    Just seen THIS article over at Go Nintendo that points to a NeoGAF thread talking about this rumored Wii U eShop leak.

    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.



    Nintendo Wii U eShop Titles In Development


    Level 5

    * Professor Layton Chronicles (Level 5)

    Activision

    * Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD-Complete (Activision) (Launch)
    * Goldeneye 007: Reloaded (Acitivsion) (Launch)

    Square Enix

    * Demon's Score (Square Enix/Epic)
    * Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Wii U (Square Enix)

    Telltale Games

    * The Walking Dead (Telltale Games) (Launch)

    Ubisoft

    * UbiArt Presents: Sketchtarium
    * Red Steel 2: Locked a Reloaded (Ubisoft)
    * I Am Alive (Ubisoft) (Launch)

    Valve

    * Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Valve) (Launch)
    * DotA 2 (Valve)



    There are a couple of interesting titles that stand out of the leak we received. World of Warcraft, love it or hate it, is one of the most popular PC games in history and yet apparently will finally make it's console debut with Wii U. In addition, Valve will be bringing the FPS Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (also coming to PS3 and Xbox 360), which will be the first time they've ever released a title on Nintendo platforms. Recently our source correctly revealed to us that Assassin's Creed 3 would be launching on Wii U later this year. As with all rumors, they should be taken with a hint of excitement; and more importantly, a grain of salt.

    I wish E3 would come sooner. Curious to see what is true and what is not true.

    Remember this is a rumor so take it as a grain of salt for now.

    you should've added "Stupid" to the title 'cause that is just plain ridiculous.

    the mere combination of WoW, CS: Go and Dota2 (WoW at launch hahaha) reeks of idiocy ....

    this isn't even worth a topic. some of those games seem likely (easy ports of downloadable games) but most of those are way too random to be believable (I Am Alive? Goldeneye HD Reloaded? Okami HD?) ...lol

    Not unless they allow a keyboard to control it or come out with a controller with too many buttons to be holdable.

    Huh. Seems like too many games for "launch," and too many actual games. I suspect if this was real the majority would be 'launch window.'

    If WoW was going to be released on the Wii U, it would already be released on the PS3 and 360

    I want this to be true for one reason...

    It says there will be a HD version of Okamiden for it...

    This needs to happen! What a fantastic game.

    I can't see WoW happening, but I can see CS:GO and maybe DotA 2. Valve has a very good way of trying new things. For example, when they brought Steam integration onto the PS3.

    they'd just have to turn the touch screen into a keyboard for WoW and things would be alright. however, I think if you make an MMO like this, it would probably have to be designed from the ground up to allow for cross-platform play in terms of functionality and interface.

    basic mouse functionality could easily achieved with the touch screen so Dota2 should be quite doable.

    doesn't change the fact that the list is 100% bullshit.

    WOW and Dota2 made me lol. MB in some fashion they can dumb down WOW, and I mean u dont need mad APM for a MMO. But still, Wii U's touch screen is not even as good as the ones on tablets and smartphone + cmon its Nintendo, the most backward internet savy game company in the world.

    I hope some of it is true, because if Nintendo doest get its online functionality together this generation; they are fucking doomed. No way they will be able to catchup with MS and Sony online wise if they fuck again this time.

    I could see Blizzard wanting to expand WoW to console due to the subscriber dropping they are experiencing right now. But this still seems crazy to me.

    You know what's funny? I'd believe that Blizzard would look into WoW for consoles if it wasn't so soon after the launch of Diablo 3. I mean, think about it - their numbers have been on a decline. What better way to boost their sales and subscriptions than with console releases? The hardware would have to support it with a large hard drive, but I can see a tablet styled controller working fine for the game's controls, especially since the UI is already pretty customizable.

    I just don't think this one's as crazy as, say, Counter-Strike. Maybe that's just me.

    I'll wait until there is something official.

    With that said, WoW on Wii U is not a completely incapable thing. It just doesn't seem that practical unless it's some type of different product. Then again, given the launch date for the new expansion and what will probably be the launch date for Wii U (which I'm sure we'll have a date come E3), it wouldn't be too far out of thought that it COULD happen.

    If WoW did happen on the Wii U, it would definitely push units.

    WoW, Okamiden HD, and DOTA 2 make this the fakest thing to ever be faked.

    It also reads like it was fabricated by someone who admittedly is familiar with some underappreciated titles on Nintendo platforms. Fluidity: Toxic is so ridiculously unlikely because the first Fluidity barely sold at all despite being pretty damn good, and the Red Steel 2 rerelease is unlikely for similar reasons.

    Also, that is just way too many game series that gamers actually might like. Where are the 5-10 complete shit shovelware games? Where's Asphalt HD? Every system launch needs them.

    WOW could be great for WiiU; the touch screen could easily be used for hotkeys. It certainly seems like it would be the best platform (besides PC) for something like that.

    Looks like a list someone made up when asked the question what releases would you want for the Wii U eShop, if by some long shot it did turn out to be true that would be some launch.

    Unless the WiiU allows for the downloading of mods/addons, WoW won't be possible, or at least the players on console won't be able to play with the PC players without pissing them off.

    Huh. If this is true I'm at least intrigued and even excited about a few of them. But I also saw a lot of older games getting ported over. That's not a great sign to me. The Wii U, to capture the 360 and PS3 market, need to release new games and not retooled older games.

    You know what's funny? I'd believe that Blizzard would look into WoW for consoles if it wasn't so soon after the launch of Diablo 3. I mean, think about it - their numbers have been on a decline. What better way to boost their sales and subscriptions than with console releases? The hardware would have to support it with a large hard drive, but I can see a tablet styled controller working fine for the game's controls, especially since the UI is already pretty customizable.

    I just don't think this one's as crazy as, say, Counter-Strike. Maybe that's just me.

    But CS:GO was always going to be a console game, a Wii U release just kinda makes sense.

    @MikkaQ: Oh damn, you're absolutely right. Not sure what I was thinking of.

    Just seen THIS article over at Go Nintendo that points to a NeoGAF thread talking about this rumored Wii U eShop leak.

    A source close to Dual Pixels that has insider knowledge of Nintendo has revealed to us a major Wii U eShop

    I stopped reading after eShop.

    And anyone who thinks that the Wii U is going to be equipped with a built-in hard drive? Or really thinks that games that are downloadable titles for other consoles are going to be sold at retail, at retail prices? Heck, installing WoW expansion packs takes a DVD-ROM.

    WoW on Nintendo?...well, subscriptions are on the decline so this would be a way to rope in another new bunch of idiots (I know, I was one for several years).

    I can certainly see the Wii U come with a hard drive. I can also see some of the games on the platform as downloads, but not all of them.
