Nintendo America confirms Wii U launch lineup, 23 titles for day one

Nintendo America have just announced the titles that Americans will be able to pick up day one and as well as within the launch window.

There are 23 games launching on November 18th, all of which are retail games. All of the download eShop titles have a release date of November or Launch Window, which as we know could be anytime from November 2012 until March 2013.

Here are the 23 games American’s will be able to purchase on day one.

• Call of Duty Black Ops 2
• Skylanders Giants
• Transformers Prime
• Wipeout 3
• Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
• EA Sports FIFA Soccer 13
• Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Wii U Edition
• New Super Mario Bros. U
• Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge

• ESPN Sports Connection
• Just Dance 4
• Rabbids Land
• Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013
• ZombiU

Most games were known to be coming on November 18th but Sing Party from Nintendo is a suprise addition. Titles like Mass Effect 3: Special Edition are a strange omission considering it’s a port from another console. Wipeout 3 is based on the TV show, not the racing game in case you were wondering.

That leaves the below for the launch window.
