After tons of speculation, Nintendo finally announced the release date and prices of their new tablet controlled console Today. On top of that, we know what games will launch with the Wii U when it launches! The Wii U will release on November 18th with two versions at two different prices. The first version which is called the “Basic Set” comes in white and will cost you $299 and a second version that comes in black called the “Deluxe Set” that will run you $349. The Wii U will tout 2 gigs of memory, 1GB for Games and 1GB for System and it’s media disc will hold up to 25GB and is not Blu-Ray. Also, the Deluxe Set will come with the console, 1 Controller, 1 HDMI cable, Power Cradle for your Wii U Tablets, 1 32GB harddrive and a subscription to Nintendo Network Premium which is pretty much like PlayStation Plus without the free games monthly. The Basic Set will feature a lot less (obviously), you only get an 8GB harddrive, the console (In white) and controller.
