Coming Attractions: Fall 2013 Video Games

• September
• The Wonderful 101
• Out Now!
• Strategic action game about controlling up to 100 super heroes at once much like Pikmin in a Pikmin game or like the armies in Little Kings Story
• I've heard this is very difficult, so I'm probably going to put it on the end of my list for now
• October
• LEGO Marvel Super Heroes
• October 18th
• A TT Games LEGO game with Marvel super heroes
• I have yet to be disappointed by a Lego game and they have only gotten better after each one
• Sonic Lost World
• October 22nd
• A Super Mario Galaxy-style game involving Sonic and his universe
• This looks like it will be pretty fun with even more Gamepad cooperative gameplay like Rayman Legends and Super Luigi U
• Batman: Arkham Origins
• October 25th
• The prequel to the two previous Batman: Arkham games
• Although this is developed by a different company, I still am hoping that this will be a quality adventure with a lot of detail and uniqueness for each of the villains.  I hope this game does justice to the other two and isn't just a quick cash grab
• Wii Party U
• October 25th
• A Wii U mini-game party game akin to Mario Party, but with Miis
• Honestly, I'm getting this for two reasons: It comes with a motion plus Wiimote and so far the Wii U has been a really good party system for my house on game nights with Nintendo Land, Super Luigi U, and Rayman Legends
• Assasssin's Creed 4: Black Flag
• October 29th
• The fourth assassin ancestor of Desmond (I think it's the sixth main game in the series?) involving pirates and of course, assassins
• I'm really hoping they utilize the Gamepad in some unique way, but even if it's just a more convenient map, it'll still be worth me purchasing it on the Wii U in my opinion
• November
• Watch Dogs
• November 19th
• Open world hacking game.  I don't know too much about the game because the short trailer a saw impressed me enough to convince me that I want it, so I stopped paying attention to anything about it (how I normally treat anything I am already convinced I want to buy)
• Just like AC4, I'm hoping they make good use of the Gamepad and that there are a plethora of ways to hack through any given situation
• The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
• November 22nd
• A 3DS Legend of Zelda game that's essentially a successor to Link to the Past, which was my absolute favorite Zelda game ever
• I hope the Overworld and Dark world is as vast and filled with as many little secrets as the SNES game
• Super Mario World 3D
• November 22nd
• A sequel to the 3DS's Mario Land 3D, but adding in multiplayers and different character abilities like in Super Mario Bros. 2 (at least as far as I understand it)
• Whether I end up playing it alone or with friends, Mario Land 3D was one of my favorite recent Mario games, so more games in this style excite me
• Undetermined
• Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies
• The fifth entry in the Phoenix Wright series of defense attorney detective/puzzle gameplay
• I've only recently gone back and started playing the Phoenix Wright games, but they are definitely right up my alley: grand mysteries, awesome plot twists, and puzzle gameplay.  Essentially each one is an interactive story that reminds me of the Two Minute Mysteries I used to read as a kid
