Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has confirmed that the company will roll out the Wii U across the US, Europe, Australia and Japan before the end of the year. Nintendo wouldn’t say exactly when we can expect the Wii U, but we know it will be available sometime after this years E3 event in June.
I hope the Wii U launches first in North America like the Wii and original DS :)
No… Europe first :’D
We’ll see about that lol
AUSTRALIA, NIGGAZ.
YEAH Go Australia
ANTARCTICA!!!
I’m European, but I would not mind Australia getting it first since you guys always get screwed over (prices, release dates, etc…)
Yes >:D The hope is the last thing that leaves the human… But I would be ok with you being first :) As long as Wii U is released this year ^^
Everywhere on the same day….. hahahaha nz first
Same day everywhere would be boss! Then everyone could blog their first Wii U day at the same day :’D
That would be AWESOME :D
If every nation releases on the same date, New Zealand would get it first. That’s what he’s saying.
dat wud be boss lah.
In all fairness it will come out in Europe first it always does
YES. Europe first! This is actually very likely, considering how awesome NoE has gotten in the last few years!
I doubt it’s NoE’s decision, I think when it comes to a console launch, the decision of where it launches first belongs to Nintendo of Japan.
Definatly Europe before america
the Wii sold better here and all the americans seem to care about is the xbox
bring the Wii U to Europe first and the games
cause we dont bitch about the difficulty and let everyone else get crappy dubbed down versions :P
Your wrong
Wii has a largest install base in all region. I have proof that Wii is more popular than 360. Just Dance 3 sold 7.1 million on Wii but Kinect is sold 1.4million. 360 Install base is still behind about 6million.
Just Dance 3 Wii = 7.1million and Kinect= 1.4 shows it.
Although over here only does care about 360. Most people in my school plays 360.
Europe got RE Revelations first, it’s America’s turn to be first you bastard!!
:D
Oh Shit WWIII Started on Nintendo news site over Wii U launch date CONFIRMED! LOL
P.S. AMERICA F*CK YEAH!
Nintendo! F**k Yeah!
Internet! F**k Yeah!
Vita! (murmerings)
WiiU Launch! F**k Yeah!
Console Gaming! Fuck yeah!
Give Australia something first :D
Unlikely I’m afraid… But where’s Africa? D’: They also need a Wii U =(
and middle east
Lot’s of middle eastern countries get consoles, especially UAE, who is usually first of the middle east.
You guys got Pikmin 2 New Play Control and we here in America didn’t D: be happy about that!
Yer Pikmin 2 was the bomb :D but still id really like an early console release for places that don’t get them :o
If they do I’m gonna stab a Kangaroo!
How about All REGION AT THE SAME TIME!!
Think about when it launch and New Super Mario Bros Mii is a actual game and launch game. Wii U will SELL HOTCAKES!! It will sell 5 million first day.
I hope it doesn’t lunch in NA at all…
WTF are you talking about… instead of asking for a global lunch on the same day, you act like a small child. “I want first, I want first!!!!”.
What is your problem? I would be all for a global launch, what i would hate is it launching somewhere else and then having to wait about a month for the NA release.
Actually, more than just one month would piss me off.
C’mon USA!!!!! will there be a game with it? Like maybe a new Mario or Wii Sports Resort?(which I LOVE).
If all this power they are putting in the wii U is just for FPS games i’m gonna be ticked off.
SCREW IT ALL! We will release the Wii U in Antarctica first!
Sweet :D Then we know it will be released 2012! :’D
1st
Nope, 3rd ;)
nv :)
theres a fail somewhere in there, but i’ll leave it up to u guys to decide…
:) having a small penis is nothing to be ashamed about, and its only a failed penis if you believe… that its a failed penis.
:) so chin up.
Well the only fail I see is that they said Wii U will be roll out before of the end of the year, it should be before the end of the world! is the only fail I can think of
America first like always of course :)
Nonono… Europe first! We was given Skyward Sword first… I start to see a pattern ;)
yes but the gamecube and wii was released in america first
when it comes to home consoles, NoA is always first :)
Japan was first with GameCube http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamecube the original DS was the first console launched first in America, Wii was second.
Do you mean America as the WHOLE continent or do you really think America is the US?
First!
For each failed first your penis size decrease by 1 inch…
haha you sir are a genius
Win
I’d be so happy if they’d make a “and guess what – you’ll be able to get all this NEXT MONTH!”-like launch announcment. Can’t wait much longer!!
Isnt this why the dreamcast had a poor launch date??
It’d be nice if Nintendo pulled a Steve Jobs during E3 saying, “When does it launch? Launches today’
Kind of old news, eh?
No. Nintendo’ve never confirmed that would be the case. They’ve only said that it would probably be that way.
I have a feeling Australia will get it first
Please be true :D
We will be second (after NZ) if a universal date is set. For major cities of course.
When has that EVER happened for a Nintendo console? When has it ever happened for ANY console, actually?
and here i thought we already new it was coming out this year…
it was only confirmed that the japan release would be released this year, but now we know it’s an international release :3.
okay… but i thought i saw a video of Reggie saying it was coming out here after e3… But i guess he could have just meant in Japan.
They should do a International release for all countries :D even though that’s probably not going to happen.
Iwata said it would be released in the holiday season according to this site.
http://wii.ds-scene.net/?s=viewtopic&nid=9462
What i think that site MIGHT be a rumor
YESSS AUSTRALIA IS INCLUDED!!!!
North America will probably get the Wii U first to test sales. That is how its always been.
Nope, Eurpe first.
I’m not getting one, I love Nintendo but this console looks stupid as hell. Personally I think it’ll be a major commercial failure. Sorry Nintendo but you know it’s true, no matter how well you try to sell this ship it’s gonna sink.
Wait, THIS is where you draw the line? The GameCube and Wii were way more oddball and risky than this.
Huh, I swear I’ve heard people say the exact same thing about every console Nintendo have ever released.
Your going to be that guy looking for one all 2013, and the console WON’T look like this, the controller WON’T look like this. Everything we saw last e3 was just a rough idea, even the zelda zelda demo lack AA. The system will get 3rd party games, its even rumored that the reason grand theft auto V got pushed to 2013 was because they went ahead and started a WII U version. I mean of ALL nintendo consoles to doubt, you choose the ONE with the most potential.
i need a wealth of good launch games, a reasonable price, and cool features to gurantee me to get one.
all i know is that im not going to sit outside for this thing ill pre order it most def
i hope the states gets it last, that way all other regions can beta test them and Nintendo works outs the kinks and bugs before it releases here.
Come on September release.
This really isn’t news. We already knew this.
Tsk Tsk! Ninty Still no Asian Neighbors huh…….
I don’t care if Japan, Europe, or North America releases the U first, The U Bomb will make an incredibly huge impact around the world!!!!!!
I’m really hoping it will be released right after E3, doubt it though
i cants waits cos here in greece dah wii 1 is about toos release only a fews years behinds.
That means everybody will get it at christmas.

5 months…….. :(
Bleh, this looks horrible.
GTFO troll!!!!!!! You don’t belong here!
More importantly than a global Wii U launch is perhaps when it’s launching, which is during the year-end holiday shopping season.
I’m not sure why people always assumed or thought that Wii U would launch in June or July. Nintendo’s last couple consoles launched in November, and it’s worked for them. I see another November launch for the Wii U as well, right before the busy and lucrative Black Friday.
My guess would be November 18th launch date for Wii U in the U.S.
shit i should start saving money!
I think Japan will be first because Nintendo is a Japanese gaming company but I want to know what the price for one is
They really are giving us Wii U news at a slow trickle before E3 this year.
Yes!!! 2012 is the best year ever!
Nintendo’s Wii U could be getting a new name, though it is confirmed to launch before the holidays this year either way. so we might be getting a September launch
