EShop w/download play would make it a day1 purchase .

I wish Solomon's Key was a precurser to a Rygar release, but just like the Wii and 3DS I assume Tecmo will inexplicably not bring that NES classic to the VC opting instead for the NES AND arcade versions of Solomon's Key .

Blossom tales looks interesting.

Tank is worth the 8 quarters ($2) as an easy to pick up multiplayer arcade game.

It's a nice diversion. Most of my game playing is with other people, so the more titles that are multiplayer the better!

Love it so far, wish there was a quick reset button like Moto Heroz.

The WiiU problem is not 3rd party games, it's first party.

If you look at Wii, DS & 3DS you can graph success of the system against the frequency of Nintendo launches.
DS started slow and went crazy when there was ~1 game/month from Nintendo.
The Wii came out of the gates strong...with tons of Nintendo games alongside it. 15 games in its first 18 months including Smash, Metroid, Zelda, Wii Sports, Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Wii Fit (EVERY major Nintendo franchise and a bunch of other titles).
The 3DS stumbled out of the gate, b/c it went 6 months with no Nintendo titles. It is now on fire, interestingly enough as we've been getting a major release EVERY other MONTH!
The WiiU has had 4 months of no new Nintendo titles. There isn't anything planned until June. The launch calendar is very barren of Nintendo titles. THAT is the problem. If they'd released 6 games in 6 months it would be selling well.

It's not about 3rd party - Nintendo has had GREAT 3rd party support on WiiU.
It's all about Nintendo titles. That is why people buy Nintendo consoles. The data is very clear. Whenever Nintendo releases ~1 game/month for their consoles they dominate. Whenever they struggle to release a game every 3 months for their consoles they sputter (look at the end of the Wii life cycle, the problem was that Nintendo had run out of titles!)

As an aside I'm disappointed that Most Wanted U did so poorly. I really like playing it with the WiiWheel.

Luigi's Mansion is great! I hope it continues to sell, I was surprised by just how much fun the single-player is.
Hadn't planned on picking up until they announced multiplayer, but I would have missed out if I hadn't. GREAT title.

Day 1

Personally I wish they'd hire a new level designer.
Their games look jaw-droppingly fantastic!
However, they don't play amazing. Things like the in-bounds, but out of bounds rule they use in their mini-golf or the crazy white/black system in FAST make the games more frustrating to play than fun. I think Nano Assault Neo on the WiiU is the best of the 4 I've bought, but I've always been much more dazzled than satisfied with Shin'en products, and that comes down to level & game design.
THEY LOOK GREAT!
...but they could play better, and I hope they do in the future, b/c if they did Shin'en would be the #1 downloadable developer on any platform.

Sounds like a buy...
...as soon as a patch is released!
Love what you wrote about the download play option, I dig download play.
Is multiplayer 2-player or 4?

Exclusive for WiiU...
I am glad that the Challenge mode is coming.
Seriously, I'm very glad.
Still some bad feelings inside about the moving of the game...really bad feelings.
That said, Nintendo potentially could have stepped up here more. They let MS steal their thunder on the title b/c Nintendo hasn't in the past done advertising and pushing of 3rd party games in the US. Look at any cross-platform game, it has the X360 jingle at the end of the TV commercial. I will be sad when this game is the same b/c Nintendo isn't paying to put their jingle in the commercial and to focus on advertising the WiiU. Missed opportunity...like this game not releasing in February was missed opportunity.

I'd like a Theme Park Sim as well. I loved RCT for that, but don't get excited about the roller coaster creator games. I guess others do...so...uh...enjoy!

It looks like it just arena? I thought the WiiWare game was seriously boring (lacked any skill, challenge or driving force to play forward, my kids didn't even bother finishing it).
...and the arena part was the worst part of that game!

Comparing this to Skylanders makes this look like a cheap cash-in (just being honest here). Skylanders has big beautiful levels, a great storyline, and looks like a AAA game title.
This game is looking about A-grade at best to me and the figurines simply don't compare to Skylanders or Disney Infinity.
I like the idea of NFC and figurines, but the execution in this case seems terribly off and rushed to me. I really hope I'm somehow wrong, but I don't hold out much hope for this title.

P&D is totally different. Really totally different, like Pokemon + Puzzle Quest different.

I only played the WiiWare demo of this and I thought it looked great and didn't have very interesting game play. I'll wait for a review, but watching the video leaves me thinking they should have moved onto something else. They clearly get visuals!

Aero Porter has been on my radar since release...I just haven't had TIME! Will buy it when discounted and HOPE I have time to play in the future (very unlikely as I'm busy with both Luigi's Mansion & Fire Emblem on the 3DS and Most Wanted U & Toki Tori on the Wii U - SOOO many games at the moment...so little time...)

Not surprised. I found the first game terribly tedious and quit before I hit three hour mark despite forcing myself to pick up the game several times. The concept is good, but it's a good example of why touch screen controls are bad. They lack the precision and skill of a controller and it leads to sloppy frustrating play.
That's too bad b/c I love the look and feel of this game, it's just missing it where it counts.

Freezes on us daily. Only this game. Very disappointing (and if you read reviews around the internet, quite common).

Biggest worry is it being less of a Wii U showcase. The demo showed inventive use of the Wii U gamepad.
I expect the content will be dumbed down to whatever works cross-platform. In fact I think expect isn't a strong enough word.

Really disappointed by this, but I get the business thinking...I think it is wrong! Horribly wrong!
...but I get what they are thinking.
I will still support the game and its team, but it is clear this was very poorly handled by Ubisoft. A major gaffe of stupidity.

DQX sales are so terrible it's hard to fathom. WiiU is really struggling to capture the imagination of players . (loving mine though...)
3DS continues to do amazingly well in Japan. Looks like NSMB2 will outsell Mario Kart 7 in the coming weeks? I'm honestly surprised by that.

Day 1!

I'd say this is the moment.
If we want companies to take WiiU seriously we need a huge effort to support this game. Operation Rainfall big. Tell your friends on facebook. Get people to order. Show 3rd parties the WiiU has fans who will respond when they bring their A game!

This is an opportunity.
We've complained through a whole generation of Wii that 3rd parties gave us inferior crap. When they do bring us a superior version, do we support it? Or do we prove that they've been right to give us inferior ports for a generation!

I don't known if I'll love this game, I'm frustrated by the DLC, but I recognize this is the moment! Do we put up or shut up?
I for one want to send the message that when Nintendo gets a superior version of a game that has been lovingly made, that it is wanted , loved, and supported by the players!

Origin is selling this direct for $29.99
NO reason not to get it at that price!!
I've had some qualms about not having DLC planned, but they went all out in supporting WiiU. This is not a quick and dirty port. It is the first 3rd party game with MiiVerse support.
I don't like the DLC thing AT ALL.
But for $30 I'll definitely support what the Dev did. EVERYONE should if they want more devs to put their hearts into a WiiU game.

I want to support the devs, but when you don't have an expectation of DLC and you know the game will be half price in 2-3 months it is hard to purchase day 1. I just don't feel like my purchase will make any difference, and w/o the DLC, which sounds great, and is announced for other platforms, my excitement level drops a ton.
I don't know. I was figuring out how to pick this up, but after hearing there is no expected support of DLC I'm not nearly as likely to get it before it is discounted.

@Marioman64
Chasing Aurora is good if you take the time to get it. I'd call it a gamer game b/c it honestly takes 30-60 minutes to figure out the controls and how to play effectively.
Once you get it, there is some good fun there. It's definitely worth a look, but clearly not for everyone and probably not a great mixed group game (better with experienced players).

I got Starship Defense last time it came around and think it is hands down the best DSiWare title I've ever gotten*, couldn't be more pleased with that pick-up. If you like Tower Defense I strongly recommend it. It's original...and brutally hard, but if you learn what does and doesn't work it's very rewarding to beat!

This time I picked up Pit. Hoping the new control scheme and 3D will make it fun again after all these years .

*Excepting my own DSiWare titles of course! I don't think it's fair to compare something I made b/c I'm just a little biased! (Airport Mania ftw!)

Nice to hear, unfortunate this game is going to WiiWare.
I wish him well, but that is a hard market.
Unfortunate it couldn't also be on the eShop on WiiU.

1pm was early for us working folks. Please do this again though, I really want in next time!

Loved this game!
You are in for a treat!

Sign!!

http://www.change.org/petitions/ubisoft-entertainment-s-a-keep-to-the-original-rayman-legends-release-date-for-the-wii-u

We **NEED** this to release now!
Otherwise Ubi WILL GO BACK "Make it more appropriate for the X360 & PS3 platforms and userbase!"

This game WILL BE DESTROYED if it is modified. The goodness of the Wii U gamepad will be destroyed, the family fun game will be lost. It will be made generic and be focused on sophomoric humor. Ubisoft needs to hear our voices...it's time to answer the Nintendo users for once!

TOO LATE!

If I still get Rayman it will be after it is HEAVILY discounted.
I'm sorry, but no.
I was going to be getting the game this month, then you pulled the rug out...why???

So you can make it a worse game by focusing on other less unique platforms. Maybe I'll buy it used just so it doesn't count as an additional sale for Ubi.

TOO LATE! You can't decide not to swim after you jumped in the water!
It's just too late!

BIG miss by Nintendo not to pay to make this exclusive and market the heck out of it.

My BIGGEST fear is that the game is worse b/c it doesn't have more focused WiiU gamepad integration. THAT WAS WHAT made the demo great. Take it away to make the game work on PS3 & X360 and you JUST LOST ME!

Tears...I have been pushing this game and its demo on EVERYONE who walks into my house, works with me, or is connected to my facebook account. I recall it all . I expect the change will MATERIALLY DAMAGE the product.

I don't buy Nintendo for 3rd Party.
I buy Nintendo b/c they are consistently the most innovative and interesting games to my taste.
I appreciate 3rd party games, on the Wii I loved Rune Factory to the point of it being one of the most played on my system, but I didn't buy the system for Rune Factory.
I hope the WiiU continues to get fun 3rd party titles that are quirky and different like Rune Factory, Tatsunoku vs. Capcom, and Fishing Resort.

HOWEVER, even if we get NOTHING from 3rd parties I'll be incredibly pleased with the WiiU b/c NO ONE makes games that I CONSISTENTLY enjoy as much as I enjoy Nintendo titles.

Just Nintendo published titles alone are enough to keep my pocketbook bare and my freetime overloaded with good games to the point of not being able to play them all!

I'm not concerned, the games look great, the last generation looked fine, on with innovation and more fun. I am ready!

My son: Why is it single player? LEGO is all about playing together.

I am totally interested in this, but have no plans to get it simply b/c it isn't Co-Op. I'll continue enjoying LEGO LoTR .

Co-op!
That is the reason to get this. There is none on the 3DS, but on WiiU you can play together!
Co-op makes it worth getting! The review score is higher as a 2 player game than if are only playing solo.

Contra 4 on the DS has both Contra and Super C as unlockables. I recommend it!

Would love a Zelda table

Super excited about the NBA 2K13 demo

Will check out the demo, but probably not the game. I played the Wii one for a bit, but it just wasn't for me. I love Advance Wars, but Fire Emblem, at least the Wii version I played, was a little too much tactics for my blood. I don't dig the high ground/low ground and always making sure your characters are facing the right direction. I do like the idea of permadeath, but in practice it is more stressful than fun.
Glad there is a demo, don't expect I'll pick up the game though.

I'm enjoying the 3DS game, wouldn't get it again, but hope it lifts the series in Japan. The Professor isn't selling over there like he used to.

The Rayman Legends DEMO is better than MANY of the GAMES available for WiiU.
If the actual game is as good it will be one of the best games ever made!

RUNE FACTORY 4!

Actually the list doesn't excite me much, I hope it improves as the year progresses. Last year I liked Art Academy, Layton, NightSky, Heroes of Ruin, and incomparable Crush 3D!

Liked the demo...except the female character's outfit and walk. Otherwise I'd buy, but seriously, does everything related to women have to overtly sexualized in video games?
Their approach to the female character is a fail.
...which is too bad b/c otherwise I'd buy in heartbeat and share with friends.

I'd make some big changes to your list - ADD these 6!
Crush 3D
NightSky
Super Mario 3D Land
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Shadow Wars
Art Academy
KEEP these 4 (the other 6 titles from your list are out...though a couple of them are very good, my 6 above are simply better!)
Mario Kart 7
Pushmo
Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy
Kid Icarus: Uprising

...this provides more variety in gaming than the original list I think, in addition to better titles .

Wii - Rhythm Heaven
WiiWare - La-Mulana
3DS - Crush 3D
3DS shop - NightSky
WiiU - NintendoLand

My retro gamer side will probably scream at me until I buy this.
I hope it doesn't let my memories down .
...and I hope it does come to the US!

More proof that NOA is bungling the 3DS in the US.
Japan totally has it figured out, with games that appeal to the customers.
In the US, what is our Monster Hunter or Inazuma or Dragon Quest?
The BIG game that gets people on the system. The BIG game that is built FOR the system and the US market?
It's probably a shooter, despite me not liking them, and NOT having a dual circle pad 3DS is a huge miss when considering the US market, it shows a crazy lack of understanding of what the 3DS needs to be successful in the US.

YEAH for Japan though!
We need more of their intelligent approach to gaming overseas!

I wanted to love Fluidity, but I found the controls exasperating. They caused SO MUCH FRUSTRATION. I was really glad that the brilliant and somewhat similar NightSky did away with the clumsy tilt controls and went with the controller.

Honestly, if I wanted to play with imprecise controls there are tens of thousands of similar games on iOS/Android.

I REALLY wish they'd considered using the controller on the new game. That it has a controller may be the single best reason to own a home gaming console today. I honestly don't know how you can give a game a 9 while saying it has control issues. I'm skipping this with extreme prejudice, but for those who enjoyed Fluidity, keep on enjoying, I'm happy it works for you!

Wow! Too bad about WiiWare, it will kill the sales.
Hopefully that doesn't keep the 3DS version from being finished. This looks fantastic!

1.2 is retail.
NPD doesn't include digital.
...still, at the Wii launch, I immediately picked up Twilight Princess (actually I got Z:TP BEFORE I even got a Wii since it was so hard to get a Wii at the time!). For WiiU, I'm tempted by a couple of games, but waiting for sales.
