Wii U Go: Amazon opens pre-orders for 7 Wii U games at $49.99 each

Amazon.com has started taking pre-orders for seven Wii U games. Unlike the pre-order notification signup they’re offering for the Wii U itself, they’re taking actual pre-orders for these games now. Here’s the full list:

Batman: Arkham City
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge
Tekken Wii Successor
Darksiders II
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Metro: Last Light
Dirt

Each one carries a price tag of just $49.99 – identical to the going rate of current Wii games. With Amazon’s Pre-order Price Guarantee, if you pre-order now and the listed price goes up, you’ll still end up paying the lower price.

Considering that the cost of retail Wii U games is expected to rise over those of the Wii, I’d strongly suggest pre-ordering now if you’re interested in any of these games at all.
