Squid of Man

So the Nintendo keynote at Leipzig has come and gone, and we've got both jack and shit to show for it.

Disappointing, yes, but hardly surprising. Other than the slightly cocky "Wii Prove Our Promise" title, Nintendo themselves never promised that a damn thing was going to be revealed regarding either release date or pricing.

We brought that expectation on ourselves with a deadly concoction of rampant fanboyism and dodgy logic. So we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Still, it does sting a bit knowing we have a few weeks left to wait until the Wii becomes a real, bonafide SKU and not some phantom spectre on the Nintendo release schedule. I had hoped to use this space to confirm an Australian release date. Instead, all I've got is this:

Europe is getting a pink DS Lite in October. I'd presume that means here as well.

Perfect timing, now it'll match my PS2.
