    22nd November 2012 – The wait is almost over as 30th November marks the launch of the hotly anticipated Wii U. The latest home console from Nintendo boasts more variety of gameplay than ever before. The console incorporates multiple unique features including the Wii U GamePad, which offers a second window into the videogame world. Many of the features that make Wii U unique in the gaming landscape can be seen in the 24 thrilling launch games which are to be made available to purchase as packaged games on the same day the Wii U console hits the market.

    Three launch hardware packs are available to choose from along with the strongest line-up of launch software in Nintendo history.
