User blog:J. Severe/Nintendo announces Wii U Press Event for September 13th

Nintendo announced today that they will hold a special Wii U press event in New York City on September 13, 2012, hosted by NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime. An invitation sent to select media outlets today promised that it would let us learn "more about how the Wii U will change the future of gaming and entertainment." This major event is also where the price and release date of the system are expected to be revealed, as well as the first looks at Wii U titles coming out beyond the launch window.

For reference, the Wii had a similar press event held on September 14, 2006. Also notably, Apple will be holding a press conference the day before, so media comparisons between the iPhone 5/whatever and the GamePad are imminent.
