No
No!
No No No!
There will be NO price announced for Europe, get that in your heads before it happens, people!
It will be "price will be set by retailers" again! This is how it works now! Spare yourself the disappointment.
embargo on the direct show or talking about that it will happen?
+ WHAT'S THAT THING ON THE GAMEPAD SCREEN!?
I hope this hypetrain has airbags!
Yep.
There are also concerns from some third parties over there being Mario at launch. While it drives hardware sales, it is the presumed 1.0 software tie ratio lock for the system. I recall someone saying that it's so default it might as well be packed in.
One reason third parties are being tepid at launch is because nothing but Mario is going to sell for a few months, anyway. But Nintendo is screwed because they can't not launch the system with NSMBU, especially at this point.
It's official, ladies and gentlemen

That actually makes a lot of sense in a weird way. Had Nintendo announced some great OS features at E3, sony and microsoft would have had time to whip up something similar to it (a copy if you will ;-)) in time for the launch window.
Well... if anything, every Wii U owners will at least give it a try.
If it's not packed in, i bet a lot of people on GAF, or "hardcore gamers" in general, will ignore it.

A new tidbit: there were concerns amongst third-parties that would release "casual"/family games that customers would not be enticed to purchase their titles if the first-party flagship of this kind of software will be packed-in.
A double edged-sword, it could demonstrate the Wii U capabilities and drive the sales à la Wii Sports, but also push a huge part of early adopters to say "ok we already have a game with the system, we won't acquire another for weeks/months" and not buy anything more.
So it seems Nintendoland packed-in was a sure thing a few months ago, but at the very least it raised some questions from third-parties.
is it just me or do these shapes have hard corners? Really odd, I know, but you'd think nintendo would go with round corners...and it bugs me.
No AA at launch confirmed.
I believe you, but this shows how dumbass are Third parties: they put nothing really impressive on 3DS at launch because there was no Nintendo title strong enough to assure sgood sales debut for the console, and we have several official sentences about that.
No, Nintendo is trying to "lock" a good debut with a possible "demo" bundled and a strong IP, and third parties are afraid.
Truth is: third party has no clue and interest in being strong on Nintendo HWs.
I hope they understand that Nintendo tried launching a system without including a game or a Mario game at or near launch. Third parties were given the a clear field to take advantage of and they blew it. Theory tested and damage done.
I think third parties wouldn't have anything to worry about if they didn't release and then forget their own games. If they kept talking about them, pushing them after release in some manner they'd do better. Do they think Nintendo is going to suddenly after release act like NSMBU or Nintendo Land don't exist and then focus completely on the next game? No. The will have to stop making excuses for their own lack of action. Perhaps if they try to actively push and sell their game they wouldn't have these concerns instead of expecting the sales to just come to them.
The hype created by all the initial unveiling is (in their reasoning) why they over-priced the 3DS. People weren't just excited for the system but for Kid Icarus, Resident Evil, Kingdom Hearts, Paper Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing and so on. By only giving us titles from launch/launch window they can more accurately gauge interest and set a more reasonable price.
Okay I need to see how the time line works with NYC event and EU Nintendo Direct stream
do they overlap?

who an I kidding I'll tab them both
I still think a partial pack-in is possible. Get a few of the attractions stored on the Wii U's flash, with the option to buy the rest in the eShop or at retail.
This is a reasonable happy medium IMO.

Show something for 3DS too plz, liek MH3G

Indeed. But it will be announced at the US conference. Just replace the term "dollar" by "euro" when you hear it.
SOMEONE POST ALL THE NINTENGIFS. HYPE RISING.

My mistake, maybe "suggested price" is better.
No price at all would be better. No word in Euro price other than "check with your retailer of choice" which means amazon & friends will have final prices about 24h later (or a little earlier).
Point is, if you're not interested in the current software line-up, great. Don't buy a Wii U at launch. It seems to be what Nintendo wants you to do - wait. Wait until there's games you want to play like a rational person. It's not like you have to buy it at launch, or that launch software should instantly appeal to you, individually because you want to buy the hardware.
