Ya rly WTF. I love the console Call of Duty games, but they aren't worth $60. Guess I'll wait a few months or so for it to hit that sweet $30 price point.

And some come in at $20. However, $50 was clearly the current gen standard.AdmiralViscen said:
Anytime you see the first of a month as a date, it's a placeholder. You'll also notice that the 11/1 is a Wednesday, and games 99% ship on Tuesdays, so all those 11/1 games mean jack. All the 11/7 games indicate a launch within a week of that either way though. Nintendo's always released systems on Sundays (?), but that doesn't mean they'll necessarily do it this time around. I still think the 14th would be a horrible date for them, if nothing else hardcores picking up both systems will have less money to spend on wii games.

Not trying to sound like a trouble maker here, but I just can't imagine paying $60 for COD3 on the Wii when a graphically superior version sits right next to it on the PS3 and X360 for the same price. Are there really going to be $60 Wii games? I think $50 is really stretching it for reasons I won't go into now, but $60 seems a tad maniacal IMO. Also, why in the world is Monkey Ball $60?

aechris said:I went into TRU today and the guy at the counter (which means shit-all I know) said there is a launch date setlol) and that they will be getting them in "start of November" (he couldn't remember exactly what day. Still worth nothing, but another pointer towards that "Nov. 2" date.
As a side and a little anecdotal addition, I was the 9th person since they opened preorders in April to preorder a Wii, compared to the 40+ they had already gotten for PS3s.
TRU is accepting pre-orders?
this launch kinda sucks in my opinion. Zelda should be ace, and i think Metroid will be good as well, but i think that got delayed right? Anyways, other than Zelda, which speaking truthfully is a delayed gamecube port, i see nothing on the list that i would even consider purchasing.
The really big game is Mario Galaxy...can't wait for that.

Vandiger said:$50 for Metal Gear Anthology, $60 games from sega and activision. I guess I'll just wait till everything settles down, prices like that are insane
Metal Slug Anthology is well worth $50 dollars.

So, this seems to indicate that Wii will launch the same week as PS3? Great. Well, at least we only need to wait until Sept. 14 (at the latest) to get off this damn roller coaster.

Nintendo isn't at TGS per se, and never has been (except for one time in 2001, when they showed a few GBA games), and Iwata isn't giving a keynote this year. It'll be September 14th, at the latest.

Yeah, Happy Feet is coming out on a whole bunch of systems on the same date, and it's street dated because a lot of licensed movie games are that way for some reason.
From what I'm hearing (and unfortunately I can't go into detail for various reasons) everyone will be happy with the release date and the price(s) of the system(s). FWIW, no one has guessed the release date in this thread.

hmm zelda missing from list. console pack-in? megaton?
why is this not locked?
there are no game release dates and there is absolutely no "possible launch date" in this thread.
that is NOTHING but placeholder dates gamestop/eb has in their computers so that people can preorder them. they need SOME kind of date obviously.
also, there are NO game prices announced. so stop flipping out about a $60 game being on there.
placeholders people.

moku said:Man, this is wrong. You now it, and I know it.
Tease us like this, you...you...bastard.
Got any more info?
No one got the release date right? Hmmm. Did anyone come close even?
I'm not sure he knows the correct date, but by looking at the dates in this thread I know none of them are right. Nintendo releases systems on Sundays and none of the dates mentioned so far are a Sunday.

More like "Nintendo has released systems on a Sunday, and I don't have a clue whether or not the Wii will come out on a Sunday!"

Happy Feet hits theaters on the 17th, which is why the game is street dated.
I think we're all missing the most awesome part of the Wii launch here: the sweet Elebits toys that you get when you pre-order the game!

Certainly they have launched more often than usual on Sunday, but it's certainly not a 100% thing, even less so if you include Japan, and there's no reason to believe they are scheduling a launch for a Sunday as opposed to any other day.

DSLite was a Sunday, not a Saturday. Which only leaves the the GBA as a Monday launch according to you. I can't remember that far back, so I'll take your word on that one. And I was only referring to US launches of Nintendo hardware, I highly doubt we'd get the system the same day as Japan over here (probably within two weeks of each other is my guess).
So I'd still say the chances are extremely high that it hits on a Sunday here in the US.
