I thought it might be interesting to start a prediction topic about the Wii U launch lineup. What does everyone think will be the sleeper hit of the lineup, and then conversely which title that we now expect to do well will bomb? For my sleeper hit I am going with Nintendoland. After watching trailers for all of the games within the game I came away totally impressed. It really looks like there is a ton of meat there that will keep people busy for quite some time after launch. Also, the multiplayer aspects of some of those titles are really reminding me of the multiplayer that was present in many of the old school Nintendo games. I think that people are really going to latch onto that, and the fun factor looks to be through the roof.

As far as the bomb goes i will go with Zombi U. I'm not going with that one because I think it will be a bad game though. From everything that i have read the game looks incredibly difficult, and I just don't think that it will appeal to most gamers. For me though it has become my most anticipated game of the Fall/Winter right along side Halo 4, and that is really saying a ton.

The majority of the mini games shown didn't really impress, IMO.
And the overall idea seems uninteresting. But that's just me.

I do admit it looks better than Wii Play/Party though, since the mini games are centered around your favortie Nintendo franchises.

zombiu can't be a sleeper hit because it's the most anticipated wii u game.
Mario can't because it's mario.
nintendoland might count, but it's a pack-in which might disqualify it a little.

hit: Scribllenauts
bomb: Zombiu

I don't think so. All of the previews and gameplay videos look absolutely stellar. Besides wasn't it the controls that ruined Red Steel? If anything the tablet looks to really enhance the Zombi U experience without going overboard. It just looks like it controls like your standard FPS with the tablet making life easier.
