Wii U Gets December 4th release date for Japan (26,260, 31,500 Yen)

Damn, $173 for an extra gamepad, in Aus they will likely bump it up to $199 at least. And the system itself being $350/400 is going to mean something along the lines of $399/$450 for us as well :/

A price cut for the 360/PS3 would make it tough for the Wiiu this holidays.
