US Wii U release date 'November 11th', distributor claims

4.6
According to yet another Wii U release date rumour, Nintendo's new console will be out in US on November 11 for a base price of $249.99.

The source is a supposed listing on the login-assess-only site of VPD - Video Product Distributors, who has Amazon among its distribution clients.
Interestingly, the listing snapshot (pictured, via GoNintendo), shows three release SKUs priced at $249.99, $299.99 and $349.99.

Could Nintendo be offering gamers the option to bundle more than one Gamepad controller with higher-priced Wii U packages? We hope so.

This isn't the first time the console's been tipped for a November launch. Gaming accessory maker PDP apparently leaked a November 18 North American release date for the Wii U during a GameStop managers' conference, where they were detailing upcoming products, but has since moved to curb the spreading rumour, calling it 'a misunderstanding'.

Predictably, Nintendo is blocking its ears and humming loudly in response to the barrage of Wii U release rumours.

Nintendo will host a Wii U-focused press event in New York City on September 13, at which a US Wii U release date announcement is expected.

November 11th isn't really a smart date to release.

It'll be competing with Halo 4 and Black Ops 2, two of the biggest games this year.

This will be the 2nd time they have changed it. Why not keep it back and quit the wii. I hate when I go some where and people say they are a gamer and when I go over there all they got is a f****g wii with dance games n bull s**t.

iPerma Wii actually takes time to make a great game they always have that's the best thing about them.


Yeah I really hate it how they rush CoD games on every other platform, on the wii they actually take time to upgrade their minigames. LAWL


Correction, they take longer on wii because have to downgrade the game for it.


That's why Wii games look horrible compared to other consoles.
