Close...but not quite. This 'info' was released today. I figure this is big/good/official enough to warrant its own short-lived topic instead of being lost as a single post in another thread.

It isn't 'announced', but heavily hinted at by Nintendo themselves.

That is from an entirely different article meant to state the fact that the release-date hasn't been announced yet to everyone claiming they know, and that the release-date will be announced in September. :p

If anyone bothers to read the article, they'll know it wasn't officially announced. :p But very much hinted at.

Here is the article of which THAT article was referring to: http://www.wii-play.com/nintendo_wii_news_view.asp?news_item=52


Nintendo updated their release list for the fourth quarter of this year. The list is ruled by DS games with only 1 GBA game and 1 GC game being released this year.

Fourth Quarter Release List:

Oct. 9: Clubhouse Games (DS)
Oct. 16: Nintendogs: Dalmatian & Friends (DS)
Oct. 23: Magical Starsign (DS)
Oct. 30: Pokémon Ranger (DS)
Oct. 30: Children of Mana (DS)
Nov. 6: Elite Beat Agents (DS)
Nov. 6: Final Fantasy V Advance (GBA)
Nov. 13: Yoshi's Island 2 (DS)
Dec. 4: Custom Robo Arena (DS)
Dec. 4: Kirby: Squeak Squad (DS)

Note: The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC) Will Be Released On The Same Date As The Wii In The Fourth Quarter Of This Year.

Nintendo did include this line at the end of their announcement:
"Perhaps the secret to the launch information for Wii is somehow encoded in the text of this news item."

Gaming Target Writes:
"The fourth quarter begins on October 1. Now look at the list. At least one game is released every Monday in the fourth quarter except for the following dates: October 2, November 20 and November 27.

November 27 is after Black Frida, so it's out of the possibilities. November 20 is after the launch of the PS3, so that's out, too. That leaves us with October 2. "

So Will The Wii Be Released On October 2nd? The release date seems to be too early according to some people, but since the wii is already in production, it is possible that Nintendo plans to get a headstart on the PS3.

We Can Hope To Find Out Soon...
