Lots of ports/multi, but I think it's a pretty nice launch lineup, and leaves some other good stuff to come out in the launch window.
I hope TW101 doesn't eventually become late 2013.
Wipeout 3 as a Wii U exclusive makes me want to fucking KILL MYSELF, as a gamer. I'm a hardcore Wipeout fan, and that is JUST disgusting.

Despite the launch lining up being pretty good, the WiiU is still pretty high in price. Only a few people can probably grab all the good games worth buying with the WiiU at launch.
Well it depends on how strict you want to get about the definition of "port" but the bolded are all games that are or will be available on other platforms.Prove that statement.

I would certainly bet it'll be in the top 2 (top 3 if they count Nintendo Land).It would be funny if Black Ops 2 ends up being the highest selling game for the Wii U's launch window.
Much better than the Wii's launch, which was basically: Twilight Princess (port), Red Steel (crap), and Rabbids (minigames.) And I was extremely hyped for the Wii's launch, too.

why are people acting like every launch in the last decade or more wasn't stuffed full of ports and multiplatform titles?
how is King Kong with shinier graphics just fine, but Ninja Gaiden 3 with better gameplay or Batman with Wii U pad exclusive controls and features not just fine?
They should release NHL: Lockdown editionNo NHL 13.
That isn't a very good launch lineup at all. I see only two games that could be considered system movers (NSMB and ZombiU) and those are even a stretch. The rest is a bunch of old games hardcore gamers have already played, multiplat games, or cheesy casual games. This lineup and the launch of the Wii U shows just how disorganized and inept Nintendo is right now.
Taken as a whole it's a killer launch day lineup. It's also a lineup littered with games that have already been sitting on store shelves, and considering the system is still two months away those ports are going to look even older.
Falls a bit flat for me, but I can see others being excited.

I guess that the difference is that King Kong was a multiplatform game released on the same date for all platforms if i'm not mistaken. Ninja Gaiden 3 and Batman Arkham City are games that are "old" and a lot of people have already played those games. But there are someone who havnt played these games yet, so i dont mind it personally.why are people acting like every launch in the last decade or more wasn't stuffed full of ports and multiplatform titles?

Is Tekken Tag 2 friendly to newcomers? Never played a Tekken game before but I want to support Harada (free dlc is a great thing) and the WiiU extras sold me
Transformers Prime is a Wii/3DS port I believe.Well it depends on how strict you want to get about the definition of "port" but the bolded are all games that are or will be available on other platforms.
Doesn't really change his point, substitute Gun, Madden, COD2 or whatever. 360 launch was just as overwhelmed with ports, yet they somehow "count" thanks to be rendered nicer (except the PC ports, which looked worse). It's not far off from saying Batman AC should "count" thanks to control gimmickry.Can you point out the multitude of posts holding up King Kong as an example? Regardless, I think most people are assuming that "NG3, but this time a good game, trust us" is a pretty weak proposition, as is "the Batman game you already played, but with likely minor extras at a $60 price tag when other versions will likely be less than $30". Doubly so when that includes a $300+ bonus cost of entry charge.
The likely price inflexibility on the launch titles can't be dismissed. Someone looking at Darksiders 2 on WiiU for $60 will be confronted with that same game on PCPS360 almost certainly being $30 or less, possibly significantly less. Even AC3 will likely be discounted to sub-$40 on every platform that isn't WiiU when it releases on WiiU.
