Nintendo is hosting a midnight launch event for the Wii U at the Nintendo World Store at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime will be on hand, too. Fans waiting in line also receive "premium items" while supplies last, though what those items are exactly have not been detailed.

The Wii U goes on sale November 18.

Since I can't get a WiiU until possibly Xmas, I think I might just play Halo 4 that night.

I'm sorry GI I have the upmost respect you all but this is not news this is just common sense.

And so it begins. Nintendomania will be upon us soon. I'll pick one up some time next year. This holiday season is going to be insane.

No surprise there, after it's released, we will here nothing but Wii U stuff for at least the rest of the month, oh joy. Props to Nintendo, however, not going to get one. Maybe the Wii will drop more in price and I can get one of those. But, until then, I have my PS3 that I am perfectly fine with.

Wish I was up there to go to the midnight release. Oh well, guess I will just go to Game Stop's "early opening" on Sunday the 18th.

My body is ready.

Nice... I'm actually a little bit excited to see this launch and then see its statistics in December. I'm wondering how many units of this will be sold compared to how many units of COD Black Ops 2 will be sold.

This is cool and all but the only place I want to be at 12:01am on Nov 18th is in my living room playing my WiiU.

It's gonna be big. Can't wait to get a Wii U!

Nice, I'll be there. Thought they would do it at Toys R Us again, wonder how long Reggie will hang out there.

I wonder if that means GameStop is going to do the same thing? I would love to get mine late Saturday night, and play all day long.

Should be fun.

If anyone wants to buy me a Deluxe Set, it would be much appreciated XD

My GameStop is having a Midnight opening!But it is no where near going to be as awesome as being at the Nintendo Store!
by Tim Gruver Friday, November 09, 2012 at 08:25 PM

Too late for my sake, but kudos to any that can cherish that blissful night. I'm getting mine on that afternoon, probably (Don't flake out Best Buy!).
