This is your last chance to predict anything and everything about the Wii U. ANYTHING!!!! However, if you guess, price, release date, colors, and what is packed in with the Wii U, if you get one of them correct, you get a Prediction Point. However has 4/the most prediction points wins nothing except blabber rights. Must be specific.

Spoiler

Super Obvious Prediction Price Range: $200-350, Sorta Obvious Price Range: $250-300, Price Prediction: $269.99

It's obvious Nintendo wants the Wii U as cheap as possible, and it MUST be in those parameters (talking about SOPPR) in order for it to be able to sell even a bit. No offense, but I wouldn't pay $400 on this thing. Neither would a grandma. My prediction is $270. Although Nintendo history points to $300, remember the NES-GameCube launch? All of them $200. Don't know why they went up, but from that, don't expect a $50+ leap.

Super Obvious Date Range: November-December 2012, Date Prediction: November 20th

Look up the release dates of GCN and Wii.

Colors: White and Black

I think they'll release both at launch. Look at the ads

Packaging:

I think they'll release two different packages: one with 4 Wii Remotes and one without any Wii stuff.

mario at launch day, pikmin a couple weeks later.
sales overall could exceed wii if launched correctly. ( 3ds had a poor launch and has better sales records so far than the ds)

Nintendo didn't confirm it, so I don't take it as real, LOL. Oh well, I'm a stubborn guy.

Launching on November 18th, and will retail for $299.99.

It won't release on November 13th (a Sunday) because Paper Mario: Sicker Star releases that day. At least, you wouldn't think.

[gregoryorizal]

Release Date: November 11th
Price: $299.99
Colors: Black and White
Bundles:They'll both come with 1 Gamepad and system and cords and junk but one package will have 1 Wii Remote Plus and one will have a Pro Controller. Nintendo Land will come bundled with both of them.
EDIT
Controller Price: Pro Controller will cost $30.00 and the Gamepad will cost $60 - 70.
Game Prices: 1st party games will cost 49.99 and 3rd party games will probably be no more than $59.99
The conference will pretty much be E3 but with WAAAAY more information released. Stuff like the Wii U home menu, the E-Shop, Network, Miiverse and how it all really works together. Reggie will come up with another stupid/ awesome phrase. And probably the most important thing, Non-Specific Action Figure will be announced as a pre order bonus.

[Soul]

November 18 release.
3-4 times current gen power.
Comes with one gamepad, charger, stand, stylus, sensor bar, And Nintendoland ( you will be able to choose with or without Nintendoland.
Launch in Black and White
300$ for no Nintendo land bundle. 350$ with it.
2 mature titles to be announced for launch.
One is Black Ops 2 which is scheduled to release November 13th along with Paper Mario:Sticker Star.
Pro controller to cost 30$ at lauch.
Analog Triggers put on Pro Controller and a few third party controllers. (Not including Nyko's classic)
Nintendo Network explained and a bit more improved than Xbox Live, although very similar.
Nintendo Network is free.　
Mii's have more clothing options although the colors are still plain. EX You get to pick; shorts, slim pants and baggy pants, with your choice of color.


This would make a good false rumour by me saying I work for Nintendo. And a lot of this might not happen. I'm just using my child imagination.

Well, I will give this a try :

November 18th release date

Price will be 299.99$

Will be available in black or white

Black ops 2 WILL be announced during this conference thing and Reggie will try and show once again that this system is for everyone. This will be a big part of this whole thing.

Pre orders will begin

There will be no special bundles upon release. You either get black or white and it simply comes with the system, hook ups and 1 game pad


Wii U game pads will cost 99.99 if you want to buy another one.


A special game will be included with the system like wii sports but it will NOT be Nintendo land. I bet they think they can make some bucks off that.


Nintendo network is free


Nothing much will be said about the pro controller but I see it at retail for 49.99 just like 360 and ps3 controllers.


I expect a full launch line up. We still don't know the exact games that will be out day 1 but I think we will after this.

[Happy Monk]

My predictions?
It will be good, but people will still complain.

[Happy Monk]

It doesn't matter anyway, the conference thing on 13th September is for the USA, I live in England, so what Reggie will say would just be a indicator as to when the console will come out elsewhere, and also an indicator of what games will launch with it.
