Well GWN is now trying to cover their butts

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I can't believe you Nintenjerks are still sitting here waiting for your precious megaton!

I predict:
- two new games: Super Paper Mario and Mario Party 8
- watch for our next big announcement in October!
That's my opinion, not yours.

Well I'm just expecting the release date and the price, so anything else that might come out of this would be gravy (be nice if we knew more about the virtual console aspect, for example.

I predict Zelda TP is cancelled, work on the real Zelda Wii is underway and it will be "coming soon" only to be cancelled in mid-2009 after Nintendo goes bankrupt.

Anyway only FIVE MINUTES TO GO OMG!!!!!!!!! FIVE MINUTES until there's only 1 hour and 40 minutes left! AUAHUHAUHA

gwn.com and codenamerevolution.com are both reporting that some New York times writer allegedly know the price and release date of Wii.

Said reporter says Nov. 19th @ $250.
