Perhaps not the most natural place you'd find such a scoop, but according to the latest issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids the launch date for the Nintendo Wii is November 6. As proof, someone was kind enough to send Go Nintendo some blurry pics of the issue with the release date included. As if that weren't enough, the site Cubed3 is reporting that an unnamed "industry source" has said the same date.

According to this "source": "So, at the moment Nintendo are aiming to launch the Wii on November 6th."

Now, the Cubed3 thing is a bit of a stretch, to say the least, but seeing the date in print for a somewhat reputable publication is another thing. There has yet to be official word, but November 6 would make sense for Nintendo, who's looking to hit shelves before the PlayStation 3.

I wonder if that includes Europe...

I'm more interested in exact price point tbh; I knew it would almost certainly be november I just want to know if I can afford to look forward to it

i'm now worried about the european launch in 2006. September/october would be realistic for a december launch in Europe but now looks a little more doubtful especially when nintendo aren't committing to a worldwide launch.
