Wii print ad in German magazine

I'd like to believe that this is real, but I doubt it. I haven't seen any news about this anywhere else, and Nintendo's already debunked one rumor about it. I wish they'd get off their high horse and announce it already.

I like to go down to the playground and watch the kids run and jump and scream, because they don't know I'm only using blanks.

It'd be seriously awesome if it did come out on October 21st, 'cause that's the day before my birthday! What a present/self-treat that would be! [Big Grin]

A link from my hubby, who is also anxiously awaiting the Wii.

Most of the games I've seen have a release date of 11/1.

The outtake of the German magazine says "Zwei unserer Kandidaten, PS3 und Wii, erscheinen erst im November", which translates as "Two of the tested, PS3 & Wii, will not be sold until november", which contradicts the statement.

Also, I find it funny that an English language magazine runs a French language ad, though I'm not Canadian.

I was called by an agency doing market research and asked if I would be interested in a new console (unnamed) that would retail for £155 and release mid october. The revolutionary feature was the controller.

Think what you like

Wow. £155 for a new console? That's incredibly good. If it is that much when it comes out, I'll definitely be getting one.

I'm wetting myself with anticipation. Twilight Princess looks gorgeous. I suspect things will be broken and people will get hurt though when waving the controller about.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who's so out of the gaming scene that I had no idea what this even was dealing with until I did a Google search.
