Wii U Press Event May Reveal Release Date And Price

Nintendo is holding a press event for the upcoming Wii U next month in New York, and Nintendo may take the opportunity to announce some long sought after details about the system. Nintendo used a similar New York press event to announce the North American release date of the 3DS, so it's fair to assume that this event may be serving the same purpose.

The event will happen on September 13 at 10 a.m. EST and it will be hosted by Nintendo of America president and COO, Reggie Fils-Aime. It's going to be a six hour event, so there will likely be games to check out as well. You can be sure we will let you know all the details as they happen on Thursday, September 13.

  • Good. I was starting to worry when it would release.

  • Lets hope the WiiU doesn't exceed $400... I'm super stoked for it, but if it's over that I might not be able to get it opening day D:... I'm just hoping for Late November-Early December... LONG LIVE THE PIKMIN!!!

    Edit: And how could I have forgotten about ZombiU and Rayman: Legends?
  • Can't wait! :D Day one buy for me!
  • Finally. I need to know how much money to set aside. I don't want to be as late to the game as I was with the Wii.

  • I'll pay 300 for Wii U, hopefully there is some kind of pack in...
  • It's pretty ridiculous for a release date and price point to not have been announced at E3. I really think they're shooting themselves in the foot with this.
  • November 18th

  • Finally!!!

  • Finally we can settle what this bad boy is gonna cost!

  • 299$ - 349$ ia what I am guessing for a price-range.
  • Sounds good.

  • This will be make or break time, I know my sale hinges on if this goes well.

  • My guess is Sometime in December, at the cost of 300.
  • I don't care how much the Wii U is gonna cost. I am gonna get it on its debut day! Well... if it's too expensive then I will wait for a price day.
  • If they do announce it, then it's about time! Either way I'm still waiting a while to get mine (at least a year or two), after any bugs and defects are all worked out.

  • I'm calling it now: $249.99
  • I hope they finally announce it! If they are still releasing this year, november is fast approaching.  Also I want to hear what the retro game is

  • Big Whoop.

  • Nice. It's getting pretty close to the holidays now, so it'd be nice to get a release date and price for it...
