Nintendo of Europe just relveaed the European launch date for the Wii U: November 30. There's the same two bundles that we'll get here in the US, but a third ZombiU Premium Wii U bundle was also announced for Europe. Lucky.
Pricing from various territories will be announced soon, they say. Poking around the internet, Amazon.co.uk has the Basic model listed for £199 (around $320). I'd guess the Premium bundle would come in at £249 then.
Unlike us, Europe has a solid list of release day games. New Super Mario Bros. U, NintendoLand and ZombiU join Rayman Legends, Toki Tori 2 and FIFA 13, as well as a few others. See the full list below.
- FIFA 13
- Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
- Nano Assault Neo
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- NintendoLand
- Rayman Legends
- Trine 2: Director's Cut
- Toki Tori 2
- ZombiU
