[Kyanbu The Legend]

Cause $299 for a current gen console is a little too much.

The Wii U has a release date. Nintendo's console will be released on November 18. It will come in two versions, a Basic and Deluxe set. The Deluxe set will cost you $349 and the basic version will run $299.

As we learned during Nintendo's Japanese press event last night, the Wii U will have 2GB of memory, 1GB for games and 1 GB for system memory. Its discs will have a 25GB capacity and are not Blu-Ray. It will be backwards compatible with the Wii. Additionally, the console will support all Wii accessories straight out of the box.

The Premium bundle will come with a console, a controller, an HDMI cable, power cradles for your Wii U pad, a 32 GB HDD, and a subscription to Nintendo Network Premium which offers 10% discounts on downloadable software, while the Basic bundle will come with just the console, a controller, and an 8GB HDD.

“The wait is almost over — in just 66 days, Wii U will arrive with the strongest lineup of launch software in Nintendo history,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime in a statement. “With the integrated second screen of the included GamePad and features that instantly enhance the way people play games, watch video and interact with each other, consumers will see how Wii U delivers a completely unique experience."

Remember how the 3DS didn't break sale records for Big N? Yeah this might be a repeat of it.

Granted I do know why they choose that price, (the U-Pad is expensive) it's still a bad move since it's only barely stronger then the PS3/360.

And it's games are mostly the same. I hate to say it but Nintendo is going to be joining the ranks of Sega and Atari pretty soon.


What a shame but hey if they do bail out next next gen maybe sega will give the whole hardware thing another go again. It seemed like they learned their lesson from the Saturn and 32X/CD failures.
