Nintendo hasn’t shared any details about the Wii U’s launch titles yet. We know about some of the games that should be available on release day – such as Darksiders II – but on the whole, fans have been kept in the dark.
Even with the limited information, if GameTrailers.com editor-in-chief Shane Satterfield is to be believed, prospective Wii U owners have nothing to worry about.
Speaking on the latest episode of the site’s “Invisible Walls” show, Satterfield teased the Wii U’s launch line-up by stating that it “is going to surprise some people. It’s going to be pretty damn good.”
He said:
“I will say one thing that I can say without getting in any trouble is that the launch lineup for the Wii U is going to surprise some people. It’s going to be pretty damn good.”
Satterfield presumably has some insight as to what’s in store for Wii U due to his access to insider contacts and developers.
Unlike the New Super Mario Bros. 2 images that surfaced earlier in the day, these photos are in direct-feed. The screenshots above have been officially released by Nintendo of America.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo fans will have no shortage of reasons to celebrate this year, thanks to a wealth of upcoming games and content for both the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system and the Wii console. Nintendo today revealed plans to launch New Super Mario Bros. 2, a new side-scrolling Mario adventure for Nintendo 3DS, this summer. Later in the year, Nintendo will mark the 20th anniversary of the Kirby game series with a special compilation game disc for the Wii system.
