The Wonderful 101, is a 'launch window' title, meaning that it could release as late as March 2013.

Yep.

Still. I've got to say that's not a bad launch lineup. For me it's all about software. good hardware is only good if you've got the software to show it off. That was my beef with the PSP. Superior hardware to the DS in nearly every way, & like 2 games worth playing.
That's why I think it's funny that sony is saying that the PS3 &vita can do everything a wii u can do. It probably can do some of it, but it won't. No one is going to develop a triple A game that requires you to own both the console & the handheld. No one cares what you claim you CAN EASILY do if they know you never will. Heck the ps move can do more remarkable things than the wii remote, & yet there is no Move games that came even close to Skyward Sword. Why? Because its not about what you CAN do. Its about what you ACTUALLY do. This is why I love nintendo. With them less is always more. Sorry about the rant.

Aww..... no Rayman. I guess I'll just be playing Nintendoland and Trine 2 for a while.

Mass effect?

Wow, even though this is a little shorter of a list than I expected, it is still very impressive.

[Tsuchinoko]

So now that we have confirmed launch titles I may have to change my list a bit. I will probably end up getting Nintendo Land, ZombiU, and Ninja Gaiden 3 at launch. Was going to get NSMBU, but I think I can replace that with Ninja Gaiden 3 and get it later.
