While some of the games, like Darksiders II and Assassin’s Creed III, will be a little late on Nintendo’s console in comparison to other platforms, getting these games will be a big boost for Wii U owners. Having an exclusive Super Mario launch title is also something Nintendo hasn’t done in a while, and should please dedicated Nintendo fans.
