Melee was close to launch but was not a launch game.
Super Monkey Ball and Luigi's Mansion were fantastic though.

There are enough Nintendo fans and Wii owners to make it sell out at launch regardless. Its 3 months after launch that NSMBU will show its staying poerExactly
A 2d mario platformer is the perfect launch title right now.
No game for them will
A) Sell that much
B) Be a slow burner
The only reason I say the wii u has a chance to sell out is because of mario u
Why bump this thread?It'll be out before the end of 2012 surely. If it hasn't already been mentioned in this thread, it'll be basically the same as Super Smash Bros. Melee - basically a launch title as far as everyone who get's one this holiday is concerned.
Have you ever seen a console launch before? Because this is a damn good one. Lots of different genres and some quality titles. It's almost as if people are complaining just for the sake of it.The Wii-U Launch is already shaping up to be a failure and to me if you support that you are encouraging Nintendo to lower the bar. I am not going to reward failure and so I will purchase Wii U when it has real content to offer. I am sick of these weak ass console launches.

NSMB? Wii Fit? 2 sequels to 2 of the highest selling titles this gen is not high profile? Zombi U? Pikmin? P-100? (Although I'm not sure the last 2 are launch, maybe launch window). You can't just disregard these because you don't like them.I come from a time when consoles would launch with high profile titles like Soul Calibur, Super Mario 64, Halo, Rogue Squadron and Dead or Alive 3. What Nintendo is offering for launch isnt going to cut it with me.

wtf ive seen them all and this is easily one of the most pathetic. Where are the AAA standout titles that show what this system can do? All I see a minigame compilation, another zombie game, and another New Super Mario bros game (that is now going to be delayed on top of that)

Reggie said it was up to 4 months. But then, it's Reggie.Guys, a Nintendo "launch" or "launch window" lasts around 6 months to a year. Kid Icarus was a launch title for 3DS, remember?
I fully expect P-100 and Pikmin 3 to slip into 2013, as late as the holidays.
Only two of those games are impressive launch titles compared to the Wii U launch titles.

I want to address one thing because I've been reading it all summer and it's a silly thing. I think Nintendo's launch strategy is smart. Period. They're showing you all the stuff you can play on Day 1 immediately. The stuff that will make up their Holiday strategy for this system this year. Not games coming 2-3 years from now. I can tell you, what the average, regular person who will be buying one of these this Christmas will be far, far more concerned with what they can buy right there, that day in the store as part of the launch.
man if P100, Pikmin and NSMBU all dont show at launch, that's a pretty shitty launch.
I expect:
NSMBU at launch
I always remember hearing "launch window" for all these games including Pikmin 3.
Why is this thread revived?
In David Sheff's Game Over, he had a part about how absolutely hated the SNES launch was at the time by enthusiasts because Super Mario World looked like such a miniscule and uninventive leap over SMB3.
I've been thinking about that book a lot lately.

Tough luck then.
With your standards, we haven't seen a decent launch since a decade ago.
was it debunked?
I expect:
NSMBU at launch
Pikmin 3 before the end of the year
P-100 in Q1 2013
I expect:
NSMBU before the end of the year
Pikmin 3 in Q1 2013
P-100 in Q-4 2013
....and I think I'm being optimistic. Pikmin 3 could easily be a June title with P-100 slipping into Q1 2014. This is Nintendo we're talking about.
Yup. Kit Ellis corrected his statement.
End of story.
