Wii U is “delayed” in Europe until December

32 Comments

CVG is reporting that, due to manufacturing issues, the Wii U will not be released in Europe until early December. Since a release hasn’t been announced at this point, this isn’t really a “delay”, but a November release was apparently “intended”, which isn’t hard to believe.

    Aw, come on! D’:

    Well, there isn’t even a release date, so it’s not delayed. It’s more like “Maybe something is going to happen to a release we don’t know yet.” It’s very vague, I wouldn’t be suprised if this turn out to be a fake

    Let’s all take a step back and wait for Nintendo to confirm this rumor.

      Correct me of im wrong but they didn’t say it’s a rumor so maybe its a hint that it will be coming in November….ill be surprised if it don’t.

  • donzaloog

    I won’t believe it until I hear it from Nintendo.

  • NeonNerd

    I thought Holiday 2012 indicated December anyway?

      December is actually kind of bad for them. They would get much more sales the month before because that’s typically when most people buy Christmas presents.

    Why only in Europe?

      It’s something related to the gamepad according to the rumor. I guess.

    How can you delay something if it had no release date to start with?

  • 9a3eedi

    Better delay it than release it with “red rings”, I say

      or disk read errors and crashes when it reads duel layers disks
      yeah.

      I don’t think anything will change internally, if anything the “manufacturing issues” has to do with availability of parts or something like that. I doubt waiting longer will make the console “work better” when it releases since most likely they won’t be using different parts than they are now.

      That has nothing to do with the delay,this has to do with parts of the console and overall shipment

  • thdgh

    more launch games for Europe then!

    A quick question…if xbox 360 and playstation 3 had powerful graphics cards and suffered from overheating, which is one of the reasons why their bulkiness was essential for cooling, how is Nintendo capable of making a system so tiny yet more powerful than these systems without overheating? Would really love to know!

    • idk

      Isn’t the wiiU very big though,in terms of length and considering its 6 years later there nothing really much special about what your’re saying

    • Seb

      It just better and newer technology than what PS3 and 360 used.

  • Critical Tiger

    Maybe they did not produce enough? Is that considered maufacturing problem..

  • wimpykid456

    That’s why I love America so dang much.

    • Co-Wink-Key dink inc

      Really? Your only reason?

    • wimpykid456

      No, heh.

  • the vita is dead

    This is F.U.D. Nintendo’s not gong to screw up the Wii U’s global release. †
