Fall conference to reveal Wii U launch date, price, 2013 games

Update: We’re back to square one, in a way. The original tweet was an error. Rather than mentioning September specifically, Nintendo is only confirming that a conference will be held this fall.

An investor attending Nintendo’s annual shareholder’s meeting reports that Nintendo will hold a conference in September to reveal Wii U launch information. The console’s price and launch date are expected to be shared during the event.

Additionally, Nintendo is rumored to be discussing titles coming out in 2013. That likely means more details would be provided for games such as Project P-100 and Pikmin 3. It’s unclear if brand new title announcements would be made.

A translation of the investor’s message reads:

“Nintendo plans to reveal the launch day and price at September, and not just the launch titles, also the titles for 2013 will be revealed at that time”

Nintendo has said on many occasions that the Wii U’s launch information would be announced at a separate event in the future. A September conference would definitely make sense. Although we don’t have a complete confirmation of this rumor, it has a very high chance of being legitimate.
