Nintendo has updated the launch lineup for the Wii U in North America. Previously, the list of Wii U launch games included 15 titles, but now that has been expanded to 23 games. This is all official stuff coming from Nintendo, so we can be sure that all of these games will be available on launch day. So without further ado, here’s the complete list:

Previously, Namco’s arcade shooter Tank Tank Tank was on the launch day list, but it now appears the game will launch later in 2012. Nevertheless, this is a very strong launch day lineup for the Wii U — one of the best lineups for a new console we’ve ever seen. After the launch, there are several high-profile titles coming in late 2012 and early 2013, including Mass Effect 3, Rayman Legends, and Pikmin 3.
