Dunno if this has been posted, but we may have a glimpse of Nintendo's UK Wii U advertising.
A Nintendo-made trailer for Eurogamer Expo.
I like it a lot, personally.

I'm pretty sure the premium bundle includes a charging cradle as well as a stand.

Fist of the north star 2? that came out of nowhere. Was the first game any good?
Metroid Hunter

Great OP! Just add something about the 2 GB RAM usage, and it's perfect!
Nope. But you know, maybe one day they'll release the most important games digitally. I mean, come on: we talk about a 10 year old console that you still can buy almost everywhere.
I put it in the "Differences Between Regions" section, thanks!

There first one was a dynasty warriors game afaik. So, probably not.
You've out done yourself on the OP Nibel. You rock!
I like this gif.
Played the first one on my 360 - well, it was ok. Not the best animations, very Japanese if you will. But I had some fun with it because of all the crazy moves that you got and the story goes crazier and crazier

lol, don't mind dynasty warriors games...loved the gundam versions.
Edit: Cheers Nibel
Obviously, a clue about the incoming next Metroid
Yay I was waiting for this new thread.
I am pretty pleased after yesterday- Monster Hunter coming in March clinched things for me.
Overall, some more Japanese stuff was announced, but honestly outside of Monster Hunter it was all Tecmo Koei. I would not be surprised at all if a few other Japanese announcements trickle out in the next week or so with TGS coming- namely Namco and possibly Level 5.

THANK YOU NIBEL!!! We've desperately needed a home base.
Some OP additions:
Every Japanese Premium Set includes Dragon Quest X Wii U Beta Access!
Both the ZombiU bundle and the MH3U bundle will also include a black Pro Controller (and they're bundled with the Premium SKU) that's why they're more expensive
GamePads aren't sold seperately in ALL territories. Not even Japan. The only difference is that Japan has already announced their standalone price.

Very good! Thanks!
So despite all the "keep the hype in check" before the Yesterdayton we not only had new games announcement but also exclusives titles and the first big Wii U/3DS cross featured game (I wonder how many others will goes this route, wasn't there an Eshop title supposed to offer crossplay...?). I don't know for you guys but for me it was better than E3 and even if I was already sold (tested it at an event) it increased my hype by a nextgen factor (x10).
What I find really interesting now is what could eventually be announced at TGS because I'm sure some publishers (Level 5 ?) have announcements in the waiting.
And what about the console features (NFC, Miiverse) which weren't really demoed?

Great thread Nibel. I posted this at the end of the second Japanese ND thread, but this is my view on yesterday.
http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/13/3323140/wii-u-pro-controller-price-release-date
Wii U Pro Controller -> US$49.99
Wii Remote Plus Additional Set (Wiimote Plus / Nunchuck / Sensor Bar) only announced for Japan & EU. Costs ¥5,250 (no EU price yet)
GamePad price won't be talked about until they're actually selling them.

I wanted to buy a PS3 now they are somewhat cheap, but this coming out at 350 made my mind change, I think I might grab one with the ZombU. Unless the PS3 get more discount.

Nice thread, Nibel. The Wii U logo in the banner is heavily compressed though.

I've been pretty lukewarm towards Reggie as of late, but when he confessed his loved for Breaking Bad, he got me back in his corner.
Awesome OP btw.

Glad I have a new home thread for the moment, the disjointed threads all talking about the same thing were getting annoying.

Hmm, you sure? IGN said that Japan would have standalone gamepads at launch, I think. Of course, they've been wrong many, many, many times before. Many. But they've been correct equally as many times too.

That'd be one week before release, according to forum rules. Also, I've been thinking about what's best, to have one big thread for all regional releases or separate threads for US, EU, Japan and other territories. One big thread I think is the better choice, easier to keep everything in place. I've already started work on that thread (I reserved it some time ago), mostly in text form. And you mentioned you wanted to do the graphics.

Metroid Prime 4 confirmed.
Probably? Most Wii games can save to SD card, which you can plug into other Wii consoles and use. Should hopefully be the same with Wii U.
Um.....we get NintendoLand.

Wait, so are just the launch window games announced for the US but not the actual launch titles? Do we know what games will be on sale for day one?
I hope they shorten that and make it into the boot up animation. That's way better than the Wii or GameCube ones.
100% confirmed via interviews @ NY event:
North America
NintendoLand
New Super Mario Bros. U
ZombiU
Asssassin's Creed III
Madden NFL 13
FIFA Soccer 13
Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
Darksiders II
Launch titles in other territories so probably also coming on launch day in the US:
Rayman Legends
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition
Batman Arkham City - Armored Edition
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
edit: sorry for doublepost ... I'm still used to the lightning fast pace from yesterday^^

Most Important Announcements
- Reggie is a fan of Breaking Bad
Most Important Announcements, this made me laugh,

He actually is a fan of Baking Bad, though.
He keeps tripping over his own words a lot over the last few years^^

My gosh that's a killer launch. I think I might have to go with COD and AC III. Still undecided on what bundle though. If I thought the wife would play Nintendo Land with me I might go with the premium bundle. Although that plus two games and a pro controller would be quite a big chunk of money..
