#Launch#Nintendo#Releases#Top Stories#Wii U
Yesterday, we found out about the fifty titles Nintendo expects to be released in North America during the Wii U's "launch window," but the details on which of those fifty would be on store shelves the same day as the console had yet to be revealed. We may have a better idea of that now, following a whole bunch of game pages on Nintendo.com (spotted by Game Usagi) having their release dates updated to the magical November 18 console launch day.
A number of bigger games are listed (including ZombiU and Rayman Legends) and a lot of the higher-profile ports appear as well. Mass Effect 3, Batman Arkham City, and Epic Mickey 2 are all there. And, just under three weeks after arriving on the competition, Assassin's Creed III dropping on launch would be a welcome treat.
There's a small caveat that I would apply to this impressive list. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is also listed as being available on November 18th, but we've heard from Activision already that it should be on sale earlier than that, arriving on the 13th instead. So, someone, somewhere, is wrong and if Nintendo is wrong about the one, I have to question the rest until they confirm otherwise (we've asked).
In the best case scenario, Nintendo doesn't give a salty toss about when Activision puts their game on sale, went ahead and listed the launch date of the console and decided to have the most amazing launch day lineup in their history. I know that's what I'm hoping for.
Here's the list of games Nintendo currently has listed on their site as launching the same day as Wii U:
•Rayman Legends
•Black Ops 2
•Assassin’s Creed III
•ZombiU
•Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
•Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
•TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2
•Scribblenauts Unlimited
•Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
•Rabbids Land
•Just Dance 4
•Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
•Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
•MADDEN NFL 13
•NBA 2K13
•TRANSFORMERS PRIME
•Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013
•Game Party Champions
•ESPN Sports Connection
•Darksiders II
•Nintendo Land
•New Super Mario Bros. U

No you dont.
he must be confused with rayman origins -
Weak line up.Smash Bros,Star Fox and Metroid should be ready for launch since Nintendo dumped the Wii over a year ago.Its not like they did not have the time or resources to make this launch line up really good.
-
Rayman Legends basically look like the same game as Origin that's why i said i already have it on 360

Riiiight.
-
Wake me up when you got some good games nintendo...
-
thas a good looking next gen line-up.
-
They're not bad games, it's just that like 80% are already available for current gen systems. Wasn't expecting much for launch anyway; New systems are usually mediocre content-wise come launch. I expect the same with the PS4/720.
That line-up is a HUGE upgrade from the Wii tho. -

Maybe not but launch lineup is still weak and Rayman Legends not a must buy since i got Origins which can be had for 10-20 bucks. What is there to buy since you and Focus defending it so much? -

LOL. What did I "defend so much" exactly? Pointing out the simple truth that two different games are, in fact, not the same game? -
ill cope this system just for the controllers and Super mario bros only.......

Super mario is there. except for it, pikmin andi think Zelda , im not sure any of those series ever debuted with a nintendo system except maybe the NES. im probably wrong though.
and id be shocked if rayman legends doesnt show up on ps3 and 360 eventually. probably in a year or so, just like wii u is getting arkham city and mass effect 3
-
No ? @ pikmin (pick men)
-
Weak line up
-
thats the first wave i see what Nintendo doing
-
Ninja Gaiden: Razor Edge drops launch day. TGS trailer. Looks dope.
