Man, the floodgates of Nintendo intel have opened!

Pfffffft. Gamecube U.

I'll get the new Mario and LEGO Grand Theft Auto, but Nintendo Land isn't going on my shelf anytime soon. When one of the gaming companies throw their weight behind something (especially Sony) it tends to bomb.

Edit: He added a ***-ton more games, of which Sonic Transformed is the only other one I would get.

LEGO City is first party?

My thoughts on Wii U games has been the same. Take any 3 Wii U games coming out and compare them to my excitement for Borderlands 2, Last of Us, and GTA V and see who wins...

I'm glad about this and I'm still going to get WiiU opening day, but I was kind of expecting a little more launch DAY. If they don't release anything major like ZombiU, Rayman Legends, or Pikmin 3 extremely fast, my WiiU might just be taking a little break. P.S. No I'm not trying to troll, I just wish they had more opening day stuff, not launch window.

"I" will admit this is a solid lineup.
by lovemeorshootme Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:12 AM

To be honest not many of those seem that great, the only Wii U exclusive there that interest me was Zombie u, the one other was Monster hunter which is just a remake of 3. And these are game that go through march, so also considering that its not that good at all in my opinion.
by GSWarriorsFan Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:13 AM

Some decent games there, but I wonder what will be available at launch.
by Nathonaj Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:13 AM

There should be absolutely no complaints about the lack of titles for launch now. Nintendo really wants there to be something for everyone at the start.

Give me liberty or give me F-Zero.
by Cakapoo Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:15 AM

don't think they have enough games lol. hopefully the online portion works when the system launches
by Warrior Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:16 AM

This lineup is freaking awesome!! Ninja Gaiden!!! I can't wait!!!
by jezuitx Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:20 AM

Wii U looks to be having a decent launch. Now what remains to be seen is what Nintendo calls "launch window". These windows keep getting bigger and bigger...least that's what it feels like.
by doomsday1155 Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:20 AM

Okay I guess. It seems to have more first and third party games than the 3DS did, but it still doesn't seem too noteworthy to me.
by Grognard66 Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:21 AM

A four month launch "window"?
by Brittany Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:22 AM

Ok, but which ones will come out the same day as the console?
by Jessica Welter Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 10:23 AM

MONSTER HUNTER 3 ULTIMATE!!!
