    1. Thought this website had better standards than posting trash like this…. It is beyond a rumor it is more of a BS post. No way in hell would you see even half of that on any console let alone a Nintendo console :(

    1. That just goes to show how reliable this list is when the source can’t even spell the publisher/developer right. I’ve amended it :-)

            1. Nah, that has to be ripped with the touch controls, What I can see in WiiU’s future is a bigger screen and a stand (like KI: Uprising 3DS stand) xD

              1. At the rate WoW is being dumbed down, it should be playable with a NES controller by the time Wii U is released.

          1. Blizzard is owned by Vivendi, and so is Activision. Activision doesn’t meddle with anything in Blizzards franchises.

    2. Nah. WoW could work.

      You can have over 12 hotkeys by using face buttons and holding RT or LT.

      Then you can just select the enemy or friend or your screen.

      Actually, I can see it working very well….

    3. If an mmo comes to a console i see one with a touch screen being the only one that it could work on. KB inventory etc can be on the screen

    1. No, I’m pretty sure it would work. I only have 2gb memory for my computer and it works just fine.
      I doubt it’s going to happen, though. I’d rather have a new MMO, though.

      1. You only have a 2 gig Hard Disc on your computer? Do you run Windows 95?

        Flash memory is storage, not RAM. An MMO like WoW probably would suck up the storage space very quickly with the constant updates and patches.

        1. That’s a good point. But with DLC’s being the business method right now. Nintendo or 3rd Party will launch a licensed HDD. Like 360’s perhaps. Who knows, E3 is going to be the light at the end of the tunnel…

  1. Lol half this list is believable, the other half of the list makes the whole list look like complete BS.

  2. If World of Warcraft is coming to the Wii U, Nintendo should promote that commercial and have Peter “Optimus Prime” Cullen to narrate it.

  3. Some of this just sounds too good to be true. I personally don’t care for WoW but some of that other stuff like Red Steel, Sonic, The Walking Dead. Ooooo man. Like I said this all sounds too good to be true. Trying not to get too excited since this could be fake but damn… it’s just too awesome to not think about..

  4. I doubt this is anything more than wishful thinking but it’s a pretty sweet list either way. I’d be very happy with those games.

  5. You better hope its fake, cuz this list is very reminiscent of Wii’s launch titles, only with other companies thrown into it. Also, really, Square-Enix? More Crystal Chronicles bullshit? I can however see a “re-loaded” version of Red Steel 2 happening, and the touchscreen might help it a great deal with the slashing. And what is Fluidity?

  6. Well if this list is completly true, then I’m glad that SEGA is giving Sonic 4 Ep: 2 to those that don’t own a PS3, 360 etc.

    1. These would probably be just the main release titles for the store. There will be plenty of shovelware and other games in the future.

      1. I never “proudly assumed” it. I just think there will be a lot of shovelware just like apple’s store has…

  7. If these rumors are true, this could be the one important thing that Nintendo will drop the 64,000 megaton A-Bomb on the entire world.

    1. Well we could die in 2013…

      You know? The asteroid passing very close to Earth? We need NASA to do something to that asteroid! How about we nuke it? If NASA does not care then we will build a ship that is full of Nukes and fly it into the Asteroid? The asteroid is due to pass back in 2029 and 2062… we need to do something or else that asteroid could kill you or me… Find out about it online, it’s about 200 Megatons if it hits earth which could easily take out a massive city.

      Ok, Now lets get back to this news and pretend the Asteroid is the new 2012 but just happening 2 months later. ;)

      Forget about nuking the asteroid.

  8. Yes games like WOW can make it to console and live longside PC, on the same worlds. FFXI spaned PC, PS2 and 360 and all games intermingled together I could use my same character on PC switch to xbox, then switch to PS2. The concept is real. I don’t rout blizzard would look into this idea.

  9. This is fake, why? Is simple you can tell when a game like WoW is not a confirmed game and Ghost Recon Online is one, however, you cannot see it on that list, did they forgot about it? don’t think so.

  10. Sounds fake as fuck. Another list of game by uncreative dickheads coming up with uncreative names for nonexistent games. Anyone even holding this one with any hope has to be idiots. Why is this even posted on this blog when it just bleeds fakeness?

  11. Very suspicious list. Did Activision Blizzard really work on a compact WoW client? Did Ubisoft really remake Red Steel 2, and what did they add to it? It sounds a bit like an overzealous fan-list, soon to be followed by lots of “We deny this title” and “We deny that title”

    If there was a WoW Wii U however, I’d be on it in a heartbeat. It would actually compete with Dragon Quest 10 for my gaming time.

  12. WoW from Activision? Shouldn’t it be from Blizzard? Still, this is a plausible list, but I doubt they would come out at launch considering even the 3DS hasn’t really picked up speed in the releases it gets on the eShop.

  13. i thought i said wii e shop earlier not wii u so i read part of the little of the list saw goldeneye 007 reloaded and thought goldeneye was remade for the wii and the wii version was remade for ps3 and xbox and then i thought its a remake of a remake and now remade again for remake purposes…

  14. And no one is freaking out about the “reported” Mario Strikers?! If anything THAT’S what I’m psyched about. As long as it’d be more like the original. Y’know, less cheap and all.

  15. If WoW is true I will start playing it again (hate playing on computer, cuz they suck for gaming) But it’s probably not going to happen.

  16. It’d be really funny if this is actually true and then they add even more epic titles. I’d literally die as soon as I’d hear that announcement. >_< People can dream…

  18. The only thing I care about in the Wii U eShop is whether we get to transfer our old Virtual Console titles to the new system. If so, if they be updated in any way. It would be great to have save states like the 3DS and most decent emulators have.

  19. The reason why I think it’s a fake list: Okamiden HD. That is far to good to me to hold any truth. But if this list, or just Okamiden and a few others is ever confirmed, my head will explode, implode, and then explode again… twice.

  20. it would be possible to play WoW/DN since the Wii U has usb ports(like the Wii). Just plug your mouse and keyboard and play the game, the Wii U would act like a real computer with the benefits of being a console: meaning better quality(lag free/no BSOD).

  21. i think im the only one excited for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the Wii U.that is if its like the gamecube one,not the dumb wii one.nice to know its full on games,not dumb appstore like games

  23. Unless they completely redo the interface and quite possibly make the game only run with Wii U’s, I don’t see how they could possibly make World of Warcraft work in anywhere near as of a responsive way as PC.

  24. I’ve personally spoken to someone i know well, an official Nintendo rep about this who’s ‘well informed’, and he thought the list was hilarious. Its all BS

    1. your full of shit haha, i know a official nintendo rep too, MARIO! just as reliable source as yours dumbass. #winning

  25. I am taking this with the whole damn salt shaker. I don’t think that WoW will EVER be on a console. I mean don’t get me wrong here. If any console, the Wii U would be my first pick, simply because of the touch screen for the abilities. But I don’t see Blizzard ever releasing a version of WoW for a console. I’d believe Counter Strike over World of Warcraft. That one I could see happening.

  28. World of Warcraft on a console is something I can never see happening. Raiding would be impossible without a keyboard/mouse in their current gameplay design.

      1. Sounds like it’s a good possibility, but who knows… we can dream about the possibilities of using the uPad as a keyboard touch screen.

  29. There are some games in the list that seem really unlikable to be true, but it would be just bad ass, if it is actually true the e-shop might probe to be better than the Xbox live and PSN

  30. I remember raising an eyebrow when I first heard rumors about World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike possibly landing on the Wii U eShop—it felt surreal. These titles are so deeply rooted in PC gaming that the idea of playing them on a Nintendo console sparks curiosity more than anything. I’ve been following CS2 closely and found this useful breakdown of pro settings here: https://daddyskins.com/blog/counterpedia/cs2-pro-settings/ — it gives a solid view of how top players optimize their performance. Platforms like DaddySkins also show how the gaming scene is shifting towards more interactive and rewarding systems, especially with case openings and skill-based upgrades. Whether or not these games arrive on the Wii U, it’s a good time to explore new setups and rethink what platforms can offer. Adaptability seems to be the real meta now, no matter what you play on.
