Amazon outs several Wii U launch titles

Games currently priced at $50 by retailer

Retailers are certainly a leaky bunch, and the latest unofficial reveal pertains to possible Wii U launch titles, outed by way of Amazon.

Amazon.com's product page for Nintendo's upcoming console lists a number of supposed launch games under the "Wii U Release Software Lineup" section, all of which also appeared on Blockbuster UK's lineup, leaked earlier this month.

That particular list was 25-games long and didn't specify which titles would be released alongside the console. Amazon narrows it down to the following, with $50 price tags attached to several games:

Wii U will feature a wide variety of exciting first and third party games and software at the time of system launch. Just a few of those players can expect include:

New Super Mario Bros. Mii

Darksiders II

DiRT

Aliens Colonial Marines

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online

Metro Last Light

Tekken

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (working title)

And Nintendo Mii-based software yet to be confirmed.

For those unaware, "working title" means the game doesn't have an official name just yet. Previously, a Japanese retailer reportedly named a release date of November 18 for the Wii U, though this is also unconfirmed.

Sounds like they just rattled off known titles to project them as launch window titles.

Kind of like how the Blockbuster database was just random guesses to fill the system so they had something Wii U in the system.

I'm glad nintendo is selling their games for less than the other brands. It's what always makes Nintendo sell out.

They pretty much just copied the information for WiiU from Nintendo's Website word for word. Slap on a few games Nintendo has said are coming (game built off super mario Mii and something akin to Wii Sports) and you have Amazon's inside source.

In economic time like this, lower price tags mean better profit...Capitalists such as Microsoft and Sony don't understand that much...

When half if not more of those games are out on every other platform months and months before Wii U a $10 reduction makes them rather expensive.

I love how you say this when the Wii U hasn't even been released yet.

I know when other games are coming out.. When the Playstation 3 launched any games it got months after another platform had a considerable price reduction. $10 is not considerable.. I don't need the system to be out to know how the industry works.
