[Rumor] A Wii U launch list so crazy, it has to be fake

Are you ready to play WoW on Nintendo?

Editor's Note: g1 CommanderZaktan might have posted this first, but HarmlessHazard's post was easier on the eyes. Kudos to everyone who caught wind of this and we will follow up as the story develops.

According to Dual Pixels, games like WoW, DotA 2, and Counter Strike: Global Offensive, as well as many other unannounced titles will all be available for the Wii U at launch.

Here's what they had to say:

"A source close to Dual Pixels that has insider knowledge of Nintendo has revealed to us a major Wii U eShop leak featuring titles scheduled for launch and some that are in production for the platform. Wii U, launching this Fall is Nintendo's most technologically advanced console to date with horsepower that rivals PS3 and Xbox 360 allowing our current HD experiences to be recreated on the upcoming console. According to our source, developers are taking note of the opportunities Nintendo presents with Wii U, given the superior processing power that was unavailable on the original Wii. The Wii U eShop leak below contains titles from a suite of publishers including Nintendo themselves, EA, Capcom, Square Enix, Activision, Valve, and more. "

The list is as follows:

  • I Am Alive (Ubisoft) (Launch)

Seems really strange to me. I mean WoW? DotA 2? And most of them are just ports and HD make-overs. I think I'll wait until E3 to see just how far fetched (or true!) this list really is.

What do you make of it?

Don't think that Level 5 will be making Professor Layton games to the Wii U. But I would be very happy if this is the real launch titles.

Fake. Reason? World of Warcraft by Activision. If that didn't make it fake right then and there, i don't know what else on this list could.

They didn't say if it was developer or publisher though, so it's still possibly. I'd love to play WOW on the WiiU right on launch. But if it's just a spin-off then.... no.

Yeah...I can understand a name usage, but if it's the Blizzard WoW, it better damn well have Blizzard show up upon booting up.

Ummm... Just in case you didn't know Blizzard and Activision are merged. Believe me I just learnt this in my gaming industry class.
