Although Nintendo showed off black Wii U hardware (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=350793) at E3 this month, it's been unclear as to which options will be available at launch.

Or maybe we're reading into it too much.
Although Nintendo's yet to release official launch information and pricing for the console, it's told press it expects consumers to be "pleasantly surprised (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=352878)".
If you missed Nintendo's E3 press conference earlier this month, here's a three minute video summary (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/352075/video-nintendo-conference-in-3-minutes/?cid=OTC-RSS&attr=CVG-General-RSS) cutting out all the boring bits.
