Nintendo lists Wii U games line-up

Retail releases and eShop downloads.

Nintendo has revealed a list of all Wii U titles revealed so far.

After yesterday's press conference there are no real surprises left on the list, although several digital Wii U eShop games are mentioned.

Nintendo is signed up to publish the most Wii U titles of any company on the list. That includes Pikmin 3, Game & Wario and the divisive Nintendo Land, as well as third-party games such as Ninja Gaiden 3 and Lego City: Undercover.

Ubisoft is the only other publisher to support the Wii U in real volume. The French publisher's Wii U schedule includes Assassin's Creed 3, ZombiU and Rayman Legends.

Arty 2D side-scroller Chasing Aurora and a director's cut of Trine 2 headline the Wii U's initial digital offerings. There's confirmation of Gaijin Games' Runner 2 as well, which was strongly hinted to Eurogamer earlier this year.

All titles are listed by Nintendo for a "holiday" 2012 release.
