All fingers are pointing toward the 14th September as being the date for when Nintendo will reveal full Wii details to the world.

Check out the Headline for more info.

One pundit said "I'm just dying for a wii!!!"

Nintendo has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that new details regarding its Wii console will be revealed on September 15th in Europe - with a price and launch date announcement looking highly likely.

According to GamesIndustry.biz anyhow!

I've already started taking guesses with friends and my estimate was £139.99 and released on October 30th.

Anybody care to have a wii guess?

[Hops up and down]
I want a wii!! I can't wait

(This joke just isn't going to get old!)

My guess is £119.99 and October 2nd.

Friday 20th October. £149.99 inc VAT RRP.

Mine is just a guess as well

Talking of birthdays, that date actually is Mrs Fishcake's birthday, but I don't think she'd be particularly pleased if that was her present

Doooooooooooo it

In all seriousness - I bought my missus a DS before her birthday (as a half present - I had to buy her proper presents as well). She's hardly put the damn thing down since!

the Wii page on Wiki says that Nintendo said that it is going to be released before thanksgiving (9th October) and I've heard October 2nd everywhere. As for the Price, I think it's fine as long as it's under $250 USD. But I guess we'll all find out next Thursday ^_^

Get in there! Hmm, 3rd November launch. Price : £144.99

**5lab** · 06-09-2006, 04:51 PM

5th november launch (with some wee firework display pun). £134.99 (better be under £150 or the 360 will eat it)

**depresion** · 06-09-2006, 05:55 PM

November 10th, £149.99.

What's the prize?

**Parm** · 06-09-2006, 05:58 PM

The prize is a Wii bit of satisfaction?

Mike Fishcake · 08-09-2006, 11:59 AM

OK, someone has 'leaked' it.

It does however say they "expect" it to, so this is probably no more accurate than all the other guesses thrown around in this thread

**Parm** · 08-09-2006, 12:04 PM

an estimated £275 cheaper than PS3.

Goodnight Vienna!

**Steve B** · 08-09-2006, 12:35 PM

so america is going to get it before thanksgiving, which is October the 9th, and we're going to get it before November 24th, more than a month and a half later???
