A lot of games have been announced for the Wii U, but there are still many rumored games that have not been announced. Here's list of games that may, or may not, come out for the Wii U, including those made up entirely of rumors and those that have been announced but which I’m skeptical about due to a lack of hard information or very distant release date.

Metal Gear Solid
Definite? No.
What we know: Kojima Productions, who develop the MGS games, “definitely have things in mind [for the Wii U],” although they sound like they want to wait and see if the console is successful before jumping in. So whatever they may do, don’t expect anything anytime soon.
