See Call of Duty, Rayman, Mario, Pikmin and More Running on Wii U

Nintendo want to entice you to be one of the first to grab hold of the new Wii U console with a two minute sizzling trailer.

Whilst the new system can message friends, stream TV and surf the web, at its core the Wii U is all about the games and that's what Nintendo showed off today.

The montage, shown during the Nintendo Direct briefing earlier today, includes a look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Rayman Legends, Fifa 13, Epic Mickey 2, Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros. U, Lego City: Undercover and Pikmin 3.

All these titles, plus various others, will be available to pick up during the launch period (first 4/5 months or so) and beyond.
