Likewise, the Wii U will not run original GameCube discs.Speaking to Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5944545/10-gamecube-games-that-should-be-downloadable-on-wii-u), the NOA boss showed that he at least is in favour of replacing the feature via digital downloads: "Personally I would love for that to happen," he said, "but we have nothing to announce right now."
Nintendo has confirmed a November Wii U release date (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/368202/wii-u-european-release-date-is-november-30/) for the US and Europe, with the US Wii U price (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/368206/wii-u-starts-at-299-in-the-us/) set at $299 for the Basic model and $349 for the Premium one.
At UK retail the Wii U price (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=368292) currently lies at around £250 for the Basic unit and £290 to £300 for the Premium unit.
