I'm off to New York City.

I had actually planned this vacation at the beginning of the year, and it just so happens that Nintendo decided to throw a major press conference there while I was in town.
So check in Thursday morning for the news on the Nintendo Wii. There's a meet and greet starting at 8:30 a.m. EST and then the press conference gets underway at 9 a.m. or so. Press conferences are never exactly on time so give or take a half hour on those times.

According to the press release from 10 a.m. on we'll be playing Wii games.

While there's no official word on what will be announced, I expect both the price and date will be unveiled at the event. I also suspect they might let us know some other stuff, be it more details on the Virtual Console, a new game announcement or maybe some other surprise.

You know Nintendo, they are always full of suprises.

After my day with the big N I'll be spending the rest of the week in the Big Apple with my wife and son vacating.

See you guys Thursday or, if not, next week. Brian Crecente
