I am guessing this too. Except it will come loaded with software like Othello, maybe Panorama View and maybe include some NFC something in the box.

I am there day 1 and Nintendo Land is my most anticipated title.

Really curious to see how Nintendo spreads out all of the first party published titles between now and March-ish:

- Nintendo Land
- NSMBU
- NG3 : Razor's Edge
- Lego City Undercover
- Sing Party
- Pikmin 3
- Game and Wario
- Project P-100
- Panorama View

NSMBU, Ninja Gaiden, and NintendoLand seem to be the launch titles, given their prominence in the advertising.

My money is ready.

It would be funny if Nintendo had a press announcement that said either:

"It has been on sale since yesterday!"
or
"It goes on sale tomorrow!"

I'll never forget going to the mall and walking past Software Etc (or maybe it was an EB Games) and seeing the Saturn on display and available for sale.

I was both amazed (I was a huge VF fanatic) and pissed off at the same time (as I was still saving to buy one).

"WTF?!? This isn't supposed to be out yet!"

Eh, I wish it was launching October 29th.

Oh well, I'm excited.

Pikmin before or after Christmas is the only question I have. Late november launch doesn't leave much time for a second wave of software before the new year..

 

[EscoBlades]

it'll be $350!

Ninty can jog on at that price.

 

[Cheesemeister]

I'm guessing Sunday, November 18th, 2012 in NA.

I'd dig up my post that says the same thing but I'm too lazy.

Wait, did you (Wario64) post this on some sort of site of yours, or is NeoGAF now a blog?

NeoGAF is Wario64's blog.

 

[batman2million]

I'm gonna wait a couple of months. If any games have a crazy good deal, I'll buy em then get the system. So this way I don't spend too much at once. Or feel ripped off it if sucks.

I think that's more than a little presumptuous of him!

My blog is my Twitter. So, no

Why is Nintendo heavily promoting Ninja Gaiden 3? Did they not get the memo that the game is awful?

I know, I just found it funny that they directly copy and pasted your opening post, and sources it as coming from "a blog".

Nintendo is putting it out. Weird, right?

 

[Aaron Strife]

Nintendo probably wanted Ninja Gaiden because it's easily identifiable as an old-school Nintendo game. They're counting on low-info gamers to see it in stores and be like "Hey, I remember Ninja Gaiden, that balls-to-the-wall hard game for the NES!" Plus it's easily portable and ready for launch.

iirc there are some improvements in Wii U's version, and the major lacks and problems of NG3 are now fixed.

Nintendo put its hands all over it, so there's still hope

 

[StAidan]

Kind of silly, but I'm excited about the Wii U even though I have no intention of buying one anywhere near launch. (Can't justify it with all the unplayed games I still have for Wii/DS.)

It'd be awesome if $250 turns out to be the launch price, I'm definitely expecting $300 though. And I won't buy until the first price cut, at the earliest.
