The new Wii is called the Wii U. It's coming out in America on November 18 and will cost $299, not counting hidden costs.


Nintendo blasted out a ton of news about it today. But they didn't tell us everything.

Here's What We Know


Here's What We Don't Know (Yet)

Which games are actually coming out on launch day, other than Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U?

The cost of a second GamePad. No launch games appear to support one, but the system can. Maybe Nintendo held this back from America after revealing that an extra GamePad will cost an extraordinary half of the cost of a basic Wii U bundle in Japan

The cost of Wii Remote Pluses? These will be required for multiplayer in Nintendo Land games and will be the preferred controller option, along with the Wii Nunchuk, for many games. Remote Pluses go for $40 now. The tech is getting old, so maybe Nintendo will cut people a break? Or they'll assume they have them from their Wiis.
