List of every WiiU game announced so far (-1); No Black WiiU at launch

Link

The one game I do see that's missing is a downloadable title who's name I can't exactly remember at the moment. Thoughts on the list so far? Remember, launch window refers to the first 4 months after launch, so all of these games, barring any delays, will be available within that time frame.

As for the shade of the console...

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/06/e3_2012_wii_u_to_launch_in_white_black_available_later

"Destructoid reports a booth representative as saying the system will launch in white, with the black option available "someday"."

Slightly disappointing because the black model looks so much better than the white, but all in all it doesn't matter.

Thoughts?

yea make everyone buy the white one...

then double dip when the black one gets released...its all business.

So, I'm guessing ones labeled "Launch Window" won't release until after the holiday season? meetroid8

Why don't they release a bunch of different colors?SavageKantus

Black is the better colour for games consoles because not only is the the only real colour the makes the system not look like a kids toy, but when you look at the standard set ups for most peoples living rooms, there TV's DVD's and BluRays are all black and it looks much nicer to see them all the same. I myself now, looking at my set up and seeing that white Wii next to my black TV, black 360, black PS3, black Blu Ray/DVD player, black Sky TV box and it makes the system look ugly in comparison and very much out of place. If the black Wii is not a launch colour, I may very well hold off on buying one because of that (yeah, it may sound kinda vain, but I don't care, I want my set up to look nice if I'm going to be staring at it for hours on end).

Yeah, but come on. A lot of people complained because the GameCube launched in Purple only. A lot of people complained because the Wii launched in White only. A lot People complained because the 360 launched as White only. No one complained that the PS3 launched in black only.

That list is incomplete. Observe!

Ghost Recon Online still coming to wii u, June 7th, 2012.

As is Injustice_Gods_Among_Us

So Pikmin 3 is a launch title but New Super Mario Bros isn't then? I wonder how long after launch it'll be releasing then.meetroid8

@Wiifan

Actually I think Injustice would officially be outside the launch window.

Sepewrath

Then it's a good thing that I didn't post that they would be within the launch window.

Rayman Legends and Aliens Colonial Marines are scheduled TBA on the list, thus this list includes but is not limited to holiday / launch window. Injustice and Ghost Recon Online should be there. The list is incomplete!

I think I'll wait until the black one is released.

Gah, I want black. Not just because it looks better but who has a white TV? I like my things to match.tomarlyn

i ahve a white TV :( it looks great against my beige wall. samsung LA32R71. to be fair though its getting upgraded to a panasonic ST50 this year :D

List looks good enough to me, honestly one of the better launch lineups for my particular tastes (even if some were released on other platforms already)

I would prefer the black version, but honestly if it isn't coming out for a while, then the white will easily suit our needs... Because we wanted a WiiU before they ever showed a black version, and we were happy with that.

I really wish it was more variety in terms of 1st party games from nintendo....quite a lackluster.Foxi911

Some game's from the list that I'm interested in are:

LEGO City: Undercover
- An Open-world Lego game that parodies stuff like Street Fighter, Mario, Prince of Persia and Grand Theft Auto? Sign me up.

Rayman Legends
- I still need to pick up Origins, but from what I've seen of Legends it already looks like a must buy.

Project P-100
- Looks like a mix of Little King's Story and Viewtiful Joe, its art style is crisp and colorful and it has multiplayer. Yes, please.

Scribblenauts Unlimited
- The first one had its flaws but I still enjoyed it a lot, and this one looks like it's much, much better.

Pikmin 3
- I still need to know more about this, if I like what I play of Pikmin 2 and the story mode of 3 isn't timed I'll probably get it.

Trine 2: Director's Cut
- After playing the original version I thought the gameplay mechanics would be perfect for Wii U.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
- It reminds me of Diddy Kong Racing for N64, but now you're not limited to one type of vehicle per race. It could be a lot of fun, and it would give me something to play until a new Mario Kart is released.

Batman: AC Armored Edition
- I could get it cheaper on a system I already own, but I'm waiting to see what the Wii U features add to the experience.

Nintendo Land
- I'm not sure why they felt the need to take every color of the rainbow and amplify it x10 for the main theme park, but at least the games look pretty fun. The one I want to play the most right now is The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest.

Even though at its core it's just a combo of Wii Sports Resort Archery and Swordplay, a 4-player co-op mini-game set in a Zelda-like world made of cloth sounds cool. I also wonder how they've changed Battle Mii, since I did see a Metroid themed icon on one door.

I've never bought a Nintendo Console at launch and the Wii U isn't going to change that, but I'm glad there's already a nice lineup of games that I find interesting.

Looks like just pikmin 3 and whatever game wario is supposed to be.YoshiYogurt

[QUOTE="meetroid8"] So Pikmin 3 is a launch title but New Super Mario Bros isn't then? I wonder how long after launch it'll be releasing then.Sepewrath

So the ones labeled Holiday will be released at or near launch and ones labeled Launch Window will be released after the holiday season then?

this list is pretty wrong compared to what i have read

when they say Pikmin 3 is a launch window title, that better mean launch window the way the original Pikmin was on the gamecube. IE about 2 weeks after launch. I've already waited almost 8 years for that glorious glorious game

Why don't they release a bunch of different colors?SavageKantus

Who buys a console for the color?

Toxic-Seahorse

If I was in desperate need of a Wii U, I will buy it in white, but that's not the case right now.

Unless they reveal a must-buy exclusive, I will continue to wait.

Would you buy the console day 1 if it was black? I'm talking about not buying it just due to its color, I can understand if it is due to some other reasons. Toxic-Seahorse

If the price is right, then yeah. :P

Not buying it because of the color seems logical for me, but only if that color has a good chance of being released in the future. It may be the same device, but the color does matter for some people.

I blame Nintendo for showing their consoles in multiple colors during E3, and only releasing one ot two colors during launch. :x
