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.

As soon as the Wii U hits store shelves, you’ll be able to purchase retail titles through the eShop. Both New Super Mario Bros. U and Nintendo Land will be available as downloads. Of course, you can grab these titles in stores as well.

The big news coming out of the first Japanese Wii U presentation concerned the console’s release date and price. Prior to this announcement though, Satoru Iwata priced a couple of controllers, accessories, and games. We have information on each below.

Controllers

GamePad – 13,440 yen (includes adapter)
Pro Controller – 5,040 yen

Accessories

GamePad stand – 315 yen
Charge and Play stand – 1,890 yen

Games

New Super Mario Bros. U – 5,985 yen
Nintendo Land – 4,935 yen

So… yeah. Looks like Nintendo Land won’t be bundled with the console – at least in Japan.
