Sunday Nov 18th for US

Fat lot of good this is - there is no sound on the US stream. But I was expecting a pre-Thanksgiving launch for the US so that is off to the right start.

EDIT: NM, reloaded the page.

If Nintendo TV works with sky and virgin, it will be pretty darn good.

 

[woofercooker]

Anybody got a link to the uk stream if there is one?

 

[Metalface Mark]

Viewtiful Joe 2, looks nice, thats what I thought it was, the Wonderful 101 what it actually is.

Bayonetta 2 Wii U exclusive.

 

[malachi]

Great!!!! Bayonetta 2, looks like Nintendo had picked it up

 

[Sinny]

Oh, no price? Time to get absolutely ripped by the British retailers as per usual. I mean I really like my Nintendo Hardware, but I don't think I like the way retailers price the systems. Think I'll leave this one for my mind to decide nearer the time.

You get a lot of product for your money, especially when you compare it to the 360/ps3 launch prices.

Christ on a bike! Did I just see Wipeout 3?

Can't compare to 360/PS3 launch prices, at the time their tech was cutting edge.

The Wii-U's isn't.

I think its wipeout, the TV show

Of course you can, the controller is cutting edge, you are getting more for your money than you did with any previous console release.

I felt the original wii was a disappointment, its not always about the graphics but the games Nintendo is capable of putting out. just going by the games listed today in the video beats all the previous wii games put together and im pretty sure im going to pre order one now. there is a few games here that look like lot of fun.

 

[pumaz]

Damn my one track mind it was indeed the show with the big red balls

This.

I won't be getting a Wii U unless it's mega cheap, but it's not going to be.
