I don't like "Pre-September 14" we need to name this event GAF. Come on!

Operation Impending Disappointment.

Alternately, Much Ado About Nothing.

Honestly, this is a price point and release date press conference, and we know generally what the price and release date will be. Nintendo isn't about to blow our minds, nor is Nintendo about to unveil crazy new secrets we never saw before. At best they might premiere one or two games that some people have been hoping for.

I can't believe this is about to hit 1,000 replies and nothing has even happened yet. It's amazing the amount of attention and hype the Wii is getting.

I'm guessing that this thread will be GAF's downfall come tomorrow night.

EDIT: Well, I guess this ended up being post 1,000.

There's supposed to be a final secret about the Wii. Also any new game announcements from Nintendo will come here, seeing as how they don't do TGS.

And price/release date is huge for some of us.

WedThurFridayTON shall be the name.

I prefer the one in your avatar.

The Waa Waa Wii Waa event!

or wii3 (cause it's 3 days?)

Anyway, i don't know if you guys want to use this thread or not tomorrow, if so just remove the "pre" and add a "starts on post XXXX". I had it planned to be solely a "pre" thread with all the news leading up to the even but there's been 1000 replies so far and not a single interesting news post. SOMEONE LEAK SOMETHING.

Edit: I agree on WTFton (Wed-Thu-Fri)
 
Good old Gaf. the only people left (besides some japanese housewives i guess) who care about nintendo and pretend it's important.

I like how Xfire is so great according to dozens of posters since now it's Sony's.

Good ol GAF.

Will be interested in just how rudimentary Sony'ds online ends up looking?

Oh, come on. No console-specific press event has ever ended all speculation.

If they're not going to dish now, I don't know when they will. We still need to know:

Price
Release date
Region-free or not
Interface
Launch line-up
Virtual console line-up
Virtual console pricing
How Connect24 is going to be used, exactly
Specs (*ducks*)
What has happened to Super Paper Mario
When Super Mario Galaxy is being released
 
How about a voluntary 48-hour avatar removal starting Wednesday afternoon EST? And maybe a limit on GIFs and JPGS, in some vain attempt to not have the servers smashed for 2 1/2 days? Otherwise this thing will get pretty ugly, and I hate having to go elsewhere for my Wii news, praising, and trolling.

avatars have nothing to do with it

The avatars aren't stored on the server though. I don't think the links are going to be a big deal, plus, it's an easy way of identifying posters.

Oh, I'm sure we'll get almost all of that (except the specs). I was referring more to speculation of the MAJOR DEVELOPER WORKING ON SUPER SEKRIT WII GAME variety.

Oh, I for one am not expecting anything like that. If we get half of that list I will be happy.

Is there anything that can help then, or is it a fait accompli?
restrict people's posting ability: only one post every 2 minutes. that's what usually happens... and maybe disabling images could help too.
