Remember when Nintendo 64 came out and you had a wide variety of… two games to choose from? Yep, it was either Super Mario 64, Pilotwings 64, or both. Things have gradually improved over the years, and the upcoming Wii U launch is looking like the most varied yet, with 23 day-one titles to choose from. 

The full list of games available on launch day include: 

Nintendo

Nintendo Land 

New Super Mario Bros. U

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

Sing Party

Activision

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

Skylanders Giants

Transformers Prime

Wipeout 3

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment

Scribblenauts Unlimited 

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition

Game Party Champions

Ubisoft

Assassin's Creed III

ESPN Sports Connection

Just Dance 4

Rabbids Land

Your Shape

ZombiU

Various

Epic Mickey 2

FIFA 13

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed 

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper

Darksiders II

Seems like there will be some good variety available on the system's launch day. There's plenty more to come in the much wider "launch window"—which runs between November 18 and March 31, 2013—but what do you think of the day-one offerings?
