Late last year, Nintendo president, Satoru Iwata, stated that E3 2012 would involve a re-unveiling for the company’s Wii U console, which was scheduled for release at an unspecified time in 2012.   Speaking with Reuters, Iwata has now confirmed that Nintendo will release the Wii U will be launched in the U.S., Europe, Japan and Australia for the year-end holiday season.   Recent comments by Iwata have also indicated that, after a harsh lesson learnt through the Nintendo 3DS launch, Nintendo plan to have stronger software available at the launch of the Wii U in order to sell the system.   Thus far, a price for the Wii U has not been announced either.
