Haha, you guys are going nuts :p Was alright, I suppose, though I don't really care much for Bayonetta. Will definitely not get a Wii U on launch, but will definitely get one in a year or two. Also, ZombiU looks way better than I expected with these new details. Still don't get the point of the game really.

I still consider the line-up of exclusives to be rather weak.

EDIT: By the way, what happened in the US Nintendo Direct? Was Reggie talking? Anything that wasn't on the EU one?

Also nice to see that European Premium beats the hell out of the Japanese one.

thats a really light launch day lineup. I'd like the launch window games to at least be split into 2012 and 2013. Being the end of November that launch list might be all we get until January.

I think the conclusion we have to draw is that NA needs a Satoru of their own.

I gather there was a brief mention of Monolith on the Japanese stream - any details, or just acknowledging that they were working with the system?

Nintendoland only packed in on the premium. Not clear if the ZombiU premium replaces Nintendoland or adds to it.

I think there were a couple more items in the premium bundle, too? I don't recall a sensor bar in the Japanese one.

Satoru is great.

Gives the impression of a much closer connection to NoJ, and his casual delivery of everything while occasionally struggling with the English just makes the bomb dropping even better :)

Curious about that as well. You saw the Monolith logo for a second, then it was all about Platinum games. What was that about?

Ordered!

And now the link is dead: "404 - Document not found".

Well, amazon.co.uk honored the pricing mistake for my DOA5-Collector's Edition-preorder only a couple of weeks ago (£34.02), so maybe I'm in for a cheap Wii-U!

I managed to get an order in but I'm skeptical as I did the same the last time they put the black console up for £199 back in June and that got cancelled.

I had an opticians appointment and therefore missed everything passed the standard vs premium section. As I left the opticians I switched my Blackberry on and when I saw Bayonetta 2 I honestly said to myself 'gafs going to love this'

Any word on whether or not Amazon will be taking preorders for the Wii U? I have a lot of gift card credit I want to use on this thing.

I'm liking this talk of £210/£250. Anything in those sort of ballparks and I can start getting excited. £279.99 or above and I start doubting it a bit.

I assume the full Nintendo Direct is going to be on the 3DS, today?

Wii U really doesn't need anymore system sellers, it has enough of them. Now its time for the niche games and Bayonetta is probably the best game they could have come up with.

Monster Hunter, NSMBU and DQ. Nintendo isnt interested in giving the ps4 and xbox720 in japan not even the slightest chance, aren´t they?
