The Wii U launched in North America (US and Canada) on November 18th, 2012. Unlike previous consoles, the Wii U launched in North America first, with it launching in Europe and Australia 12 days later, and in Japan three weeks after the US launch.
The Wii U was launched in Australia on November 30th, 2012, 12 days after North America, the same day as Europe, and eight days before Japan.
The Wii U virtual console will be available later in 2013, although virtual console games have started to be released on the eShop as a promotion. As well, virtual console games can be bought from the Wii Shop and played from within the Wii Menu. When these games launch on the Wii U's eShop, you can upgrade any Wii Virtual Console titles you own to the Wii U version at a price. (Currently $1 for NES games, $1.50 for SNES games.)
