A Wii U midnight launch will be hosted at the Nintendo World store in New York’s Rockefeller Plaza for the November 18 launch in the US.
NOA president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime will be on hand to count down the launch and sell a new Wii U to the first consumer in line.
Fans waiting in line will get premium items while supplies last during the event. Nintendo will also be selling New York-themed T-shirts with Mario’s image at the event, with all proceeds donated to the American Red Cross in support of Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.
Wii U will be offered in two different colors and configurations at launch: the Basic Set in white for $299.99, and the Deluxe Set in black with a higher storage capacity, additional accessories and Nintendo Land for $349.99.
The console launches in Europe on November 30.
