Wii U Relase Date & Prices announced!
Nintendo's upcoming Wii U gaming console will be priced at $300 8GB basic and up to $350 for 32GB Deluze and go on
sale in the U.S. on Nov. 18, in time for the holidays, the company said
Thursday.
Nintendo has been trying to drum up excitement for the Wii U, which is the first major gaming console to launch since 2006. The device has a touch-screen controller called the Wii U GamePad. It also plays games made for the original Wii.
Nintendo said the latest game in its wildly popular Mario franchise, "New Super Mario Bros. U," will be available when the new console launches. It will include new ways to play that use the GamePad. It will also offer new challenges for advanced Mario players, such as trying to complete a level without touching the ground. "Mario" and other classic games have long been Nintendo's main draw.
The company also announced new entertainment features
for the console. Called "Nintendo TVii," the service collects all the
ways users have to watch movies, TV shows and sports. This includes
pay-TV accounts along with services such as Hulu and Netflix. The
GamePad works as a fancy remote controller and will let viewers browse
shows they can watch.
The service also captures scenes from live TV and displays them on the controller. Viewers can then comment on the scenes and share that on Twitter or Facebook if they want. With this feature, Nintendo is playing into what many people already do while they watch TV — comment and share things with friends using a second screen such as a smartphone, hoping to harness the power of social media. TVii will be available Nov. 18 as well, at no extra cost.
Among the games available on the Wii U will be Activision Blizzard Inc.'s "Call of Duty Black Ops II." The "Call of Duty" games have been holiday best-sellers for the past several years.
Watch for this console on Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and many more!

Ticked about Mario Kart 7
Looks like Nintendo put some nice new features in Mario Kart 7 and looks like a great game, but I am bitter that it is not available for the Wii and they will not release more then one Mario Kart per gaming system.
I am not getting a 3DS just to play the new Kart, how about the rest of you?
Not sure I will get a Wii U either.
