Smart Whiskeymatt would be going to bed right now and would just read summaries on both the conference and the Nintendo Direct after waking up. Smart Whiskeymatt is boring though so I won't be listening to him.

Yeah, that's morning-Whiskeymatt's problem, who cares about him.
It's a tough reveal to surpass... but I am confident that Sakurai will make.
But, what a day was it, when Sonic was revealed.

15 more minutes approx.!

20 minutes... enough for Iwata to drop a price, date, and leave.
My wallet is reggie.

Fixed that for you
Edit: You fixed it yourself
Also note, the US usually had a $199 system at launch. But also, exchange rates are quite a bit different now - most of those years, that ¥25,000 was worth around $220, but these days it's worth $322. So that could make a big difference on how Nintendo chooses to price it in both Japan and the US.

Holy crap, December launch? Gamepads sold separately, Wii controls not included even in premium set? Boy have I been wrong with my predictions

Can anyone summarise the non tech info they just divulged?

So I am guessing, but $399 USD for premium and $349 USD for the standard SKU?
EDIT: or am I doing it wrong?

It was 25,000 yen for the basic set with 8GB, 30,000 for premium set with 32GB plus 500 points towards downloads and I think 10% off download price, maybe 10% off all downloads until the end of 2014, I didn't quite get that point

I didn't need any extra reasoning to get the Black Wii U, but Nintendo made sure to provide it.

Gamepads not sold sperarately until next year.
Gamepads are expensive.
System is perfect. Will get the black one since I was expecting 30,000 anyway.
No Wii Mote.
Nintendo Land being cheaper is smart. Remember Wii Sports was not a pack in in Japan.
HYPE.

Well, at least we know why they were hesitant to sell the controller at first.
So i was right all along for the ram situation, since february
It's from this 1GB for "OS" that my bolded "HUGE" and "AT LEAST" (as some have understood) come.

Although i had a little "fear time" after my sources told me of an "retail condition mode", so i guess it's just some sort of deactivation of those 1GB for the OS.

yeah, would be pretty underwhelming. I'd go for the cheap one, but I don't want any of those white consoles anymore. Like, I really don't.

1GB dedicated to the OS is NUTS. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby to see what's going on there.

Ah, premium buyers get 10% of the points they spend on downloads back until the end of 2014. And the premium set also comes with the controller stands.

What's going on right now? Some kind of press event for the Wii U?

only thing im confused about is if the gamepad will come with the 8GB or not I think if for sure does in the 400$ one
and the launch day is 12-8-2012
Now this is for Japan I think it might be later for us but before Christmas and after black friday lol

I imagine that they will do like in the late 3ds and release some (or a lot) of RAM for the games when the fix the final OS... I mean RAM from the os to the games.
That was interesting. Particularly the 1GB of RAM for the OS, they've obviously got some serious announcements on "entertainment" and online features coming later today to be needing that sort of RAM footprint, although for the life of me I can't think what.
I've also now got to watch three different Nintendo presentations at the same time later on, which is going to get confusing to say the least.

I'm guessing the Western premium model may include Nintendoland. That's really the only way that i'll bite on it. I'll go with the standard if the only real difference is a small harddrive upgrade and a 10% discount on digital titles.
