French site Nintendotown has posted a new batch of Wii U rumors, one of which is rather plausible due to previous comments made by Nintendo.

If some leaked correspondence from a GameStop manager can be taken as truth, it looks as though Wii U may release on November 18. While not confirmed by any means, it would make a it of sense considering Nintendo’s penchant for Sunday release dates, as well as the fact the last two consoles also released in November. This new bit of information follows earlier rumors this week which had it pegged for November 19. Still keep this under your hat as a rumor for now until Nintendo announces a firm release date.

An “unnamed Japanese developer” has told Wii U daily that Nintendo’s next console will contain a quad-core 3GHz PowerPC-based 45nm CPU, 768MB of DRAM “embedded” with the CPU and shared between it and the GPU which is 40nm and ATI-based. Try saying all of that three times really fast while holding your tongue. The site’s source claims to be working on porting a PS3 game to Wii U, and that Nintendo is currently testing another version of the console with 1GB of DRAM embedded with the processor. As usual, just file this away for later use until Nintendo officially announces specs. Thanks, D’toid.
