Nintendo Wii U to release on November 18 for $300-350 in the US

An announcement made just 2 months before it comes out. Enough time to get hype? What about the launch line up?

Nintendo announced today that the Wii U will be available in US on November 18 (only a week before black Friday???). The "basic" version would be the white console with 8GB of storage for $299.99, while the "Deluxe" is the black version with 32GB of storage for $349.99.

They also announced a new feature called TVii (no idea how to pronounce that)

We also learned today that Nintendo will be publishing Bayonetta 2 as a Wii U exclusive.

What do you think? Is this a definite pre-order or a pass? Will the Bayonetta news influence your decision?

FYI - The 32GB "Deluxe" version also comes with a copy of Nintendo Land.

I know you're excited about that... but at least it makes the $50 price difference easier to swallow.

Fuck! I knew they would pull this two SKU BS. No way I would buy the white one, but $350 for only 32gb did Nintendo not learn there lesson with the Wii's limited storage??

Disappointing about the Bayonetta exclusivity, but one game isn't going to make me budge.

It can take an SD card if you need more space. But that's more money.

When can I get my 3TB HDD to work I'll buy one. Until then I will have to pass. Nintendo is known for releasing 400 different versions of their systems.

Why is the difference in price memory? I can't wait for the release of this to see how the market reacts.

I can't believe it's not about the games anymore. I got halfway thru that first video and no games?! Then you got this Bayonetta trailer (CG) and Nintendo is publishing that now? Not that big of a deal.

I still need Pikmin and Project P-100, so I'm pre-ordering!

I don't know wtf they were thinking with Bayonetta 2, but I picked the first one up in June and it's still in the bag. No way am I wasting money on the Wii U.
