WipEout Vita wasn't a port and neither was Fifa I don't think. at least not a straight port from anything else which is kind of funny since from what I have heard Fifa 13 sounds like it is just Fifa vita with roster update.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Right. Though it's a sim, so we can spare it the open-world-ness.
I just bought the other day Excite Truck PAL (I have an NTSC Wii) so I'd have a good arcade racer to play on my new PAL WiiU. True story.Fuck that, why isn't there a 1st party launch racer (F-Zero, Wave Race, Excite)? This is the first Nintendo console not to launch (window!) with one.

You underestimate the brand power of Batman, especially considering TDKR should hit BluRay/DVD this holiday season. Not to mention there are still tons of gamers who have yet to play Arkham City, and the game is fricken awesome. Any Wii-only owner should be picking it up day one.
This really puts in perspective how good this lineup is, ports or not, they do still have a unique controller, and quality exclusives. While the controller is not revolutionary, it is certainly different from a standard controller.
Also no real mention of NintendoLand, which has been getting very positive impressions. No one will care that NG3's framerate sucks, when your entire family is playing NintendoLand at Thanksgiving.
I agree about wanting the Wonderful 101 at launch, but I doubt the public at large cares about it.
To those saying the lineup sucks could someone point out the better one from that list above?

He's not comparing launches. He's comparing current situations. The Wii U isn't launching against the 360/PS3 launch. As it stands against the current 360/PS3, it can't match them. That's what he's referring to.

That's what I heard. Sigh, I was hoping with how long ago it was announced, they would have been plenty of time to make sure the game ran as smoothly as the other consoles at least.

I don't think I could, although I don't think that's saying much. The Wii U isn't launching against those line-ups, it's launching against systems that already have half the games on this list, among other exclusives.
This is a losing argument especially when you factor in good exclusives and a unique method of control. Basically no one can point out the better lineup because it doesn't exist.
To say what can be considered the best launch lineup ever "isn't saying much" is disingenuous.
Is it the best or not, that's what we we're discussing and I think the listing of lineups over the last eight years proves that this is the best.
I own all systems and handhelds, I loved Vita's launch, but this is better by far.

I thought Rayman Legends was a launch title. Pretty solid lineup regardless.

I cut WipEout by accident.
Conversions are still ports. FIFA Vita included.
This isn't really unusual either. Xbox 360 launch wasn't great stacked up against PS2's or a gaming PC's current lineup then. Again, expect the same next year for Sony & MS.

How is that different to, say, 360 launching in 2005?
I assume we're going to see all these arguments reappear when 720 and PS4 launch?

I can't point to a better line-up of THOSE consoles. Now if we opened the floor to ALL consoles, I can tell you close to half a dozen I liked quite a bit more.
I think it's a pretty strong lineup, if you haven't played some of the ports before. I'm actually most interested in Sing Party because I like the developer
But then I'm also not too interested in the rest of the lineup, which coincides with my general disinterest in the current games offered. Only Broken Sword 5 was able to spark my interest this year...

I was trying to think about that too, I didn't wanna say beyond eight years cause I'm too old to remember, but out of curiosity what were you thinking was better if we're looking at "all-time"?

The difference being that 360 and PS3 launch games looked like titles you couldn't get on the past consoles. Wii U's issue is that their launch games look like everything we've been playing for 7 years. When next Xbox and PS4 come out, the games may be sparse, but they're going to have the added benefit of looking like games you could never get on a 360/PS3/WiiU

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
New Super Mario Bros. U

PS3? Uh, might want to reconsider that one, it easily had the least impressive launch lineup in recent memory.
Why limit to consoles? Gaming PCs are more common than ever with the rise of Steam and that trend is just going continue. I'd also say the "jump" for most launch PS4/XB3 stuff is going to be less than most expect, you'll see lots of current gen ports with the same assets.
Yes, instead they will look like the games we've been playing on Steam for five years.

Yeah, but now they'll sell well.
It's not about content, it's about the graphical jump, which is often needed to push people to overspend for new consoles. PS3 definitely showed it well despite being an incredibly bad launch.

nice lineup...
For me personally it is missing that ONE killer ap (Mario 64 caliber) to make it a launch purchase, so i am content waiting a few more months(or years even)

Mine. Will probably get AssCreed3 for PC, since that's where I have the others.

If Pikmin 3 or P100 was there at launch I would be there Day 1. I feel like I can wait till February March before jumping in.

What was a gaming PCs current lineup then?
Passing on launch. Nothing screams "must have at $60", and software price cuts won't likely happen until late next year due to the launch.

How were mostly inferior 360 ports a graphical jump? Gears 1 shit all over the entire PS3 launch lineup visually.
Most of the games on 360 and a lot more.
Since the other thread is filled with rage posts, anyone else think the fact that ME3 is now dated "launch window" could mean that they're thinking of releasing the ME Trilogy instead? It's the only logical reason i can think of about this "shocking" news.

Not in a million years will you see that happen.
That's pretty much how I feel at this point too.

Such as? I see COD2 and Q4 being the obvious answers, but what else? Did the PC receive ports of the 360 sports games?
edit: why did you cut out Condemned?
Why not? It's the only thing that could save their asses from this whole shitstorm. They already had enough of this with ME3 ending, i doubt they want another one.

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.

Shitstorm? It was their biggest seller. Think they care about a few people whining about endings on gaming forums? The reason why I said 'never' though is that ME1 is a Microsoft published title.
Joke post?

LoL, I see what you did there
But they're releasing the Trilogy on PS3, this isn't an issue anymore.
And they cared enough to release a free extended cut for the ending and a DLC that explain more about Reapers, which is part of the issue people had with the ending.

I respectfully apologize then. I had no idea they were doing that. In that case, I hope you're right. Just releasing ME3 to users that may never have played the first two does seem rather stupid. Hopefully if they do this they spend a lot of time updating the visuals of the first (framerate) and use the touchpad wisely. I'd actually considering rebuying if they did that.

I think it's too late into the game to be porting Mass Effect one and two, along with finishing three for WiiU, and have it out within launch window, much less this Holiday season. I think the more likely opition is the Trilogy to be released later on for WiiU, though I doubt that as well.

360 sports games? You mean those uprezzed PS2 games?
Condemned was developed and always planned as multi, even though 360 got a nice little window for the fiscal year.

This is a surprisingly strong launch lineup. I'm trying to think of one that's stronger, but I'm drawing a blank. There's no killer app (for me, at least) but I can appreciate that there won't be a lack of anything to play.

Say what you will about the launch window but launch day is actually extremely solid, definitely the best launch Nintendo has had in years. Truly is something for everyone. Sad to see Wonderful 101, Rayman and Pikmin 3 will miss launch day but that was to be expected.
Sucks that U.S. doesn't launch with Monster Hunter HD and the Dragon Quest beta like Japan does.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Prove that statement.

Pikmin and wonderful are the bone for everybody hungry in a few months. Yet, where is madden? I won't buy it but WTF are they doing? It may be a few weeks late but interest in football, in december, is low. College is over and waiting for bowls and playoff seeds are being set. Not exactly the run up to september baseball, it's kind of bleak.
