With Nintendo’s Wii U launch around the corner we thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of Wii U games we’re excited for. It’s a bit premature to say these are the “Top Wii U Games” in general, but these certainly look promising. We’re including games that are coming out during the holiday season too.

4 LEGO City: Undercover
TT Fusion / Nintendo

Roam the streets of Lego City as an undercover cop. Finally, the kids version of Grand Theft Auto. No longer do you need to be ashamed of using and killing hookers in San Andreas. Now you can be one of the good guys and use the Wii U‘s controller as a crime busting tool in the open world adventure.

3 Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge
Team Ninja / Tecmo Koei

Ninja Gaiden 3 disappointed much of its hardcore fan base. This was due to overly simplified gameplay, automated action sequences, and reduced difficulty. All of these are things that Team Ninja is addressing and acting on based on player feedback. 

2 ZombiU
Ubisoft Montpellier / Ubisoft

Killing zombies, online multiplayer, gear scavenging and more make ZombiU a game to watch. We’re really excited to see how the Wii U controls work in an FPS.  With the Wii U controller, you’ll be able to experience something similar to PC gamers who have multiple screens with a map open no one screen and the game running in the other.

1 Nintendo Land
Nintendo / Nintendo

Although it’s almost dissapointing placing this game in the #1 slot, it does look the coolest overall thanks to almagamation of various Nintendo IPs including the beloved Metroid series. We’re excited to see how the variety of games feel and play, especially the ones based on Nintendo’s less sequel heavy franchises.

Quite a few exciting titles. Look forward to more Wii U coverage as it becomes available.

Wii U release date: November 18, 2012

Salutations,

So who here likes to kill zombies? Yeah, I figured you might. Well then you should be as psyched as I am about the Ubisoft’s new zombie game called, ZombiU. This game is being released as a Wii U exclusive title. Ubisoft made quite a splash at E3 and are even being called the new EA or Activision as a major 3rd party game company, putting out AAA titles, except they aren’t showing signs of heavy DLC rape.

 

This reveal trailer from E3 certain does set the correct mood for this game.:

 

 

It really does look pretty impressive. I like the way the Wii U uses its new controller, I have a feeling that this will change the common clumsiness of zombie games. As demonstrated in this video:

 

 

Is it just me or does that look pretty cool? Yeah I thought you’d agree. Also you can see that this game has some fairly in-depth combat, using a melody of melee and ranged weapons including a crossbow. Another nice touch is looting, which seems to have become common in the types of FPS now, which is good.

 

 

ZombiU is based in present day London, and takes the best parts of all the greatest horror games and movies, and puts its own unique and welcome twist on it. It also has a unique mechanic, when you die, there is no respawn. Instead, you’re transferred to play as another survivor. Then you can find your old zombie self, and kill it to recoup your equipment. How cool does that sound? This is shaping up to be one very memorable game.

 

As you’ll see in this 10 minute gameplay video:

 

 

However, its possible that this game won’t be totally Wii U exclusive, like RE4. Tony Key, the senior VP of Sales and Marketing for Ubisoft, mentioned in an IGN interview that while there would have to be a lot of changes to ZombiU to put it on another system that would reduce its fun, it was not impossible, simply not within the near future. However like RE4, its possible that this will get ported around to other systems, after first being a Nintendo exclusive.

 

 

I guess we’ll see… won’t Wii……..U?

 

Either way, this is being shown as a core title for Wii U, and this is just the kind of game that the Wii U needs in order to be taken seriously. Keep those boomsticks loaded, and look out for ZombiU on Wii U.

 

Cheers,
