Nintendo Wii U Launch Titles

Here is a list of confirmed launch titles for the Nintendo Wii U!  There are some great games, both first and third party...something many of us Wii owners have not had to this extent in quite some time.

As you may know my only other modern console is the PS2, which hasn't really had any of the latest-and-greatest in quite some time.  I'm excited about the change of pace...I have starred games I would like to pick-up and added "!" by games I plan to pick up asap!

As you can see there are some great games slated for the launch and I can't wait to see what all else is in store.  There should be even more solid choices between launch and the end of the year.  And of course, the future is wide open!  I was very selective in this list.  There are a handful of other games I'd like to pick up, but the simple fact is money and free time only go so far.  I'd love to finally experience some of the games like Mass Effect and Darksiders I've heard so much about, but with limited free time I will probably hold out for some price drops and or time to investigate.
