Nintendo holding Wii U event Sept. 13

We are looking at $250 to $350.

it is hard to believe that it will cost only $250.  id say $399 is more likely, but maybe less.  250...that is like saying this is only a hd wii with a new controller.  my ps3 cost $250. 

i really dont care.  i will be buying it launch day no matter the price with 4 to 5 games as of right now...but i think there is a couple games being held back.

i hope they tell you how much the gamepad will be sold for separately!!!!!

if gamespot doesn't show this event, i found this site, "http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-9020_7-57497493-222/nintendo-to-hold-wii-u-event-in-nyc-on-september-13/" they said, "The CNET crew will be covering next month's event live, so be sure to tune in for all the breaking news." so, i know, i can at least watch it!!!!!!!

Oh no not Reggie...... I ...... cant.....Stand... the way he..... talks.

isn't it funny? people want the wii u to be more powerful then the 360 and ps3. but yet, they're not willing to pay for it. myself, i couldn't care less about the power of the wii u. it could be weaker then the original nes for all i care. all that matters to me is the exclusive games. if they are better then everyone else.

Needs to be $250 for a possible impulse buy... Also the economy is still rather weak so much more than $300 would surely doom the U to a slow start.

looking forward to the event

Great so a potential $250 price point, that will mean £200, which when converted back to dollars is around $450 (nice and fair).

I just hope they include a game with the console to compliment the game pad like with Wii Sports damn that would be so cool of Nintendo.

It will retail at $299. It has to.

The highest price I could imagine for a console is $300.  If they can get it down to $200, it will sell like hotcakes for the first six months at least.  $250 is the more likely price point...depends on what is included in the package.

Ironically, I was planning to pre-order one of these, but Nintendo waited so long to come with the details that it now makes it financially difficult for me to do.  (It would have been feasible if I could spread the payments out over the course of, say, ten months.)  I'm not sure why they waited so long to release the concrete details....they're not Apple.  If they're afraid that Microsoft or Sony are going to copy their innovations, that's going to happen regardless of when they announce.

Ruggedization is great and all but this think just looks bulky and awkward--OKAY, I'M STILL BITTER ABOUT WII, okay, I said it. Yeah, that means I hate WiiU for reasons of my own that can't get wrangled in with the other more practical concerns that keep me from buying 'Wii v.2.0.'

if its cheap its cheap if its expensive its expensive

The Wii U event can be resumed by this GIF: http://i.imgur.com/DE1yM.gif Finally we will see Bart in action. :P XD

Here are the specs guys. I work for nintendo.

Price: Cheap

GPU: Good enough to compete with 360 and ps3

Core: Its alot. It can compete with 2005 360 and 2006 PS3

Hardrive: Plenty of Space to store pikmins3

Features: Utilize touchpad never seen before in the market. Only includes one touchpad, BUT players would be able to still shake their wii remotes to join for multiplayer experience.

there, happy

The iPhone 5 is rumored to be announced on September 12. Curious how this will effect the attention people give the Nintendo briefing. All I want to know is "How much?" and "What are the launch titles?"

my body is ready for 599 US dollars.

What I find the most hilarious is some people on Gamespot keep saying the  Wii U will be underpowered and barely better than PS3 / 360 but some people are saying we don't need next generation of consoles yet because PS3 still has a lot of life left in it, and that developers are making excuses for not making creative enough new games by blaming lack of next generation of consoles. Make up your mind! Seriously, The Wii U will have hardware that's faster than the GPUs in PS3 / 360 but it won't compete with PS4 and Xbox 720. Nintendo instead will focus on its main franchises and innovative gameplay. I am sure COD players will be waiting for Xbox 720 or w/e it is anyway. On MetaCritic, Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 rank as the 2nd and 3rd highest rated console games last generation. As long as Nintendo prices this under $299, has many great Nintendo franchise titles and improves its 3rd party title support it should do well. Unlike Patchter, I'll give this console a chance and not only evaluate it on specs. Gamecube was pretty powerful compared to PS2 and look how well that turned out. Can't just look at the specs boys!

Nintendo should have had all of they're information together at E3 not now. nintendo seems to not be able to make up they're minds on what to do. just tell us everything we need to know already, specs, PRICE, and launch titles. Enough with the gimmicks already.
