This is a sick launch lineup. The fact that I've been without a gaming console for over a year undoubtably makes it look better to me than people with working 360/PS3s, but it's still impressive nontheless.

Wii U September Conference Summary Thread
- Thread starter Nibel
- Start date
This is a sick launch lineup. The fact that I've been without a gaming console for over a year undoubtably makes it look better to me than people with working 360/PS3s, but it's still impressive nontheless.
It seems all of the announced Wii U games (except for 3: Bayonetta 2, Bioshock Infinite and Injustice) are to be released in launch window. Presuming work on Bayonetta 2 is just started, 2013 will be a very empty year for Nintendo. There's nothing on the horizon. I hope Nintendo delivers in E3 2013. We need more games. Yes, more.
*sigh*
Well, not really surprising. I had to pay that much for a 2nd PS3 controller too. Hate how expensive they are nowadays.
Thanks.
Nintendo have very much purposefully stuck t only promoting games that will be available close to and around Launch. Recent times have seen Nintendo rarely promoting games until about 6 months before launch, so in turns of their own output, I am not that concerned.
Great OP Nibel!
Nice to have a place to talk through everything in a more consolidated fashion.
I was really pleased yesterday about the following:
- Was expecting just the Base bundle in 2 colors AND am really excited about Nintendo Land, so I was pumped about the Deluxe set with the extra internal memory and pack in
- Great to see BLOPS2 and 007 Legends confirmed - both look really good
- Very pleased about BLOPS 2 supporting the wiimote and nunchuck control scheme
- Love seeing more Nintendo Land details
- Excited about the challenge stuff in NSMBU
I was disappointed by the following:
- Wanted to see the OS
- Wanted to hear more about the online/friends lists
- Wanted to see the rest of Nintendo Land / Pre-loaded applications
Overall, very solid conference and excited about Nov 18th 12:01 am.

Great, great thread. It's nearly perfect....
Except, you forgot to include Bayonetta 2 in the games listings :/
Makes sense. Perfect thread it is, then! ^_^

There is no BioShock Infinite on Wii U.
Bayonetta 2 has been in development since forever.
It's the exact same Wii Remote Plus.
And they are, Europe and Japan have the Wiimote Plus & Nunchuck & Sensor Bar bundle for about 50,-

Sweet, thanks for all of that information, lot of games to get day one. All that's left is deciding where to pre-order.
They didn't put this into the launch window list
maybe you could add to the OP that the Wii U Browser will not support Flash but video playback formats H.264 and HTML5.
Since Wii U is compatible with Wii accessories one has to presume it will be the same as the Wii Remote Plus for Wii, in other words a Wii Remote with Motion Plus built in.
Yes, yes, yes, oh sweet heavens, YES!
I sure hope Gearbox are paying attention.
Same here.
I can see the Wii U launch eating into the funds I've set aside for OUYA next year.
it may be true, but i'm laughing bcos the info placed in important stuff about wii u

OP should be updated to reflect that the "HDD's" are in fact flash storage. Right now the specs read:
8GB HDD
32GB HDD
When in fact they should red:
8GB flash storage
32gb flash storage
It's a very important distinction. "HDD" is the acronym for "hard disk drive," which neither of the two Wii U SKU's have.

Was Batman there yesterday? Has anyone seen reports regarding how the game is shaping up compared with the E3 build?
I am VERY interested in playing it as I haven't played either on the other consoles and I know that optimization is one of the last things to go in - but those screen shots looked pretty iffy yesterday.
IdeaMan, if those WB fools in Montreal are your source, fill us in with an update...

They've always said just first party games will be. They're trying to get 3rd parties to offer their games as DD as well but it's up to the publisher.
Updated OP, thanks!
And special thanks to D-e-f-!
I'm still putting everything together
Hopefully they've heard the E3 feedbacks and improve the ground textures/add a neat online mode. I think it's a good move, the launch window is already pretty cluttered.
Level5 has just announced that Inazuma Eleven Strikers 13 is just for the Wii (no Wii U version up to now).
I'm starting to think that yesterday's announcment (plus DQ, Tank, Tekken, Ninja Gaiden and Sega all star) are the only titles available in Japan for the launch window.
Hopefully I'm wrong and we'll get some little surprise at TGS!
I can see them adding more textures and clean ups of that sort, but do you really think they could add online this late in the ball game?

Why would you want the pro controller for playing zombie u? Half of the game revolves around the touch screen.

I wonder if HMV have made a mistake as they list NintendoLand being included in their Zombi U bundle:

I didn't see a headset in the list of peripherals. Does this mean no VOIP for COD BO II or are you supposed to use the microphone?
The WiiU launch is such a debacle to me
Maybe they already worked on it for months/years since the Wii build but set it aside for the release on Wii U, etc. There are a lot of possible scenarios.
But well, at the very least we'll have Miiverse for it, and perhaps some hard "accomplishments" to compare with the friend list, etc.
Is there a 2 player mode for ZombiU?

Play with a friend on the vs. mode? That's what the controller is for, but it is better to have it bundled for a cheaper price instead of paying more for one later, plus you're future proof XD.
Yes there's a vs mode.
The local multiplayer portion of the game has one person using the gamepad, and the other using the pro controller.
Of course there will be VOIP. The gamepad has a mic and headphone jack built in. Otherwise the Wii headset for CoD will work too. And I wouldn't be surprised if a new headset is announced.
Naaaah, at this point I think it'd be VERY strange if they'd have just...what, Ken Musou and Tank!Tank!Tank! from third parties after launch? I'm betting we'll see several announcements on Famitsu, Jump...announcements which will enrich the launch window lineup.

Probably worth trying but, does HMV have price promise scheme? If they do they'll likely honour it, if not quite unlikely.
That seems a bit odd. Wii is so dead in Japan.
But they DO promote games that have more than a year (or even 2 years) to their release date. There are still many games announced first with 3DS that haven't been released; Animal Crossing and Paper Mario. Resident Evil: R, Kid Icarus and Kingdom Hearts released almost year after their announcements.
Horizon titles helps the sales a lot. People say "There are not many good titles now but upcoming games are wonderful, I'm getting this console". We have to know what Nintendo have in their sleeves in first day. What's waiting for us in the future, who's making games for the console, who has projects in progress, these are the stuff people has to know before console releases. We have to know that console has a solid future.
