conzer16 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Can anything that has "Nintendo", "Deep Throat" and "Wii" in the title really be read as a credible piece?
Retro_Link Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 http://www.cubed3.com have also reported the 30th of October release, but as a rumour http://www.cubed3.com/news/5422 French gaming website, Impact Virtuel is suggesting an October 2006 release date for Nintendo's upcoming console in Japan; sometime around the end of the month - 30th October. Whilst the date seems viable enough, the source perhaps isn't the most reliable: "For example, take a guy who is near Nintendo head office. Very near. Of course, for his own security, we won’t reveal his name... ...We’ll just call him Mr Jean-Claude Yakitori... So, Jean-Claude Yakitori forgot that journalists have a huge skill of resisting alcohol, just because they practice a lot the press tours. Between two Saké drinks, our friend Jean-Claude Yakitori gave us some confidences. It seems that Nintendo is planning to launch the Wii at the start of November. In fact, it could come out in Japan near October the 30th and only few ten days after in USA and in Europe." Whilst drunken journalistic banter isn't perhaps the most professional thing to report, the suggested date does tie in well with our own source's launch date previously reported, at the beginning of November. Could October see the launch for Wii in Japan? Stick with C3 for future updates on this rumour.
demonmike04 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 So im guessing they've finalized the amount of buttons and finalized the sensor bar design within a space of 2-3 weeks? I'l only believe this when it comes from Nintendo. Also, it says 'Sometime AROUND 30th october' which is obvious any ways because Nintendo said before thanksgiving.
Retro_Link Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Also, it says 'Sometime AROUND 30th october' which is obvious any ways because Nintendo said before thanksgiving.Yeah exactly! We've always known it will be around October/November anyway!
