Just in time for the Christmas holidays, Nintendo are releasing three new Wii U bundles throughout November.

The official Nintendo store have placed listings for three new Wii U bundles, making their way to the market in November, just in time for those Christmas shoppers.

NEWS: PS4 Games - Will More Than Likely Cost £55-£60

Online retailer ShopTo have given various details on the suggested pricing of first party PS4 titles, along with numerous hardware items.

The website says "It's been revealed that the suggested retail price of PlayStation published games for PS4 is £59.99 and £54.99."

With no indication of an official source regarding that information, I wouldn't say these prices are concrete just yet, but are more than likely to be very accurate.

Straight from the horse's mouth, here are the reported prices for PS4 games and hardware:

Dual Shock 4 - SRP £54.99
Camera - SRP £54.99

Knack - SRP £54.99
DriveClub - SRP £59.99
Killzone - SRP £59.99

PS4 Stand - SRP £15.99
Charging Unit - SRP £24.99

With that said, keep in mind different retailers will give different prices - that may change depending on certain deals, offers, and console bundles.

From personal experience, if you're willing to wait a while before you get your hands on a newly launched game, the price will go down after a few weeks or so.

Supermarkets such as Morrisons, Asda, Tesco, etc will often release games at a cheaper price compared to official gaming retail outlets.

Are you willing to splash out practically £60 for a game? Comment below.

FEATURE: PlayStation 4 - Launch Prices and Games

The 29th of November is still quite a while away, but to give you an idea what's being launched with the PlayStation 4, I'd like to go through the various bundles you can pre-order and the games that will be available from day one. The information is based on the UK release.

In terms of launch prices, everywhere is practically the same, you might save a few pennies depending on where you buy, but nothing substantial. No matter where you decide to buy your PS4, each bundle will typically include the console with a 500GB hard drive, a DualShock 4 wireless controller, a wired headset, a HDMI cable, a power cable, a USB charger, and it has been announced that a 14-day PS+ trial will be thrown in. Here are the launch prices so far.

• Amazon UK - £349.00
• Zavvi - £348.95
• Play - £349.00
• Argos - £349.00
• ShopTo - £348.98
• Game - £349.99

As you can see, there is little difference no matter where you go, however there are two exclusive deals at Game - you can buy the console with the prestige edition of Call of Duty: Ghosts. Here's what you get.

• 1080p HD Tactical Camera
• Season Pass
• Paracord Strap
• Collectible Steel Book
• Player Patch
• Player Card
• Player Background
• Official Soundtrack
• Free Fall Map

The other bundle offer is the console with the games Killzone: Shadow Fall and DriveClub - the price hasn't yet been announced, but from my estimates that should come to around £450-£470.

Let's get onto the launch titles and what you are able to play on day one of the release. 

Launch Games - Physical and Digital Releases (Total: 17)

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag

Battlefield 4

Call of Duty: Ghosts

So there you have it, I can safely say the launch of the PS4 seems much more appealing than the PS3 launch way back in March 2007, sure it had Resistance: Fall of Man and Motorstorm, but the line-up for PS4 seems so much better. 

The physical launch games will retail around £45-£50 - as for the digital-only games, it's difficult to say a price as these sorts of  games more than always vary in price depending on the game, but I'd say they could be as cheap as £5-10 or up to £20-25. Feature1
