Zechs Merquise Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If we get it for £199 that'll be a steal. It ain't gonna be £160, that's just silly talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 December 7th £249.99 or maybe a slim chance of November 30th. My guesstimations for what it's worth. It's worth nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm going to guess that the system will be £279.99 in store, £299.99 as a bundle with Nintendo Land and Wiimote plus. Online, £249.99 or £279.99 with bundle. Games to retail at £42.99 Console to release 7th December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Don't expect the price to be revealed for Europe. EU bitchslapped Nintendo for "price fixing" a few years ago, and that's why they started the whole "retailers choose the price" bull Yeah but it worked out pretty well for the 3DS as it led to a launch-period price war.

Mokong Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I forgot about that "retailers set the price" thing they did in Europe for the 3DS launch. If they do that again for the WiiU I'll prolly be paying more for it. I haven't pre-ordered it yet but I do know the stores here have it in their systems earmarked for 350euro, I was hoping this would come down to at least 300 or better 250 euro when Nintendo announced the date and price. If they do go the "retailers pull prices out of their asses" again GameStop here better be good.... although if I remember right they did do a good offer when I got my 3DS on day one where with my pre-order I got 2 games for price of one, hopefully they do that again with WiiU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Oh yeah retailers setting the price.... forgot about that for europe, i hope its not more than shopto's 279 price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burny Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't expect to get a price tomorrow. At least not for Europe. Although taking the US price in dollar (without tax) and converting it 1:1 into euro, tax included, has worked for the last couple of years. I'm honestly a bit surprised that I haven't seen any bingo cards, yet. Therefore I'd like to propose another game: Guess by how much Nintendo's stock will have dropped at the end of the day. They're unlikely to announce that they're switching to phone development, so investors are bound to be unhappy, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 We'll probably see retailers putting up their prices for the console tomorrow anyway (with most coming to some sort of concensus) Nearer to launch, Shopto or one of the major supermarkets will do a deal and the others will follow suit I bet.

Nyubi Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm gonna go with €299, seems like a good price to me. Maybe with some sort of demo version of NintendoLand with a couple of the attractions pre-installed or on a disc, a dowload code for some more attractions (gotta get them WiiU's online, though I guess Miiverse'll probably take care of that) and the rest you can buy as a pack in the eShop. Could be a bit complicated though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canand Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 From RichIGN twitter Nintendo is now doing TWO Japanese Wii U broadcasts. One in six hours and the other about six hours later. Nothing like last minute... The second Japanese broadcast now overlaps with the NOA conference and NOE's video. This is insanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Gibbs Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Looks like @Ashley won the price guessing and date guessing game basic model (WHITE) is £210 8GB flash memory premier model (BLACK) is £250 32gb Flash memory well much better than i hoped, well assuming the euro price conversion isn't the usual JAP/US price plus £50 if it stays close to that then i'm looking at £350 ish on launch day that i need, so i'm already over halfway there on my savings for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The Japanese prices include tax Ah, that changes things. Although their tax is only 5%. Anyway.

Cube Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 But will the Nintendo direct be worth watching all the way through. I'm not expecting much other than information, and I won't be getting the console at launch anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expecting much other than information, and I won't be getting the console at launch anyway. At the very least, you've got videos/info about Dragon Quest 10 Wii U, YAIBA (Keiji Inafune's new zombie game) and what appears to be BLOPS2 (going by what that guy said about an game that's been hinted at for a while to be unveiled today) coming in these events...

Debug Mode Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yeah I'd be surprised to hear a price from Nintendo as well, the price fixing scandal has made them be a little too cautious IMO though. Setting an RRP is completely fine, it's only when you tell retailers they cannot sell the goods below a certain price (which they did quite rampantly in the 64 days) that things become illegal.

Cube Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 JRPGs, Zombies (since L4D nailed it) and CoD bore me. Although there Sega's Project Omega. I think I'll just glance at stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
