Gamespot announced that they will have a tape-delayed live video broadcast of the presentation(Not Live)

Nintendo announced to select members of the press that on Thursday, September 14, 2006, the company would host an exclusive event in New York City revealing key new information about the Wii. Similar events would be hosted in Japan and in the UK for Nintendo's Japanese and European branches, respectively. GameSpot will have complete coverage of the US event, including a tape-delayed live video broadcast of the presentation itself. Be here at approximately 9:00 a.m. PDT on Thursday, September 14, for the broadcast.

Please note that due to bandwidth constraints, we are only able to offer a 300k feed of this broadcast. We expect to offer the video for on-demand viewing later in the day at higher bit rates. Furthermore, we expect to bring you written news coverage of the facts from this event prior to the broadcast, so expect Wii news on GameSpot prior to the showing. However, to see the presentation firsthand, tune in and watch the video.
