Ive been going through the launch games for the U. there is just a missing game. there is nothing that really gets me hyped to play. i like what im seeing from The Wonderful 101.... but i need to see more. i am a gamer that has gamefly so i will play the bulk of games launching for Wii U. but you know that excitement that comes from a new console launching. Zombi U got my attention initally i like how they are using the gamepad and showing what it can do. but that game that just wows you and get you excited like you cant even sleep.... its not there. Im not a graphics whore.... but i wish we had a game showing real time visuals on level of the HD Zelda demo or the japanese garden demo for launch. i do believe the lack of seeing any launch games that outperforms or even match the best of this gen ( uncharted, GOW, the last of us) has stopped many from being overly hyped. no im not a graphics over gameplay but i do want the hardware to be used to the best of the developers ability. what do you guys think? do you feel like there is a big blockbuster games or something new missing from the launch?


on another note recently Reggie did say there were launch window games in development that havent been announced yet so we will see. also im hoping the rumors (looking at you activision) that BLOPS2 really is 1080p "NATIVE" at 60fps that will make me very happy and will probably be my go to launch day game.

I agree, I suppose Nintendo just wants the console released before Christmas and in the hands of the core fanbase and some casuals before announcing the big hitters that'll make everyone desperately want a Wii U. Plus there are a lot of great games at launch but by saving the killer apps for a bit later and spreading them out they get more recognition and we won't hit a software draught which is common after launches.

I feel like Borderlands 2 is missing, that would make me very excited. Battlefield 3 Premium Edition would be nice, but we will probably instead get Battlefield 4.

But I know how you feel, the launch is impressive and I love what I am seeing with the Wii U but I get this feeling it is not enough... But I am sure that once the Wii U is in my hands those thoughts will subside.

I think it's one of the more solid launch line-ups of any console.
There's games for everyone really, which is sort of uncommon for launches.

This,
I mean really the only game we're missing at launch is an RPG/JRPG game, which we're getting Monster Hunter Tri in March!!! :D

For me the Launch/Launch Window is missing Racing Games. I would have loved to see more Racing Games announced, and hopefully one of those unannounced games could be one. I'm going to Stop you before you say "But Cerberuz what about Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed" I'm not too fond of the Arcade Racers, the only one that has interested me is Mario Kart, and now F1 Race Stars.

No launch has ever had that for me.

In terms of games that are announced that I would love on the system, there are Ni no Kuni, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengance. (I know that neither of these will happen, but I can always dream...).
Aside from that I would love a rhythm game. I always have a lot of fun with those.

For me the Launch/Launch Window is missing Racing Games. I would have loved to see more Racing Games announced, and hopefully one of those unannounced games could be one. I'm going to Stop you before you say "But Cerberuz what about Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed" I'm not too fond of the Arcade Racers, the only one that has interested me is Mario Kart, and now F1 Race Stars.

For me that one game is ZombiU. I am so hyped for that it's not even funny. I would have preferred something along the lines of a new 3D Mario, but hey something entirely new doesn't hurt. I think the launch line up is good. And I already have the three games I am getting picked out.

"there is nothing that really gets me hyped to play."
I think they did a great job of trying to have something for everyone, instead of a couple games that they force on everyone - if that makes sense. 50 games in a launch window and over 20 on launch day is amazing for a brand new console. Rabbids Land looks fun for playing with my son, ZombiU by myself, CoD:Black Ops 2 for online multiplayer, Tank! Tank! Tank! for the whole family really (reminds me of some tank game they had for the N64 that I loved), Skylanders Giants Wii U of course because my son really enjoyed playing the original one with me on the 360, Scribblenauts Unlimited for my wife (she has both of the DS games, absolutely loves figuring out the levels and getting to be creative), SMB is a staple and Nintendo Land for the whole family. The only game I wish they had to go with the Wii U is a brand new Zelda game - but I know that will come with time. Speaking of time - if there's no games you want to play, don't buy the Wii U. The point of any console is to have fun while gaming, to kill time and enjoy doing so. If there's no game that sparks your interest, just don't buy it yet.

Well there is a new IP, like ZombiU. There may not be a game that you are dying to play like crazy. For a lot of other people there are those types of games. You just gonna have to stick it out.

I think that there should be an RPG but tbh I find getting hyped for something bad. I got hyped for both Skyward Sword and Super mario galaxy 2 amd felt a little dissapointed with both.
I am going to use the Wii Us launch as a way to get to play the wii games that i missed out on such as kirby's epic yarn, sonic colours, and the metroid prime trillogy. And I will get ZombiU AC3 mario bros U rayman legends cloudberry kingdom and Nintendo land

The EB Games AU website is showing a lot of launch titles, but in store I've only been able to pre-order from 9 possible titles.

I'd like to know what the hell is going on here.

And from that. stop complaining all of you. LOL
