Wii U launches in Europe on November 30th
The Wii U will launch across Europe on November 30th, Nintendo has confirmed. That’s twelve days after America, but a week before Japan. Merry Christmas.In terms of content, the bundles on offer in Europe are much the same as the ones already announced for Japan, with a basic package containing a white console and gamepad, and the premium black console coming with extras such as a charging cradle and stands for both gamepad and console.One key difference is that the European premium bundle will come with NintendoLand as a pack-in. That’s the family compilation that Nintendo clearly hopes will repeat the success of Wii Sports. Zelda, Pikmin, Metroid, Mario, Luigi, Animal Crossing, Yoshi, Game & Watch, Donkey Kong, Takamaru’s Castle, Ballon Fight and F-Zero are the Nintendo properties getting the minigame treatment. If that all sounds a bit twee, you’ll be able to opt for a more grisly ZombiU premium bundle.Read more…
