Nintendo has announced the Wii U will launch in Japan on December 8 and will be available in two different models.

The premium set, which is black, will feature 32GB of flash memory. The basic set, which will be white, will feature 8GB of flash memory.

The Premium bundle will cost ¥31,500 and the basic set will cost ¥26,250. Based on the current exchange rate this is approximately US$405 and US$337.

Wii U GamePad will set Japanese gamers back 13,440 yen. That's just over US$170.
