Wii U Launch Lineup Announced
From the archive: published Sep 26, 2012, 14 years ago. Details may have changed since.
Earlier today, Nintendo announced the full lineup of titles that will be available on the day and the Wii U’s launch date of November 18 along with a list of titles that will be following shortly after.
Nintendo says that a total of 23 titles will be available for purchase on launch day. Most of the games arriving day one will be from third-party publishers, but Nintendo will also be releasing New Super Mario Bros. U and a few other first-party titles.
Another 9 titles will be available at some point in November, but not on launch day. Nintendo wouldn’t say exactly when. Yet another 20 titles are scheduled to release within the Wii U launch “window,” which actually extends out well beyond the actual launch into March 31.
