Call it a gut feeling, but I still believe that Wii Sports U will be a game that hits at launch and a game that will be packed in with the Wii U...

It would be the smart move to make from a business standpoint IMO...

First, I can see Nintendo Land selling on its own. Some people bash Nintendo Land... but pretty much every hands-on preview gave the game rave reviews...

Second, we alread saw Wii Sports U in video form... The golf and baseball games were shown at last yeqars E3.. AND they showed it again in the Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct video...

Third it would be a big selling point for the Wii U. While Nintendo Land does show off what the Wii U gamepad can do, Wii Sports helped sell the Wii.. It had a huge appeal to kids, adults and even senior citizens. It was just a charming addictive game (especially bowling)...

I believe we will have one.. maybe two more Nintendo Direct videos before October 2012... And Nintendo will announce price, release date and a few more titles not announced at E3 (maybe first and or 3rd party)...

This is my own personal speculation... I just do not see Nintendo launching the Wii U without a Wii Sports game. And I know Nintendo.. They like to show everything on their own time (Nintendo Direct)...

I don't think they will.

Well Ubisoft has already made a Wii U sports game so that pretty much eliminates any chance of Wii U sports.

They're also making a fitness game for Wii U if my memory is correct, yet that isn't stopping Nintendo from releasing Wii Fit U.

But yeah, I can see Wii Sports U being announced as a last-minute thing. We've still yet to see if anything came of that little E3 2011 game where you catch baseballs using the Wii U pad.

That Wii Sports U promo video of that golf game made a lot of people talk as well, with the Wii U Gamepad on the floor and the golf ball on the screen... Why show it (especially in the Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct video) if you dont plan on releasing it...

I wouldn't say it affects the chances of Nintendo releasing a Wii U Sports game. The Wii had several third party sports games like that, but Nintendo still published two Wii Sports titles.

I think there's a decent chance of a Wii Sports U game being released as it's a game that would appeal to a lot of people, especially casual gamers. If Nintendo released it as a downloadable title for £10 or less, then I think a lot of people would buy it.

This is the right idea, not only is Wii Sports as a retail game baffle me (which it was in Japan). Having the "casual" gamers set up online accounts to download a game like that will expose them to the other downloadable games and increases their numbers.

I think Nintendoland will be a pack in and Wii sports U will come with a second controller or something. I honestly really want to play that baseball game they showed, haha.

[Alph]

If they did have one, I think they would of shown it at this year's E3. It could happen next year, though.

I agree with jono. We'll probably see some form of tennis game in NintendoLand.
