Hey guys. A few things have been announced for the Wii U this week in regards to launch info.

First off the Wii U will launch with two SKU's and in

United States: Nov. 18, 2012 for $299 or $349

Europe: Nov. 30, 2012 for £249 or £299 (though I think it's up to the store what they want to charge)

Japan: Dec. 8, 2012 for 26,250 Yen or 31,500 Yen

The cheaper SKU is white and comes with 8GB of storage, one white GamePad, AC adapters for console and controller, sensor bar, and an HDMI cable.

The more expensive SKU is black with 32GB of storage, comes with everything the cheaper one has (black GamePad though), and also has Nintendo Land bundled, console stand, GamePad charging cradle, and GamePad stand.

They announced a new feature for the GamePad called Nintendo TVii (lol). It's like a TV channel UI thing where you are able change channels, record with Tivo, and many other things.

To be honest I'm really excited about what Nintendo's doing. I know it may worry some that they are starting to add some non-game type features, but I feel they have a strong launch lineup to back it up. Personally I'm a little on the fence about buying one right away. I feel a little sad that they are basically forcing us to buy the more expensive version. I mean it's a great deal considering that it comes with a $60 game and 24GB's more of storage. So it's like a no brainier to get the more costly one.

I might wait it out until it comes out to see if there's any issues with it, and see what everyone thinks. Also it wouldn't hurt to wait until I get some Christmas money. :P
