Wii U games will cost $60, hard-drive expandable

Nintendo has confirmed two new Wii U tidbits in New York City.

Speaking to The Verge, a Nintendo representative has said that most Wii U games will have a suggested retail price of $59.99. This is what most PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 games currently cost.

And during an interview with Engadget, Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime said that Wii U’s 8 gigabye and 32 gigabyte flash memory can be expanded with your own alternatives.

“You can plug in a full-on three terabyte hard drive if you want. I’ll love you as a digital consumer,” saids Fils-Aime.

“The reason we did it that way is that the cost of that type of storage memory is plummeting. What we didn’t want to do is tie a profit model to something that’s gonna rapidly decline over time. We’ll let the consumer buy as much as they want, as cheaply as they want.”

Wii U was dated for a November 18 launch today.
