Wii U Launch Titles Revealed With Capcom, Donky Kong, And LEGO In Tow

It's time for the first big official list of Wii U games to be brought to light, and with the pricing for the USA, Europe, and Japan already set alongside a November store date, the fun can begin! Starting with such giant titles as The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, LEGO and Donky Kong, it's looking like Nintendo may still have some magic under their belt. Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime seems to think so too, noting that "the new system also creates extraordinary new possibilities for game developers, bound only by the limits of their imaginations."

This system has been detailed several times in the past half year with our own hands-on experiences spanning the distance. You've got a Wii console and several different ways to control the system including the classic stick and nunchuck, a Pro controller that's closer to a traditional console controller than any other, and the next-generation GamePad with integrated second screen. This system will be working with two set releases, each of them with different amounts of excellence inside – and different hardware, too.

As for the games, you'll be working with the following relatively massive list – and note, some of these titles had already been announced before now, but most have just popped up this week:
