\nNintendo sent out a release today detailing some of their upcoming third party titles planned for the Wii U this year, including several titles from Disney and Ubisoft.<\/p>\n

“Disney, Ubisoft and our other third-party partners have a great lineup of exclusive games and unique experiences for fans of all ages,” said Steve Singer, Nintendo of America’s vice president of Licensing. “Their creativity spans every audience and genre, creating new ways to play that can only be experienced on Nintendo platforms.” <\/p>\n

Disney Interactive is bringing several properties to the Wii U (as well as Wii, DS and 3DS) including Disney’s Planes<\/em>, a flying adventure video game inspired by the upcoming Disney animated film. The title will be a Nintendo exclusive. The game will be available for the Wii U and Wii consoles as well as the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS on August 6th. The film will be released just days later. <\/p>\n

Disney Infinity is also on the way for the Wii U, Wii and Nintendo 3DS and will hit all three systems on August 18th. Players can place real-world toy versions of their favorite Disney characters onto a device called the Infinity Base and transport them into the virtual game worlds of Monsters University, The Incredibles, Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as into a giant Toy Box.<\/p>\n

“Wii U offers our developers unique tools to showcase our fun franchises,” said Javier Ferriera, Senior Vice President, Publishing at Disney Interactive. “No matter which Nintendo system you own, every member of the family will have fun playing.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Disney, Ubisoft has also confirmed several titles for Nintendo Platforms. Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Blacklist will be released on the Wii U on August 20th in North America. The game promises to deliver a unique gaming experience that puts players in the role Sam Fisher. The enhanced game-play will feature using the Wii U GamePad controller to operate innovative gadgets, take out enemies and move through the environment, and intuitively switch between weapons, among other features.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft is also bringing Rayman Legends online for the first time with a new demo, including the full online challenge mode. The online challenge mode will be made up of four levels, including “Murfy’s Dungeon,” exclusive to Wii U.
