GameStop to Air September Wii U Conference?

This rumor comes from a YouTuber who goes by the name of "Jodecideion." While that may kill any credibility the rumor has, let me just say that I've known this YouTuber for a couple of years now and he has never made a false claim just to get views.

Now that that has been said, supposedly he got this information from a "good friend" of his who is a Gamestop manager. According to the manager, he and other GS higher-ups were informed at a holder's meeting that Nintendo and GameStop struck a deal to air their conference.

Whether the conference is to be aired live or just a recording of it is being shown remains to be unclear, but either way, it would be a very interesting thing to see if this rumor hold true.

I will update this story if further information is released. Stick around.

I'm still wonder what there going to show besides the price and release date.
A perfect Nintendo Direct conference-
1) Price and release date
2) Retro's game
3) More third party games
4) Talk more about Wii U's Nintendo Network
5) More possible Wii U features

I think games are more unlikely but there is a possibly they could show Wii U features and the launch line up.

$299.99-$349.99 Is what I think of the price.

Release Date I predict Between November 10 to December 10.

Also Shokio stated it might release on Nov.16 in his prediction. and
I also find that it just might be that day.

It kind of makes sense since the DS, gamecube and wii launched around that time.

Nov 18 or 16 could be the date and it will most likely be on a Sunday

I have no Clue. its always before school time

Sundays gives you the advantage to pick up your console before the church worshippers xD

Couldn't this be easily confirmed or denied by asking a GameStop manager ourselves? Or is it one of those "hush hush, company information" type deals?

Well I once asked a GameStop manager about why the Wii U launch date hasn't been announced. He told me that Nintendo is having a little bit of production issues. Sorta how they has issues making units with the Wii.

I don't even know if he should have told me such information.

I remember this summer a couple GameStop employees (one of them a manager) told me that they didn't think the Wii U was going to debut this year because they didn't get ANY info on orders, etc, and normally those are set up for consoles something like 9 months in advance (or something like that, I don't remember exactly what they said).

Well considering the Wii U is confirmed to be out this holiday... THEY'RE WRONG!!! (Shokio joke haha)

I feel like this whole forum is going to dissolve into a spamfest of Shokio references.

Not really unless someone talks about Jira-I mean yeah.

it could probably release in october

It's possible.

Man, leaving this so close to release is going to make pre-orders bat shit crazy. I feel bad for any employers at any game store. They will get plumbed by the crazed mob.

My money is ready.

Our wallets are ready

Great news: It's definitely not 599USD!

People cry about Wii U having no Hard drive.

IT'S A GOOD THING PEOPLE! IT MADE THE SYSTEM CHEAPER!

The Wii U will definetly be 300 or 350

Im hoping for 300, but prepared/expecting for 350. My wallet is has never been more ready.

$400 is definetly not the price

I would certainly hope not... but I wont lie..I would still buy one.
