First Japanese details are out.
Release: 8th December in japan
2 versions, one with 8GB memory, the other with 32GB memory.
The 8 GB one costs 26,250 yen (~$335, £210)
32GB one costs 31500 yen (~$405, £250)
At this point, I would point out to nintendo that they announced SD card support in the same vein as the 3DS (i.e. can boot anything directly from it), and a 32 GB SD card costs a lot less than $70.
Also announced an online subscription thing, possibly in the vein of playstation plus.
No bundle of any game in japan. However, they didn't get a wii sports bundle either, when the rest of the world did, so still waiting on that.
Edit: First few details on the premium thing from gonintendo.
- Nintendo Network Premium runs through 12/2014. Premium includes controller stands.
- Nintendo Network Premium provides points for purchases, 10% back on digital purchases.
Nintendo Network Premium
- discount point program available only with the Wii U Premium Set
- focus on those who like to download a lot of content
