Best Wii U launch games to buy, and which ones you should avoid

If this article is correct:

Then I'd steer clear of AC3, unless you don't mind missing features (just like Madden, which is listed in the OP).

And I think that the completely revamped Ninja Gaiden is worth checking out. That one a truly the definitive version, and shows how to take an older game a make it seem new. Or at least how to make shit look like gold.
