Nintendo of America is planning to release details of their upcoming Wii U console, including release date and pricing, but there is another pair of events happening in Japan.<\/p>\n
At 10am ET there will be the live conference for North America, but in Japan there will be a separate conference announcing new Wii U titles at the same time. <\/p>\n
There will be a conference before that detailing price and release date for Japan which will happen at 4pm JST.
