Nintendo's next console Wii U will launch in the US on Sunday, 18th November, according to a leaked internal memo from a Japanese retailer. Which is 1 day before when the Wii was launched. Thoughts?

Hm, sounds reasonable to a degree since it's one day before the Wii was released, but then again it sounds too "obvious"
The source of this rumor is also in question apparently, so we'll just have to wait and see. However, assuming the Wii U will appear at E3 this summer (which it will), then this date does sound very reasonable

No words can describe my happiness.

Well I think some games are being released in October, so it wouldn't make sense for the actual console to be released afterwards.

They can be pushed back, though.

Does it blend?
Or come with Pikmin 3?

Could make sense, it'd be on a Sunday and that's usually when Nintendo's biggest releases come out.

Still, it doesn't really matter, does it? All we need to know is that it will be released later this year.
