With a new console, there needs to be games, right? And, uh, the Wii U has 'em. Nintendo's apparently winning over third-party developers, as several have pledged support with their titles. Here's a list of what was shown in a brief montage during the E3 2011 press conference:

• Darksiders 2
• Batman: Arkham City
• "Tekken"
• Assassin's Creed: Revelations
• Lego City Stories
• Ghost Recon Online
• DiRT
• Aliens: Colonial Marines
• Metro: Last Light
• Ninja Gaiden 3: Razer's Edge

EA CEO John Riccitiello also pledged support from EA for the Wii U, with a brief montage hinting at Battlefield 3 and Army of Two for the new console.

 

... i still don't understand how they expect the ~100M ps360 users to care.

Isn't the WiiU not coming out till 2012?  I don't really expect people to be rushing to buy a new console to play old ports.

What I dont get is why did they just show the controller ?

Why not show the console as well ?

That controller cant be the console... well that's what I think.

And they kept calling it the Wii U controller so ... yeah I am confused thanks Nintendo :S

The first thing I thought of when I heard Wii U was the chick from Kung Pow that always goes "Weeeoooeeooeeeooooo!"

Like that Aliens game they showed

Well, whatever it is, the games look good.

Please tell me that they're going to switch the control sliders for joysticks/analog sticks . . .

They showed footage of a bunch of ports (if they were even running on Nintendo hardware), and little or no footage of any new games for it.

I am still eagerly anticipating the sequel to that...  IT WILL HAPPEN!

 

By the way all those people saying GTAV will be on WIItu (tu comes from combining 'Two' and 'U', see much more imaginative)  were right... just look at Lego City they even kept the same minimap :|

Machina said: Reminds me of the sort of 'support' the Wii got in the early days. It's not the flood of third party support that had been rumoured; it feels weak, limited and very non-commital.

Power enough to produce 3rd party parity will lead to a flood of support all its own. Perhaps a poorly optimized flood, but a flood all the same. All the random junk that hits all consoles will hit there too, and that's the important takeaway
