UPDATE: The Wii-U Tablet Gamepads will NOT be sold seperatly in USA at first, to help boost Wii-U system production. http://www.ign.com/a...n-north-america But (Farnsworth) good news everybody!: No games take advantage of 2 of the gamepads in the foreseeable release date future (through March) for the Wii-U, so in other words, Nintendo is trying to save you money by not buying a gamepad you don't need.

North America gets it before(!) Japan, apparently, which according to this thread is launching it on December 8th. Europe gets it November 30th, so USA gets the first launch of the system entirely, and Japan gets it last. Nintendo seems to be going backwards for launches with this console.
Also, in the Deluxe Set, We get two things the JPN players do not get. An included copy of Nintendo Land, and the "Deluxe Digital Promotion", which lets you redeem "points for each digital download and redeem those points for future downloadable content from the Nintendo eShop".
