The definitive WiiU prediction thread!

We're almost at the time where we'll finally find out the vital final pieces of information about the WiiU. Let's collect up some predictions so that we'll be able to grant VGChartz's own Michael Pachter Award of fantastic crystal ball skills.

- What price will the WiiU release at? Different SKUs?

- Launch games! Will Nintendoland be bundled?

- Launch date?

- Other awesome predictions are welcome

What is a real biscuit?  



Around the Network

I think the 3 sku rumor makes a lot of sense and since it came from a legitimate system its probably right.

So, with that in mind, my ideas on that from the other thread are:
$249 Core bundle (white or black) - Wii U + gamepad + core applications and some free games like board games (othello, backgammon, or similar)
$299 Plus bundle (white or black) - Core + Nintendoland + Wiimote plus + nunchuk + 4 to 16GB SD Card
$349 Pro bundle (black) - Core + Black Ops2 + Pro Controller + 100 to 250GB USB HDD

Launch date:
Nov 11th or 18th with me leaning towards the 11th.

November games:
Full existing Wii digital catalog (wiiware/VC)
A hand-full (3 to 5) of big Gamecube games now in VC
Nintendoland in a bundle that includes a wiimote+
ZombiU
Black Ops2
Assassin's Creed3
Ninja Gaiden3
Batman AC
NSMBU
Rayman Legends
LEGO City undercover
Just Dance 4
Mass Effect3
TankTankTank
Madden13
(few other crap IPs/cartoon/movie titles)

December games:
Few more Gamecube VC titles
Injustice
FIFA 13
Scribblenauts unlimited
Pikmin3
Rabbidsland
(few other crap IPs/cartoon/movie titles)

2013 games
some of these titles will be reveals on sept 13.

Other things I think may happen (may not be day 1, but will trickle in):
Use of real username and this will trickle over to 3DS owners (see below for big thing).
Free online play
Netflix/Hulu/youtube
chrome browser
Achievement/Trophy system
skype video conf (so you can wiiu only or skype)
facebook/google+
Nintendo store will include a store front for all types of media, similar to Amazon's store on Android devices

**big thing here**
Ability to sync Nintendo accounts under a single "parent" account across multiple devices.
- parents can set parental settings to child accounts
- digital content is now capable to play across multiple Nintendo devices so long as game is capable to be ran on that device.
- many social features cross platform (wiiu/3ds/pc/phone/tablet) based on installed Nintendo app.



I want a biscuit



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

I think a launch of November 11th makes sense. I also think there will be multiple SKU's, one with just the tablet, one with the tablet and a Wiimote, one with those two and a HDD. All will come with the system and NintendoLand. In addition, a base price of £199, going up to £260 for different packs.

More to come, though it'd be mostly what Superchunk said.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

It will release on November 11th with three SKU's:


Basic bundle - $250. Includes console, tablet and Nintendo Land.

Casual - $300. Includes all from above plus two Wii motion plus controllers and 2 nunchucks.

Pro pack - $350. Includes basic bundle, two pro controllers and Zombie U

Seeing as how the Waverace trademark has just been renewed and the Eternal Darkness trademark just received a fourth extension, I'd love an official announcement - or better yet, some gameplay footage - pertaining to one or both.



In order to be a biscuit, it needs a two-piece. That will be the tablet bundled with Nintendoland for $300.

The second sku will be the same price but a different color... and bundled with NSMBU.

NO Wii remotes will be bundled until several years later....



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

I'll go with 3 SKU's... $200, $250 and $300.

It'll release on Nov 18 in NA, and Dec 7 (possibly later) in Europe). I don't know about Japan.

Nintendo games will stay at $50.

NSMB U and Assassin's Creed III will be the highest selling games for at least the first 6 months.



 

 

 

I believe there is gonna be 2 different bundles:

1) "Casual bundle": Wii U system, GampePad, Wiimote and NintendoLand - $300

2) "Hardcore Bundle": Wii U system, GamePad, Wii U pro controller and ZombiU - $350

Both bundles will come with HD cables

Launch games:

NintendoLand, ZombiU, NSMB U, Pikmin 3, Tank! Tank! Tank!, Ninja Gaiden, Mass Effect 3, Batman AC, Assassins Creed 3, Just Dance 4

Launch date: I'll say November  18th



Nintendo and PC gamer

I'd say awesomeness and surprises!!! =)
