Watch: The live stream of Nintendo of Japan’s media briefing about the Wii U

115 Comments

There’s less than twenty minutes until Nintendo of Japan begins their media briefing about the Wii U. You can watch it through the stream above. The word on the street is also that the stream itself is only twenty minutes long, so don’t expect much more than the Japanese release date and price. There is, however, a second broadcast for Japan in a few hours that will focus on software.

    • TheDDiegoz

  • Babymario26

    Im just looking at the colors and the half english words.

  • facetouch

    i like me some mario

  • GamerGuy09

    Does anyway know japanese AT ALL?

    • Lind

      I do, I’m just to lazy to translate it all. It’s hard to pay attention and translate at the same time.

  • GamerGuy09

    Are they saying that they are starting titles for the wii U?

    • Lind

      yes

    • duckypwns

      Seemed like it. I also noticed it said 5750 yen, or something like that, probably indicating that some Wii U games will be $60. (Not saying this is confirmed or anything it just seems like that is the case in my opinion)

  • Bill

    私は実際に私はちょうどそれを言いたかった、理解できませんでした。
    Ok?

    • Lind

      How can you type but yet you don’t understand? what can’t you really understand?

    • Bill

      .私は日本語で書いて翻訳者を使用していました。
      But I didn’t understand the video.

  • galaga_z

    3GB of RAM I believe…Can anyone confirm

    • Wildman

      Only two. 1GB dedicated for games and 1GB for the OS (sheesh!!)

  • GamerGuy09

    What is that? A stand?

  • facetouch

    OOOH red nunchuck!

  • ian

    Any of you bilinguals that understand it, tell us the important stuff after it’s over. kthnxbai.

    • Lind

      I’ll try.

  • facetouch

    included HDMI?

    • Babymario26

      Yes i think thats what he said thats all in the box

    • Michael M

      yup

  • SuperGizmo64

    8gb to 32gb pretty good

  • Bill

    Interesting..
    彼はニューヨークの会議は、より新しいものを持っているかどうかのだろうか何を言っている。

  • SuperGizmo64

    wait nintendo network premuium?

  • turtle

    “Nintendo Network premium” what is that? I hope this isnt like xbox live or psn. god no.

  • GamerGuy09

    We will have to pay for online nintendo?

  • Bill

    Paid Online, Yay!

    • AEM

      How can you enjoy paid online…?

    • Meness

      I think he was being sarcastic.

    • GamerGuy09

      Wait, does that mean we will need to pay for it. Or is it paid for? Which is free?

  • http://www.facebook.com/oliver.cardillo Oliver Andrew Cardillo

    not sure if that’s a good thing or not

  • facetouch

    it looks more like PS+ than xbox live

  • deadmansam

    i hope “nintendo network premium” isn’t like xbox live…

  • Another Ausie

    the whole premium set (32 GB) will be about 450 dollars Australian

  • http://www.stephen-parry.com/ Stephen

    Release date 8th of December…in Japan

  • http://www.facebook.com/oliver.cardillo Oliver Andrew Cardillo

    300 bucks for 32gb!

  • Michael M

    31,500 yen = $400 US dollars.

    • Jacob Saunders

      Which will likelyend up being $350 in the US

    • Lind

      I think so too. Although i think they are making a mistake at pricing it at 350

    • Lind

      Yes but this will most likely be the price outside Japan. So don’t freak yet. Japanese currency is different from the USD and every where else

    • Michael M

      I am aware of that.

  • SuperGizmo64

    its over. i didnt understand any of that lol

  • GamerGuy09

    Did……did it end?

  • facetouch

    And now we wait for the translations…

  • DaManWitDaPlan
  • AEM

    So in the end it’s 450 Dollars for the 32 GB and around 330 Dollars for the 8 GB.

    • Lind

      Wrong. Those prices are for Japan only. We will see U.S and EU pricing later

  • facetouch
  • http://www.facebook.com/asantij Asanti Jackson

    Black Wii U=405$ and White Wii U=341$. Where am i going to find the money?

  • Meness

    Don’t forget things are usually more expensive in Japan than in the U.S…so expect a lower price.

    • Lind

      exactly

  • Michael

    You guys are idiots, all you heard was “Nintendo Network Premium” and now you all assume we have to pay for online despite the fact Nintendo has said in the past they do not want to do that. NNP is probably something similar to PSN Plus.

  • ARTICTHUNDER

    I would say around 299 for the 8GB and 329.99 for the 32GB.

  • trueavenger12

    I didn’t understand any of that(with the exception of a few words)so I’ll be waiting for the U.S. one.No sleep for me.

    • Sonicpik3

      how much time from now for the U.S. one?

    • trueavenger12

      10:00 Am East coast time.(I think)

  • Meness

    @disqus_Nw5qDD0RVd:disqus what was the nintendo network premium thing about?
