Nov. 3 is the launch date.

Why you ask?

Because I said it is.

Michael8983 · « **Reply #226 on:** September 02, 2006, 10:26:01 PM »

My prediction. Wii gets delayed until 2007. *runs for cover before the rocks are tossed*

No, seriously, I'm quite sure it will be within the first week of November if not the last week of October.

*Hurls bus*
Dodge that.

Anyways. You know if Reggie was like the Kool-aid man and not Mr. Rogers...

I would like to state this here.

THERE IS NO 360 PRICE CUT. <-(period)

Microsoft is very happy with the price is at at the moment and states time and time again that it will not be dropping the price anytime in the near future.

Hmm. . . I've had some interesting speculation given to me. Tony Hawk Downhill Jam for Nintendo DS comes out on October 24th.

Obviouslly this isn't conclusive at all. But historically, I believe the recent Tony Hawk games have had universal launch dates across platforms and DJ is supposed to be a launch title for Wii. . . It seems highly possible then that Oct. 24th could be Wii's launch day. Again, though, I'm quite aware that it's far from conclusive.

Good for speculation though.

OMG!!!!1 WII ON TEH 24TH 4 REALZ 4 SUR3 MEGATON!!!

I'd say it seems highly possible that the Wii's launch date is after October 24th would be a better use of that information.

They could easily pick a date for the game, find out that Wii won't be out by then, and hold back just the Wii version. Delaying all versions just so they launch at the same time would be silly.

WalkingTheCow · « **Reply #230 on:** September 05, 2006, 08:32:31 AM »

At the same time though all versions of Tony Hawk American Wasteland and American Sk8tland (GBA) were released on the same day, and I'm sure somewhere there was a version or two that was done well before the others.

Of course it's very possible you're right. Just getting all the possibilities out there.

JonLeung · « **Reply #231 on:** September 05, 2006, 09:39:13 AM »

Today, it's 75 days until Pale gets his Wii (on Nov. 19).

Remember when it was 100 days 'til then? See, we're already a quarter way there (from back then)! Or at least approximately. If it's sooner than mid-to-late November, even better.

God I hope we get it in October... my bought-a-month-after-launch Gamecube has finally given up the ghost, and I can't bring myself to buy another this soon to the Wiivolution.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #233 on:** September 06, 2006, 07:13:52 PM »

Jason: I know what you mean. My Gamecube controllers are going out...and I don't want to buy new ones if I can use the Wii Classic Controller for Gamecube games. I will wait and buy 4 of the them.

EDIT:

I wish Nintendo would just plan their events by what we say Reggie should do. Seriously, Reggie should be like:

"At the press conference I should enter by busting down a fake wall, screaming MASSIVE DAMAGE!!!"

"But why?"

Reggie: "Because the internet nerds think I am like god or something."

Ceric · « **Reply #234 on:** September 06, 2006, 07:26:23 PM »

He does have a SeaMonster he is planning to invade Europe with... I'm sure of this...

Strell · « **Reply #235 on:** September 06, 2006, 07:57:57 PM »

No, Spak. No.

Reggie would never say that. He would merely confirm that he is a god, not like one.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #236 on:** September 06, 2006, 08:53:39 PM »

Reggie saying MASSIVE DAMAGE and stepping on a crab onstage would rule.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #237 on:** September 07, 2006, 05:14:17 AM »

As per usual, I think Reggie is overrated. And while I'm making enemies, October launch is a lie parents tell their children to make them go to bed. I wildly predict:

November 2nd for Japan
November 12th for U.S.
December 3rd for Europe + Australia.

trip1eX · « **Reply #238 on:** September 07, 2006, 05:39:35 AM »

It would seem that the cross-country 'Wii tour' means the Wii won't be out til November since that tour goes on 'til early November.

JonLeung · « **Reply #239 on:** September 07, 2006, 08:27:35 AM »

NOVEMBER 12TH, 2006.

Barring some early release surprise, that sounds most logical to me.

That's two days before my brother's birthday, one day before the girl I like's birthday, a rumoured date according to IGN, a Sunday, it's before the PS3 launch, it's before American Thanksgiving, and it's only 66 days away now...

Captain Z · « **Reply #240 on:** September 08, 2006, 03:21:34 PM »

Looking back, every Nintendo hardware release in the United States since the GameCube were released on a Sunday:

DS Lite - June 11th, 2006
GameBoy Micro - Oct. 2nd, 2005
DS - Nov. 21st, 2004
GameBoy Adv. SP - Mar. 23rd, 2003
GameCube - Nov. 18th, 2001

Keeping that in mind, while I think it's possible that the Wii launch could be in October, I find it unlikely. If it is in October, it'll be at the very end, probably October 29th. A much more likely scenerio seems like a November 5th or 12th launch.

The Wii will launch*somewhere* between the 24th and the 25th of September. Believe with extreme confidence!

(You have been informed. Save your money and plan your vacations accordingly!)

*somewhere has a double meaning but it's still true, how many times have I been wrong in the past...

Somewhere between September 24th 2006 and September 25th 2007?

Wii Launch on the 24.5 of September!!!!!

I'm about to go all in...

I'm so sure that I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is! If the Nintendo W¡¡™ doesn't launch "somewhere" between September 24th and September 25th, 2006 I will buy 1 launch title or 2 DS titles for anyone who dares to take my challenge (up to 2 people, I'm not rich).

Why are the Is in your "Wii" lower? Subscript or whatever?

Does the Wii =/= W¡¡?

Now I am stuck trying to figure out the riddle. You don't know the actual launch date...so you have created a riddle with double meaning.

You didn't put a specific date on September 24th 2006...so you could say that meant 2007 but unlikely.

Launch could mean boot up. Is there a trade show on the 24th or 25th with playable Wii games...perhaps TGS?

Somewhere could also just mean anywhere. And you could argue that someone in Nintendo/Media/developers will have fully functional Wiis by September 24th and in that regard it has launched...somewhere.

Which one of these is it?
