With Nintendo’s Wii U set to launch in November — prime holiday season time — the development of launch and post-launch titles should be well underway, which means some listing system out there in the cold, dark world of retail would have a list of these games. Enter an unlikely hero, Blockbuster U.K., rather than the usual suspects of Walmart or GameStop, which listed 25 titles supposedly slated for Nintendo’s next big gimmicky console.
The list, as follows, in alphabetical order:
- Aliens: Colonial Marines
- Assassin’s Creed
- Batman Arkham City
- Darksiders II
- Dirt 3
- Formula 1 Allstars
- Game Party
- Ghost Recon Online
- Just Dance 4
- Killer Freaks From Outer Space
- Marvel Super Heroes
- Metro Last Night
- Monsters Party
- New Super Mario Brothers Mii
- Ninja Gaiden 3
- Pikim
- Rabbids Party Land
- Raving Rabbids
- Rayman Legends
- Shield Pose
- Splinter Cell 6
- Sports Connection
- Tekken
- Your Shape 2013
- Zombie

A few things of note from the listing: There are two games with the word “party” in the title, which seems par for the Nintendo course, as well as two games about Rabbids. A few of the other iconic franchises found in the list, such as Tekken and Assassin’s Creed, are without their iteration numeral or subtitle, but one can probably infer which titles those are based on the upcoming games in the franchise.
Remember, listing leaks are usually good to tell if something exists, but is quite suspect when dealing with precise release dates and pricing. Although, with 25 titles listing, some of them having to be making the launch date, right?
