Wii U Release Date and Prices Announced! UPDATED

By -
So, Nintendo has finally announce the launch date and prices (yes, prices) of the Wii U and other stuff.... so lets get down to it!

Read about it all after the jump!
Launch Date is November 18 in the US.

$299 you will get the system in white, Gamepad (the tablet controller), 8GB on board memory, AC adapter, controller, sensor bar, and an HDMI cable.

$349 will get you the above as well as:  The system in Black, 32GB on board memory (!!!!), Console Stand, Charging Cradle for the Gamepad, Nintendo Land, and membership into a club for Digital Download discounts until 2014.

Your Wii accesories will work here, so keep them charged!

Now what sucks?

Games will be $59.99, Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive, and no additional Gamepads for sale in the US yet!

Also, Nintendo will allow transferring goodies from the Wii to the Wii U, so DO NOT jump on GameStop's $50 trade in value towards the Wii U...

So there you have it...

Update!

Greeting Geeks, In case you haven't checked it out yet, Nickelodeon has released their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. As a general disclaimer: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHAEL BAY'S TURTLES PROJECT . To put it simply, it's Teen Titans meets Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003). To put it more complexly...well...you'll have to hit the jump for that.

Updated: Question: Should A Cosplayer Be Kicked Out Of PAX East For Doing Her Job?

By -

Day 1 Left, Day 2 Right Just to be clear, Jessica Nigri was asked to leave and change, she was allowed back in... But on day 1 of PAX east, she went dressed as Lollipop Chainsaw's star, Juliet Starling, without issue. Day 2 she went dressed as the same character in one of the multiple alt costumes and asked to leave to change. She returned in the cheerleader uniform from day 1 she was asked to change again, cover up, or leave entirely! Did I mention she was at the WB Games booth and is the official character model for the game? So what's the point of this post? Most of the Grotto staff come from a place in the US where people can go grocery shopping wearing A LOT less than what Nigri had on! Now if she were dressed in one of the alternate costumes from Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball, then I can understand the issue. What do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below or on Google+ and after the break, see Nigri's Day 3 costume! Updated 4/9/2012: Added
