$250. No hard drive. 16GB onboard storage maximum.
October or November release. October seems like a weird month, but November seems so late into the holiday season. However November gives them an excuse to only do one shipment of systems before Christmas and ensure everyone goes bananas over them, hopefully creating a hype that hasn't been seen since years 2 and 3 of the Wii's lifespan. No cloud storage for usernames/purchased games still. Failure to keep up with near decade-old standards of digital purchasing once again. Is anyone hype for this? I'm not buying it until it has atleast two games I must have. Pikmin 3 is one of them, and that doesn't even come out until next year. |

I really, really want Pikmin 3. After playing NSMB2, my modicum of "want" for NSMB:U has dropped to complete apathy. And this is from a huge Mario platformer fan.
I hope they show me something so that I don't feel like a fucking moron when I buy a Wii U just to play Pikmin 3 with pointer controls, something I would've been more than happy to buy for $50 for Wii to play on my SDTV. |

There were plenty of titles confirmed for launch at E3 and I was almost certain Pikmin 3 was not one of them. There were launch date, and launch 'window' titles. Pretty sure Pikmin 3 was in the latter camp, and if you aren't making it to the launch date you probably aren't making it in 2012.

If they intend to have first party games downloadable digitally day-and-date with retail though I imagine they're trying to get that up and running for launch. Even the current Wii/3DS system however allows you to re-download games. I don't know about MUST have games, but the launch window already has at least four games that I would certainly like to play. I could definitely talk myself into buying one. |

So, any E3 titles that we're not expecting it to make 2012? I'd say that LEGO City Stories and Project P-100 (which will probably get its final title at the event) are guaranteed to get bumped to next spring at the absolute earliest, and I doubt that Nintendo is worried about making sure Game & Wario is out by the end of this year, as well. I'd be willing to bet, though, that Pikmin 3 makes a repeat of the first game and release about a month after the launch, securing it as a 2012 title.
Third party stuff is trickier, but largely because of just how many games are on the way. I'd say that the super big stuff is guaranteed to show up on launch day (Assassin's Creed 3, EA Sports, Zombi U, Batman: Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, and the "surprise announcement" of CODBLOPS2), but what about other titles? I think the Ubisoft stuff is safe since they always have about a bajillion titles at Nintendo launches these days, and Darksiders 2 should be safe as well, since it's about the only thing THQ has. But what about stuff like Tekken Tag Tournament 2, or even Capcom's mystery game? |
