But it's so much fun to go to a midnight release.

Besides, everyone who pre-orders hangs out at midnight for it anyway...

I need the launch date so I can have everything prepared and organized in my room, I've already got most of the stuff except the 5.1 sound system, and I still got to decide if I should pre-order at EB, FS, or new-used game-store. Also, when they announce the launch day I will know when not to work for a week or 2 lol.

If ease is your concern, pre-ordering online is even easier. My EBgames.com Cube showed up on the broken launch day (Friday). It couldn't be easier/lazier if I had the box opened for me. But then that would ruin the spirituality of the moment.

Besides, not everybody has the luxury of an endlessly stocked Walmart. They haven't penetrated every crack of the country just yet.

See?

Based on the image, I would hazard a guess there might be one or two unknown games.  Beyond that, I don't think we'll get a date.  As much as the thought pains me, we'll probably have to wait that additional week for TGS.

I seem to recall that the WiiPointer (or Revmote) was revealed to the world on Sept. 15 of last year.  Was that also at a similar event?

I want to know price and date primarily to tell people I'm trying to convince to buy one. Most of the people I'm friends with don't want to hear about something cool that they WANT RIGHT NOW but that'll be released "somewhere in Q4" for "less than $250".

Hard factual info also makes the mainstream hype all the more convincing. No more guesswork, which proper journalists are supposed to hate, but simple OFFICIAL details straight from the big Japanese horses mouth.

Personally, I'd be much more pleased if they outlined a clear VC strategy (especially the pricing).

Anyway, I'm patient. Carry on Nintendo!

My question is why on earth would Nintendo hold their own event a mere ten days before the Tokyo Game show? Is it to make sure they aren't overshadowed by the other two companies?

Well that is what I wondered but the more I thought about the more it makes sense. I am not expecting any huge announcements like release date along with price, but instead they will be showing off games. Since TGS is such a big event Nintendo probaly thought it would be best to invite people to a Wii party so they are guaranteed to get a chance to play the Wii games, because at TGS the long lines could not only impact your opportunity to play these games but also limit your time. So really I think this event is looking to be an event for a select number of people to get in alot of playing time with their games.

I don't think it's upper Nintendo's doing.  Besides E3, which would be considered an event for everyone, NOA hasn't had it's own event.  The Japan will have TGS, Europe Leipzig, and Reggie Fun Day is what the US is getting for their conference.  It's sort of archiac when you look at it.  It's like these events where plan like the Internet was not around.

It's going to be an event that will focus on the media and concerns of the US demographic.  The Canada branch might get in on it too to save budget.  That makes the most sense.

That being said we might get the US price though not a launch date.  More hands on and hopefully they'll pass out Devkits to the press at this event.   Things like that.

I think it is actually pretty smart.  Getting more media attention and giving them more time.  Making the media feel like royalty always gets better press.  Less lines, better press, individual attention instead split among all other participates of a trade show.  Finally, if you drop a nice bomb like the launch date and price then you cause major hype, that leads into TGS.

So what does Nintendo do at TGS...simple, finally completely outline the Wii24Connect potential, the Virtual Console prices and how it works, and list of all Wii games played to go online in 2007.  That would be huge TGS press Conference that will hype all the way into launch date.

Latest news is that Europe gets their own event on the 15th.

Reggie on the 14th in NY. The next day, across the atlantic, the hypefest continues?

I'm ready to be hyped. Somebody hype me.

I wouldn't get hyped up if I were you guys. We don't know what they will reveal there, so it might end up a big dissapointment. So its better to play it safe and just wait till the event rolls around.

But that's boring!  I'll take two weeks of excitement with five seconds of mild disappointment...

Considering realistic prospects, I have a feeling this final thing they will reveal will have something to do with Wii Connect 24...

It's sorta hard to not get hyped when there's two back-to-back conferences in the month of September...

Reggie, at the very end of his September 14th speech:

"Oh, one more thing. I'm sure you're all eager to hear when you can get your hands on a Wii this year. Well, I'm very happy to announce the Wii will be launching, simultaneously in all regions across the globe, one month from today."

*thunderous applause*
