Nintendo today has released their usual quarterly press release detailing launch dates for many upcoming games for Wii U, 3DS, DS and Wii. In normal fashion, some games finally get an exact date while some remain ambiguous. Unfortunately, the Wii U’s Q1 lineup is a bit weak but at least backed by some strong exclusives like Rayman Legends, Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate and Lego City: Undercover. One noticeable announcement that came out of this press release is the eShop-exclusive release of Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2, which before was only announced for Japan and Europe.

With the exception of Pandora’s Tower’s vague Spring release, this list only focuses on titles that release between now and April, which means we can assume that other big titles like Pikmin 3 and Bayonetta 2 are not going to launch until May at the very earliest.
