Wii-U Price and Release Date Revealed

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Shank

That’s right, the Wii’s successor is almost here, and they’ve finally given us an exact date. Why do I say finally? Because it releases in only two months.

You’ll be able to get your hands on the Nintendo Wii-U on November 18. I recommend getting in line, like, November 15.

Much like the releases of the last generation of consoles, with the Wii strangely notwithstanding, there will be two versions of the Wii-U: First, a basic white version with an 8GB hard drive and a $300 pricetag; and second, a deluxe black version with a 32GB hard drive costing $350.

You can read up on all the features to come with the Wii-U here.

      I want proof! White is supposed to be 1800 kr converted from US and Japan price. I really doubt it's twice as much.

        The last one said 3999kr and 4499kr last night.
        We usually pay around $80 for Wii games compared to $50 in America, so I really don't doubt that this is true. However, the prizes might change. I don't know if they are official prizes or not, but we never have official prizes in Norway anyway…

          Well dude, it sucks sometimes to live in Scandinavia. ;P We don't have any better offers over here.

          • Emhave says:

            "Over here"? Where are you from?

          • naabooru says:

            A neighbour of yours. Sweden. :) I'm on my IntenseDebate now. Don't know why I didn't change my password earlier, but I'm not a friggin' cupcake, that's for sure.

            Also, our prices is around your Norwegian prices. A ZombiU bundle goes for 5000 SEK, a basic for 3500 SEK and a Premium for 4000 SEK. I'd ask for a WiiU to Christmas, but problem is, I need a new computer. So I'll have to wait. =/ Not completely sold on the Wii U though, so I won't be too sad.

      Those prices sound ridiculous. I highly doubt they are true.
      If they are, you'd better import one from somewhere else. Even with shipping fees, you'll be better off by far.

      • GuitarShank says:

        Don't forget added shipping fees for future games needed in specific versions. If that matters.

        I DON"T CARE!!!!!! I"M SO GETTING IT ANYWAY $350 dollars? WORTH IT TO ME!!!!

        • kram1032 says:

          You didn't carefully look what I replied to.
          It was in response to Emhave, who reported doubled prices in Norway.
          To quote him:
          "White version: 4000 kr = $680, Black version: 4500 kr = $760 "
