NWR: When we found out that the Wii U was due out this year, an overwhelming majority of people pegged November 18, the Sunday before Black Friday, as the system's release date. After all, Nintendo's big release every year in recent memory has come out on that day. The Wii came out on that day in 2006. The DS came out on that day in 2004. It made sense; it was logical.
"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.

With the sales numbers that they are hoping to pull by Feb/March 2013, I think an October release would be best.
Hopefully, all of the Software is ready (or soon will be).
It would allow more time for people to plan on buying the system for the Holidays.
It's really hard to say how well it will sell in first few months especially not knowing certain information this late in the game. There will be the automatic sales from a low number of Big-N fanatics and enthusiast Ninty gamers, but release date may have a lot to do with numbers by March 2013.
October could help in higher numbers early but at this point it is going to be a surprise to everyone if release is that early. I would be shocked if release was after Black-Friday.
In the end... I think it will sell big numbers just for being the new Nintendo console and the demo it aims at. Add in 3rd party possibilities and future looks pretty good. So far as 3rd party don't duck-n-cover and Nintendo can keep its fan base happy. I give it 6 months to really get rolling.
I wish it would launch in October.
I would love to see the Wii u come out in October just in Time when all the big games comes out
The sooner the better I say but I bet its late November or early December. Thats how it was with Wii. If October can happen then yes. DO IT!
