Wii U launches November 18th in America, $299 for Basic Set, $349 Premium
Nintendo of America has revealed at their Wii U event in New York City the Wii U launch price and date. That date is November 18th, right before the biggest shopping period of the year for the US, nice. Like Japan, the Wii U will come in two configurations, the Basic Set and the Premium Set however the bundles are slightly different between the regions.
The basic set will set you back $249.99US and comes with 8GB of storage in the console. The bundle includes a HDMI cable, chargers for the GamePad and console (of course) and a Wii U Deluxe Set will set you back $349.99US and comes with a fair bit more.
First off you’ll get a copy of Nintendo Land, something that Japan didn’t get in the same bundle. Included in the box is a Wii U with 32GB of internal storage, a Wii U GamePad Cradle (for charging), Wii U GamePad Stand (for just holding it) and a stand for the Wii to stand upright. There’s also all the chargers, HDMI cable and a Wii Sensor bar included.
The bad news though is that apart from Nintendoland, Reggie didn’t want to announce release dates for most games.
SEXY!!! I’m going to pre-order the deluxe one today!
