Nintendo of America has distributed invitations to select members of the press, in preparation for a special Nintendo event which will be held on September 14th, with NOA president, Reggie Fils-Aime.

This just sounds like a bunch of playable games for the press to play, but we can hype it up anyway.

Nintendo will announce Yoshi's Tilt n' Tumble 2 and a version of Super Paper Mario for Wii!

Ceric · « **Reply #4 on:** August 23, 2006, 04:04:50 AM »

The New Super Paper Mario!

We aren't going to get any launch type announcements from this. Though we will probably get updates for all of the launch titles hopefully. (Especially hoping for more in-depth Project H.A.M.M.E.R. information)

couchmonkey · « **Reply #5 on:** August 23, 2006, 05:23:46 AM »

Yeah, and Day of Disaster, or whatever that Disaster game is called.

It's a special Nintendo event with Reggie the President, expect more than just game announcements, launch date perhaps.

Terranigma Freak · « **Reply #7 on:** August 23, 2006, 05:59:39 AM »

Perhaps a launch date and price?

I think its obvious they are going to release the launch date and price, as they themselves said that in september they are going to release the info. As Ive said before though, I dont understand why people get so worked up about a launch date or price, unless the launch date is tomorrow who cares for the specific date? Ill rather get more new titles announced than the date of release, or more video footage.

i, personally, would like to know launch date in order to plan accordingly. price isnt so much an issue since i know it wont exceed $250 and i'll probably limit myself to two games, so saving up would be easy.

if i knew what day it would release on i could request off from work, go to the mall i work at anyway and get in before it opens, walk passed my store and say hi to whomever is opening that day so they can laugh that even though its my day off i'm still in the mall, walk down to the gamestop thats a few stores away from mine and wait until the doors open at 10 so i could be the first to get it. then i can rush home and play it all day, and probably the next day. i get two days off a week, if i could get them back to back (launch day/day after) i'll be really happy. if i could i'd take a week off from work but thats a little drastic, and i wouldnt get paid so its not all that worth it. call me a loser for doing it that way, but i miss the days of being a kid and simply ditching school, or atleast showing up late just to stay home and play my new video game/ game console. that really is the only way i can do it.

whats everyone elses reasone for wanting to know the launch date so bad?

Mario · « **Reply #11 on:** August 23, 2006, 07:36:49 AM »

All I hope is that they announce the release date before the release date.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2006, 07:55:41 AM »

Well, I want to know the launch date because I need to know what to plan for my B-Day. I am hoping the launch is EARLY November or Late October because my B-Day is on the 17th, and I was hoping to ask for a few Wii games or controllers for my B-Day to make it a cheaper investment. I have stopped buying new Cube games and DS games, and my Cube controllers are worn out so I can't play games accurately. I am just stuck waiting for this new system to come out.

Knowing the price of the system, games, controllers and such would help me plan.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2006, 08:16:48 AM »

I want to know the launch date and price because everyone's endlessly speculating on them and I'm tired of my expectations bouncing back and forth. I will buy the system even if it's $250, but if developers and analysts and media keep speculating that it'll be $200, $170, or even $100, then I'm going to be disappointed if it's $250.

Same thing with launch date, it seems to be narrowing down now, but I've heard people suggesting everything from the last half of October to the end of November. The realistic date now seems to be somewhere in early-mid November, but again, I'm tired of my expectations bouncing back and forth.

Obviously, a lot of people care, these two topics seem to get more responses than anything except maybe Twighlight Princess and Red Steel.

Edit: planning plays a bit of a role in it too, I may take one or two days off. I don't need to know it right now to do that, but at least a couple of weeks in advance.

Ceric · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2006, 08:49:40 AM »

Planning and I'm tired of speculating about both of those things. There is just not enough variation that could happen in the hardware to make it exciting anymore. I'm ready to move on to the next system for speculation. So I want all the features and limitations of the hardware revealed.

On the VC I want information on that because before we really got game info we got VC info and then they went silent. We've gone a longways with no updates. It's a big feature. We are all interested in.

I'm tired of Game announcements. It's nice to have a lot of games announced. I rather like the large amount of support. Right now though I rather have more information about the games that are already announced. Especially the likes of Project H.A.M.M.E.R. and FF:CC:CB. More MP info and the like.

Thats why I'm anxious.

Knowing how Nintendo is, that may well be when we see/hear an official announcement of the launch date and price.

Wasn't there something about some foreign-language magazine (Spanish? It was called Nintendo Accion or something) that said that their magazine (which would come out on the 15th) would say the date and price. Now I don't know if this refers to the North American release/date and price but if the beans are spilled around that time, it could mean that this Sept. 14 event might reveal to us the date and price we've all been wanting to hear.

Though like I said in another topic...hearing the release date doesn't make the Wii come any faster. Not at all. Either you're waiting for the date that you know, or you're waiting for the announcement of the date and then you're waiting for that release date. Same difference. And I have money saved up regardless of the price (the "realistic" estimates, anyway) so it's not like I have to plan to save up money or anything.

I do want the Wii as much as anybody, but apparently Nintendo wants to hold all their secrets for as long as they can.

Remember not to get your hopes up, as this may be (and will very likely be) a load of game announcements, videos and demonstrations, so don't be dissapointed if it is and start whining. It's actually a good thing, you know, to hear of all these games and their capabilities. The launch date and price will come eventually, so all we can do is be patient.

Reggieton FTW!

"whats everyone elses reasone for wanting to know the launch date so bad?"

I want know so I can start up the zelda count down again

BigJim · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2006, 03:00:24 PM »

Date + Price = Pre-orders

animecyberat · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2006, 03:49:11 PM »

Thats exactly it for me, I want to be able to goto gamestop and put my money down on a pre-order the very first chance I get. I am also curious of the price because I need to budget for this because I am very short on cash right now. I also hope for VC news because thast the main reason I am interested in Wii at the moment besides Zelda TP.

Kairon · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2006, 03:56:08 PM »

What's so hard about setting the bar at a safe price and just starting saving, then revising your estimates when you find out that you can afford an extra game when the price really isn't that high?

I've always assumed in my budgeting that the Wii will cost $250 just so that I can be on the safe side.

animecyberat · « **Reply #21 on:** August 23, 2006, 04:01:40 PM »

it's not so much the price as the date. Mostly because I want to pre-order it as soon as possible because I dont want to be waiting weeks after due to shrotages.

Also I found this on Gamespot.11/14/2006 its the date Madden 07 is supposed to be released, so I take from that the console should relese close to that date unless its spekulation but they had it as the actual date instead of TBA like the others.

So has any stores begun taking pre-orders already?

Pale · « **Reply #22 on:** August 23, 2006, 04:16:44 PM »

It really isn't that hard to go to a Wal-Mart at midnight and buy one the day of. I still don't understand why everyone relies on preorders so much. I guess I never will.

Cause it beats freezing your balls off on a cold november night, standing in front of the store which is god's gift to rednecks?

Arbok · « **Reply #24 on:** August 23, 2006, 05:00:49 PM »

We don't even have Wal-Marts around here... so it will be the old camp out at Toys R' Us for me (which I enjoyed doing for both the GCN and DS).
