Anyone else slightly concerned we've yet to hear a price/release date for this thing?

It's going to be a launch window game and will cost around $60, because EA is greedy like that.

Oh, you mean the Wii U. The date and price for Nintendo's last two systems (Wii, 3DS) weren't announced at E3 either and it was confirmed a couple of weeks ago that the Wii U's date and price wouldn't be announced at E3.

Ah, I never knew that. Though it seems everyone is in agreement it will be released this year. So I guess that's cool.

Well since all the games for it are being released this holiday season the system better be coming then. I made a thread for it. But it get ignored. That Nintendo isn't using E3 as a platform for announcing new material any more they have Nintendo Direct, the Nintendo Channel, 3DS show, Press events and Hands on events that they can spread out the love and give more focus to the items that are coming out.

The thing with Madden and Fire Emblem may have been at Nintendo's suggestion, focus on the stuff that is coming out soon, or in the launch window of the WiiU. It kind of makes sense but for those who are use to getting surprised it ends up being something of a let down. But the last two E3's should be a good indication on the direction Nintendo's marketing is going. (And it is working for the most part.)
