Confirmed: Final Wii U game boxes revealed
Retailers are starting to list Wii U games on their websites and these images are listed on Amazon.ca and Target. What do you guys think? They’re so high-res it leads me to believe they are final or near-final. They even use the same blue as the new Wii U logo. I kinda like the rounded part at the top, reminds me of the Gamecube boxes:
Update (Thanks to IvarArpe for the heads up!): Looks like these are the real deal as confirmed by Ubisoft on CVG. A Ubisoft spokesperson simply said the designs were ‘legit’. Also of note, Wii U marketing materials have started to arrive at retailers:
Update 2: Quotes from Rich over at IGN with confirmation from Nintendo and also that first-party games will soon be shown in the new boxart, first with just logos, then with the final game art.
Nintendo has confirmed Wii U box art is legit. Get ready for light blue boxes! – Link
Statement in part: “[First party] boxes will appear shortly w/ placeholder logos, and then ultimately with the final artwork for each game.” – Link

@IvarArpe Thanks for the heads up IvarArpe! Just updated the post with the new info. I’m just excited we’re finally seeing some concrete details on packaging and marketing materials. My guess is Nintendo will hold an event in early September to reveal launch lineup, price, release date. Wii price/launch was announced Sep. 14 before its November launch, so we should know everything by then at least.
