E3 2011 Nintendo Press Conference: Core Games for the Wii U Revealed

Nintendo's lack of third-party support for the Wii is one of the console's biggest shortcomings. The Japanese game maker revealed at its E3 2011 press conference today that it won't repeat that mistake with the Wii U, announcing a number of core games for the system.

Electronic Arts, THQ, and Ubisoft were among the publishers to pledge their support for the Wii U, and a number of developers revealed that they're already hard at work developing core games for the new system.


Batman: Arkham City, Ghost Recon Online, Assassin's Creed, Aliens: Colonial Marines, DarkSiders II, Metro: Last Light, Tekken, Ninja Gaiden 3, and Madden NFL were among the big titles/franchises to be announced for the Wii U.

Specifics on how these games will incorporate the Wii U's unique controller system were not revealed.
