Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes believes that Nintendo will launch Wii U this November. The development studio wouldn’t say whether this was an international date, or just North America. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has vaguely stated that the console will be out this holiday season.
“The Wii U will “probably” [sic] be on store shelves this November.”
It better
I put the release between September and November 2012. Likely October or November though. Ubisoft’s E3 documents that were sent to members of the press said that the WiiU version of Assassin’s Creed 3 would release on October 30th with the rest.
Was that an error? Possibly. However, I wouldn’t be surprised. It would give them a bit of a jump on the Holiday season.
I hope so, i dont want to wait too long for AC3 and i dont wana buy it on my ps3, it looks like shit in comparision, look at the comparision videos on youtube, i never knew how much better it was till i saw it, and it was shot off screen unlike the ps3 footage
And whats even funnier is that the WiiU isnt even trying when its pishing out graphics like that.
17th November.
Logical….
It is a fact
I’d imagine it would be around that time, hardware seems pretty final at this point.
Yes, anytime before December I’d say. Maybe just before Thanksgiving would be a good time frame. Damn imagine plenty of food and people in front of the T.V. with the Wii U on. ;)
I dont celebrate Thanksgiving (Im English), but turkey and WiiU sounds incredible
Pretty likely that it will launch in november.
3DS XL FIRST.
Yup… What were you expecting? A shock release in early July?
SPOILERS;)
I was hoping for a early October (really dont want to wait that long for AC3), plus Nintendo could loose alot of potentional customers not launching with AC3, seeing as its the biggest game of the year.
But November is fine, im saving up now, so i’ll be able to use Christmas to buy games rather than the console :p
I love Toki Tori!
Toki Tori > MW3 and BF3 combined
Seems logical but it’s got me thinking. Black Friday anyone? They would have huge day 1 sales. Bigger than all the other 8th generation consoles.
Definitely. Would be a huge opertunity for them.
Plus they would have their stocks back up for December too
Yeah, but good luck. They might have a very limited quatity on hold for that plus I don’t know how many others are thinking the same thing. Maybe software and accesories are good.
I’d rather have it come out next month.
My general opinion that better not go out!
WiiU will be a total failure .. : (((
All canceled games for stronger WiiU, there is the future …
EA Apparently Cancels Wii U Version Of Next-Gen Game

No. Its all non sensical rumours and journelists who say the next ipad would be more powerful than WiiU. Stop posting this dumb article people!
I don’t understand people. Nintendo has been around for how long? They’ve been through some lagging sales and are still able to bounce back with stong numbers and audiences. I trust this one. Why so pessimistic?
Exactly. In fact the Gamcube was the arguably most powerful system of last gen, but ps2 “won” by a landslide, same way the Wii dominated this gen, and that was without large hardcore gamer sales. It’ll tear the market up.
You see? Power isn’t everything and that’s why I would never spend anywhere close to $500 on a system.
Actually, the Xbox was the most powerful of last gen, but the GC still came pretty close.
back then they said the nintendo snes will be a failure and last console for nintendo, oh wait u dont know; see how this is bs.
SNES? You mean Nintendo’s best console? What kind of dumbass would ever said that?
Rumor= Shit nobody gives a fuck about
This isn’t rocket science, it’s a pretty hard rule that any US consumer product release has to happen before Thanksgiving, or else it has to wait until the new year. Basically if you don’t capitalize on post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping, you’re completely wasting the holiday shopping season. So of COURSE the Wii U will launch in November – it’s the latest they can launch, but also the last possible time they can launch.
Its nice to see the News not hating on video games.
Also, the NES came with Mario? And we get Wii Sports for the Wii? -___-
Only some bundles. The base model just came with the console. A few came with Mario, the most notable being one which included the light gun and Duck Hunt and SMB on the same cartridge.
Ahh, fair enough. I hope they have a similar bundle with something like AC3 or Pikmin 3
Haha look at the guy on the left in picture xD
I prefer the other woman that’s often pictured holding the new controller for the original Wii.
I remember her….damn….FIIIIIINE
look the face of the man in the back of the lady xD
I saw that too hahaha hes just like, “what the fuck, a woman!?”
xD yess hahaha
Ijust hope it comes out on thanksgiving week so I can get it on black friday
Hopefully sometime around my birthday then. :3
my thoughts exactly
Only thing is I gotta save up now. I’m guessing around… $400.00 for Wii U + undecided game + tax (sigh… wishful thinking. It’ll cost a little more).
It would be best to get it out in October imo. Give people a month before the holiday shopping season starts to save the money needed and get more info on the product. Leave luck to heaven.
Oh no… Black Friday is gonna suck. Anybody wanna get some bullet-proof vests before you go in? Either way, I’m happy they’ll have at least a year head-start before the others to establish themselves in the market.
