UPDATE



Could we rename the thread into "Wii U Games 2013 / 2014", since we have confirmed games for 2014 and we're halfway through 2013 anyway.


Picture Updates:

Release Date / New announced:

2014 - Year of Wii U

 

[Shard]

Missing a couple of products there in Wii Fit U and Wii Party U.

 

[Bullza2o]

Alright! Great job on the new additions!

Yeah I'm thinking I'm gonna be broke in 2014 lol.

 

[Roo]

Great job.
Just to let you know that Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country Tropial Freeze have Off-TV Play according to Nintendo's Press images.

 

[KingSnake]

2014 is going to be epic on Wii U.

 

[Lusankya]

2014 is going to be epic on Wii U.

3DS released in 2011, mixed reception because of the lack of great games
-> beloved handheld in 2013 because of so many great games

WiiU released in (december) 2012, mixed reception because of the lack of great games
-> beloved console in 2014 because of so many great games?

 

[daxgame]

OP, I think you missed Scribblenauts Unmasked?

 

[Kurtofan]

Is RE Revelations better on Wii U? Didn't buy the game on 3DS.

 

[Aostia]

great work as usual, OP

 

[ihasaflavour]

Over the last few days, I was disappointed with what Nintendo brought this year. 3DS aside. Now for some reason...the Wonderful 101 is literally tempting me to buy the system today. And because of that, all of these titles (released, and coming soon) are seen in a whole new light...

hail Nintendo...

 

[Aostia]

Man, I've jsut realized this...
Is Wii U the platform paradise? Yes it is...

 

[deleted]

I just discovered this thread. Great work! Keep it up.

 

[daxgame]

OP, I think you missed Scribblenauts Unmasked?

also here's some dates for you

 

[Aostia]

also here's some dates for you

are those dates, or just "months"?

 

[Sendou]

are those dates, or just "months"?

If you look closely you can see dates and months. Big numbers like 6, 7 and 8 are months of course.

Spoiler

[BengaBenga]

Shown in a list like this, the WiiU line-up for the next year, year-and-a-half looks phenomenal really. Also extremely diverse.

Man, I've jsut realized this...
Is Wii U the platform paradise? Yes it is...

And don't forget NSMB U / Luigi U and Oddworld for example.

Is RE Revelations better on Wii U? Didn't buy the game on 3DS.

Would like to know this as well. Have a 360 and a DS and soon a WiiU. Is there a consensus around the best version?

Is RE Revelations better on Wii U? Didn't buy the game on 3DS.

Having played the WiiU demo and the 3DS game... i suggest the 3DS version.

 

[zroid]

Huh, is 3D World really December? Eek

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Having played the WiiU demo and the 3DS game... i suggest the 3DS version.

Why? I loved the U version, it looked and played amazing, and you don't need a peripheral just to be able to move the camera.

The U version has off tv play, miiverse stuff and an extra mode, so it's probably the best. I think they all look on par.

 

[Captain Smoker]

Changed the style of recommendations.

Simpler, but it's better for visibility.

Added Resident Evil: Revelations.

Now sorted by Genre.

 

[onipex]

Great thread. Maybe it's been discussed , but no indie/download only games on the list or even in the recommendations?

 

[Capell]

Apparently Bayonetta 2 supports Off-TV Play?

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Bayonetta-2-765382.html

- Bayonetta’s longtime friend and fellow Umbra Witch, Jeanne, appears in the game (as a non-playable character) to assist Bayonetta in performing combination attacks and in doling out intense punishment against enemies.

- Take the action off the big screen and enjoy Off-TV Play using the Wii U GamePad

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sonic lost world is coming out October 12

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/s...oss-floating-planets-in-sonic-lost-world.aspx

WHY?! They should separate it like a week or two.

 

[Frodo]

Great job, as always, OP!

Damn... This last half of the year will be heavy on my wallet... :~~

 

[Scoot2005]

Deus Ex HR DC is listed on the eshop as coming soon. Is this new or was it already there?

Edit - Can someone please answer this.

 

[Captain Smoker]

http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Bayonetta-2-765382.html

thx.


Updated Bayonetta 2.


Also: Slightly new style, easier to read.

 

[HyperHip]

Sonic and Pokemon on the same week? Is Sega Nuts??

 

[Arc Christelle]

This list looks good as hell!...

I have a question, because I see so many quality titles I want in this line-up.

What's the worst game on Wii U?

[Has to be legitimately bad.]

 

[Dang0]

Might wanna fix the date on this one.

 

[ozfunghi]

I still don't understand why Mass Effect 3 isn't on that list. The game AND port are arguably better than AC3.

Why? I loved the U version, it looked and played amazing, and you don't need a peripheral just to be able to move the camera.

What are you talking about? I played the 3DS game on my standard 3DS without a peripheral. It played better than the WiiU demo, especially aiming was MUCH better on the 3DS version.

 

[cyberheater]

What happened to the Yoshi game?

*Injustice:God among us.
*Tekken Tag 2.

 

[HerbertFish]

I dont know why I thought 2013 had a bad lineup. Now I check out OP and my wallet is crying hard.

 

[schuelma]

I dont know why I thought 2013 had a bad lineup. Now I check out OP and my wallet is crying hard.

My purchases in 2013 is going to go from literally just buying Monster Hunter and playing it for 6 months to probably getting multiple games per month in the second half of the year.

 

[Captain Smoker]

I still don't understand why Mass Effect 3 isn't on that list. The game AND port are arguably better than AC3.

I just forgot it, I'll add it later.

What happened to the Yoshi game?

They didn't mention it at E3 2013 at all, that's why I put it as "TBA" with FE x SMT and Zelda U.

 

[StreetsAhead]

What happened to the Yoshi game?

Tezuka said it wasn't ready to be shown yet. It's coming in 2014.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/e3-2013-a-quick-update-on-yarn-yoshi

It's Good-Feels first (console?) game with 3D elements, iirc, so even though it's been 3 years since Epic Yarn, I imagine it's been a bit of a challenge for them

 

[Blades64]

Are there any gameplay videos of Splinter Cell Blacklist? Not the trailers, but gameplay. Can't seem to find any...

 

[Mithos]

I still don't understand why Mass Effect 3 isn't on that list. The game AND port are arguably better than AC3.

I know Captain Smoker already answered, and said he just forgot it.

But I have to ask, why would anyone want to spend time and money on a game that 1. is the last game in a Trilogy and 2. will be the ONE AND ONLY game in the Mass Effect universe they will ever get on Wii U.

I'd place that time and money on some game/series where I now I'll get more.

 

[gaming_noob]

I'm most excited for Mario 3D World and DK Tropical Freeze. E3 made me a believer in Nintendo again

Okay. 2014 is looking to be a very good year for WiiU.

 

[Scoot2005]

I didn't get a response on the last page. The eshop has Deus Ex: Human Revolution Directors Cut listed as coming soon. Was this already there or is it new?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Funky Barn perhaps?

*Injustice:God among us.
*Tekken Tag 2.

Yup.

I only noticed it today. I don't think it was there before. I could be wrong though.
