Vita 4th? but.. but... Vita has no gameZ!

Are they just counting one specific region, or are they counting every different launch title in each region?

would be fun to see the same list without any old ports on any console...

FantaVision lul that game was something else.

Isn't the Wii's list missing Wii Sports?

When I get the Wii-U i am going to have sex with it. I have never been so excited over something since Snes and N64. Its about damm time. The one game I CANNOt wait for is a sequel to Metroid Prime designed for Wii-U...........hold on I think I just made a hole in my pants.....

Aaaw Kepto, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed then =( We'll most likely get a new Metroid, but follow up to the Prime series =/ but who knows??

It seems strange how different the Wii launch is to the Wii U. Before the Wii launched I heard the mainstream media talking about it whereas the Wii U forces me to actively look for information and even the gaming sites don't seem to be saying much about it. It has a big launch but it is as if no one cares that the sequel to the best selling console of a previous generation is launching.

Maybe I will like it even more ^.^
