Charlie Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 That fits with the Midway "leak". Sounds pretty solid, start saving boys and girls!
conzer16 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Posted May 3, 2006 Ooooooooh!!!! its all coming together!!!!!!! or else someone is going to a lot of trouble to wind us all up.............
Cubechris Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Don't forget guys that developers can develop there Wii games on the cube, and port them over, as the dev suite is similar.
gaggle64 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Hmmm, Nintendo have never been one to rush themselves, and not without good reason. The 360 rushed and is still struggiling to find its feet. I don't predict any major suprise about a new release date.
YenRug Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 For those dismissing early release on the grounds that final dev kits aren't in place, yet, just remember that the Xbox360 final kits went out a month before release. Not saying that this supports any claims made, just don't use it as concrete evidence to dismiss them, either.
ShadowV7 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Could be possible and it also goes with the 'Ubisoft' voice saying Red Steel would be out in July.I want to believe it but I can't.
Owen Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Could be possible and it also goes with the 'Ubisoft' voice saying Red Steel would be out in July.I want to believe it but I can't. July?! I think i faint if the Wii was released in July! well maybe not faint...but i will be VERY excited! Nintendo did say theres going to be loads of surprises at E3 and in a recent interview someone from Nintendo stated 'if you think the other remote having a tilt sensor is a surprise, you ain't seen nothing yet' or along those lines.... Is Nintendo holding a early launch attack up it's sleeve? I'm not going to dismiss it. I think Nintendo has learnt by it's mistakes and i'm positive the launch games are very well into completion, we've known about the Wii for a awful long time now. It's not as though it's only just been revealed. We are talking nearly a year now aren't we that the actual console was first unveiled? July maybe a little too early, but i wouldn't dismiss early September/October if i were you!
ShadowV7 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I think it's early aswell,no one can tell if the voice is real or not.I would fall to the ground if there was an early launch.
conzer16 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Posted May 3, 2006 JULY!!!!!! oh my god!!! that would be incroyable!!! If Nintendo are planning a big surprise at E3, I wouldnt be that surprised myself if it was an early release. I hazard the earliest they'd release it would be August though. JULY!!!!! thats only 2 months away!!!! oh be still my beating heart..........!
MunKy Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 An early luanch would be good for the company but bad for me. I dont wanna spend Basic Training think about Wii. That wasnt intended as a joke.
LazyBoy Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 There's a very good reason why consoles and games are not released in Summer. People aren't at home. They're either at home or they're out playing in the sunshine. Wii will be released in September at the earliest. I'd put money on that.

They're either at home or they're out playing in the sunshine. Wii will be released in September at the earliest. I'd put money on that. I agree with you but i think (in my opinion) those times are over. Of course the majority still go out at summer so i reckon you are correct! Still i never understood the 'Video-Game drought' from June-September, people still play them at night don't they? I hope Nintendo release it when they think (please god earlier).
ShadowV7 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Summer is the 'drought' time for games.That's why Autumn/Winter is better because there is a lot more sales.
gaggle64 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Only a total imbecile would release a console in the middle of the summer unless they were deliberately trying to keep sales down. A winter release still makes the most sense for a launch.

I'd put money on that. perhaps a good tactic to ease demand? why have HUGE demand if you can't capitalise on it? also.. slight mistake, surely second "home" should read "work"?
LazyBoy Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 perhaps a good tactic to ease demand? why have HUGE demand if you can't capitalise on it? also.. slight mistake, surely second "home" should read "work"? There is not one business on earth that doesn't want as much demand as possible. And the initial point of this thread is that Nintendo are stockpiling the Wiis (ha) in order to meet a worldwide demand. And yeh you're right it was actually meant to read "they're either on holiday or outside in the sunshine". It's this heat.

It's this heat. it depends how confident they are about the product. maybe they'll release in Australia first (Winter over there...). now that WOULD be a surprise (very pleasant for the Australians - perhaps not so much for the americans. they did release GC around May over here didn't they? I know I bought my cube in June, kinda an impulse buy, and played it at night/rainy days
ShadowV7 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Damn hype before E3.We can't really believe anything untill E3 the conference.
AshMat Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 ....and there were no games And it was a shite console anyway, sega's biggest mistake. IF this is true it's good news, im desperate for a Wii. [/bad Wii Joke]
Kurtle Squad Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I reckon it's Sept launch for Japan, Oct America & Nov/Dec for Europe. Makes me wish the Summer wasn't so long now :P
Konfucius Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 It would be really cool if they launch in summer, however I also doubt it since they hinted for an autumn/winter release. On the one hand, it makes sense to start stockpiling them if they want to launch worldwide simulatenously but on the other hand what will they do if Sony delays the PS3 again to make it even more powerful (or as powerful as they claim for reasonable size and price) or get a Blu Ray drive finally. Then Nintendo has a lot of Wiis that will lie around for some time and could be produced much cheaper of improved if they waited longer.
Owen Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 Well either way, we hopefully know theres going to be no shortages like the 360 and DS Lite for example....which is good.
Sixfold01 Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 As much as I'd love that to be true, I'm kinda hoping its fake... Because I can't afford a Wii right now!!! I've had no time to save! And I'd feel horrible if it came out in summer and I'd have no cash to buy it!!! DEAR GOD I NEED A JOB THIS SECOND!!! AHHHHH!!!!!
