    Going to pre-order soon as the price is revealed. Was hell just trying to get a Wii when it came out. Just hope, wait this is nintendo, it doesn't have that much of a mediocre launch line-up.

    Seems like developers putting games on Wii U's eshop gets more revenue than XBL & PSN. Counts for indie games too.

    The Nintendo Wii U might launch on November 18, 2012, if you believe today's rumor. The rumor stems from an announcement from third party controller manufacturer, PDP. They revealed their Wii U accessories would be released on November 18, a Sunday.

    Sunday seems like a weird day to release your new accessories, unless you're Nintendo that is. Nintendo's track record for releasing consoles lends itself to these rumors. They almost always launch products on Sunday. The GameCube was released on November 18 and the Wii was released on November 19, both Sundays. The Nintendo 3DS was released on November 21, which was, you guessed it, a Sunday. It doesn't take too much speculation to figure Nintendo is eying November 18th for the Wii U.

    We won't know the Wii U release date, officially, until Nintendo announces it. They plan on revealing Wii U details at upcoming event on September 13, 2012.

    On a personal note, I've been anti-Wii U since it was announced. All of that changed when I found out my sister doesn't know how to properly turn off the Wii and left it on for weeks. It no longer works. So where will I be on November 17th? I'll be in line at City Walk for the Wii U, just like I was years ago for the Wii. I'm a Nintendo-sheep.

    more on that

    Nintendo’s brand new console, the Wii U, will hit shelves on November 18, according to a post on Kotaku today. The post cites an anonymous source claiming to have attended the GameStop managers’ conference in Texas today, where accessory-maker PDP slipped the date into a presentation in which they assured the gathered managers that their Wii U peripherals would be available just ahead of the date.

    The source added:

    “They changed the subject real quickly once they realized what they said.”
    By way of corroboration, the Kotaku post also points to a NeoGAF user making the same claims.

    The post received responses from both PDP and Nintendo spokespeople, neither of whom could confirm the date, which is officially still under wraps.

    Said PDP community manager Candace Hinton:

    “At this time we can’t confirm Nintendo’s dates and we don’t know exactly what was heard, but we simply do not know that this point. We are launching accessories, but the date for the accessories doesn’t mean a confirmation on the hardware. If you seek confirmation on the date that is something that is going to need to go specifically though Nintendo, but we can’t confirm or deny dates on any of their hardware.”
    Nintendo’s own response was far more succinct:

    “We have nothing to announce at this time.”
    As the post also insightfully points out, November 18 is the last Sunday before Thanksgiving weekend, which holds the unofficial American shopping holiday, Black Friday. Add to that the fact that Nintendo’s been making a habit of releasing new products on Sunday (while the rest of the industry is content with Tuesday releases), and there you have it. As for when the release date will be officially unveiled, expect to get both date and price at Nintendo’s New York press conference on September 13.

    ZombiU def looks like a nice launch title to have. Enough zombie games as it is, but need something with replay value during launch.

    They better have a Pokemon coliseum game in the pipeline. I will be massively disappointed if there isn't one announced within a few months of launch.

    Naw, screw colosseum games, they were terrible.
    Pokemon needs to get out of the downward same shit as all the previous renditions bs mario is going through.

    Handheld pokemon is fun, but it's pretty stagnant. Just think about a full fledged pokemon game alla Xenoblade style. The graphic upgrade to console would be amazing within itself, but to incorporate a vast world along with it, side quests out the ass, indepth story, etc..

    I mean, I guess really.. It just comes down wanting them to put a little bit of effort in to a new game instead of reusing old sprites and engines.

    Take that first step in to a console, and then go the MMO route. Gameover.

    The Coliseum games only sucked if you cared about the story. I have news for you: If you're playing a Pokemon game for the story, you're doing it wrong.

    The Coliseum games are awesome because of 3d battles against friends on the big screen. Raise your team on your handheld, battle on the console. It's fun.

    Got to try the PAX demo of ZombiU today. I was throughly unimpressed. Controls were clunky (and incredibly laggy) and the tablet felt like massive gimmick.

    lol. So play one game that is still in development and say the whole system is a gimmick? Way to have an open mind.

    I also got my hands on Scribblenauts, Rayman and Trine 2. Its a gimmick with laggy controls.

    pro controller was made because 3rd parties demanded it. played multiple games on it and I just don't see the lasting value of it outside of maps/etc. most of it is a gimmick.
