I made this with the assets:
please, enlighten us on what you think is the best launch?
edit: nice congressman! I'm watching a batman trailer right now and it reminds me of your old avy lol.

Yes, it's extremely solid. I'm looking forward to what else we'll see next year.
As far as Nintendo launches go I haven't seen one this varied since the NES launch. So it's quite possibly their best.

The ~5000x3000 AssIII screenshots may not have been directly captured from a WiiU.

Calling you out on this, because I'm really interested in what you think is...
vita's was pretty good.
In terms of "launch window"? GameCube was better. Wii was better [via Zelda]. Wii U has several good games but not a single great game. Mario is the best shot at that but it's hard to get your hopes too high.
It's a lot like Vita. Several good games, enough to give you plenty to buy, but nothing of Mario 64 levels of "holy shit I need this system".
Yes indeed. I've been saying this for months now.
man, you can't know that for sure
Thanks!
I miss the good old Joker sometimes. I might change it back soon.
I miss it too so yes please! see I went back to my old avy, lol.
It's very solid, but some of the best are NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, and PSVita. Also, the fact that it's the first Nintendo system to launch with a Mario game since Mario 64 is huge, since that was the definition of a system seller.

I wouldn't say it's that way for everyone, but I can definitely sympathise with that. I only really want Mario and Pikmin 3, but not that bad.

In terms of the quality of the games we're going to get, absolutely it's one of the best.
However, when you cut out the ports, we end up with(someone correct me if I'm wrong):
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Nintendoland
New Super Mario Bros U
ZombiU
And given it's wii roots, possibly Epic Mickey 2, but I doubt it.
The rest are last gen ports, although given the tech rumours, probably a bit less lazy then usual. It's fantastic as far as I'm concerned, as I hate paying for day one dlc - so I don't own Arkham City & Darksiders 2. But someone with a ps3/360 and no qualms over that sort of thing is going to see it as rather more underwhelming.
Okay, yeah, I can definitely see where you're coming from.
There is so much wrong in this post.
How dare you forget the almighty Rayman Legends! ;p

Is that guaranteed at launch? I assumed only the op games were day 1...
Agreed.
But the sheer depth is pretty amazing. Even factoring in old ports, there's going to be a lot of games in the 85+ percentile in it's first few months.
Nintendo.com lists it with a November 18 release date and it's officially confirmed for the November 30 European launch
It's almost certainly a launch title in NA
Don't think it's making launch in Japan though for whatever reason
I think the boxart is sterile as to conform to ESRB standards (which regulates the content found in boxarts). The ESRB does not just simply rates games.

There have been a fair number of pretty solid launch lineups over the years. While I agree that the Wii U is actually looking pretty solid in that regard, I don't think you can categorically state that it's the best.
Dreamcast had a pretty fantastic launch lineup (Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Hydro Thunder, Power Stone, et al), and the PS2 trumped pretty much every launch lineup in terms of quantity.
For my money, my favorite will always be the N64, and there were only two games on that console at launch.
This kind of thing is all subjective unless we set parameters around what makes one launch lineup better than another.

Cool, that actually hardens it up quite a bit then. Two day one probable 90+ platformers is fantastic in my book.
I looked back at the titles published in the launch windows. I agree with you about the Gamecube launch portfolio but not the Wii, Twilight Princess included into the equation.
It may have to do with an exclusive character on the Wii U version. That character is the titular character from the upcoming Disney film Wreck-It Ralph.

I don't think Ralph is console exclusive? The Bonus Edition on the other platforms means you get Metal Sonic and the Outrun track, probably the same thing here.
Every console gets an exclusive character too, no?
I'd love to see Mario or even Captain Falcon on the WiiU but I'm sure it will just have a Mii rehash

Really like that Scribblenauts boxart.
What ? The ps2 launch was crap and remained crap for months.
Dremacast launch should only be regarded as the japanese launch, which was 3 forgettable games and that is all.
boiled goose
good with gravy
hmmm
The blue boxes dont look as bad as i thought they would.
ZombiU looks terrible. Looks like shovelware.
Seems that banner on DS2 is on the box... ugh. why cant these just be on the plastic or somethig. at least offer a clean reversible cover... TT
most look good.

Some really nice boxart here!

So on one of the ZombieU screenshots it talks about weapon crafting. Seems like you can upgrade the:
- Capacity
- Spread
- Firing speed
- Firepower
- Scope
- Silencer
You also appear to be able to tag certain areas with a range of spray cans sigils, perhaps to warn other players about areas in worldwide linkup ?
This is the sort of depth I want to see in the game to avoid it being a flop ala red steel.
Stuff like this makes me think this'll be the spiritual successor to RE4
