Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U’s price and release date will be announced tomorrow.
The firm will announce the RRP and release date for the console during a webcast on the official Nintendo Direct page. It’ll go live at 9 AM in central Europe.
Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata will be taking “a closer look at the upcoming Wii U console” during the special event.
As for the next-gen platform’s release date, it was already known that the Wii U would launch sometime during Q4, 2012. Its price, meanwhile, has remained a mystery ever since the console’s announcement during E3 2011.
However, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime had previously stated that the console will be sold at a “reasonable” price.
“We want to launch at a price that’s going to represent an ongoing great value,” he said. “If you look at the Wii, we stayed at $250 for a really long time, so we’re going to give that same level of thought to Wii U.”
