You're going to be waiting a long time if you're expecting a console revision.

this list was proven to be meddled with a long time ago, an elaborate hoax

No. I still think that leak is likely bullshit. The Wiimote battery/cradle and gamepad battery were good guesses but not too far out there. All those Fall dates are obvious horseshit.
We should know for sure in just two weeks.

Retro's game.
I'm definitely still skeptical but that list says NoA. I doubt we get the Nintendo Land bundles here because it's bundled with the Deluxe set here.
It did predate the release date announcement for Pikmin. Take that how you want.

That image predates the Nintendo Direct where Pikmin 3's release date was announced, doesn't it? So at the very least, it did correctly predict the North American release date of Pikmin 3 down to the day. Hmmm....
Doesn't look like it.

I wish they offered a white premium at launch. Every time i see a demo unit, its white and looks lovely as it hides fingerprints and all manner of dust so much better than glossy black.

I wish I could have gotten the White Premium at launch. Thanks, Nintendobama.
But seriously, stop shafting the White hardware, Nintendo. If I can get the Wiimote batteries in white, I will buy.

Well it's pretty obvious now Nintendo dropped the price to clear out stock. I'm betting that once all the basic sets are gone the white Deluxe will replace it at $299 (going by the Japanese price.)
look at them now, they're probably brown and dirty x(
It does. I remember seeing that list on /v/ before the announcement and this Reddit post about the list was made before the release date announcement.

They already sell them separately in Japan.
They always have in Japan.
Apologies I didn't know that, ignore me then!

False.
the reddit post predates the nintendo direct. the actual imgur link that reddit post linked to was edited after the nintendo direct.
If I gotta wait, I gotta wait. I'm in no rush to buy a Wii U. Worse comes to worst, they don't revise the console by the time Zelda comes out. By that time though, there'd have been a price drop or two.

Well, they had already announced that they would then.

White Premium Wii U is for me. Patience is its own reward.

I hope that list is wrong, cause I really want 3D Mario this year. More so than Smash or Mario Kart. And yeah, I'm 80% certain I'll get a Wii U this fall, and if so, I'll definitely get the White Premium.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect that for another several years.
Wonderful 101 isn't releasing in July, so the list is wrong with that.
it does say tentative so who knows

You sure that isn't referring to Zelda 3DS? Either way its missing one of the Zelda games and both were given 2013 dates for NoA."The Legend of Zelda: Subtitle TBD"
I think this list is real now.
I'm doubtful over this list.

Well bugger. On a further Google image search, I can't find it posted anywhere else before that Nintendo Direct, only news coverage of it after the fact. Unless someone can find the original in some /v/ archive site or something?

Oh, and regarding a console revision, I do think a gamepad revision could happen relatively soon. Like, maybe in a year or two. I wouldn't expect a full console revision for another three years, four years, or even later.
Smash is definitely not coming out this year and like I've been saying for quite some time, they don't need to release all those games this year considering they're getting some good AAA third party games this Holiday season (at least from Ubisoft that is) so I wouldn't be surprised if some Nintendo games are pushed back to 2014.

Let's hope there's a premium white model available in the US by the time I'm ready to buy one!

"WUP" is the code for Wii U (like RVL for Wii and DOL for Gamecube). The Legend of Zelda: subtitle tbd has a WUP code next to it.

I must be the only Wii U owner in existence who hasn't had any problems so far with charge length on my gamepad. Makes me feel like I'm not playing it enough.

I think it's ok. Would be annoying for an handlheld though.
Only thing is I would love a second cradle/ac for my bedroom.

The survey a while back suggested a $40 price for the Wiimote battery and charging cradle. That is kind of steep, but I might still get it. I plan on getting a brand new black wiimote and nunchuck for Pikmin 3.

I wanted the White Premium so bad at launch but had to go with Black. This hurts.

Just for the battery and charging cradle? That sounds way too expensive. I'd really like official ones, though. I love how you can charge it with the Wii Remote jacket on. I might just buy four Eneloop batteries for twenty bucks.
