Topic: Confirmed 3rd Party Wii U games

The list is from metacritic, with EU dates added from a combination of sources like IGN and NL. I'm sure there are some that aren't on that list because they've been announced as vaguely "coming" and do not have an actual date yet, such as a couple of the ones you mentioned originally. It's a start though.

I think only three games need to be announced in this eventual Nintendo Direct: GTAV and the two new Metal Gears!

Whilst recognising that those are big games and, therefore, a big draw, they're not for me. I'd far rather see Hitman and DMC make their way over, even if that does mean more late ports (which I guess is pretty selfish of me, since late ports will always be handicapped sales wise and therefore fail to convince the market). Dark Souls 2 is another I could pick up if it's announced.

Not a GTA guy but no denying that it would be a epic announcement if it showed up on WiiU in September. Personally would buy it but would love to see Dark Souls, Killer is Dead along with a Metal Gear game

Aliens follow up that I could find.
We asked Sega what was going on. The publisher told us the Wii U version is due out in the Wii U launch window which, technically, runs up to the end of March 2013.

Sega reiterated it had never announced the Tuesday, 12th February date for Wii U. That worldwide date only ever applied on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Fixed the list to where it is manageable to look at lol.

Iwata: "Every gaming hardware has its specialities. There is a timing of hit and miss before the functions can be used fully. We were not able to provide development kits that get out all the power of wiiu until mid of last year. "

If true then the possibility of some nice 3rd party stuff in the second half of the year seems likely.

Who cares. It looks like a tubular game in itself and you should definitely rent it.

Haha! Each to their own; I spent ages trying to get it it into a table for so that the dates lined up and researching the EU launch dates (for me and several others on here, they're the relevant ones. Like I say though, each to their own, it's your list.

LOL just trying to contribute . Is there a way to embed pictures on this site ?

Added European release dates as I meant no disrespect.

Ugh... Not many exclusive third party games... And even thought, some of them are games they came a lot time sooner on other platforms. Not very good reasons to buy a Wii U if you aren't very much into Nintendo stuff.

None taken. I know it's difficult to try and keep I manageable, even on such a short list. Title or release date sorting, for example? Some people on here do add images, so there is a way but I can't help you.

Nope, not yet but you've got to start somewhere.

added Lego Marvel Super Heroes fall 2013. The year of lego's lol

To put images in your posts, put (img)link to pic(/img) Except make the ( and ) [ and ]

Thanks

No problem. If you need any other help with tha kind of stuff, it's here.

Excellent ! Thank you again,

The only ones I am looking forward too are Injustice: Gods Among Us, Lego City Undercover, and Sniper Elite. All the other games that I am looking forward too like Tomb Raider and GTAV aren't coming to Wii U.

Tomb raider is a big downer for me also but also goes hand in hand with this NL article

Nice to see the updated list but I'd suggest either removing that one or adding Bayonetta 2 since they're both second party titles and not third.

Fixed. Did not realize Nintendo is the publisher

Yeah, it is an odd one. You can't say they're not doing anything to get some biggish exclusives beyond their regular IPs.
