An anonymous retailer has told Kotaku that the Wii U will be released in Australia on December 6th. This date is a Thursday, which would make sense schedule-wise, and the Wii was released on December 7th, so there’s that connection too. This sounds like a fairly solid bet to me, but it’s still definitely a rumour.

      In other news, a completely new type of mammal has been discovered. It has been temporarily named as a Kangaroo, but this may change.

    Wii was released in early November! Not December.

      You do realize games and systems have many release dates depending on the country.

      You’re one of those scumbags who don’t even acknowledge the fact that not EVERYONE is in that stupid retarded place you call America.

    Kotaku said Versus XIII was cancelled, that didn’t turn out true. Honestly Kotaku has been going down hill since Crecente and Mcwhetor left.

    Polygon and The Verge all the way :)

    I love how you put a kangaroo there instead of, like, a map of Australia or a flag.

    Can someone answer my question? No one has been able to answer this and I would like to know cause from this, it’ll depend on me buying the WiiU (I still think it’s a stupid name but whatever) anyway, I want to know if I need Wii remotes to fully enjoy the experience, I don’t have a Wii ergo no Wii remotes nor anything, do I need ‘em to fully enjoy the WiiU experience?

    • no

      no

  • Vulpix

    Cool kangaroo and yay for the Aussies I think.
