The Full List Of Wii U Launch Titles Features 52 Games (Update)

Posted on Wednesday, September 26 @ 08:27:00 Eastern by



Update: Nintendo has revealed an official list of launch titles. Two Activision games initially slated for Holiday 2012 release, Wipeout 3 and Skylanders Giants, have now been added to the Nov. 18 lineup.

Nintendo unleashed a torrent of information on their upcoming Wii U console, which will debut in North America on November 18th at a $299 price point, including an exclusive deal for Bayonetta 2, Nintendo TVii, and a name change for Project P-100 to The Wonderful 101.

However, it's usually confusing for any new launch title lineup to nail down just which titles are launch titles, launch window titles, or TBD. So combined with information received during the press event and Nintendo's own Wii U website, we have the following launch lineup for the Wii U.

    I think the ports as well as the COD:BO3 and AC3 are good signs for the system.

    It's hard to get people to pay $300 dollars for a console to play a game that can be played on the console they already own.

    Which is why consoles always sell for the exclusives. *ALWAYS*. And people will buy the WiiU for those exclusives. Hell, they already have bought the WiiU. Preorders closed in less than a week everywhere in the U.S., because so many folks want one. New Super Mario Bros U alone is going to sell millions of systems.

    For good or for bad, that's the truth.

    Agreed, Mario moves consoles. But I think the initial pre-orders are just Nintendo fans and the "I gotta have the new shiny" personalities. It's going to be interesting to see if this thing takes off like the Wii.

    I only see 1 or 2 titles at launch worth playing at all (that I haven't already played). I thought the 90s were over.....

    The tablet screen should make menu options a lot more fluid I really enjoyed not having to go through so many menus on mgs3d... I bet they will have lots of ports In the future as well

    It's on WiiWare download isn't it? And they said all of that is still going to be available on the WiiU.

    Oh, thanks! Better than nothing I guess, I was really hoping for the rumours of a remake to be true, but I guess N64 graphics will do.

    I gotta say that launch lineup already looks better than most of the Wii's library. That first batch of reviews is gonna be mighty interesting to read.
    Unfortunately, I'm betting games like Batman or Darksiders II are only gonna offer minor improvements over the other existing versions which is gonna lead most to question why get the U when they can already play those games in their current systems.

    I really don't want to buy another system just to play Bayonetta 2. I'll get one in a couple years after they fix whatever bugs there are and drop the price.

    Nothing here is really getting me excited about this console.

    Nothing that screams to me you must buy a Wii U, like Rouge Leader did back on the Gamecube. Even in the launch window there is little i care about.

    Oh well, i don't buy systems at launch anymore anyway, not until they get more support.
