[garyopa]

Is getting some good games ready for the Nintendo Wii Launch!



Of course this term 'Launch Window' is getting overused, as most likely only 'Black Ops 2' will be available on actual 'Launch Day'

Activision has announced during the Wii U Preview event in New York City that Skylanders Giants, Wipeout 3, 007 Legends,Transformers Prime and Call of Duty Black Ops 2, which was leaked prior to the event, are Wii U launch window titles in North America.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on Wii U will have exclusive features like off-TV play and multi-player with one player using the TV and the other the GamePad.

Some more info was sent to us recently by Activision in a form of early PR announcement:

Following the launch announcement of Nintendo's Wii U, Activision is delighted to announce that the following titles are available on the new platform this year:

Call of Duty: Black Ops II

skylanders giants is a rip off, why do they need a new base for the toys instead of just using the nfc?

this one is based on the tv show "wipeout" fronted in the uk by richard hammond and in the usa by two presenters i'd get far more entertainment from if i'd hung them up and used them as human pinatas.
