E3 2012: Wii U Launch Window could be up to 4 months long

Reggie says launch window games could be 3-4 months after launch.

Wii U games labelled for release within the “launch period” could be released up to four months after the console launches.

Speaking to IGN, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime says that “Everything that we’ve shown from a first-party perspective is definitely launch window”. That means everything Nintendo showed at E3 could be released at launch “plus the following three to four months”.

Nintendo’s list of Wii U games releases yesterday specifically mentions Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Project P-100 and Wii Fit U as launch window games. However with this new information it means that anything from Nintendo could possibly be released from launch this holiday into 2013. Really though, can we play them all?
