bet: lost

Around the Network

Mass Effect 3 and NSMU /Zombiu being a close 2nd



I didn't actually play it on Wii U, but I'd go with Arkham City.



Mass Effect 3. It was so good it made me replay ME2 and buy ME3 again [on PC] to have access to full save imports.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Darksiders 2 because it was the launch-game i thought used the gamepad best and was a great game

Call me crazy, but I'm gonna say Black Ops II.

For a Call of Duty game, I thought it was very good overall, I liked what they did with the campaign, and the Wii U version for a multiplat was pretty solid overall I'd say.

Black ops II is my favorite of the frachise, one of the best FPS multiplayers so you are not that crazy

OT: Batmak Arkham City, that game is a masterpiece.



                                                                                     

As weird as it may sound... I think it was Nintendo Land. Other games were mostly (bad) ports and New Super Mario Bros. U, which was decent, but so similar to its predecessors... not to mention the lack of ambition (bad graphics and the same old OST).

So yeah, even if Nintendo Land ended up being a decent game at best, I still think it was the best available at Wii U's launch. If only it had online...

From third parties... I would definitely pick ZombiU. It was badly executed and too short, but the concept was great, the gamepad use was phenomenal and it was something fresh.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Black Ops II takes it for me.
In fact, it was my overall GOTY for 2012.
Cool yet believable near-future tech, great Wiimote + Nunchuk controls, an awesome villain, and a well implemented branching paths system made for perhaps the best campaign in series history in my opinion.



Best first party game was Mario U and the best third party was Zombie U.



Poor Sonic Racing Tranformed... :(

Also, I'm surprised to see Nintendoland currently above Mass Effect 3 and Arkham City in votes.
