Nintendo Planning Larger 3DS, Wii U Price Expected at 30,000 Yen -- Nikkei

Just ahead of Nintendo's E3 press conference tomorrow, Nikkei is reporting on a couple of announcements regarding 3DS and Wii U.

For 3DS, the paper says that Nintendo will announce a large screen version of the system. The new version will have a 4.3 inch screen, or 1.5 times the current size. A release in North America, Japan and Europe could happen as early as Summer.

Regarding the Wii U, Nikkei says that it is expected the price will be around 30,000 yen. It's unclear if the paper received any insider information about this price, or if it's just stating an obvious target.

As a comparison, PlayStation 3's 160GB model has an MSRP of ¥24,980. Wii's MSRP is ¥20,000.

Nintendo has previously said that it would not share pricing information about Wii U at E3.

The paper also reports that Wii U will see distribution of non-game content, including a car navigator, books, and a karaoke service with around 10,000 songs.

I don't know why I'm thinking this, but I may just preorder this console. Honestly, I'm more than pleased with this generation's graphics (360 and ps3), and if the WiiU is even just a bit better than those, I'm happy.

If 3rd parties come on board now that the WiiU Pro controller was shown, add in the great first-party franchises, then that works for me. With a soon-to-be 4 year old, I find myself on the Wii right now more than the 360. The only thing I use the 360 for currently is NBA 2k12, and 2k13 will be on the WiiU as well as I'm assuming Netflix, Hulu+, etc.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'll be paying close attention tomorrow. I may just be all-in with Nintendo soon between this and the 3DS.

Wow... a full hour devoted to 3DS games... that's how you should treat the Vita Sony...

Re: Nintendo E3 2012 Discussion

Looks like they're getting some decent "non kid" games on the U:

Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Mass Effect 3
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

The new Lego game is the only thing shown so far that even slightly interests me.

Lego City looked good.
