From a marketing standpoint, it is a great cover. You're right, it shows exactly what this is. On the other hand it could be more attractive, and I'll definitely be using custom box art because I already know what it is.

Those Pikmin screenshots look so good. The NSMB Wii U assets are even making me forget how bad NSMB2 was. I'm getting unreasonably hyped.
Those Pikmin shots are from E3... and there was literally nothing talked abou this game at this latest reveal, which suggests a delay well into 2013
Pikmin does seem to have been pushed into 2013 as its now just a launch window title.

Oh yeah, that's definitely not making launch launch. Hopefully the launch window will still apply and we'll see it early next year, but we'll see.

Thats a badass Ninja Gaiden box art. Much better than the ps360 version.

It's confirmed to launch March 31st at the latest. I don't know if that's considered "well into 2013."
It tells you nothing. It shows you "hey the game takes place on the tv and the controller", but that's about it. You have no idea what the game actually plays like, that it's a mini game collection, you don't get much of a feel for the franchises represented unless you notice the details on the little characters, etc.
Compared to Wii Sports, it's too busy and doesn't convay much of anything beyond "this is a product for the Wii U system!"
Bonus track based on OutRun
Bonus Metal Sonic character and vehicle
in-game "Emoticon Sticker Pack."

Those Wonderful 101 screens make the game look like so much fun. All hail our Platinum Games overlords.
It is indeed $40!
I have it preordered on NewEgg for $30 from a promotion they were having though

? the Nintendoland cover is awesome
. . .
Are you serious? You're probably the ONLY person here who actually thinks the ugly Wii Sports box was superior. What game boxes tell you what the game is like? That's what the BACK is for. The front is to have enticing art and this looks awesome. Lots of Mii's dressed in signature Nintendo franchise outfits playing around.
It was a '$10 off every preorder $40 and above' deal that they were having at the time. Managed to preorder Sonic for $30, Rayman for $40, and ZombiU and AC3 for $50 from the deal
Will probably cancel the ZombiU and AC3 preorders though as I don't want to overspend on launch and 5 games at once is a tad too much, I think
Someone put them up.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Wonderful, I was going to do a blog post about the Wii U and this stuff is fantastic for it.
you have to click the text that says screenshot under the game info(it doesnt look like a link) then a separate window pops up and you have to download the zip file link at the bottom of that tiny window

That'd be a crying shame if so, but I'm starting to think you're right. The depth of field in particular is pretty striking. I'd really hate to see Nintendo bullshotting its way into "next-gen," so I hope we're wrong.
well at least pikmins look legit, so far it is just some of the 3rd parties screenshots that look suspect. Havent looked at any other Nintendo screens yet though.
Looks like an engine error (z-ordering is broken on the reflected objects), not photoshop. No idea why they would need to photoshop an effect the N64 could fake.
looks like ZombiU has an interesting chromatic aberration thing going on all the screens
some blue and red edges near the edges of the screen
some blue and red edges near the edges of the screen
Transformers is confirmed to.
Probably becuz it looks like an upscaled PS2 game
That Aliens boxart is straight up Epic Mickey.
Actually the first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Promo poster of the Inked Mickey ears where the ink was dropping down.
Maybe it's just me though.

Ok, so I was going to say how the boxart makes everything look like shovelware..
But then I saw these. So good.
Im still not sold on the Wii-U and will be waiting (hell, even if I wanted it it would be out of reach monetarily) til a later date. That said, I would be lying if I said I didn't want Rayman Legends or Nano Assault. Eventually those games will be mine.
love these

The probable Tank! Tank! Tank! boxart looks pretty good too.

Shame about that purple bar on Darksiders 2.

The Wii Sports case is classy and clearly shows "this is a mini game compilation focused on these sports"
Nintendoland cover is just a busy, ugly mess.
That's still a retail game? Weird.
