shadow mario Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I was having a look at Wii U on Amazon UK and came across listings for Nintendo Licensed accessories all with a 30th November release date. A November release sounds right to me, just like to know your thoughts on this. Here are the links - Nintendo Licensed Controller Faceplate: £14.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Licensed-Controller-Faceplate-Wii/dp/B008U25YUG/ref=sr_1_68?ie=UTF8&qid=1344358265&sr=8-68 Nintendo Licensed Stand & Storage Case: £29.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Licensed-Stand-Storage-Case/dp/B008U260FO/ref=sr_1_65?ie=UTF8&qid=1344358335&sr=8-65 Nintendo Licensed Write & Protect Kit: £7.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Licensed-Write-Protect-Kit/dp/B008U25YRY/ref=sr_1_72?ie=UTF8&qid=1344358401&sr=8-72 Nintendo Licensed Rainbow Stylus Pack: £9.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Licensed-Rainbow-Stylus-Pack/dp/B008U25YW4/ref=sr_1_67?ie=UTF8&qid=1344358479&sr=8-67 I just find it quite interesting, sorry if this has been posted before. Thanks for looking! Edited September 13, 2012 by shadow mario Those Amazon UK listings were correct after all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 30th November? Wouldn't be happy with that. I was secretly hoping for October But with a September reveal I guess it won't be too soon after... Dammit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I wouldn't place too much hope in that, I am convinced - assuming Black Ops is confirmed - we'll see WiiU cash in on Activisions bohemoth and release in western territories at least the week before.

Kav Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It'll be before that I believe. They'll want to release before thanksgiving to start with strong sales there before a huge xmas rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canand Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 My timeframe is November 2nd to 16th November Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I was hoping for an October release too, but I can see it being the beginning of November to encompass thanks giving and the early Christmas buying. Leaving it till the very end of November would be a mistake as you miss a huge chunk of the holiday season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Sounds fairly likely. Nintendo will probably push back the EU and JPN releases of the Wii U if they have to in order to get the Wii U out in the US before Black Friday and Thanksgiving. I suspect that they were planning to have it release in the EU a little earlier in the month, but production scheduling probably forced them to delay a little bit in order to make the US date with enough stock.

shadow mario Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks for the responds, what do guys think about the accessories? Will you buy any? I might buy the Nintendo Licensed Stand & Storage Case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 IF I got a Wii U, I wouldn't get any of those accessories. I'm still waiting to see the price on it before I make any purchase decisions, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Release date sounds about right, give or take a week or two. I'm not sure I'll bother with any accessories. Only the essential stuff. Unless something comes along that is needed for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
