Update: Nintendo has revealed an official list of launch titles. Two Activision games initially slated for Holiday 2012 release, Wipeout 3 and Skylanders Giants, have now been added to the Nov. 18 lineup.
Nintendo unleashed a torrent of information on their upcoming Wii U console, which will debut in North America on November 18th at a $299 price point, including an exclusive deal for Bayonetta 2, Nintendo TVii, and a name change for Project P-100 to The Wonderful 101.
However, it's usually confusing for any new launch title lineup to nail down just which titles are launch titles, launch window titles, or TBD. So combined with information received during the press event and Nintendo's own Wii U website, we have the following launch lineup for the Wii U.
