In today's episode of Invisible Walls on Gametrailers, the conversation turned to the third-party support for the upcoming Nintendo Wii U.

Shane Shatterfield, Editor in Chief of Gametrailers.com, had this to say (around the 12:00 minute mark):

One thing that I can say without getting in any trouble is that the launch line-up for the Wii U is going to surprise people. It's going to be pretty damn good.

[Wario64]

Not buying it (that it has a good launch lineup)

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Should be an all around decent launch.

[Cheesemeister]

Odd, I thought he hated Nintendo and never had anything positive to say.

[Smiles and Cries]

are you trying to get Ninjas to visit him?

[Emitan]

Odd, I thought he hated Nintendo and never had anything positive to say.

Must mean the Wii U will be terrible for Nintendo fans!

[Nibel]

Satterfield has no credibility for me

[EloquentM]

Odd, I thought he hated Nintendo and never had anything positive to say.

Oh c'mon that's just cheesy. Am excited though.

[botty]

It'll probably have Call of Duty at launch, ew!

[Smiles and Cries]

Must mean the Wii U will be terrible for Nintendo fans!

ouch

[lunchwithyuzo]

On today's 8-4 Play they also said they were hearing surprisingly good things about Wii U from 3rd parties. Get Hype

[outunderthestars]

Good to hear. So ready for E3!

[M.D]

What's a good launch line up? Will Nintendo bring the good stuff at lauch? Or is a bunch of ports of old multiplatform games considering a good launch line up? Hopefully both

[Lord_Byron28]

I need this bad "Good news for Wii U" taste out of my mouth. Where's that Pachter quote about it becoming the dreamcast?

You should've left it ambigous prior to your edit.

Rayman 2!

[Deadly Joker]

Odd, I thought he hated Nintendo and never had anything positive to say.

Only when he says something bad about Nintendo.

[Junie12]

Man E3 can't come soon enough!

Hopefully Pikmin 3 is one of those launch titles :)

[Chet Rippo]

It better be since I've had shit to play on my Wii this year...

[disappeared]

We've been down this road before.

[darkside31337]

My money is on something like the Vita.

High quantity, tons of ports including ports of games that have been out for more than a year, some sequels to games with minimal new features and then a general lukewarm feeling of the whole thing, proceeded by twiddling of thumbs waiting for new games.

So basically a decent launch.

[lunchwithyuzo]

Rayman 2!

And it'll still run worse than the DC version. :/

[Oblivion]

Question: What's the difference between a Satterfield and Battenheusen?

[Foffy]

I worry by good he simply means quality games, but not many that people will run out to get. Those are the types Nintendo needs at launch. Having ports (based on what we know) isn't going to cut it for some.

If Pikmin 3 is a launch game, though...

[CorrisD]

Unless Nintendo have managed to get more than one game out the door in time, I would assume the launch line up is goin to consist on 3rd party games that will most likely be on other systems.

[markot]

Good as in quality or good as in quantity with UBI taking the lead >_<?

I assume Nintendo will launch with one 'wii sports' showing off the tablet, and one mario game. Then Pikmin. Then another big title spread out a few months after launch.

[ViewtifulJC]

Dem AC ports

[Ezalc]

Can't wait for that RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RAAAAAAAAAACERRRRRRR!

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

All it takes is one big first party game and then the additional third party ports seem that much more impressive.

[massoluk]

Call of Duty as launch game confirmed then...

[GCX]

Don't worry I heard Ubisoft will bring the Nintendo quality software™.

[Neuromancer]

A new Pilotwings
A new 1080 Snowboarding
A new Wave Race

The holy trinity. Make it happen Nintendo.

[Error Macro]

Rayman 2!

LEAKED SCREEN FROM WII U VERSION



WOW

[Talladega Knight]

can you imagine if they could swing a black ops 2 one month exclusive?

[Anth0ny]

Pikmin 3 is enough for me.

I'm also assuming NSMB Mii and Ass Creed 3 will be there. Maybe COD?

Not bad.

[King of the Potato People]

What line-up? NSMB, ports and....? Please show up something new E3. You have a lot to prove.

[Hobbestetrician]

Satterfield has always struck me as one of those Nintendo fans that felt wronged by the Wii but still loves the company (I still remember him arguing with Terrell Suggs on ESPN how Ocarina of Time was the best game ever but he was quite down on Skyward Sword) so I think the fact that whatever he has seen has impressed him means something.

[Bisnic]

It's going to be a bunch of 360/PS3 ports of wanted games am i right?

[Draconian]

What line-up? NSMB, ports and....? Please show up something new E3. You have a lot to prove.

Don't worry, it's got Ninja Gaiden 3!

[outunderthestars]

Beyond Good & Evil 2.


(a guy can dream)

[BurntPork]

LEAKED SCREEN FROM WII U VERSION WOW

lol, yeah right. No way could Wii U handle graphics like that.


That was sarcasm.

[GrandHarrier]

[Reallink]

Darksiders 2, Ass 3, Arkham City, and whatever other ports it manages means we already knew this since last E3. The question is what will be exclusive. I don't see third parties doing serious, big budget, high talent properties on Wii U when they could release on all 3 boxes instead. This leaves Nintendo, which they almost assuredly have no real insight on.

[Matts Legacy]

Nintendo will be fine right guys? Right?

[Sandfox]

This news just makes me more hyped for E3.

[likeGdid]

"pretty damn good"
sounds like there's a code hidden in this phrase. It just needs to be cracked.

Well I guess there's Killer Freaks from Outer Space and Lego City Stories, I think those combined with the ports and a couple of first party games would make for a pretty good launch, certainly better than the Wii's launch.

[impact]

Not without Star Fox or 3D Mario

[lunchwithyuzo]

It's going to be a bunch of 360/PS3 ports of wanted games am i right?

Pretty much. Plus the odd exclusive like Killer Freaks, Sonic Dimensions or Youkai Watch, but the "biggest" stuff will all be ports (BLOPS2, GTAV, etc).

[jump_button]

I hope that four new IP is true, two at E3

[Famicom]

If this guy has positive Nintendo news it MUST be good.
