Would that be called... pulling an Apple or pulling a Saturn?

Neither. That would be "the Wii is launching....right now!"

Announcing the launch date a month before would be the best of both worlds: it would still be an attention-grabbing "surprise" launch, but it would also give stores (just) enough time to prepare.

edit: this would also (and I know I'm grasping here) be in line with what we've been hearing from developers. Originally, it sounded like they were shooting for an October launch, but now it seems like they're shooting for Novemeber. It sounds to me like this could be classic Nintendo spin control: when ign figured out the GameCube controller's button layout by talking to third parties, Nintendo got third parties to "correct" ign's mockup with misinformation.

NEW PLAYABLE GAMES? NEW HARDWARE SECRET? OMG THIS IS THE MEGATON!

Wooooooooooooooooooooo!

New games shown that previously couldn't be shown because they are made around the new secret? New Donkey Kong game? Resident Evil? New Horror Game? GTA Wiixclusive? OMG it's gonna be ABSOLUTELY HUGE! Remember before the GC launch they announced the entire RE series exclusive? That was MASSIVE! (at the time). Since Wii is a step ahead of GC in everything that means this will be HUGE and possibly the biggest gaming announcement(s) of all time.

This is a little off topic but I had a friend who is not ignorant think that they had announced the Wii price as $179.99 already. Nintendo need to announce the real price soo or it may get out of control.

Here is the hype I will predict.

No new hardware reveals, except maybe extra attachments. We still need to see the headset/microphone that will be used for communication online.

We will get launch information, price, and games.

So what will be the big surprise? It will be the games. I predict nearly final versions of all launch games including, final graphical builds and final control schemes for games like Metroid Prime, Red Steel, Zelda and more.

I expect new demos of Mario Galaxy to blow us away. And for the Germany demos of Strikers and BWii to be just as awesome as they were before.

Finally, I expect a demo version of Brawl to be on hand to blow the media away. It will be a big huge deal, and Nintendo will even hold a limited tournament with the winner getting a priced limited edition DS.

The supposed hardware news will be the unveiling of Wii24Connect's Virtual Console services. Nintendo will have a partial list of available games at launch that will completely destory Xbox Arcade's game list. We will get a price structure, and see how the interface works. Finally, it will to noted that these purchases can take place on your computer and 24WiiConnect will automatically download them to your Wii, or you can buy access cards in stores that will grant you the ability to download games.

Those are my predictions.

Oh, this reminds me. I know it's too much to hope, but there is only one thing I really, truly want out of this conference. The next Mario 64. One brand new game from Miyamoto that completley and utterly blows everything and everyone away.

That game would be known as Mario Galaxy

. I think on September 14th will reveal launch price and date, a couple new games, new playable demos of Red Steel, Mario Galaxy. and Metroid Prime 3. I also thing they will announce what will be included with the system which I think will be 2 Wiimotes, 2 nunchuck attachments, Wii sports, headset (so they can have voice recognition), and maybe 1 or 2 free VC downloads.

This needs to be read with lots of ambient moaning heard in the background.

Best. Launch slogan. Ever.

Heh, Well see. I hope we'll hear more about the other info that has yet to be known about wii. And of course Launch date and pricing.

Yeah, could you imagine getting a limited Edition DS lite with a laser etching of the Smash Brothers Brawl logo on it. It would kick major buttocks.

They could even do this with limited character. If Nintendo could have 5-6 characters ready and perfectly balanced they could have a tournament. If they had more even better.

Other potentially cool suprise games we could get would be:

Wii Brain Training: Now with motion based games to test reflexes and eye hand coordination.

Wii lil Nintendogs: Ok silly name, but Nintendogs with the Wii opens up tons of possibilities that could be amazing for the game.

Kirby Wii: That Kirby Gamecube game disappeared...perhaps it is becoming a Wii game.

Wii Kart Racer: Eventually (it is WILL happen someday) Mario Kart will be upgraded to just Nintendo Kart, and like Smash Brothers will incorporate Nintendo characters from all games. I could see the Wii version being that game. And before you say it would ruin the game. Think about the courses through Mute City, Hyrule, Dream Land, along with levels like Bowser's Castle. It could be a blast. And open the game up for much more intense and crazy racing action.

Thought about it. Think it would ruin the game more. It's having that coherent theme to tie everything together which makes the series distinct. You just get this odd feeling of having say Mario throwing a boomerang. *Shrug* I didn't like how it changed with the arcade version tracks. They didn't all feel like Mario Kart.

Looks like we can add Japan to the list. They're having their event on Sept. 14th also.

It has to be the big day.

Nintendo to announce e-Reader MK.II add-on for Wii on September 14th, you heard it here first! Because I type loudly, you see.

Yeah I think this will be the big announcement we've all been waiting for.

Sept. 14. Japan and America hold events
Sept. 15 Europe

And It seems that a new game will be shown and new info on the system!

Speaking on the subject of the trade-only event, an NoE representative said: "Wii will be playable. Nintendo will be announcing new software at the event and there will be new announcements regarding the Wii console itself."

If we've been in something of a drought, rest assured that the storm is coming.

Hype up!

JonLeung · « **Reply #72 on:** September 01, 2006, 10:28:23 AM »

Sept. 16 is exactly 100 days before Christmas, so even if they announce a launch date on these Sept.14/15 events, anyone dependent on parents...er, I mean "Santa Claus"...will still have to count down from three digits.

Donutt007 · « **Reply #73 on:** September 01, 2006, 10:33:11 AM »

It better be some big news, it kinda has to be. They need to steal the Thunder from TSG a bit. PS3 is planning on doing some heavy announcing from what I've read about, so they need to make people not even care what Sony has to say.

In other words, Wii needs to attack for massive damage on Sept 14-15!
