I found this link and i checked it out and apparently gamestop knows about it.I will call the store later and check it out.

OK guys apparently they are just games and not systems and the average price says $100.Im going to assume its a typo or it includes the price to preorder because i cant see a videogame being $100. tell me what you think?

I'm fairly certain the Wii U has been able to be pre-ordered since it was first officially announced at last year's E3.

I checked your link, and it's probably more or less a placeholder. Nintendo still haven't given price or release date for the Wii U or its' games yet.

I agree its definitely a placeholder and it gives it away since every game on that list comes out December 31.

Preorders for products that don't have an official price and date always have to guess high and far. It would be a disaster if someone preordered something for a certain amount, then it would actually be higher later. It's just easier to set the price high and cut down the price when it gets announced than it is to have to ask more than what it initially was.

I hope that made any sense.

GameStop guessed too high on the prices, they should have guessed anywhere between $50 and $60 dollars. I'm hoping the average price for a Wii U game will be $50 just because I really don't like games to be $60, especially on a Nintendo console, where I will buy most of my games on.

Maybe "guess" wasn't the right word for me to use. As I said, preorders need to set the prices higher in order to make sure that they don't have to raise them later in case they really are higher. They can't promise one price at the time of preorder and then ask for more. Therefore, they have to set it much higher than it actually will be.

I do hope that the games are $50 like Nintendo always has, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they were $60. The 25GB discs are going to cost a lot more to make than what Nintendo has used in the past.
