Nintendo's next console will launch in North America on November 18 this year, 66 days from now.
It will be available as a "Basic Set" in white with the Wii U, Wii U Gamepad, AC Adapter for each, HDMI cable, and sensor bar for $299.99. The basic Wii U will have 8 GB of internal storage. There will also be a "Deluxe Set" for $349.99 including all items in the Basic Set in black, 32 GB storage, a GamePad charger, a stand for gamepad and console, and NintendoLand included. Deluxe Set buyers get enrolled in the Deluxe Digital Promotion, with points awarded for digital purchases, for use to buy more digital content.
There will be no Wii Remotes or Nunchuks packed in as there are already so many of them out there, but Wii U-branded remotes will be appearing on store shelves.
The news comes as part of the US Nintendo Direct conference going on as of writing. Stay tuned for more information coming soon!
Deluxe Black edition for me.Utterly shocking!
I will place my pre-order asap.
Went at lunch to try and preorder from my local Gamestop. They are not taking pre-orders until tomorrow (just got an amil confirming that).I'm going to be waiting to see if Amazon gets preorders. I really don't want to deal with retail.
Guy said I was about the 50th person to ask. Yikes! If they only get, say, 6 to 12 in at launch and I am not soon enough on the preorder list, I could be hooped.
I don't want to camp outside a Toys R Us. I really don't

I like Amazon and will get launch day delivery for no extra charge because I have Prime. Much rather do that.

Or just buy online from any store (Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc.). You still won't have to go to the store and wait outside.
That's racist. ...I went black, too.Deluxe Black edition for me.Utterly shocking!

Once you go racist, you have to buy a deluxe black Wii U?That's racist. ...I went black, too.Deluxe Black edition for me.Utterly shocking!

You know what they say... ;)
Once you go black, you go deaf.Bingo.
Who takes preorders besides Gamestop? I'm looking for a midnight launch.
Who exactly does Nintendo expect to buy the White version? I wanted a White Wii U but the Deluxe bundle simply has way too many ridiculous savings and extras that I can't for the life of me bring myself to NOT pre-order the black version!
The sad thing is you just know a large chunk of these preorders are from people who are just going to resell them on ebay for like $1,500 (or whatever).
