Nintendo Revolution release date: Thanksgiving 2006

Gaming — 25 January 2006

It’s official. The Nintendo Revolution will be released by Thanksgiving 2006 in North America. Japan should see the system by Christmas. No word yet on Europe. Guess there goes that sumultaneous world wide launch. Since we’re getting it first, who cares?

The release timeframe was confirmed by both company president Satoru Iwata and Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime.

Release in North America should absolutely see a price tag of less than $300 according to Fils-Aime.

Update: The official name of the Revolution has been released, called Wii (pronounced ‘we’). Go here for more info, although we can’t say it is much.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

Wow

This comment board is like the internet…90% complete shit with 10% useful information.
I was just looking for the release date and I got a bonus debate on world cultures by 4 pre-teens…great. For everyone not of America…believe what pre-teens say as much as you would in your own culture.
And for those that are saying that nintendo is stupid…why? You should be happy that we are so into nintendo…that’s one less person that will be trying to buy your PS2 or XBOX360 games…one less person to compete with.
And also I don’t see how Nintendo messed up with Gamecube…it loads much faster than PS2, and other than the loss of the variety of games that Nintendo used to have it is the same as PS2. If anything N64 ruined nintendo because it pissed Sony off when they went away from a CD based system, causing Sony to develop the Playstation, causing competition and loss of alot of contracts.

nintendo are great, microsoft (despite windows) are good, sony are fantatstic too. its funny to see the whole sub culutre around all this, like its only possible to buy one console or something and buying a console that isnt part of your avatar or postname is going to kill you. if you havent already consider getting a job and then buying all of them? or be extremely clever and set up a campaign to get sega to release a supprise console! wow, that would be a cool idea. how about a sega mega amazing super dooper… wooper drive 3? and on the topic of release dates will the Wii be out of stock instantly like the xbox 360?

lets stop the whole britain america thing, i love america and american things
ryan

also doesnt it seem abit silly naming a console as excrement?
BigSteve

Yeah I’m willing to bet the revolution (sorry i will never call it wii) will be sold out on opening day. Probably not the same shortages as the 360 tho. I mean since the revolution isn’t using any crazy hardware that’s hard to get your hands on, they should be able to produce enough. Finally +1 for an underpowered system!
http://britbitchfag why did they change then name

does anyone know why the developers changd the name to frinkin wii, revolutiion is so much better, i dont think im gonna get it anymore casue its called wii
p.s. this is the same person that was named “british are gay”
jack

i think nintendo is pretty good
jack

yes tell that one up there who thinks nintendo is shit that ps2 is even worse
LaZY

I think the same thing about the ps2 but it’s alright (i guess)
http://britbitchfag british suck

man, we even beat you in the War of 1812, shit, you guys blow
Dan

It’s funny to see you guys yelling at each other about which country is better. I’m a canadian (woo) but I wont be going ‘AMERICA SUCKS’ or anything, because i’m acually not an idiot. But: I dont really like Bush, or his oil-rage, or his ideas that War is the answer, thats it. America may be the richest country but they also consume like 90% of the Earth’s resources (or something)

Well back to the topic: I dnot like the name Wii but that doesnt erally change much… I’m still gonig to egt it. BTW I was in the revolution site and they didnt post Super smash bros melee , is it nott coming out?
(P.S I’m newly 13 :D)
no one important

Isn’t the revolution such a better name than wii. Wii sounds small and unimportant. Revolution sounds big and exciting. i have seen a picture of one of the games and it has good graphics.

suck my cock you britsh mofos, suck it long and hard, with all your sick nasty teeth you freaks
Joseph Kovacs

I think they should really decide when the revolution is going to be released they should just say on date and keep it one date, but when it does come out i am going to be sooo siked.

P.S. Viva La Nintendo Revolution
canada guy

http://britbitchfag british suck

suck it faggots
corey hightower

I hope that Nintendo will release the Revolution during the summer of 2006 because I’m getting excited about the price of it being at $99. I really look forward to it’s early release.
corey hightower

If the Revolution does come out in the summer, just make sure that nintendo makes a new super smash bros.

if you go to cheatcc and click on the nintendo wii go to relese dates it says it coming out november 17 the same time as twilight princess
person

dude, i don’t even know why i’m checkin the release date cuz theyre jus gonna change it again. I read a nintendo power magazine last summer that said twilight princess was comin out novermber 2005. But since they werent advertising yet in october i figured they changed it and googled the game, i found out that it had been moved to april 2006. and now its november 2006. WHAT IS THE POINT OF GIVIN A RELEASE DATE THATS GONNA CHANGE IN A WEEK!?!?!?!?
dazzer ganza mouse

p.s do not come cryin to me if you are found dead implaled on the beatles statue in cavern walks dumb ass yanks
bellboy

i h8 the new name, nintendo wii sounds crap! Revolution sounded kinda cool, but wii just sounds stupid, little kids wanting the console will be asking “mummy can i have a wii?” and it just makes the awesome machine sound pants.
bellboy

nintendo should just set a realease date and stick to it, stop switching it around every now and then, only change the date if there are big problems that may effect the release date.
Adam

I definitely agree!

I’m a Canadian and I think we should stop fighting about which country sucks more. Whoever started this American/British thing should die a horrible and painful death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Canacdians rule!
Adam

I mean Canadians
http://britbitchfag british suck

shut up fags, canadians are sick bastards with heads that bob up and down and have sick ass teeth mother fucking faggot bitches
dan

You people are all fuckin stupid. This is a board to talk about “Wii”, and yet, you are all talking about which country is better? Than there are some people that say “Oh stop fighting over which country is better, everybody knows england is better…” STFU.. It’s time to grow up people.
G

i have to agree… fighting over better countries is STUPID every county has it’s bette points, but if it’s bothering any of you England IS the better country and if u don’t like it stop speaking our damn language!! we don’t wanna speak the same as you american scum…
Daniel

I also agree with these comments. I am a european and i think it is unfair america get the wii first. Also i’ve heard that wii will be released in Europe in March 2007. Fuckin U.S.A. Also we are best at football. (in ur American terms soccor)
Shaun

the revolution wont be released until november 24 acording to gamespot besides you better wait because it is going to be better than xbox 360 or PS3
sos

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Why can’t you people shut up??????!!!!! All you Brittish people, stop coming in and insulting us americans! 1st off-swearing is for americans! 2nd off-kipper? 3rd off- go back to saying bloody hell. and 4th off-kipper??
lol just kidding.

It’s coming out before thanksgiving in America, just leave it at that!!
Will’s sister

and 5th off-it’s not biscuit, it’s cookie. say it with me now, C-O-O-K-I-E! COOKIE! CEWKEE!

I thought that it was supposed to be less then $250?! I am not going to lend Will any more money then I said I would….
somebody

First off.. For those that want to whine and complain about who’s country is better and all that, let’s take into account that everyone has their own experiences and their own opinions. I personally think this is not the place to discuss that. This is a forum about the release date of “Nintendo wii” which I am never calling it that by the way. Just the thought of hearing people say “I’m going to go play with my wii.” just doesn’t do it for me. So, for me, it will always be “Nintendo Revolution”.

VIVA NINTENDO REVOLUTION!

This forum has made me laugh. Now I truly appreciate all aspects of other’s culture. Thank you for this gift. =D

I believe that the WII will come out around Nov/Dec and Twilight Princess for the WII will be there for it’s premire.
