Nintendo has announced the much expected news that New Super Mario Bros U and Nintendo Land will launch with the Wii U when it hits Japan on December 8.

This will be the first time a brand new Mario game (not Super Mario 64 DS) has launched with a Nintendo system since the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo Land has been confirmed to be on sale alongside New Super Mario Bros. U, so that rules out the title being included as a pack-in in Japan. Remember, Wii Sports was not a pack-in title in Japan, so it remains to be seen how the title will be sold overseas.

New Super Mario Bros. U will sell for 6000 yen ($74), while Nintendo Land will adopted a more budget price of 5000 yen ($61).
