Wii to Launch October 1st in US? [Update - Another Rumor] |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Fantasy, Final Fantasy, GBA
Ó
Now, this may just be a coincidence, but I'm starting to believe all these Wii rumors going around as we get more of them. This newest rumor comes in the form of a picture that I saw over at Nintendo's Wii site. After navigating through the Wii site to see if anything would relate to an October 2nd (10/2/06) release date, I stumbled upon this picture that is shown to the left. Now, some of you have probably already noticed it when reading the article title and looking straight at the picture. However, for those who need some explaining - The woman pictured in the middle of the group is wearing a shirt that displays - US 101. Now, we are unsure if the entire shirt just says this or if the jacket is covering up something else. This US 101 translates into US October 1st (10 1). Now, after seeing this picture (under WarioWare of Wii Software), I just couldn't forget about the October 2nd release date rumor that was supported by a decrypted version of Nintendo's Press Release and a Wii game's release date from Walmart.
[Update]
Well, I have all over the Wii news again, saying to myself that there must be more to it, there must be more information out there! So, I returned and went through all of our Wii articles, and then it hit me! I wasn't a fan of the way we originally portrayed the "decryption" of the Nintendo Press Release, so I went back and reviewed it myself.
After looking over it several times, I found that Final Fantasy V was oddly capitalized (all letters in it), so I knew that had to be part of the hint. So, I went over it again, looking at the press release and other GBA titles mentioned. I found nothing. So, I just started to work with the name (Final Fantasy V) and Wii. Then, it hit me - a W is made by forming two "U"s or two "V"s. So, I formed Wii using two "V"s and came with this - V V ii. Then, I realized the original reasoning and how it turned out to be 10/2 (October 2nd). In roman numerals, a V represents 5 and an I represents 1. So - V + V = 10, and i + i = 2 (result = 10/2)!. Now, this is very, very creepy. Take this as you will, but I was very proud of myself for finding this!

I've just been on a spree for finding Wii Rumors (heck, even creating them myself), and went to Nintendo's Wii site, scouried it like hell - saw the image and such and it hit me. I also checked the hex to make sure there were no hidden messeges in there either (there were none that I could find). I'll be sending a copy of this to you in your PM box just in case you do not read this - I honestly did not see your thread, heck I didn't know anyone else knew about this!

He Didnt Say VV = 10. He Said V+V = 10 Which IS Correct. And I must say it is rather... suspicious. Why would Nintendo pick such a stupid name. It has more meaning than we think. and I think V V i i makes perfect sense. Wii will change the way we think of gaming. October 2nd will change the way we think of gaming.

As far as the October 1st release being a Sunday - I too do not believe that it will be released at that point in time either
As far as the Wii = V V i i rumor and one of the comments - Yes, everyone knows X = 10, but two 5's (V) added together equal 10 ;) There are several arguements we can use with it, but I'm still sticking with the October 2nd as the best rumored released date.
As far as Final Fantasy being capitalized in the press released - I'm aware that they do that in Japan (all the Final Fantasy game's boxes have it like so in Japan, and US as well) - but for Nintendo to use the JP way of spelling it in a US press release left me at an odd position so I thought it would be significant. It is actually used back and forth in the US, so using the capital version over the standard lowercase as found in press released struck me.
However - Personally I am still just taking this with a grain of salt, it's up to you personally to decide what you think, we aren't telling you that this is true or that you must believe it.

Also, Nintendo did not even know of a release date when they showed that video and picture. It was at E3, and the Wii sensor bar was holding back the developement process as we reported on earlier - so they couldn't even estimate
Thanks warplayer

Woah! Don't forget that 'Hollywood' is the codename of the Wii's GPU!
That means it's DEFINITELY going to be released on 10/1! And it'll only be sold in the woods, by a woman named Holly!
Shoot me please.

In roman numerals it would be IIM = 999
so if you then turn it upside down WII = 666

>< OMG that looks like an X doesn't it
X hahahhahahahahh ahah
and X in roman numerals does equal 10
however I must say that picking at the whole final fantasy thing was very clever indeed...
