Nintendo Wii U Launched Today

The Wii U is now available in stores, perfectly times for the holiday shoppers. The new console from Nintendo comes in two formats, 8gb and 32gb in black or white. With a price point of $299.99 and $349.99, it may be a pricey gift this Christmas. The console comes with a giant GamePad controller.

It looks like you will need to purchase all new accessories, as none of the Wii-motes or nunchuks from the first generation of the Wii console will work with the Wii U. The prices for the controllers are the same (Wii U remote - $44.99, Wii U nunchuk - $24.99, Wii U Pro Controller - $49.99), but it seems like a steep price to pay. Games start at $59.99. I think I might wait until the prices go down, as I'm not too sure about the GamePad! The Wii U is backwards compatible so you will still be able to play your games from your Wii.

Are you planning to purchase a Wii U? You might not have to - I currently have a contest on my blog here where you can win a Wii U!
