There it is. Nintendo has finally revealed the release date and price for the Wii U for US and Europe. The Wii U hits North America on November 18 and November 30 for Europe. Check out more details below.
No announcement yet on the European price for the Wii U.
Here are the details of the two sets available on release.
Deluxe Set - $349.99 ( Will also be bundled with Nintendo Land)
Basic Set - $299.99
Pretty decent price. Was hoping like around $250, but this will do for a new console. Now if Nintendo could announce more exclusive titles....
Quick post. Nintendo just announced Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate for the Wii U and 3DS. Don't know about you guys, but that's a pretty strong incentive right there to consider Nintendo's new console. I've always wanted Monster Hunter to hit consoles.
Nintendo has just announced Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U. That's not the shocker in this reveal, this sequel is actually an exclusive title for the Wii U. During the reveal, a short trailer was shown. Trailer is not up yet thought. We will keep this updated when more info about Bayonetta 2 comes in.
During Evo 2012, NetherRealm Studios(Mortal Kombat 9) presented their new game Injustice: Gods Among Us to the Fighting Game Community with 15 minutes of gameplay. They showcased how each stage in the game will have multiple levels, destructible environments, and objects that players can use to inflict damage. Aside from that, the game looks and feels a lot like Mortal Kombat with DC characters, which is not a bad thing at all.
Funny how when I first saw this game my first thought was Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe. DC fighting games got bad rep thanks to that game, but it looks like Injustice is coming to change that.
It still looks like a cool game to play with friends and the visuals look amazing for a fighting game. NetherRealms did a great job with the latest Mortal Kombat so I'm anxious to see if they can bring yet another great fighting game to the table. The whole destructible environments and multiple stages are appealing but it could be ignored in the end. It could come out as a waste of time to interact with these objects.
Injustice: Gods Among Us comes out next year for Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
Yea, thinking the same thing - Horrible title, but believe it or not, this is one of the few interesting Wii U games coming exclusively to Nintendo's next console. Ubisoft's ZombiU is obviously a survival horror game that capitalizes the unique features in the Wii U GamePad. Since Nintendo is dumping all the attention to that large controller rather than the console itself, I'm not surprised that the first batch of games are trying to apply the Wii U's unique features. With ZombiU, this is pretty much a first look at what games would look like for core gamers. It looks promising. Check out 10 minutes of gameplay footage.
ZombiU Gameplay
The second screen on your controller fits perfectly for this game. The fact that your checking your inventory, looting corpses, and picking locks in the Wii U controller's small screen creates more tension and fear to the game. It's a survival horror after all. Focusing on the task at hand on the small screen, but actually checking the big screen if any zombie is coming close to you. Should have been nerve-wracking for the player in the video. I also like the fact that you go to third person view while using the Wii U controller, then heads back to first person when done.

ZombiU is looking good. The problem is, the gameplay shown again brings the biggest concern with the Wii U console -Is it stronger or weaker than the PS3 or Xbox 360?? Yes, it's a big step up, but the Wii U is considered a next-gen console, the successor to the successful Wii console. From what I'm hearing, the Wii U could be stronger or weaker than current consoles. With how ZombiU looks at this point, it seems weaker. Hopefully there is a lot more developers can dish out in the system as years go by, because its visuals are a bit underwhelming.

But thanks to ZombiU, I now have one reason to buy the Wii U at this point.
