Nintendo Wii U - Release date and prices announced.
(1/19) > >>
Blastdown:
Nintendo finally gave out some information, for a few regions. The Wii U will be sold two in bundles, a "Basic Set" and a "Deluxe Set."

Release dates:
NA November 18, 2012
EU November 30, 2012
AU November 30, 2012
JP December 8, 2012


The "Basic Set" starts at $299.99.

(exclusively white)

The "Deluxe Set" starts at $349.99. (I was predicting this price tag!)

(exclusively black)

As for games, I believe NintendoLand and New Super Mario Bros. U were the only confirmed launch titles, however a few websites suggest these will also be day-one launch titles. Also, its games will typically have the $59.99 price tag.

Personally, I'm excited. I'll definitely shell out the extra $50 for the Deluxe version. The only reason I might pre-order is if Pikmin is a day-one launch title (or perhaps AC3). Otherwise, most of these launch title games don't interest me, unfortunately.
MrLoL²:
might buy, i'll see
GenaralSkar:
Can't wait.
ShadowZero:
I hate how Black is a Deluxe only color, I want there to be both colors in Delux and Normal.
Zaxx:
I personaly love the black. Plus it hides the dried up grey sweat you leave on the white.
I'm going to buy the Deluxe New Super Mario Bros. U.
