March marks the first month since launch for a high quality retail release on Wii U, and it's in the form of one exclusive (Lego City: Undercover, a game I am highly anticipating -- I've wanted Lego GTA ever since playing the first Lego Star Wars!) and an enhanced port of a last-gen game that undoubtedly has a large nice fanbase.

Critical reception and sales for these games will be critical, because the next high profile release after this isn't until the end of April with Injustice, and that's multi-platform.

Well, that may be, but I'll only be getting nfs. I might get the other 2 after I get an apartment and begin spending a lot more time alone. Depends on the reviews for lego city and if I can get any kicks out of the mh demo.

I hope they do well. For what it's worth, they are the first console games I have actually pre-ordered and will be playing on day one in years. I think the last time I bought a console game on day one was when Dark Souls released.

We agree, humans. We got an early review copy of Lego City and have been playing it virtually non stop since. Here's our review, and we hope that the game does well. It deserves to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO0fczlF4d4

Both will do well because of the Wii U's current game drought. People who originally had no interest in either of those titles will buy one, if not both just to finally have something to play that they haven't already bought for a different platform.

If Platinum was HAND drawn, she'd be on paper, fool. This is a video game. They just made her on screen, no "drawing" involved -Delano7 on BlazBlue

People will stay hyped until some PS-fanboy reviewer from IGN or another website says the games suck. Then everyone will be "**** this game is crap. CRAP! I don't want to buy it!" before trying the game themselves.

What the...?!
That was informative, creepy, and funny... mostly creepy though. Anyhow, glad the game seems to be delivering on some of the promises. Hopefully it does well commercially and spells good things to come for the console.
