I guess Pikmin 3 will do for now

Good spot, it doesn’t seem to be in the EU or JP launches.

Decent line up. But, like everyone else, I wonder what games are this holiday and what ones are late winter/early spring.
Any idea if there is a digital list of games? I assume that these are all retail boxes.

With the exception of Bayonetta 2, it’s a shitty lineup. That is a big one, though, as long as it remains exclusive.
