News Nintendo sez Wii on October 2

Haha, I love them, they're making every aspect of this entire project as playfull as possible.

I can't wait, and I think I'm actually quite likely to get one. It'll be my first console since a sega megadrive II, and with a bit of luck it'll be just as fun as my PC is.

 

Interesting way to get a release date, hehe.
Ohhhh yes! October 2nd would be perfect for me...2 days before my birthday

The wait is on.

 

I want a Wiiiii nowwwwww!

Seriously though, I have no moneys, its going to be a beg, steal and borrow job.

 

With my luck, it'll come out the same day I finish my MAME cabinet (which is still in thought bubble stages). Still no confirmed pricing yet though, right? A week after my birthday would be a bit of a shame, but if I manage to snag any birthday checks it could all work out.

First console I've really wanted since the Playstation (and I only wanted that for FFVII). And first I'll have paid for myself since the Sega Genesis

 

Or maybe someone is just yanking your chain?

I couldn't figure out why Bit-tech didn't have a link to said press release. I managed to find it after a little digging. For those who can't be bothered to read it, here's the whole story of the "secret encoded message":

Why is this non-story on the front page of Bit-tech? It's not like it's a slow news day.

That would be damned fantastic as my birthday is the 19th
Gotta love nintendo tbh. They are the only ones who don't seem to constantly proclaim they are the best but instead let the product speak for itself.

::edit:: corrected some typos.

 

WOW i am so excited
wait i have seepage a little too excited
anyway cant wait to get my hands on one of those funky controllers

 

<drool>

I can't wait. I'm so gonna get it with 4 wiimotes and acessories and have all my friends over to get pissed and play like loons.

this console is going to be sooo much fun

</drool>

 

i cant wait that long to have a wii..... oh endless jokes with that name

 

Wii will Wii will rock you!

I like that one... hehe

I'm stoked. I must start saving up me monies... May even go put a preorder in today... >

(why havn't I saved any monies already?!)

 

I'm still waiting for a price.. I don't think it'll be that expencive, *hopefully* sub £100.

 

i've put aside 500$ for the Wii, i am not sure i am gonna buy it till x-mas holidays, an october 2nd release would.. well it will distroy me, isnt it when uni starts *checks calender*yup.. i am dooomed, OMG zelda... this is too much anticipation.. no way in hell am i waiting till x-mas..*runs and cheks if the money is still there*

sorry for being so self contredicting, but i get to excited when i read news about Wii :0)

 

I really don't think you'll need $500 for the Wii.

 

$250 + 3 extra pads + cpl of launch games = $500

 

i just want to play old sega games
this is as close to a sega console i can get

so it will rock and it will pwn PS3 cue in sony ps fan boys

 

Though I was originally skeptical at Nintendo's chances with this console, the cheap price, onvoatation over Sony and Micrsoft, the early release and the downfall(ing) of the PS3 have made me a fan of thsi new console, and though at first i won't get one, because of the cheap price and innovation, like many other people I would buy a Wii to supplement my other console....
The price is great and I hope that the Wii is successful and creates a niche for itself in the world of family gaming and party games.
