US Release Date for Wii U Leaked?

A Tokyo store may have inadvertently leaked the US release date for the Wii U; according to a memo that was circulating at the Tokyo retailer November 18 will be the US release date for the Nintendo Wii U. The system will then release a week later in Japan, but there is no mention of a European or international release date. As of right now this is still just a rumor as Nintendo has not confirmed or denied this release date. However, November 18 is around the same time the original Nintendo Wii released, November 19 and both are on a Sunday. The date sounds about right as November is usually the month you want to release major games and consoles because of the Christmas rush. In other words, even though this is just a rumor it sounds fairly legit and I wouldn't be surprised to see November 18 announced as the official release date for the Wii U. We will know more when E3 hits because Nintendo is set to showcase the system for a second time. Although this time they will go into much more depth about the Wii U spec wise and it's true capability. E3 is also when Nintendo is expected to finally announce the official release date for the system. What do you think, does November 18 sound about right for the Nintendo Wii U release date or do you think it will be coming sooner?
