With the European launch date of 30th November fast approaching, hype for Nintendo’s new console is picking up pace. Speculation on final tech specs, the quality of the gamepad, software lineup and the consoles other services is widespread, whilst pre orders are said to be doing very well indeed.
The Wii U’s “launch window” software list is huge, spanning fifty, that’s right, fifty titles that will be hitting the shelves between launch day and the end of March 2013. The worry for most is that several of the games are ports of existing PS3 and Xbox 360 titles whilst some sound like weak shovelware or temporary kids distractions. But there are also some real corkers on the list that deserve your attention and are a great reason to pick up a shiny new Nintendo on day one should your wallet allow.
You think Zombi U will be the top selling launch title? Interesting.
I'm mostly looking forward to NSMBU and Nintendo Land, which to me seems more like a 'game collection' than a 'mini game collection'.
I was going to bypass the WiiU because I didn't want to be tricked into buying another nintendo console with little 3rd party support and lack of exclusives. To my surprise, the WiiU is getting some hardcore games (albeit, most of them are ports) and some nice exclusives (Pikmin 3, ZombieU and Bayonetta gaining my interest....and of course Zelda and Mario).
Unfortunately I won't be able to afford it as of now but I have had a change of heart. I think Nintendo is on the right track back.
ZombiU and NSMBU for me.
ZombiU and AC 3 are a given for me. Eventually I will get Wonderful 101. As for a forth game I have my eyes on either Tekken or Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper.
