What do you guys think? Im kind of confused since I could swear I saw an interview with darksiders II devs saying that their game wouldn't be comming to the Wii u.
aside from that, it seems like its a mostly solid list.
tho it does have it's share of horrible casual games.
Looks like with the Wii U, Nintendo is finally getting decent 3rd party games for its console, imo. Also, it seems they learned a thing or two from the 3DS launch, by making more than a handful of appealing games available right away.
I read an interview with the Darksiders II devs in Nintendo Power. I don't recall their saying it wouldn't come to the Wii U. The only reason I can think that NP would interview them is if they had some knowledge that it was going to be a Wii U title. I'm far too lazy to go to my closet and dig the magazine up right now, though.
Hopefully the Wii U will have a better balance of games now, not just the bunch of casual shovelware or licensed titles I see every time I go to Best Buy or Game Stop. Most of my Wii games come from Nintendo themselves.

They've had decent 3rd party games until the Wii.
There's only a couple decent titles now on the Wii, with Xenoblade and The Last Story obviously being the cherry on the cake.
And yes, agreed, most of the launch games look solid.
Pretty excited to be honest for the reveal at E3 this year.
I hope it'll be worth it.

But nothing really fascinating. If you consider that best games of the list are/will be on PS3/PC. I want more

That's what I meant by "finally" :p The GC had plenty of solid 3rd party games. Then the Wii came, and there's been a noticeable drought. Now Nintendo has finally convinced developers that their next-gen console's worth the effort again.

sounds promising. the rest... well, not really interesting

The real question is whether that continues after sony/microsoft release their new consoles. Right now the wii U has good 3rd party support because nintendo has made it easy to port xbox360/ps3 games over to it. But since those consoles are about to be replaced there is no guarantee that this will hold true for the future consoles.
And here I thought that New Super Mario Bros. Mii were only gonna be a lousy tech demo and not turned into a real game....sigh
I hate those stupid retard Miis.

Ya, sounds incredibly boring..

So Nintendo's killer app is NSMB Mii? I don't see people lining up for Pikmin.
