Support from EA (other than ME3) and Activision had better materialize soon, that's all I'll say.

EDIT: per a Keighley tweet, P-100 is apparently about to be unveiled on GameTrailers. From a "huge" developer.
 
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is really coming to Wii U this holiday? Sega really needs to make this game a priority. Get in there before Mario Kart U hits.
 
That's really not a bad lineup just for this holiday/launch window.

Especially depending on what that Plat Games game is.
 
Says its a "partial list", so I expect more, so who knows.

Madden and BLOPs 2 from EA and Activision would be reasonable guesses to be there. Right?!

It's not bad, but it won't convince me to buy the console right away. I already own the 3 current consoles, so I won't be getting those 3rd party titles for Wii U. Pikmin 3 is the only Wii U game that interests me right now (oh maybe Rayman too). No Mario (NSMBU is not what I'm looking for), No Zelda, no new IP = no buy.
 
Pikmin 3 is probably enough for me to consider getting a Wii U on launch.. so long as they announce some more games in the meantime.
 
i thought the nintendoland thing is bundled with the wii u like wii sports was. i guess not, too bad for nintendo they really underwhelmed with this one. hoping there's more games announced at tgs.
 
Tank! Tank! Tank! Perhaps a fitting title to go with the console.

Oh Nintendo, please surprise us all with great reveals at some Nintendo Direct previews like you did with the 3DS

Meh lineup, but was to be expected with the ports. Don't know what the meltdown is around here about that.

P100 looks fantastic by the way.

No Sega (oh sorry, they managed to get some shitty ports, nevermind). No Take-Two. No Activision. (Almost) no EA. No Square-Enix. No Capcom. I don't think there ever was a NDA, there were really no games to begin with.

There's nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's shockingly bad and I don't believe they have anything left, otherwise they'd have shown us at least a glimple. It was unbelievable. If you had told me it would be like this, I would've laughed at you.

Edit:
I'm shocked. Really. I don't know what to say. This is worse than what I assumed would be the worst case.

I can't believe that analyst was right about there being no Activision support. I mean, Jesus Christ.

Third parties have no faith in this console.
 
That's actually a really well-rounded list from 3rd parties, as much as any recent launch.

AC3, Darksiders 2, Tekken Tag 2, NBA 2k13, and Mass Effect 3 are all AAA games from multi-million selling franchises. Still, it's not enough to move me to spend money, as I can already get all of these games on hw I already own. So, good for Nintendo fans just jumping into HD gaming, pretty much a small subset of 3rd party games arriving on PS360 this fall.

Edit: Holy crap I can't believe I didn't notice no CoD. That's pretty damn baffling. I would have guaranteed 3 months ago that Nintendo would be at least get a port of Black Ops 2. No Battlefield (I thought this was announced?), Madden, or FIFA really hurts, especially the latter in Europe. And it appears that Ghost Recon was delayed.

Where the fuck are the third parties?!?

Here's what's going to happen:


With Wii, peopel complained about the lack of 3rd party AAA games.

So, with Wii U, 3rd parties decided, "well, if we give them AAA games a year late, that's fine, right?"

Mass Effect, Ninja Gaiden, and Batman AC will bomb, as they'll have been out for a year, and everyone who wanted to play them probably would have already gotten them on PS3, 360, or PC.

3rd parties will take this to mean that there is no audience for AAA titles on Wii U that aren't by Nintendo. And Wii U support will die.

I fucking guarantee this.

The only interesting games are 2D and sequels...Rayman Legends and New Super Mario U.

Other than 3DS count Nintendo out.

The list doesn't show all games and Activision confirmed support last year; Treyarch and Vicarious Visions has Wii U kits since last year too.

Unless I'm missing the sarcasm. :p
 
Peter Moore is coming out on Spike- hopefully to announce EA Sports support.
 
Well, you can count on Madden, since I think EA is forced by contract to release a version of the plataform for every console platform. Also I think it is the same case for Codemasters` F1.
 
3rd parties missing the boat again. Then they'll bitch and complain when they release shit and no one buys it and it'll be the new self fulfilling prophecy that's the same as this gen.

I don't know why Nintendo doesn't tell them to fuck off or slap them across the face. Or why 3rd parties don't learn. There's tons of money to be made. I don't know why their investors aren't pissed as shit, they should be.
 
Wario’s Wii U Masterpiece
Wario and his Diamond City friends are back in action. Game & Wario
(working title) features a collection of games that use only the Wii U
GamePad controller. The games retain the original flair and character
of the micro-games from the WarioWare series.
FEATURES:
To earn medals and various bonus items, players are encouraged to play a
variety of games.
• Arrow – This single-player game transforms the GamePad into a hi-tech bow
(shaped like Wario’s mustache, of course) and arrow designed to defeat
swarming enemies. Players hold the GamePad vertically with one hand to
aim at enemies on the TV screen, while using their other hand to pull the
arrow on the GamePad’s touch screen.
• Ski – In this single-player game, competitors must lead the skier to the finish
line by holding the GamePad vertically and tilting it left or right. The TV
monitor will show the skier’s flashy moves to entertain the audience.
• Shutter – In this single-player game, the player must use the GamePad like
a telephoto camera lens to take photos of criminals hidden in the town
before the time runs out.
• Fruit – In this game for two to five players, the main player uses the
GamePad to anonymously control one of many characters on the TV screen
to quietly steal some fruit scattered all over the town. Once the thief
completes the mission, the player passes the GamePad to the other players,
who then must try to finger the suspect.
• Additional games will be announced at a later time.

Experience Your Own Personal
Panoramic Tour
Pick up the Wii U GamePad controller and get ready to transform your
living room into an exotic location from around the world. By moving
the GamePad up, down, left or right, you can look around at all your
surroundings and feel like you’re really experiencing these locations in
person. You control the viewer’s perspective, making it feel as though
you’ve been transported directly to the center of the video’s
destination.
FEATURES:
• Personalize your viewing experience with various tools, like zooming in on
points of interest, setting the tilt or changing to a different perspective.
• Rotating the GamePad will change your viewing perspective from landscape
to portrait, providing a better view of vertical objects such as towers.
• At the end of the experience, you will be shown the top three images or
areas of the video where you focused the majority of your attention.
• The GamePad records your personalized viewing experience, allowing you
to share your vantage point and interests with your family and friends. These
pre-recorded videos can be viewed on the GamePad or the TV.
