User blog:Firemandave69/Wii U to be released on the 18th of November

Reggie Fils-Aime, amidst a press briefing in New York City, has revealed that the Wii U will be available in North America from the 18th of November. It’s exactly what we expected, but it’s nice that it’s confirmed. Just in case you had any remaining doubt, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been confirmed for the Wii U. As you can see above, Joystiq snapped a photo of a demo unit from the media briefing in New York City.

There’s three live streams about the Wii U starting in less than thirty-minutes. There’s one stream for the United States. It will have the release date, price, and launch titles for the region. There’s another for Europe with similar information. There’s also a stream for Japan which will focus on first and third-party software.

Whatever you pick, fear not: all the information will be posted to this blog. You can also check after the break for a video message from Reggie Fils-Aime about the event.
