<p>Before it&#8217;s too late, I wanted to give you a tip for the very much anticipated Wii U.<br />
Set to be released mid-November, the Wii is already surprising people by selling out in the pre-orders! It&#8217;s only been a couple days since the pre-orders opened up for the Wii U and already it is getting tough to grab them because they are going so fast.</p>
<p>So &#8211; here is the deal…<br />
From what I understand, you can go to your LOCAL <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Video-Games/Wii-U/pcmcat273800050036.c?id=pcmcat273800050036" target="_blank">Best Buy store</a> and get your name on the pre-order list for 5 bucks… As far as I know the pre-orders aren&#8217;t available on Best Buy&#8217;s website anymore.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u" target="_blank">GameStop is also offering pre-orders</a> if you walk into their store &#8211; but, it will cost you $50 to get one put on hold.</p>
<p>There will be two models released &#8211; a $299 model with eight GB of RAM and a $349 model with 32 GB of RAM and is set to launch November 18th in the US, November 30 in Europe, and December 8th in Japan.</p>
<p>In an interview with the GamesIndustry, the CEO of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime says, &#8220;We&#8217;ve announced the price and we have a number of retailers taking pre-orders and the feedback that I&#8217;m getting from retailers is extremely strong in terms of pre-sales and consumer excitement at the store,&#8221;</p>
<p>You can bet that we&#8217;ll be watching the Wii U in the 2012 Holiday Toy Guide… if you want to follow along &#8211; and find out what else is expected to be hot this year I have just opened up a PREsale to my readers. This year, you can save big time because not only am I able to drop the price by $30 for the GOLD membership (making it regularly $67 instead of last year&#8217;s $97), but, if you get in on preordering the 2012 Holiday Toy Guide before October 1st, you will save another 20 bucks!</p>{"id":382,"date":"2012-09-15T22:20:08","date_gmt":"2012-09-16T06:20:08","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/?p=382"},"modified":"2012-09-15T22:20:08","modified_gmt":"2012-09-16T06:20:08","slug":"the-wii-u-is-hot-and-it-isnt-even-released","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/jennihunt.com\/blog\/the-wii-u-is-hot-and-it-isnt-even-released\/","title":{"rendered":"The Wii U is HOT and it isn&#8217;t even released!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2012\/09\/wii_u_pre_order_guide\/attachment\/0\/medium.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" title=\"Wii U\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2012\/09\/wii_u_pre_order_guide\/attachment\/0\/medium.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a>The Wii U is HOT and it isn&#8217;t even released!<\/p>\n<p>Before it&#8217;s too late, I wanted to give you a tip for the very much anticipated Wii U.<br \/>\nSet to be released mid-November, the Wii is already surprising people by selling out in the pre-orders!
