Wii Release Date in SIWell, it seems that Sports Illustrated for Kids has a very juicy "rumor" on their hands. In their most recent issue of the magazine, they go on to talk about the Nintendo Wii and how the controller will revolutionize sports games (baseball in particular). After the description of the revolutionary console and controller, they have one small line that will erupt thousands (Wii fans). This single line says "Launch Date: November 6". At the current time this date shall be taken as a rumor as no official price or launch date has been announced by Nintendo. We can expect the price to be announced before The Tokyo Game Show (where Nintendo showed off the controller last year). As far as learning the launch date (officially), this is unknown when we will see one.

» Hmm...

I doubt it's true and I would guess the writers of the mag just made it up.

TGS is Sept 22-25 I believe. The price will be announced before that time, I am 100% sure on this ;)



As far as when the launch date will be announced - I have no clue, but I can guess around the same time as the price announcement

I would not readily believe that, it does seem to tie in with all the other speculation and estimation, though

» He'll have searched the web

And the first thing he saw will have been a rumor about the release date and he'd have written it down without checking.

» This might be true

There have been many rumors where the release date was going to be on November 6. Some gaming store websites allow you to preorder the games and next to the game it shows the date which is November 6. This will also match with the Japanese realease in October since consoles are realeased there before a worldwide realease.

» European Launch Date???

According to Amazon.co.uk release date is 24th Nov but take it with a pinch of salt ;)
