I have yet to get hold of a WiiU, but the launch lineup is far more impressive than I thought it would be. New Super Mario Bros U looks like it finally bridges the gap between more casual players and die-hard platforming fans, with minimal sacrifice.
ZombiU isn't the game I thought it was, but instead something more like Condemned with elements from Demon's Souls. A game that demands immersion and involvement, in place of more complex game mechanics. A risky but appreciable game.
NintendoLand looks like it does what Wii Sports didn't, and shows off the capabilities of the tablet (of which there are surprisingly many), but doesn't sacrifice game quality. Some of the minigames are very surprising in their depth and length, especially the Legend of Zelda attraction. Certainly one of the best pack-in games.
Lastly, Scribblenauts Unlimited is Scribblenauts, but unlimited. It appears to be the absolute definitive version of the original concept, and that is certainly worth celebrating.
Other titles, like Chasing Aurora, I haven't even looked at, but it seems like the WiiU has a lot of quality lined up for it so far.
