the wait for E3 just became that much more unbearable. :/

The fact that Nintendo pulled a Sony and announced NSMB2 should tell us that they, in fact, have a pretty damn good line-up at E3.
Full of highly anticipated games like Just Dance U, Carnival Games U, Rayman Raving Rabbids U etc.
Yeah. Not the person I would expect to be praising the WiiU.

Japanese wise, we don't really know what's cooking for wii u do we? Every tiny leak, comment, announcement has pretty much been all western devs no?

I get the sense that 3rd party will only put in ports of month old games.
I think DQX is the only Japanese third party title we know about at the moment.
We know Tekken and Ninja Gaiden 3. And DQX.
Assassin's Creed III and COD won't be months old by the time the Wii U launches.
He might've been told some stuff off the record, but I'm fairly confident this guy hasn't actually "seen" shit. Any Wii U stuff would be under strict NDA and not demonstrated to press this far ahead of E3.
We know Mark Rein tried out Arkham City Wii U a few months ago. So I'll say some devs and press definitely had access to other Wii U demos we haven't seen yet and under strict NDA.
I got some legit inside info on the launch line-up.
There will be an intense single player adventure with lighthearted moments.
A multiplayer game for the whole family; and then some!
A journey that will take you away on a mystical land!
Action, violence, blood, vulgarity. You will find all of those words and more in this game.
Sports fans, your game is here!
Mario Teaches (virtual keyboard) Typing.

And they will be graphically mocked.

PM a mod to confirm yourself asap.
i hope they have that keyboard game. woot!
People need to get past this and realize that this is pretty much how most console launches are. If we're lucky the Wii-U will get one badass killer app game at launch.
The only platform I can remember that defied this rule was the Dreamcast, and that was partly because it launched in the US like a year after Japan, so they actually had some real games ready, and even then a lot of it was superior ports of PS1 games. The SNES might be another example.

Pretty much every upcoming console gets their launch lineup hyped beyond belief.
I think someone from Level-5 said they were considering porting the DS Layton games to it as well.

It did???
I mean, hey, I bought Street Fighter and Ridge Racer but it was not a memorable launch lineup for me.
The Wii U one should destroy it.

Barring something mind-blowing making it to launch, my current plans are to get Assassin's Creed 3 and a 1st party title, likely Pikmin 3.
The 3DS launch was pretty bad, and Iwata has said numerous times now that they're trying to avoid a similar situation.
That's interesting.
I could see stuff like this happening through DD, it would be a good way to fill out the the WiiU eshop. I wouldn't be surprised if Capcom ported that Ace Attorney HD thing as well.
Five good games? I can't even think of one
Holy shit. I don't know if you know this, but you are amazing.
I think what people really need to get hyped up for is each platform's second holiday season after launch. That always ends up being the awesome one.
PS2 in 2001:
Silent Hill 2
Metal Gear Solid 2
Final Fantasy X
Gran Turismo 3
Grand Theft Auto III
Gamecube in 2002:
Super Mario Sunshine
Metroid Prime
REMake
Dreamcast in 2000:
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia II
Jet Grind Radio
Shenmue
Rayman 2
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Yeah, I think a lot of handheld games, especially DS and 3DS, will be ported to it. This is actually an aspect of the Wii U I feel most people have ignored so far. I could see stuff like Scribblenauts, for example, coming out on Wii U.
That's true, the same way the Wii had SMG, PS3 had UC, and the 360 had Gears. I think we might see the next 3D Mario coming out Holiday 2013.
How funny that only Dreamcast has non-sequels/remakes in this list.
Guys, I think this post came from an alternate universe. This thread is now an episode of Fringe.
really guys, it did.
street fighter 4, ghost recon shadow wars, rayman, pilotwings resort and the last one is a personal preference - lego star wars.
maybe not amazing by any standard, but it was solid and had games for everyone. the problem was that nintendo and third party developers didn't bother releasing anything for months afterwards.

It's odd to hear people saying that Satterfield is generally "anti-Nintendo." I've gotten exactly the opposite impression from listening to IW on and off for the past couple years and watching Bonus Round from time to time. He always seems to be someone who sticks up for Nintendo and generally loves their games. Of course he's got critical things to say too, but I'd never classify him as "anti-Nintendo."
Anyway, hope this quote of his turns out to be true, but I never really have high hopes for launch lineups. Seeing as Nintendo hasn't had a great track record in that area since the N64 (and that was because of one game), I certainly ain't getting my hopes up this time.

lol he is the biggest Nintendo fanboy you will find on that site.
I would be surprised if WiiU doesnt have a stellar lineup - they had a lot of time to prepare its launch and pretty much every big ps360 games could launch on day 1 - if Vita can have a stellar launch lineup, it should be easy for WiiU to top that.
It's true that Iwata said they learned their lesson from the slow start of 3DS. And 3DS argueably didn't have the most compelling launch title selection. And of course you could say that Wii U is getting many quality titles for launch but if vast majority of them are ports from past years (which will be the case for most publishers) then it doesn't really matter.

Pikmin 3 and a couple of other games. Sounds great.

So that zelda tech demo will be a finished launch game is what he's saying, right? Awesome! /puts fingers in ears and walks away
Lego City Stories is technically second party, though (since Nintendo is publishing).
