Why's that, oniyide?

Alot of these games people have been clamoring for have been in development for years, probably long before they got any Wii U dev kits, maybe some of them didnt even get any dev kits, hell maybe some just straight didnt even want to mess with the Wii U (crytek) my point is it was completly unrealistic to expect every single HD game to go to Wii U. Be happy with what you're getting which isnt really bad

It's definitely not a day-one purchase for me, mainly because the only exclusive that I'm interested in so far is New Super Mario Bros. U. But I will definitely buy WiiU someday.

Nop, I always need a good price and 3 games I want.
Right now we don't know anything about price and only 1 game interest me, so no buy till the goals are reached



Gonna buy it... Bored with PS360, I play Gamecube by these days.



The disappointment is wearing off and ZombiU is growing on me. Honestly, Wii U has a terrific launch line-up. It doesn't have a heavy-hitting "core" franchise, but it has a varied assortment of excellent-looking games. Everyone went crazy over the Wii in 2006 for a lot less -- basically Zelda (a port at that), Red Steel, and Wii Sports. Nintendo Land looks way better than Wii Sports, plus Wii U Fit is coming, which takes care of that market. Red Steel is alright, but how does it hold up against Assassin's Creed, Rayman Legends, Scribblenauts, ZombiU, and LEGO City Undercover in the third-party department? That just leaves Zelda -- and I think brand new, not-ported Pikmin and 2D Mario are more than enough compensation.

Again...after getting over my disappointment that we didn't see Retro's next game, F-Zero, Metroid, etc., the only thing that concerns me is that we haven't heard confirmation of Wii U versions of most of the big multiplatform games coming in the next 12 months. Dead Space 3, Tomb Raider, Medal of Honor, Need For Speed, Watch Dogs (!), Splinter Cell, Far Cry... all these games coming to PS3 and 360, and not yet confirmed for Wii U. The sort of games the Wii didn't get. I just want to know that Wii U will get all of the big multiplatform games in the next few years.

I'm not worried about Call of Duty or EA Sports because even the Wii got those games. Activision and EA like money too much not to make them available on every possible console.

After the first shock I realized the launch line-up is actually quite spectacular. A beautiful Super Mario game, a new Wii Fit, Just Dance 4? And Nintendoland looks extremely great after learning about the games (just their on stage presentation was awful). Pikmin 3 looks amazing and there is a new Wario Ware kind of game.

These were just the launch window games (no later than March 2013) and looking at the sales potential of the titles shown this will be the biggest launch line-up in history (the Nintendo titles alone could sell 50 million units and Ubisoft's lineup is 10+ million as well)

I'm totally hyped for Super Mario Bros, my girlfriend will love Wii Fit and both of us will play Pikmin. Nintendoland will provide a great party game. It's the best launch lineup I've ever seen. Which is crazy considering how disappointed I was after watching the conference.

OH MY GOD, that's exactly the problem!! These are the leaders of the industry, they dished consoles to more homes than the other two, and with the WiiU design they also did everything to make sure 3rd parties were happy. And now, with all that, we still get zilch on multiplats? Where was BOII?? We know it will release on time with the others, but why didn't they say so?? This is not just some random 3rd party game, it's a record breaking, massive game selling series!

COME ON oniyide, now you're just heaping on insult to injury. Nobody's insane here, you just don't get it.



Sad thing is most 3rd-party budget for the WiiU is low, so expect a very small team to port the games and as a result the game will not look as good as the PS360....



I have no problem personally with the launch line-up, those are never overwhelming. The presentation was bad in my opinion because it gave the impression of a Lack of Vision.

Nintendo didn't show anything being released further down the line, I still don't understand the direction they intend to take with this new console, and I didn't feel like there was any guarantee this generation would be different for them.

So far all I see is an HD Wii with mostly Wii games, and some UE3 ports which as far as I know could stop coming at a moment's notice.

Nintendo has openly admitted that gamers agree to buy a new console only as a sort of compromise in order to get new and better games, yet they showed NOTHING NEW OR BETTER.

Not only is this a bad way to market to the core gamers they are allegedly going after, it's also poor use of the Wii brand-name, seeing as it didn't feel like they were being faithful to their own message to the casual demographic. There was no sense of a lifestyle benefit to having this new machine, it was just more of the same, but in HD (aka "Better").



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

I'm sold. I saw what I wanted plus a bit more. Pikmin 3 alone sold me on it, then NSMB, ZombiU, Lego City, Rayman Legends and Assassin's Creed just made it better. A new WarioWare and the intriguing Project P-100 too, I loved practically everything, including NintendoLand, though I'm not sure that I'd shell out full price for that unless it came with a controller or something.
