Nintendo of Japan has announced that Wii U will be available to purchase on December 8th. The console will set Japanese consumers back 31,500 yen (£250) for the Premium 32GB premium version. The basic Home Type version will set you back 26,250 yen (£210). You also get 2 years Nintendo Network Premium (10% discount on downloadable software) with the Premium 32GB console..
First!!!!!!
How original. Even ‘first!!! I like tuna’ would be more creative.
Youre not first until you take my penis out of your butt.
…funk
This has me worried for the US release date. That Thanksgiving week is a pivotal one…
I feel the same way.
Not for Japan though. So they can hold it a bit longer. This shouldn’t be worrying you at all, honestly. It was the same with the Wii.
It’ll be out in November in America for sure.
The Wii came out in NA on Nov. 19. In Japan on Dec. 2 or 9.
Very true. I was just fact-checking and was pleased to come across this bit. Thanks!
Pretty much like I was expecting.
YAY
Nintendo got smarter
Will US accually get a system before Japan for once? Hopefully or hopefully the US date is very close. Thats super close to the holiday season, alot of parents do there shopping even before the month of dec. Hmmm
We got the Wii before Japan, bromide.
it’s really disappointing i was expecting much more earlier than that.
in japan
in japan
IN JAPAN
^^This^^
Well that’s the release date in Japan only.
i am not in the usa so i can worry about that.nintendo definetly release it at november in america but in europe it will be a little bit later.
Hmmm… Maybe they’ll release it in late November.
i hope so but they’ve never done that before.japan always gets consoles before us.
Actually, the Wii was released in USA before Japan so don’t worry
if its more than 450 aud I’m going to be annoyed. better than the 598aud one store was saying
In this way, if rumors are confirmed, the first to receive the WiiU will be the US, since sources claim that Nintendo is planning to release it at some point around middle November (probably on the 11th) in order to take advantage of Black Friday (that will be on November 23th).
But it sounds very strange, since Japan is usually the first to receive Nintendo’s releases.
Are we about to see a tradition being broken?
NA got Wii first. Australia got NSMBW first.
there’s probably more.
Interesting… I really didn’t know that…
Its an amazing price . its shit about the launch day though , i want this fucking thing in NOVEMBER. USA GETS NOVEMBER AND EUROPE GETS DECEMBER :@.
Lol you wanted it in october. U mad bro? Tolled you wasent coming that early :P
This could be very different for north America. But I wait and see.
So the black Wii U is the Premium version? O.o
*Wondering if the Wii U will launch around the same time as the Wii with a price of $300 in America*
I DON’T
EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN WITH YOU.
SEXYNESS in the price!!!!
still expecting November
Let’s hope the U comes out in November here in North America.

£250 for the premium Wii U, that’s an awesome price I think.
I agree, if Nintendo doesn’t completely mess up the exchange rates like they did with the 3DS launch, day one buy for me along with Pikmin 3.
I’m gonna wait a year and see if there are better bundles released in the future.

… Why so cheap? -.-
I’m guessing a simulations global launch of December 8th now, that is the latest it could ever be to get a good amount of Christmas shoppers.
400 dollars are you freaking kidding me? no thank you nintendo im shocked after you said we’d be suprised at the price yeah im suprised. not a day 1 buy for me
Relax, will ya? Nintendo haven’t announced the price of the Wii U in America until 10:00am EDT this morning. If I were you, be patient.
That sounds like the basic will be $349 and the premium will be $399 in the Americas. Not too bad. I want the premium. ;)
What’s the US release date?! And your conversion seems wrong. I converted it and it’s 314.85 euro and over 400 usd
I knew they were going to release in December in Japan. They did the same thing with the Wii.
