My two cents re: friend codes:

They should link your online identity to your wii-mote (which allegedly holds some profile info. wii-sports caricature, handle and such I assume.) When you synch to a Wii it pings wii-connect24 HQ and logs what game you're playing. People registered as your freinds can then contact you in-game to join if it allows multiplayer.

Prolly just gonna be lame friend codes like the DS though.

Nintendo profits on console craze: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/5209346.stm

They have loads of cash now thanks to the DS Lite and NSMB.

October 2 rumor has gained some momentum...

That's quite possible, for the Japanese release. In the US, though, I'm still expecting a Thanksgiving launch like the Gamecube. They have said that it won't be a simultaneous worldwide launch, I'm pretty sure... maybe 'early/mid October in Japan and then mid/late November in the US'? Don't know about Europe, but I'd assume it'd be last...

It will released before the PS3 which has a
release date of 17th Nov.....
Early to mid October would be the best bet
so Nintendo can get a head start

Here's what Gaming Target (?) had to say, posted on Joystiq:

The fourth quarter begins on October 1. Now look at the list. At least one game is released every Monday in the fourth quarter except for the following dates: October 2, November 20 and November 27. November 27 is after Black Friday, so it's out. November 20 is after the launch of the PS3, so that's out too. That leaves us with October 2. The Wii will launch on October 2.

I'm really starting to buy this...and man, October 2nd is Two. Months. Away.

Oh yes. In fact, I think all our wives need one on launch day. Yes, our wives...

Nice to see all the Ninty characters hi-rezed up. Except that Kirby just looks out of place now somehow.
