This is really mostly for the North Americans, as other launches may have other games. Although Europe is probably somewhat similar, no? I tried to include what I think people might vote for, although I suspect that New Super Mario Bros. U is going to be a blowout here.

Anyway... go!

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion.

@Secret_Tunnel Is this at launch!? If so I definitely don't need to buy more retail games at launch.

@GameDadGrant I dont think this is a Wii U launch game...

I agree. That'd be way better on Wii U than 3DS.

@carlosrox I see what you did there. And it gets a lol.

Kind of surprised at the AC3 representation. It is a pretty big launch game, though. I guess the franchise just feels kind of stale to me because they've been hitting it so hard. Speaking of which, I hope Blops 2 does well...

Anyway, I picked NintendoLand.

I'm also kind of excited for Rabbids Land! But renting Rabbids Travel Through Time on Wii kind of dampened my enthusiasm. Those Rabbids games are pretty rough around the edges. Like, ALL of the edges.

@Zero
Did you read the Nintendo Power preview of Little Inferno? The game seems to basically consist of a fireplace toybox into which you can throw things. Like, the whole game takes place in your living room, and you order stuff to burn out of catalogs. But a deeper story somehow emerges from that framework? It looks fucking insane. Interesting and unique, though, to say the least.

@Anand Um... is there gameplay? Ha ha. I have trust.

@Zero
Based on what I read, it might literally be a sandbox. A big, flaming sandbox.
10/04/12, 04:46   
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Hmm. They wouldn't do that... would they? Has a "sandbox" without actual goals ever sold well? Well, yeah I guess many have... Nintendogs, The Sims, etc.

But... it's a huge risk. Like that game from the Katamari developer that totally bombed.

Shit, my /thread backfired. I'm surprised to see this many people looking forward to NintendoLand so much. I mean, yeah it'll be great, but...Mario! I guess 2D Mario fatigue is setting in after NSMB2. Not for me though, I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of NSMBU in co-op.

MIIIIIIVERRRRSE! "Man, that lava looks HOT, LOL"

ZombiU, easily.
10/04/12, 11:13   
Rayman Legends by a mile. The Wonderful 101 in the 'launch window'.
10/04/12, 13:28   
@anon_mastermind

I'm looking forward to mario most but NintendoLand is a huge excitement for me too.

Agreed! LOL!

I voted NSMBu, but honestly, I dont have one game that is OMG I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW. There are several games that scratch my itch and i love them all for different reaons, my take home is (nintendo land), NSMBu, ZombiU, CoD:BLOPS2, Darksiders 2. I am excited for them all for completely different reasons.

@Cube191

Yeah, if we're talking launch window, Rayman is my most-wanted as well.
10/04/12, 14:48   
Nothing. Under normal circumstances perhaps I would say Assassin's Creed III but I don't think I'll buy it for Wii U. I will probably buy Batman Armored edition... again eventually since I bought the GOTY edition off Steam a few weeks ago. I have zero interest in "New" Super Mario Bros Wii U. I think it's a toss up between Black Ops 2 and Epic Mickey 2 ironically..
10/04/12, 15:35   
@Cube191

But Rayman isn't a launch game!

"Hey, there's a secret world below that lava! Just butt-stomp through it from the highest point in the level with exactly 1 second remaining on the clock!"
