Nintendo Planning Wii U Press Event for Sept. 13; Launch Date and Pricing Leaked First

Posted on Tuesday, September 4 @ 08:17:18 Eastern by


Nintendo has been holding out on us, but they're almost ready to announce the final launch details like pricing and game line-up, according to a new rumor.

Kotaku is reporting that Nintendo is holding a press event in NYC on September 13th, hosted by Reggie Fils-Aime, where the firm is likely to announce launch pricing and other details on the Wii U.

While Nintendo hasn't explicitly said that launch details will be revealed, they are promising "more about how the Wii U will change the future of gaming and entertainment". However, traditionally, Nintendo hosts most of their final launch annoucements for upcoming hardware in NYC-based press events. Much like they did with the Wii in September 2006 and the 3DS in January 2011—each event about two months ahead of the actual release date of each product.

In related news, Video Product Distributors—distributor to sites like Amazon and Newegg—has reportedly leaked the Wii U launch date, pricing, and bundle availability ahead of Nintendo's event.

The company's site had the Wii U listed for a November 11th release date, priced at $249.99. It also listed two additional Wii U bundles, but didn't go on to specify what was included in each bundle. One bundle was listed at $299.99, another for $349.99.

    $250 for the standard package? That's not bad at all. Hell, that was the Wii's launch price. I bet the bundles includes another game pad, Wii controllers, or even extra storage space.


    You heard it here first!

    This "leak" doesn't seem very likely to me. Maybe I'm being overly skeptical, but it seems like the kind of place-holder info a store/distributor would put up until the real announcement.

    I guess we'll see on September 13th.

    #1 That guy looks like a complete TOOL in that pic.

    #2 The Wii U is gonna FAIL. The Wii was different because their advertising convinced everyone from grandma to grandpa that it would benefit them. I do give Nintendo props on actually getting old people in senior citizen homes off their rocker to play with Wii - but, I'm 100% sure lightning won't strike twice. Those Wiis are sitting around COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN because NINTENDO SUCKS AT SUPPORTING IT'S PRODUCTS.

    The Nintendo DS, 3DS and 3DS XL are all doing poorly in sales and there are no rushes to get anything anymore. When PS Vita was released and I saw no lines waiting for it, I realized right away one simple fact:

    APPLE OWNS THIS MARKET.

    everyone and they momma is waiting for an iPhone5. Most of em can't even afford it.
