Wii U Games 2013
- Thread starter Captain Smoker
- Start date
I know it's a bit early, but I'm curious as to if Smash Bros. 4 will sell more on the 3DS or on the Wii U. They're supposed to have sort of communication with each other (cross-platform play?), and it'll be interesting to see what version will be chosen by the average consumer.

Anyone know if The Amazing Spider-Man will be available in the eshop?

If they do that, hopefully it'll be 49.96 and not 59.96
If and when they'll announce it for the West, the OP will be updated ;p
Oh, so sad Dragon Quest X haven't been confirmed for the West. =(
If I'm able to sell my Wii, I can get a Wii U for $220 but I'm still not convinced. Though I'm having a lot of time, as the games I'm waiting for won't be out for a while (Bayo2, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash 4, Zelda, Wind Waker, Pikmin 3, W101 etc.).
New Super Mario Bros. U and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is what is pulling me so far.

I vote there should be a 3DS Games 2013 thread. 
So no trailer then? Thats disappointing
Yes there will be a trailer. He said "you've all been waiting a long time," implying that we only have to wait a little longer. He did not say there would be no trailer.
Seriously, I can't help be kind of excited to get a Wii U.
I haven't played my copy of Bayonetta yet but I can't wait and Bayonetta 2 is coming out exclusively for Wii U. I loved the style of Viewtiful Joe and Wonderful 101 reminds me of that style a bit. I have never played Smash Bros but have always wanted to. I got stuck in Wind Waker and didn't like it that much but OoT 3D got me interested in the franchise. I have always wanted to try out Monster Hunter, now the Ultimate edition comes exclusively for Wii U (and 3DS). I couldn't get into Mario Galaxy but have always had something for Mario and Mario Kart 7 is the best kart racer I have played since Crash Team Racing and now Wii U also gets a Mario Kart. I always wanted to try out the original Pikmin, now Pikmin 3 comes out. I'm also very curious about X.
I'm not for Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Kirby or Yoshi but the rest is interesting. I'm hoping for a F-Zero and Star Fox.

Yup. None of their games are on the eShop. Not even Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Which still makes no sense since it's available on PSN and Xbox Marketplace.

OP is missing Wii Party U and Wii Fit U, both confirmed for release by summer.

Welcome to Wii U's 2nd launch month! (At least, that's what I'm calling it.) In fact, it mirror's the November launch in a lot of ways. Let's look at the games most of which are coming out on 3/19 and how they compare to previous launch titles.
The "Really old/half-assed port hoping to sell copies because it stars a superhero" AKA Batman:AA
The Amazing Spider-Man (Out today $39.99 But TrU has this and Batman:AA at $29.99) At least Activision is smart enough to put this old game at a fairly decent price and all the previously released DLC to attract enough customers to purchase. but I'm expecting to see it at $19.99 in two months.
The "Probably going to be garbage FPS done for a cheap buck" AKA James Bond: Legends
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct ($49.99 Out 3/19) - Does anyone expect this game to be any good? It just screams "quick cash-in" to me.
The "Racing game that actually takes advantage of the Wii U hardware" AKA Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Most Wanted U - ($59.99 Out 3/19) Criterion itself is saying that this is the best console version. It even uses the PC textures and lighting with a better frame rate. Hopefully, the fact that it's a 5 month old port doesn't hurt it's sales.
The "3rd party exclusive that will do okay, but not near as well as everyone hopes" AKA ZombiU
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate - ($59.99 Out 3/19) Am I the only one that thinks Capcom is overpricing the Wii U version a bit? this is a great series, but has a hard time attracting new customers (especially with it's shit demos). I think coming in at $39.99-$49.99 would attract more new players.
The "Big, family friendly game that everyone's really looking forward to." AKA NSMBU
Lego City: Undercover - ($49.99 Out, you guessed it, 3/19 but GameStop is saying 3/18) I'm really looking forward to this one. A family fun GTA clone written by comedians. Travelers Tales has been working on this one for a long time and I'm super excited. This and MH3 are already pre-ordered and paid off.
So what game/s are you buying this month?

Great post!
Is NFS: MW really confirmed to be $60? At $40, I'd get it for sure, but full price for a late port (even if it's "improved) means that I'll probably wait for the price drop...
I'm pretty sure I'll get Lego City Undercover. I'll wait for a few reviews to pop up just to make sure there's nothing nasty in the game, but I'm sure it'll be at least good, if not great.

Fantastic OP!
Very bare bones line-up so far, but I'll bite when Wind Waker releases or maybe earlier if I feel I need to punish myself with Monster Hunter.

Definitely:
Need for Speed Most Wanted U
LEGO City Undercover
Maybe:
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Amazing Spider-Man Ultimate Edition (I didn't play the other one, and this includes DLC on disc)
If I buy all 4, then that's 13 games bought in the "launch window", not including eShop.

Speaking of DQX, the beta starts today in Japan, but you need to be in the country to play & have a premium model. Will be trying it out later!
Ehh.. Just want to make sure you guys don't jump down his throat if we don't get a trailer.
Iwata confirmed just screens from the game and we know how reserved Sakurai is when it' related to his work so don't expect to see too much from it this year, let alone a trailer.
Please share impressions in here.

Can I have a link to the 'just screens' quote, plx
Please share impressions in here.
Of course.
Capcom IP he has nothing to say something about: " Ask Capcom."
Financial things: " Ask Inaba."
Things he has nothing to do with: " Ask your mom."
You are annoying him: " Do you eat shit? Fuck off./ May I block you?"
Spiderman, Monster Hunter, LCU, NFS:MW, aaaand probably TWD

Wii Party U has some nice ideas actually.

My favorite part is the twister game with fingers.

i must've glazed over this one somehow, this looks great. i've become a fan of the Mii aesthetic lately.
A little bit of extra gloss and the Wii U has really made the Miis look nice.
It's also amazing how the extra parts the 3DS added helped. Going back to the Mii Maker on the Wii side seems so limited now.

Yeah, this game seems to come with some fun gameplay ideas. Defintely on my radar.
They're looking more toy-like now. Like puppets or marionettes. It's kinda rad.

Got home 5:30...It's not 8:07 and still 1 hour 20 minutes to go to install the SQX update. :S
I really hope they'll reveal Wii Sport U at E3, with at least 12 sports as for Resort, with a combination of GamePad and Remote controls (and mixed controls for asymmetric multiplayer).
They showed not only golf nut also baseball back at E3 11

Batman:AA when did this come out?
Can imagine their servers are getting pummelled a bit by people doing this, but they REALLY do need to sort this out

Heh, it didn't.
Sure.

Seems pretty straight forward to me.
You can definitely tell Sakurai is in no rush to finish or even present the game so...
Although a trailer is a possibility I wouldn't count on that.
Well the Wii U's Mii Maker basically presents them like that what with them being stacked on shelves. Personally I preferred when they would walk about but I guess you get that with the Wara Wara Plaza.

ah damn I was hoping I missed a new port to Wii U that might have not come to eShop

Hmm, funny in Japanese they (Iwata and Sakurai tweets) always used the word referring to video. Well, we'll see.
i still think it's very possible for them to release a similar hook that the Wii had. the whole "golf" demo alone could still easily impress many modern families. kinect is cool technology, just misapplied. i don't think it's apprpriate at all for family games who need simplicity. i think Nintendo Land could still work for the general public audience, but I think it needs Wii Sports to really help sell it. both of those games should come bundled together in the next iteration of bundles.
I always think Nintendo would have include a drawing application with WiiU.
I remember seeing someone drawing Link in the concept demo.
I'm not that good at drawing but i want Colors! for WiiU.
