It’s almost here. And in some other good news, press sites are now in possession of their dev kits to test games on. Bastards.
First up, Matt over at Ign finally has his Wii dev kit and wasted no time showing it off. What a beaut. Also, someone on the Nintendo forums got their hands on a Wii box and a Twilight Princess game case. Gimme now!
In Japan you can look, but you can’t touch. That’s a good looking setup. I think all Wii should have to be behind glass. If you live in the US, all you will be able to see for now are some accessories at places like Target.
That’s cool. I can wait. I’m patient. Only 23 agonizingly long days to go!
Darn you Americans. We Europeans have to wait even longer…
Dec 8. I am shivering with anticipation.

I want one of them sweet Nintendo LCD TV’s, matches the Wii perfectly. Would be totally awesome if Nintendo started selling them, I need a crisp LCD screen of some sort for my PC/consoles. And I wonder if anyone will ever just go and smash open one of those kiosks and take the contents… so tempting…

First Zelda with a T rating? Intresting.
Of course, I think we all knew this would happen.

Cowlix: Personally, I find it very exciting…like when Melee got a T rating.
It looks very promising indeed.

So close, you can almost smell the sweet scent of that brand new Wii, just unwrapped from the store…
I can’t believe Nintendo let the US have both the DS and the Wii first. How generous of them.

Nintendo of Japan is so much better that it’s actually funny.
Wait… no it isn’t! It SUCKS! I want Wii displays and Club Nintendo- NOW!!!

One more thing- IGN Wii says they have a “detailed 10 minutes of excusive footage showing the Wii interface” in IGN weekly Episode 30. I click it, and get nothing. But it says it was uploaded over two hours ago.
Conspiracy, anyone??

Oops, 8:30 PACIFIC time. I forgot. Well, in any case, everyone head over there in 35 minutes and watch it!

That’s not the actual Wii box. Just a promo box for stores like EB/GS.
NoBullet - 10.27.06 11:14 pm
The launch won’t be real for me till Ars or Tom’s gets one, dissects it, and posts “real” specs on the console, the wiimote, everything. But, off to download that
podcast…

When I preordered my Wii, I got to hug one of those boxes.
if the box is any indication, the Wii is one excellent lover…

Huh…the dev kit’s disc slot has a slight diamond shape…I did not know that.

I can’t wait to see how the game packaging gets mucked up when they add all the French for Canadian releases!
