Let’s take a look at the Wii U’s Japanese lineup for 2013. Only three games have confirmed dates – Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, Tank! Tank! Tank! (already released on the eShop), and Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Aside from these titles, it doesn’t seem like there’s a whole lot to look forward to in 2013 if you have a Japanese Wii U. Pikmin 3, Dragon Quest X (updated Wii port), Game & Wario, and Wii Fit U are basically the only other titles officially set to be released in the first half of the year.
