Nintendo has confirmed that 23 Wii U titles will be available when the company’s newest console hits store shelves in North America on November 18th. Beyond the obvious inclusions of New Super Mario Bros. U, Zombi U, Assassin’s Creed III, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and Nintendo Land, a few titles that were thought to be launch window surprisingly showed up. Some of these titles include Sing Party and the Nintendo-published version of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge.
Much to our disappointment though, Ubisoft’s Rayman Legends is now slated as a launch window title (Europe will be receiving the game when it launches there day one). However, consider this: Pushing Rayman Legends outside the launch day here in North America could be for the best as its sales could possibly suffer going up against another high-profile platformer, New Super Mario Bros. U.

I checked the "full" list on Kotaku…Monster Hunter isn't even mentioned in it. What the hell CAPCOM…stop pulling at my damn heartstrings! YOU HAD ONE JOB AND ONE JOB ONLY; MAKE THE GAME A LAUNCH WINDOW TITLE. DIDN'T HAVE TO BE ON THE LAUNCH DATE, JUST BY MARCH. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT TO SPEND MONEY. >_<
Wakko, Monster Hunter IS a launch window title.
These titles are the launch day titles.
I'm a bit disappointed that NBA 2K 13, Rayman Legends and Lego Undercover are not launch titles really…
But I'll buy at list 5 titles on that list : Mario, Zombie U, Ninja Gaiden, Assassin's Creed 3 and Tekken.
23 titles to choose from is not to bad, and there are some interesting choices to make for all. I'm not to disappointed that some titles didn't make the cut, that's par for the course I guess. I'm just going to be able to save up some more cash for some of the really cool ones down the road. It sure beats the 2 launch titles that were only available for the N64 when it came out.
