The full list of games that will be available on launch day for Nintendo’s next-generation Wii U console has now been revealed. Some of them are new, some of them have been available on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 for a while, but there are a couple of gems in there that are sure to get people excited.
In terms of AAA, gamers can look forward to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition and ZombiU. Traditional Nintendo characters will get a look in too, with New Super Mario Bros. U and the mini-game mashup Nintendo Land, though the latter of those two will come bundled with the Premium Edition of the console.
Must be the thousandth Mario game, but it wouldn't be a Nintendo launch without one
The only sports title available on day one will be Fifa 13, but indie games get more of a look in. Trine 2: Director’s Cut will make an appearance, along with shooter Nano Assault Neo and Toki Tori 2.
For any that I missed, here’s the full list:
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
- FIFA 13
- Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- Nintendo Land
- Rayman Legends
- ZombiU
- Trine 2: Director’s Cut
- Toki Tori 2
- Nano Assault Neo
Other games will follow shortly after, with new announcement Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate appearing some time before March 2013.
KitGuru Says: Monster Hunter is the big one for me there. Here’s hoping it’s a little more than a graphically improved Tri, but even then I could probably live with that. What about you guys? What’s got your excited, or not?
