If it's a figure from a japanese website, it'll mean December 1st. They do the date in the form yyyy/mm/dd over there (as opposed to mm/dd/yyyy in the states and dd/mm/yyyy in the UK).

Someone once said they thought it was odd that I was playing games on live at precisely one month intervals, cause they didn't realise I'm British and my live profile shows dates in that format.

Wii Fit 12/1 in Japan. 8,800 yen

Those all sound good.

Particularly looking forward to Wii-Fit though.

I was looking forward to Mario Kart but I'm worried about the steering wheel. I just hope it has a classic controller option. Its become the reason I'm holding on to the Wii since I heard SMG was going to be another wagglefest.

Why couldn't they have put Alex Kidd in brawl instead of Sonic? His freakishly huge hands would be awesome weapons.

Maybe it's better to get it after the Christmas 'eat as much as you can' season.

Is that 12/1 as in the 12th of January, or 12/1 as in the 1st of December American style?

It's being reported as 1st Dec.

Posting from my Wii - got an extension on my USB keyboard and suddenly the Wii is a comfy browsing proposition.

The everybody votes channel is now fun thanks to a skip function, while the send link thingy is going to come in very handy.

I still want to be able to tell my friends how far from public opinion I am, and so on... with one click from insode the voting channel.

Finally, how long before you can see when those whose Wii codes you have stored are online and playing - perhaps their drive slot could flash to say quit the game, goatboy is messenging you to have a game of mario striker or endless ocean or whatever.
