UPDATE

Nintendo has issued a statement , as translated by Andriasang , denying Nikkei's report, claiming the story is "full of mistakes" and is "nothing more than conjecture."

We'll see if any part of Nikkei's reporting is true tomorrow at 9am PT!Japanese news giant Nikkei almost always get a major scoop or two on Nintendo's plans the day before the company's E3 press conference each year, and this year appears to be no different – the paper is reporting that it knows the Wii U launch price.30,000 yen. That converts to about $383 in U.S. dollars, £249 in British pounds or €306 Euros, by today's exchange rates.The information comes to us via Andriasang , responsible for translating the original report. According to them, Nikkei's sources for stating this price point are unclear – the paper could have received an inside tip, or it could simply be throwing out a likely number.It may be a while before we find out whether this price report turns out to be accurate or not, though, as Nintendo has previously stated that no information on price or other details of the Wii U launch will be discussed at this year's E3.
