Wii launch in late Oct in Japan... 10 Days Later in US/UK

inpactvirtuel.com — A French gaming website has dropped some info on the Wii launch, and they are claiming that this info comes from someone very close to Nintendo. The author of the article even says that they obtained the info themself, thus trying to push this story further from rumor, and more towards fact. Take this with a grain of salt

  • EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22So the article narrows the release date to three possilities:

    1. Around October 30 (Japan) / November 10 (US)
    2. Earlier
    3. Later

    Thank god that is cleared up.

  • maverick_swl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Thanks for sorting the truth out!

  • cheez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5yeah, i speak french too, you're right
  • wolkengrau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3What about scrolling down?
  • seanthebond, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is kinda what we already know anyways. And besides, I wont believe this until I hear it directly from Nintendo.
  • Thorpe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This is where Google comes in handy...

  • spoonard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I don't know about you guys, but yesterday I borrowed my dads time machine and already have my Wii...you guys wanna come over and play?
  • icaruseffect, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These rumors always seem to come from French or German sources. It's almost always just a translation error.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It's been debunked:

  • MephistoX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Until we get an official announcement from Nintendo, everything else is inaccurate.
  • DarkPrince11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is still mere speculation until Nintendo can confirm it but it still seems like a reasonable date.. a few weeks before the PS3 release means that the PS3 will be the last next-gen console to be released..giving the PS3 the most disadvantage...
  • Udon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1UK = Europe?
  • joelito, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mais je ne comprends pas un mot simple en français
  • dolson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1EB Games is usually wrong when things aren't officially announced (and even sometimes when they are!), but this falls in line with the Nov. 6th date that they gave me at the local store here..

    Too bad I still don't believe it. But it would be really nice if it were true!
  • crazyman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why is this being reported as innaccurate? It's not become official, but it never says in the article that it is official.
  • yuriko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1YAY! just in time for my birthday...
  • snapuswipe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Biggest problem I see with this:

    10 days after October 30 would be November 9, which is a Thursday. That would get out the launch to the public on Friday.

    Most video game releases are shipped on Monday and released to the public on Tuesday.

    Because of that, I'm going to take it with more than a grain of salt and deny it completely.
  • hamstereater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they only posted this so they'd get their fifteen minutes of internet fame :)
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No, it's heresay and rumor. You cant tell if it's inaccurate or not.

    But granted, I don't think anybody knows anything besides what's been officially stated.
  • CrunchyFrog000, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0UK = the part of Europe that pays for videogames.

    So who is planning on buying this Wii thingy? I think it looks pretty cool - I'll pony up the 200 bones just to have another fun lets-see-how-we-can-turn-this-into-a-drinking-game toy!
  • Lufy, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0yeah awesome...!!!! I can't wait

    we don't even know what 's the last secret of the wii ?
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0Lol, awesome!!
