Japanese consumers lined up big time for the Pikachu 3DS XL yesterday. At one point, Inside Games recorded over 300 people at 10 AM – with more fans piling in later. It took four hours for everyone to be processed.

These lines were only for pre-orders. The actual system won’t go on sale until August 25. But the strong support isn’t too surprising as the special 3DS XL can only be purchased with a pre-order.

There have been some pretty crazy Wii U release date rumors before… but this latest one may take the cake.

Apparently Burger King will be receiving toys relating to the Wii U on October 25. That has sparked speculation that the console could launch in late October or early November.

I still personally believe that the Wii U will release in mid to late November. But with Nintendo, you never know!

Thanks to Lars Havnes for the tip.
