Nintendo will launch Wii U (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/games/12079/wii-u/) with a price tag of around 30,000 yen (£249/$383).

Nintendo is due to showcase the final Wii U hardware during its E3 press conference tomorrow afternoon, but has said (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/345485/no-wii-u-price-announcement-at-e3/) it'll be saving a price announcement for later in the year.
The newspaper also claims Nintendo will reveal a new larger 3DS at the conference tomorrow (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/351115/new-larger-3ds-xl-announcement-tomorrow/).
Nintendo kicked off its E3 offerings last night with a surprise Sunday Nintendo Direct broadcast, showing off the first footage of Mario Wii U and announcing the Miiverse online feature. If you didn't stay up late to see it all unfold you can watch the broadcast again via our Nintendo pre-E3 broadcast: As it happened article (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/350744/live-stream/nintendo-pre-e3-broadcast-as-it-happened/). Enjoy.
