Wii to Launch October 1st in US? [Update – Another Rumor]
Now, this may just be a coincidence, but I’m starting to believe all these Wii rumors going around as we get more of them. This newest rumor comes in the form of a picture that I saw over at Nintendo’s Wii site. After navigating through the Wii site to see if anything would relate to an October 2nd (10/2/06) release date, I stumbled upon this picture that is shown to the left. Now, some of you have probably already noticed it when reading the article title and looking straight at the picture.
However, for those who need some explaining – The woman pictured in the middle of the group is wearing a shirt that displays – US 101. Now, we are unsure if the entire shirt just says this or if the jacket is covering up something else. This US 101 translates into US October 1st (10 1). Now, after seeing this picture (under WarioWare of Wii Software), I just couldn’t forget about the October 2nd release date rumor that was supported by a decrypted version of Nintendo’s Press Release and a Wii game’s release date from Walmart.
[Update]
Well, I have all over the Wii news again, saying to myself that there must be more to it, there must be more information out there! So, I returned and went through all of our Wii articles, and then it hit me! I wasn’t a fan of the way we originally portrayed the “decryption” of the Nintendo Press Release, so I went back and reviewed it myself.
After looking over it several times, I found that Final Fantasy V was oddly capitalized (all letters in it), so I knew that had to be part of the hint. So, I went over it again, looking at the press release and other GBA titles mentioned. I found nothing. So, I just started to work with the name (Final Fantasy V) and Wii. Then, it hit me – a W is made by forming two “U”s or two “V”s. So, I formed Wii using two “V”s and came with this – V V ii. Then, I realized the original reasoning and how it turned out to be 10/2 (October 2nd). In roman numerals, a V represents 5 and an I represents 1. So – V + V = 10, and i + i = 2 (result = 10/2)!. Now, this is very, very creepy. Take this as you will, but I was very proud of myself for finding this!
