So is NSMB U going to be $60?

Maybe... it's 6000 yen... same price as Super Mario Bros Wii.

But japan prices for software is something that we can't really compare. It's a crazy system.

Hmmm, NSMB Wii was also 6000 Yen in Japan?

Well, time to wait for the NA Nintendo Direct.

Unless they lock the 1GB to the OS. It's for multitasking the PS3 really doesn't multi-task well this way you can be running MiiVerse and the internet browser at the same time. (It may allow developers to use some of that 1GB for network related functions so it is always on and always will have memory for it.

I guess there is a second software centric ND from Japan in a few hours/minutes.

Maybe they could shrink the OS RAM pool over time like the PS3?
Doubt it though.

1GB for games just sounds quite small.

Think it as this.

1 gb is ram for system/Os

1 for amin memory (games)

It's possible to use the some of the system memory.

25,000 and 30,000 Yen? That's the same price as the Wifi and 3G Vita models respectively. Insanely good prices.

Omg its so not expensive O_o (no sarcasm). Are they going to make a profit lol? Well Wii Sports was not bundled in Japan so i still believe Nintendoland will be bundled for U.S. :) So 279.99 US for basic and 349.99 US for Premium. DAY ONE PREMIUM FOR ME :D

Japan usually gets things a bit more expensive than us, too--I predict $250 and maybe $320 for us.

What is Nintendo Network Premium? I don't get it. Is it like Playstation Plus where you get certain rewards in exchange for a monthly subscription?

Yes they do, I think Nintendo does it because they can get away with it in its home country as they are the dominant player in that market; however, in the U.S., Microsoft and Sony are very much present (Microsoft is almost nonexistent in Japan). I still believe it will be 279.99 in the US with bundle, as the yen is very strong and eats up alot of its profits. I don't know honnestly, seems like a Playstation Plus thingy and a 10% return on digital game purchases???!! I'm a bit confused as you are.

Very possible. NoJ said they're not getting a bundled game, but people forget that Japan's Wii didn't have Sports bundled in, either. So, probably Nintendo Land in the $279 bundle and both Nintendo Land and a 'meatier' game like Mario or even Zombi U for the more expensive one. One or both may come in the form of a download code to entice people to start using the Nintendo Network.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

"GPGPU." Main mem: 1 GB. System: 1 GB. Total: 2GB.

The GPGPU is GREAT NEWS GUYS

That means if the CPU is clocked down it will not matter because it will be sharing with the GPU which they probably boosted way hight like reports so you will NOT have a bottleneck system.
