Wii U games you want in 2013

[Valay]

So looking at the Wii U lineup for 2013, there isn't anything that I'm looking forward to in the sense of "oh my God, I HAVE to get this".

But...

Off the top of my head, I can think of Rayman Legends, LEGO City: Undercover, The Wonderful 101, and Pikmin 3 as games I'm interested in. Not sure if I'll get any on day one.

What about you guys?

I think I'm gonna get Rayman Legends day one, so far thats it. I'm interested in the ones you listed too. If it wasn't for there being so many good looking PS3 games for next year, I would probably be more excited. Looking forward to E3 with hopefully a bunch of announcements about game everybody wants.

Any other first-party developed titles slated for 2013 besides Pikmin 3? Should I say they're doomed now?

[pie]

Bayonetta 2 and Lego City: Undercover are both first party games
edit: Can't forget Game & Wario, also some 3rd party exclusives are Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest.

whatever Retro comes with. Of course, have to buy a Wii U first...

[ehead]

Bayonetta and Lego City are published by Nintendo, sure. But I'm thinking of Nintendo-developed titles. We haven't heard anything from EAD, Retro, etc. about their Wii U projects yet. D:

I really wish Nintendo would just come out with some heavy hitters and say "Okay, we're developing this and this". With the Wii, when that was announced, we knew games like Super Mario Galaxy and Prime 3 were on the way - two huge games. I feel like Wii U is missing that kind of core title (although Bayonetta is a nice start...).

Yup. I'm dying to see what Nintendo EAD, Retro, and Monolith are up to.

Retro s new game is going to be soooo cool.

[TiggyPudding]

I think I gonna get Rayman Legends, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Lego City Undercover and Pikmin 3. Also, Okami HD with Gamepad controls. Make this happen Capcom :/

Anyone else a little disappointed with the 3rd party support? I know, I know, that's an old complaint... but I was expecting the majority of newly announced 3rd party titles to come to Wii U. Right now the odd game here and there is announced for Wii U; most are not. So much for getting at least a year's worth of 3rd party support.

@ehead: for the past few years (ever since Twilight Princess, really) Nintendo's been announcing 90% of their games mere months before they're on sale. It's a little frustrating because it makes 2013 seem bleak when it fact we might get 5 top-notch 1st party titles. Like back in 2010.

Yup. Aside from Injustice and (maybe) Aliens: Colonial Marines, I can't think of any third-party game hitting Wii U on the same day as other consoles...

They have really avoided building up hype for they games, don't they? When can we expect them to reveal some info though? GDC next year? Or will we have a new year ND?

Maybe they'll throw us a bone or two through some Nintendo Directs. They skipped GDC (basically) this year, so who knows what they'll do in 2013. I imagine they'll save any big stuff for E3.

Both DS Zeldas were announced at GDC; I kinda expect Nintendo to confirm a new 3DS Zelda at this year's.

Also Super Mario 3D Land was teased in GDC last year if I'm not mistaken. Also, did your giraffe eat Santa?
