Everyone might have been watching today’s (tonight’s?) Nintendo Direct for some solid information on the Wii U launch, but we also have confirmation from the European presentation that Shinen’s top-down shooter will be coming to the Wii U as a downloadable title. It will be headlining the console’s download-exclusive titles and launch alongside Toki Tori 2 and Trine 2: Director’s Cut.

Update: Reggie just confirmed at the New York City conference that this is a Wii U exclusive and Nintendo will publish.

A new Bayonetta game has been rumored for ages now. Here’s a surprise – a sequel is in the works, and it’s coming to Wii U. The news was revealed by Satoru Iwata during a Nintendo Direct.

We should have a teaser trailer soon.

According to Satoru Shibata, the Wii U will be launching around Europe on November 30th. Because of the differences in pricing around Europe, no prices for the consoles were given.

Though the game won’t be included with the console in Japan, Nintendo of Europe’s Satoru Shibata has confirmed that Nintendo Land will be offered for free with the Premium version of the Wii U in Europe. As well as additional storage capacity, a HDMI cable and AC Adaptor, the European version of the Wii U will be bundled with a copy of the game.

The bundle has also been confirmed for the US.

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.
