Twitter Reaction: Wii U Pricing, Launch Details

by Andrew Reiner on Sep 13, 2012 at 08:47 AM

A few minutes after Nintendo's press conference concluded, I asked my Twitter followers for their first thoughts on Wii U's pricing and launch details. If you missed the news, the Wii U launches in North America on November 18 with an 8GB model ($299), and a 32GB model ($349). The reaction to the pricing and launch lineup is decidedly mixed, but it seems like everyone agrees that it's great to see Bayonetta getting a sequel.

Listed below is an array of Wii U opinions occurring withing roughly 30 minutes. Say what you will about Twitter, but I think it provides a great look at gamer thoughts on Nintendo's console future. Feel free to post your own two cents in the comments section below.
