We know this much: Nintendo plans to launch its next game console ???the Wii U ? sometime later this year. What the game giant has refused to reveal?is when,?exactly, the machine with the touchscreen controller will arrive in stores ... and?how much it will cost for that matter.

But according to what looks to be a?pretty reliable leak, Mario's maker will be putting the Wii U on shelves starting Nov. 18.

Game blog Kotaku reports that gaming accessory-maker PDP accidentally spilled the beans?at a GameStop managers' conference. A tipster who attended the conference told Kotaku that the PDP representative?wrapped up?their presentation by saying their products would be in stores?just before the Wii U's Nov. 18 release date.

Whoops.?

The report was then?corroborated?by this NeoGAF post which told the same foot-in-mouth tale.

We'll likely get official word on the launch date and price on Sept. 13, when Nintendo is hosting?a Wii U preview event?in New York.

Meanwhile, if you want an advance look at the Wii U, check out?InGame editor Todd Kenreck's preview video below and take a look at some of the games it will play here.
