I can't put all my percentage faith in a man I thought wouldn't be making games much longer
the very fact that he is even discussing developing games is enough for me, I honestly thought dude was done for, lol.
Yeah probably. I guess it is too much to ask for far cry 3 at this point. It would be swell though

Even if it did, I'm not sure if I'd prefer it on a console vs my PC. But it would still be nice to have the option

Did Far Cry for Wii even sell that good? I remember it being awful, but I was curious about the sales.
I'm honestly not sure, probably at least half a mil due to it being released shortly after the Wii came out.

I'm just sick of upgrading my PC all the time...but I guess if I can run Battlefield 3, I'll be able to run Far Cry 3.
The killer-app for me, aside from Pikmin 3, would be PSO2.
Perfect fit for Wii U interface wise, pop-up keyboard on tablet to communicate, better map, inventory management would be 10x better than before on consoles, everything about it says Wii U.
Just hoping a Western release is finally announced at E3, and if console versions are as well that Wii U is part of that. Would be a nice way to get the Nintendo Network underway as well, and make ammends for the huge clusterfuck that was PSO GC and the broadband adaptor.

Actually, with this being Ubisoft we are talking about 3 of the titles are probably 3DS ports of those Horsez/Babyz/Gangstaz games.
It would look pretty shitty if Wii U got ass creed 3 later than everyone else. I'm hoping for an October launch for Wii U, and ass creed as one of the launch window titles.
I know Nintendo always releases shit in November. But why compete with the likes of COD, RE6 and a bunch of other major releases? Is there any reason why they shouldn't release Wii U before that crazy holiday release window? Its the battlefield 3 strategy....get it out there early so it isn't consumed by everything else.

Well on the positive side, Wii U would get Assassins Creed 3 before PC..right?
This was announced last year:
"Assassin's Creed, Ghost Recon Online and Rabbids games are all in development for Wii U, Ubisoft has announced. "
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-06-07-ubisoft-reveals-wii-u-games
AC3 for Wii U is pretty much given.
I am expecting Wii U to be released in September in US/EU (July-Aug in Japan).

Though I didn't find any sales figures regarding Far Cry: Vengeance, I remember it was received poorly by both press and consumers, and thus probably sold in small numbers. What's interesting though is that Ubisoft during the conference call today expressed interest in becoming third party market leader for Wii U at launch, as they were with Wii in 2006:
With six titles that could be ready for Wii U launch, there is a strong chance they will achieve this goal. Well, at least if the titles aren't entirely comprised of Petz and Imagine Gymnast.

Only 50,000 in it's first 12 days, but that's all I know.

"Ubisoft originally expected to sell 1 million copies of Red Steel 2, but after poor sales of their game Avatar, they slashed their sales predictions in half. According to Jason VendenBerghe at his keynote speech at the 2010 European game developers conference, Red Steel 2 has sold approximately 270,000 copies worldwide"
Far Cry 3 would be nice, considering it´s out in September it would be a great launch title.

Thats the only info I can find though. Sorry ):

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
A want a Rabbids Go Home sequel. Of course that will never happen, instead we get Killer Freaks. I'm all open for fresh ideas, but RGH was a genuinely good game. KFFOS seems too much like a L4D Family Edition to me. Oh well, I hope I'm wrong on both accounts.
You don't have to apologize for anything. I was merely pointing it out. Quite frankly, that's really all we know about the game's sales anyway.

I thought the Assassins Creed for the Wii U was going to be different than Assassins Creed 3. So the release date for AC 3 really shouldnt matter. The Wii U wont get it late because its not getting AC 3.
Ubisoft never said that AC on Wii U wouldn't be AC3.

Ah, Ok. Thanks for clarifying.
I think it makes sense to launch it earlier than holidays. Early adopters can then go out and get it, leaving them time to replenish stock for the holiday season, and it would get it out there and get the hype machine moving even faster.
Also, if I'm getting the Wii U in August versus November that's more money for me to spend on games in the holiday season.
And I just want it as soon as possible. =)

Like the 360 cases? Ew, no thanks.
I just want them to differentiate their next home console from the Wii. They can change the console name for a start because txt spk sux! Also, given how the 3DS name, design and game cases has caused consumer confusion they really need to take the hint and not repeat the same mistake with their home console. Lastly, I do not want the default console colour to be white. It will cause more confusion and frankly, I want a change. I loved the white DS Lite and Wii when they were introduced but I need a change thanks.
Want! Want! WANT!!!
Turok DH is the game that got me really into gaming so I have enormous affection for that title. However, they would probably make the gameplay contemporary like the recent Goldeneye game, which I hated. Archaic FPS gameplay or nowt for me lad!
Some of the United team were playing keepy ups and Becks hoofed the ball out of the training ground saying "'Ave it!!!" mimicking the John Smiths advert. When the ball came down it broke Gary Neville's windscreen lol. That's one of my favourite adverts, a real classic.
Heh! I had forgotten that ad, thanks
. I assumed G Neville had finally pushed Beckham to the edge and he snapped! I would imagine G Neville could have that effect on people! Oooh, good point! However, I think we all know that the covers are going to be swamped with logos and crap. The best we can hope for is reversible covers with a logo free version of the cover or an alternative cover, I would imagine. I don't know why they can't do a logo free cover, apart from the console name and game name, and put all the other crap on the back!
Who is more dangerous?
A Nintendo Ninja
A Sony Samurai
A Microsoft Mercenary
looking at how much leaks we got from Nintendo so far... its the Nintendo Ninja...
Yes but most Microsoft 'leaks' are deliberate
.I imagine he was inferring the national stereotype with regard to fizzy pop!

Yes but they still made an obscene profit because it only cost 50p to port Far Cry to the Wii.
I actually played that game for all of 20 mins on a free game rental service trial. It was execrable. Red Steel was a classic, in comparison.
Oh and I too find you, Rösti, to be a fine new member. In fact I would go so far as to say that you are the best new member since, well, me

I think we can safely add a Rabbids game and a Just Dance game of some description to the list. I'm quite surprised (perhaps even impressed..?) that only 2 out of the 6 games are aimed at the 'casual' demographic if those are the 6 titles from Ubisoft.
I'm definitely getting Freaks and the Rabbids game on launch day if they're available.

Trying to think logically... I know, I know, logic has no place here .
(Since this is the thread that goes in circles)
Games announced for Wii U that is already released/will be released this year:
Batman Arkham City (already released)
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors Edge (March, also confirmed to be a launch title for Wii U)
Darksiders 2 (June)
Aliens: Colonial Marines (fall 2012)
Assassins Creed 3 (October) (1st Ubisoft game)
Lego City Stories (2012)
Ghost Recon Online (2nd Ubisoft game)
Ubisoft Multi Sports game (3rd Ubisoft game)
EA Sports games (Fifa, Madden, etc.)
Along with these games, there will be a few Nintendo titles, such as Pikmin 3(I hope).
Games that might be released this year:
New Rabbids game (4th Ubisoft game)
Killer Freaks from Outer Space (5th Ubisoft game)
Dragon Quest X
TBD:
Project Cars
6th Ubisoft game (Far Cry 3, Just Dance or something else?)
Tekken
Games that will be released next year or later:
Metro: Last Light
Super Smash Bros.
Any games I missed here?
Anyway, there are a lot of games that will most likely be released this year for Wii U. Most that we know of, are high profile games. Lets not forget that these are the games we know of so far (wait for E3).
There is no way all of these games will sell well if Wii U is released in November or later. Even October is pushing it. In my opinion, September is the latest launch month, if Nintendo wants to spread out all of the upcoming titles to give these titles a chance of selling well.

It looks like a game that was ripped right out of a mid 90s cartoon show that used CGI.
And it's based on an 80s anime show that didn't use CGI at all. At some point early in development, Manfred Trenz of Turrican fame was involved, but he left the project.
I know I watched this when I was a kid, but that horrible video didn´t get my memory going one bit.
You know I am actually really interested in seeing what EA does. Not just with helping Nintendo with the network, but also their sports line up.
Madden on Wii U will be the first, hopefully, of the new Madden games for the next gen. Last time around even though they tried, the Wii version was just a lesser product. Now hopefully with comparable graphics (HD at least) and brand new way to play again, I hope they can achieved what they tried with the Wii Madden but failed to deliver.
Hype levels are going through the roof the more I realize we know next to nothing, haven't seen the thing in almost a full year, and they have soo soo soo much to reveal and show.

Sounds like Dragon Quest for the WiiU is a 2013 title, while the Wii version will be a late 2012.

Christian Svensson gives Capcom's official line on RE6 for Wii U, and it's pretty much what I had expected:
I'd be pretty shocked if it isn't announced at E3.

Absolute bull crap that devs can't.announce games.

It doesn't really matter. An E3 blowout will have more chutzpah anyway. Maybe nintendo wants to keep the Wii U as hush hush as possible as not to drive down Wii sales even further?
