Nikkei has apparently leaked the price of the Wii U a day before the Nintendo press conference. According to a report translated by Andriasang, Nintendo is set to price their next home console at 30,000 yen, which is around $380 USD.

This isn’t a confirmed price yet, but it does stick with much of the speculation surrounding the console. One more thing to remember about this report is that Nintendo traditionally places their hardware at a slightly higher price in their home territory, which would likely leave the Wii U with a $350 price in North America.

We should know the official price tag by tomorrow morning.
