Nintendo, after confirming the price and release date of its upcoming Wii U, has now revealed what games will be made available for it in North America right on its release date, November 18, and during its launch window, which spans from November 18 to March 31, 2013.

The Nintendo Wii U will finally put the Japanese company on equal footing with its competitors, Sony and Microsoft, in terms of console performance, as the new device can more than rival the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

After plenty of speculation, Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U will be priced at $299.99/€299.99 for the 8GB version and $349.99/€349.99 for the 32GB edition and will be released on November 18, in North America, and November 30, in Europe.

Now, the company has revealed the launch day and launch window games that will be released for the Nintendo Wii U in North America.
