Has Blockbuster Leaked The Wii U’s Launch Line-Up?



Retail video game listings are a tricky business. Sometimes they can be trusted, but most of the time they’re full of speculative nonsense — particularly when it comes to pricing. But something is telling me that this below list of Wii U launch games, leaked by Blockbuster in the UK, may be the real deal.

As reported by GoNintendo, a anonymous employee sent a list of launch titles for the Wii U — some have already been confirmed, others are new. The list is as follows…

– Aliens Colonial Marines

– Assassin’ Creed 3

– Batman Arkham City

– Darksiders II

– DiRT 3

– Formula 1 All-Stars

– Ghost Recon Online

– Just Dance 4

– Killer Freaks From Outer Space

– Marvel Super Heroes

– Metro Last Light

– Monsters Party

– NEW Super Mario Bros. Wii

– Ninja Gaiden III

– Pikmin

– Rabbids Party Land

– Raving Rabbids

– Rayman Legends

– Shield Pose

– Splinter Cell

– Sports Connection

– Tekken

– Your Shape 2013

– Zombie

I could be wrong, but my guess is there’s a whole lot of truth in this launch list. Plenty seems to ring true — Darksiders II being released on the Wii, Batman: Arkham City.

In addition, there are a lot of Ubisoft titles in this line-up, and if there’s one thing Ubisoft has done successfully in the past, it’s support new hardware. It’s been a successful strategy for them in the past, and I’ve heard multiple folks from Ubi claim it’s a strategy it would maintain for future launches.

Of course, it is merely a retailer list, so it’s hardly confirmation…
