Earlier today, Nintendo revealed Japanese launch information for Wii U. The company has now followed that up with US-specific details.

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced November 18 launch date for the console.

Just like Japan, two bundles will be available. The Deluxe set ($349.99) offers 32GB of memory, the console, GamePad, AC adapter, HDMI cable, stands, and Nintendo Land. The Basic set ($299.99) is essentially the 8GB console.

One Wii U game “announcement” has made it out before the start of the next three presentations.

Joystiq snapped a photo of a demo unit in New York City showing Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The game will presumably be playable following today’s conference.

I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot about the Wii U version shortly, so look forward to that!

Anyone care to watch three Wii U presentations at once? Then take a look below for links!

1. Watch the US event here.
2. Watch the European event here.
3. Watch the Japanese event here (first and third-party games).

The fun begins in a half hour – 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT. We’ll try to cover as much as we possibly can. Since three events are scheduled at once though, that makes things extremely difficult.

Here’s another tidbit about the Nintendo Network Premium program – the points you get back won’t be constant. Publishers will decide how many points are handed out with download purchases. In the end, this probably makes sense.

Japanese consumers who are interested in the Wii U but never owned a Wii will be able to purchase a new bundle of sorts that contains a bunch of accessories.

For 5,250 yen (roughly $67), you can get a Wii Remote Plus, nunchuck, and sensor bar.

Since so many Wii U games will work with the Wiimote (and nunchuck), this would be a smart-buy for non-Wii users.
