Marc Franklin, Director of Public Relations for Nintendo of America was interviewed by NintendoWorldReport about when we will see the launch of the Nintendo Wii U.
Franklin reiterated that the system will be released in 2012. It has been mentioned that the Wii U might be released in mid-2012 but now the release date for the system remains further unclear.
Marc Franklin said:
“The system is launching in 2012 between April 1st and the end of December. So not this fiscal year, the next and it will ship in 2012.”
This means there’s a possibility that we won’t see the Wii U until late 2012. If this is the case, then I guess this gives game developers more time to work on their games for the launch of the system.
