Calling the launch lineup poor is absolutely ridiculous.
In terms of GOOD exclusives at day 1 we have,
- Rayman Legends (looks great, sequel to awesome game)
- New Super Mario Bros. U (stellar-looking platformer and the first Mario game to launch with a system since the N64)
- Nintendo Land (actually looks promising based on recent videos)
- Scribblenauts (only console release),
- Tank! Tank! Tank!
- Nano Assault Neo (first 3DS game was well-liked by critics)
Then there are the multiplatforms that are supposed to be a taste of what's to come in terms of third-party support on the Wii U.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (not having the biggest multiplat of this year would have been a travesty)
- Assassin's Creed 3 (which has better IQ)
- Fifa 13 (very significant improvements utilizing the GamePad)
- Madden NFL 13 (GamePad features so very significant improvement)
- Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed (visual improvements)
- Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
- 007 Legends
There are games designed to appeal to casual gamers
- Just Dance 4
- SiNG Party
- Rabbids Land (to an extent)
- Your Shape 2013
- Ben 10 Omniverse
- Game Party Champions
Ports of games that already came out. This is for the audience that only owned a Wii.
- Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition
- Darksiders II
If you think this is horrible, you either have an anti-Nintendo bias or you're just a troll. For a launch lineup, this is great.
I've been seriously waiting for someone to apologize for the lackluster lineup and say that it can't be beat (the general impression I get from your post)
I see rehashes and ports. Rayman is more of the same that we've already gotten, same with NSMBU a rehash of a rehash, what's that now the 4th NSMB game in how many years, must be getting pretty easy to put a new coat of paint, a smattering of new features and call it all brand new game, and charge $60 for it and have people eat it up. Both games are guilty of this right here.
Nintendo Land, welcome to mini-game central yay!!!......
Scribblenauts, I've never played, I have played another of 5th cell's games, Drawn to Life though, and if it's anything like it, oy...
Tank! Tank! Tank! looks like a hyperkentic action game (while not a bad thing) which could get real old real fast, and honestly looks nothing new that Sega already hadn't done in the last 20 years.
Nano Assault Neo's cousin Super Stardust HD says "Hi" and honestly is too niche to make a splash for mainstream consumers.
Next up, ports (multiplats, still ports no matter how you dress'em why'd you separate them from the other ports you listed below...), seriously I'm not going to even touch the ports, they aren't system sellers, and this time next year we'll know how well the AAA 3rd party support is still going strong or abandoning the platform, just like every other Nintendo platform since the N64.
Moving on....I like this comment.....

This baffles me, no one is allowed a truthful opinion, if they believe the Nintendo Wii U launch lineup stinks. I get so annoyed reading the same crap from Nintendo Sheeple every 5-6 years because there is no defense of the systems other than well it has Nintendo's 1st party games, hell that's a majority of all they've ever had for years going for them, there were many reports from 3rd party devs that their Core software sold like crap on the Wii and they were going to drop support (this was 2 years ago these reports came out) people are hoping to cash in on what they hope is 'Lightning in a Bottle' again early on if the Wii U is as successful as the Wii, which I believe it won't be, since it doesn't have
the biggest casual game of all time Wii Sports as a pack in, showcasing the system.
And frankly with a majority of those who bought a Wii burned on the idea of the system and never touching it primarily after playing it after the first few months of buying it, a vast manjority of those non-gamers will not be persuaded to pick up this one when what comes to their minds is, well I didn't play the last one much why spend $300-350 on a new one I won't use either.
Zombie U is the only game I can say that impressed me as a true system seller, Pikmin 3, just because, but again not a system seller (to me), even exclusives like Bayonetta 2 while nice to hear, might not pay off for Nintendo in the end. I'm taking a wait and see approach as I do with every Nintendo system, but right now as they've done since the N64 days they NEED to impress me and so far they have not. They barely support their systems 5 years since the N64 onwards and cut and run onto the new system when it's time to move on, this is something I've been very angry with Nintendo with for years, if Sony can support a hardware with new software past 2 years after the new system has launched, what excuse does Nintendo have for that repeat in behavior, time and again, none as far as I can see it.
I'll see ya in two years when they drop the price and actually have something I want to play, even then who knows, I still might be playing the games from this gen, I'm still not done playing with and say screw to next-gen as it's all hype and no substance.
In the interest of disclosure, I own every system from the SNES on up, and have over 150+ games combined for all of those platforms, so I don't want to hear anti-Nintendo this or troll crap coming out of your mouth in my case. Nintendo fails to impress me yet again on a system launch and yet again am I sitting here annoyed with a bunch of wankers telling me that I should take what they give cause it's Nintendo and be happy with it. Bollocks to that.
Maybe some attraction.
