With the release of Wii Fit U, the Wii U’s launch window officially ends. Yes, technically the generous period ran from launch to March 31, 2013, but since games such as The Wonderful 101, Wii Fit U, and Rayman Legends didn’t make it out until the past month or two, the lovely post-launch period has continued on in our hearts.

That means we can now compare the Wii U’s launch window, which was just shy of a year, to other Nintendo system launch windows. Let’s start, of course, with the Wii U. For the purposes of this article, we’ll only be covering Nintendo-published games.
