I know you wanted to say it when you saw the image.

I know you took a look at those rounded grips and those smooth analog sticks and the first thing that came to mind was “Great, Nintendo’s copying Microsoft”

But don’t. Don’t go there. Don’t you judge Nintendo for this. I know you want to, but don’t.

So I just logged into Ubisoft’s press site, and it seems to show which Wii U games we can expect at launch.

Rabbids Land, ZombiU, and Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013 will apparently be available on day one. Assassin’s Creed III is listed for October 2012, but I believe that’s temporary… unless the Wii U is actually coming out that month. Rayman Legends appears to be a 2013 title.

Nintendo has prepared an official, corporate statement regarding Nikkei’s report that surfaced a few hours ago, noting that there isn’t any truth to the rumors. The site claimed that a new 3DS model would be introduced and non-game distribution contents for Wii U would be revealed.

However, Nintendo’s statement essentially said “that the Nikkei report is not based off things announced by Nintendo, is full of mistakes and is nothing more than conjecture from the paper’s publisher”, as reported by Andriasang.

We’ll see what happens over the next 24-48 hours.
