 Post subject: Nintendo Rumour | October Wii Launch for Japan? |
 |
|
Nintendo can be heard on many gaming websites throughout the Internet. The company usually keeps their operations very much a secret from the public, only revealing what's necessary at the right time. Where the Wii is concerned, nothing solid has been revealed on the price nor release date.
French gaming website, Impact Virtuel is suggesting an October 2006 release date for Nintendo's upcoming console in Japan; sometime around the end of the month - 30th October.
Whilst the date seems viable enough, the source perhaps isn't the most reliable:
"For example, take a guy who is near Nintendo head office. Very near. Of course, for his own security, we won’t reveal his name...
...We’ll just call him Mr Jean-Claude Yakitori...
So, Jean-Claude Yakitori forgot that journalists have a huge skill of resisting alcohol, just because they practice a lot the press tours.
Between two Saké drinks, our friend Jean-Claude Yakitori gave us some confidences.
It seems that Nintendo is planning to launch the Wii at the start of November. In fact, it could come out in Japan near October the 30th and only few ten days after in USA and in Europe."
Whilst drunken journalistic banter isn't perhaps the most professional thing to report, the suggested date does tie in well with our own source's launch date previously reported, at the beginning of November.
Could October see the launch for Wii in Japan?
