There is a rumor about the Wii U that Video Product Distributors has the following information on their website. The thing is that you need to be able to log in to the website to see what is actually posted there, so it makes it harder to verify this information. Supposedly this is what is found there:

WIIU SYSTEM – GM
11/11/12 $249.99

WIIU SYSTEM 349 W/ – GM
11/11/12 $349.99

I am not sure if this information is true, because I don’t know if Nintendo would sell their brand new console as the same price as the Wii originally was. I would think $300 or more, but you never know. Would Nintendo also release the Wii U on the same day as Paper Mario: Sticker Star?
