Topic: Rumor: Major Wii U eShop Games Leak

I just saw this posted on another popular Nintendo forum and thought I'd post it here. This seems really fake, but we'll see.

A source close to Dual Pixels that has insider knowledge of Nintendo has revealed to us a major Wii U eShop leak featuring titles scheduled for launch and some that are in production for the platform. Wii U, launching this Fall is Nintendo's most technologically advanced console to date with horsepower that rivals PS3 and Xbox 360 allowing our current HD experiences to be recreated on the upcoming console. According to our source, developers are taking note of the opportunities Nintendo presents with Wii U, given the superior processing power that was unavailable on the original Wii. The Wii U eShop leak below contains titles from a suite of publishers including Nintendo themselves, EA, Capcom, Square Enix, Activision, Valve, and more.

There are a couple of interesting titles that stand out of the leak we received. World of Warcraft, love it or hate it, is one of the most popular PC games in history and yet apparently will finally make it's console debut with Wii U. In addition, Valve will be bringing the FPS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also coming to PS3 and Xbox 360), which will be the first time they've ever released a title on Nintendo platforms. Recently our source correctly revealed to us that Assassin's Creed 3 would be launching on Wii U later this year. As with all rumors, they should be taken with a hint of excitement; and more importantly, a grain of salt.

As said on Gaf Fake rumor is Fake,

Rodea the Sky Soldier isn't a SEGA game.

I'm not gonna lie; there's too many near-unbelievable games on that list to make me come close to thinking that it's more than a blatant lie. DotA 2? A remake of Red Steel 2? Okamiden HD? (Actually, that last one might be a thing because Capcom's in charge...)

Also, I would assume those games would be very hefty in terms of size. What kind of harddrive is Nintendo putting in the Wii U? A 300 GB one?

EDIT: Also, I notice some MMOs on that list. While those do kind-of line-up with statements that said Nintendo was trying to make their online platform more open due to developer demand, I just don't see WOW being on any console, let alone Nintendo's. WOW is a game that demands monthly payments and the ability to instantly download patches freely whenever the need arises; both Microsoft's and Sony's systems don't allow for that kind of requirements, and I highly doubt Nintendo's would either.

Rumor invalid.

As much as I absolutely wish this was true.....I know it just can't be. It can't be because if it WAS true, I surely would have to have died and gone to heaven. There are a few titles on that list that get me thinking though. Particularly a Fluidity sequel. I would LOVE to see that. I think they could do some really unique things with the WiiU controller!

World of Warcraft?

Hah. No.

But then You forgot about the part where the PS3 has mmos and the 360 Has Phantasy STar Universe and the first Final Fantasy MMO.

It immediately lost all credibility once I say that on there. Not that it had any to begin with.

Thats what I thought.

First off Blizzard does WoW not the Activision branch, so right there thats wrong. Also I think they are a bit busy right now gearing up for the release of Diablo 3 and working on Mist of Pandarea than to be worrying about a Wii U version. Another thing if they were going to bring it out on the Wii U I am sure they would announce that big of an announcement at Blizzconn.

Nice try dude but next time come up with something a bit more believable.

World of Warcraft (Activsion) (Launch)

no way in hell. they'd need to enable the ability to download patches, expansion packs, and — perhaps most importantly — it'd have to be lag-free in terms of online gameplay in order for a Wii U version to be in any way a relevant contribution to WoW in general. Nintendo has yet to prove they can do online without lag being an issue, and I wouldn't trust the Wii U to solve the problem(s) overnight.

that, and there's not near enough buttons on that controller. no serious WoW player would play a Wii U version for any length of time.

... now if they were to actually come up with a Warcraft stand-alone non-MMO title, they might have a chance of pulling off a hit, but... not WoW. no way.

This was re-posted from another forum. I thought it looked fake, but posted anyway cause why not.

http://www.giantbomb.com/wii-u/60-139/rumor-major-wii-u-eshop... and http://www.webpronews.com/rumor-wii-u-to-get-world-of-warcraf... but i still think it might be fake

I love the name they made up for the Fluidity sequel. Great idea Rumor makers!

I am pretty much certain this is a fake. That said, if Blizzard is considering porting WoW to a console (something I don't believe to be true), the Wii U would be perfect. It is the first next-gen console to be released, thus it will have longevity. The touch sensible screen could provide all kins of buttons the PC centric interface needs. Because Nintendo is a later coming to HD videogames, they would be more willing to close a deal in favour of Blizzard. Finally, I understand WoW's subscriptions are stagnating if not decreasing and, therefore, Blizzard might be interested in reaching new customers.

WoW totally threw this off. Other games- interesting. I'll wait for Nintendo to bring forward legitimate information forward. Seems like another case of someone seeking attention and trying to hype WiiU more than they should and because people are so gullible, they spread this like wild fire, and even worse, people get disappointed just because Nintendo didn't deliver on that "promise"- a vicious cycle.

Wants to be real so badly but knows its a fake

First thing I saw too, haha.

Crysis? A Wii U download? Uhmmmm...
