An anonymous tipster from an Australian retailer told Kotaku that the Wii U will be released in Australia on Thursday, December 6th. Because of the Wii shortages that were prevalent when the console debut in 2006, Nintendo is apparently making sure that anyone who pre-orders a Wii U from EB Games will get it at launch. For the sake of comparison, the Wii was released on Thursday, December 7th, 2006, in Australia.
Pretty cool thing for Nintendo to do.
You sir have bad taste in music
what does music have to do with the wii u or australia!!!
I doubt it, it’ll probably be released late December 2012 or early January 2013.
here in brazil in 2013 ¬¬ and price 2000+R$
I can’t believe I moan about a week delay
:( at least it’s not Korea
I live in Brazil too, but I’ll order my from U.S.
Faster and cheaper. =)
Here in Costa Rica maybe november or december 2012 —> $600 T_T
Same here in Panama.
is not better in Mexico :(
USA USA
Pero es mas barato aún que en Costa Rica :(
In Colombia, we usually get it the same day as the US, but for like double the price.
Pero es mas barato aún que en Costa Rica :(, me gustaría al menos saber la fecha para comenzar a ahorrar. No creo que sea barato.
When I glanced at this post, I first read it as “An anonymous hipster”…
EB Games? lol we dont have that here in the states anymore.
WUUUUT?!
Australia won’t get fucked over?
Its the Sign of the Apocalypse!
No, but seriously, even though I’m not Australian, I’m surprised about how much they get fucked over.
it’s ok we got xenoblade at the proper time
And monster hunter tri
that’s a really cool Wii U box IMO, I hope the real thing looks something like that
i was gonna post the same thing you beat me too it lol!!
I’m getting a Black one!
is this the oficial box?
no look at the controller.
i like the box, but the controller…
U don’t like the controller Master?
Let mii tell off the people at Nintendo for using this disgusting image

You do know that isn’t me, right?
Huh, that’s my birthday. :o That would be pretty cool if it came out the same day in America, although it’s really unlikely. Maybe mid or late November.
to be release in November is bad? D:
LOL you dumbass wiitards !! It says “anonymous tipster” ..and LOL this console is gay !! And a big waste of money ..u nintenfags buy everything Nintendo shits out
Nobody reply to this guy he will stop eventualy
…..Well that’s what a fanboy normally would do yes … hate to state the obvious … I won’t be getting it though, doesn’t interest me, I prefer Nintendo Handhelds. PS4 is the one I’m waiting on.
I feel bad for people like Ness, he about gets damn near a heart attack when ever he hears that name “Nintendo”.
It’s weird too … he hates Nintendo so much yet he has Ness as his name … even if it was his real name you think he would at least create an alias …. What a confusing child.
Ness is an actualy real name
vaNESSa. Short for Vanessa guys. Life is not always about games. welcome to reality…
Did you at all read the part when I said:
“even if it was his real name you think he would at least create an alias”
You know … to avoid situations like this? Shit Aeolus, can you even read?
oh in that case
rest in hell ness
2012-2012
At least USA and Japan will launch the Wii U this November (18th is a very strong possibility).
screw amarica and japan! i want it in australia at the same time!! wahh
I feel your pain Australia. South Africa also gets stuff late.
NO!!!! I live in Australia and we should get it at the same time too. Ive planned to be one of the first people to make an unboxing video of it and upload it to YouTube and if this is true then my plan failed. I also just want the Wii U really badly.
It’s ok I live in New Zealand and i have to say that you are better off than us the prices of games and consoles are much lower there and apart from the not over 18 game law it is better to be there for gaming
But then I wouldn’t be able to play CoD D: (trololol)
Whenever i meet a pretty girl i look for intelligance because if she doesnt have that shes mines
These are the disadvantages of living in Australia
oh, and Gilbert Gottfreid, ghetto enough to rape some white folks, why are stupid enough to put ur name on the internet, now we can come and rape you!
Sick of “anonymous tipsters”. I’ll only listen if Iwata or Reggie say when its out
Or a company press release. Though I’m sure one of the two will announce it verbally either through a Nintendo Direct (in which case both could do it in their respective territories) or some press event like last year’s 3DS Conference.

Because Kotaku was so reliable lately.
Or you can just wait till Nintendo gives a fuckin release date damn I’m so tired of these speculations
I higly doubt that pic is the Wii U casing itself. It will probably look more like the Wii U pics on top of the page.
Just baby (wii u ) come by december and i will treat you nice, with a nice moaning! :)
Aww hell yeah!
Love the box art
Pretty decent, if thats the case then people living in UK and Europe might get it a week later.
I’ll travel to New York and I’ll get mine at the Nintendo World Store (Rockefeller Center)
