Editorial: Where’s my Wii U Release Date and Price?!

This is not the angry rant you’re looking for. Instead it’s a calming soothing article, you won’t get many of these out of me per year so listen up!

People are getting understandably antsy about the Wii U price and release date, to save some stress I went back into the archive to look when Nintendo announced the Wii date and price. The last system to be released at Christmas.

Nintendo announced the Japanese launch details on September 6th, Nintendo Australia and Europe did it 10 days later on the 15th. The release dates were the 2nd of December for Japan and the 6th and 7th of December for Europe and Australia.

So if history is anything to go by there’s under a month until we find out how much it costs and when we can get our hands on it! Then again it is 2012, things have changed. Our prediction, once Nintendo clears the release decks with the 3DS XL and New Super Mario Bros. 2 we’ll hear something out of Nintendo. It might be a Nintendo Direct but we think it’ll be a big conference.

Go play some games for a month, then come back. Not long now.
