Two must-haves from Nintendo (Pikmin 3 and NSMB U), several high profile Ubisoft games, a new title from Platinum games (Project P-100), and most of the usual ports and shovelware is comparable to, if not an improvement over, a typical hardware launch.

It seems that Nintendo may have made a strategic mistake at its conference this morning focusing only on the games soonest to come, rather than broadening out to those further off. Still, the above list is perplexingly empty of the usual EA sports ports, Capcom’s holiday line-up, and the vital Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
