The Wii U launches in Australia this week! Find out what software will be available on day one. 
A new console complete with exclusive titles will be arriving for Aussie gamers this week! Nintendo“s new console, the Wii U, goes on sale from November 30, with retailer EB Games opening stores at midnight for gamers who wish to pick up their pre-order as soon as possible.
The Wii U basic model pack will come with an 8GB console, a Wii U GamePad, an AC adapter, an HDMI cable, and a sensor bar. The Wii U premium model pack will include everything from the basic set, as well as additional memory (32GB in total), a stand for the console and GamePad, a charging cradle for the GamePad, and a copy of Nintendo Land.
The 8GB basic model will be available in white, and will cost A$349.95, while the 32GB premium model and peripherals are built in a black shell. The premium kit will retail for A$429.95.
Wii U-exclusive titles available at launch include platformer New Super Mario Bros U, survival horror game ZombiU, and party title Nintendo Land.
Platform game New Super Mario Bros U was released to positive reception, praised for its incorporation of classic elements of the series with innovative level design.
On the other end of the spectrum, fear-fuelled first-person shooter game ZombiU is a game designed to take advantage of the Wii U“s touch-pad interface. The game boasts multiplayer modes and permanent character death, allowing the player to assume the role of various survivors throughout.
For those who are a little less inclined to pick up a new console, Ubisoft“s open-world action title Far Cry 3 will be out this Thursday. The game will cast players as Jason Brody, a man stranded on a strange tropical island similar to the setting of the first Far Cry. Gamers will head out into this beautiful, but unforgiving, place, as they battle to stay alive.
