch line-up list soon!

nintendo land , nmsb u , right there that's a lot , so if i add trine 2 another eshop , the online wiimote fps , ninja gaiden and wii fit u , it doesn't give me lot to explore the rest of the titles . And game and wario having the rhythm paradise like game doesn't help . i forgot about pikmin 3 and the wonderful 101 .
That's a very heavy amount of games considering that i would play darksiders, mass effect , ac3 , scribblenauts, rayman, batman, alien and lego with the right conditions .
tank tank is out , i wish this was closer to edf/ zangeki , but no online , very basic structures , nope , i'll stick with metroid blast or a fps , tank tank doesn't even require aiming so even an analog fps would do fine
