Default Nintendo to announce Wii price and release date early?

Are you wondering where and when Nintendo might reveal new Wii info leading up to the console´s launch? Here´s a rundown of all important videogame related events until the end of the year, as requested by Mr. Excellent.

Update: Since Nintendo will not be holding a keynote speech at the Tokyo Game Show, the likelihood of Nintendo related news at that event has been moved to low. I also added the DigitalLife expo, which I had previously overlooked.

IEMA Summit
18th - 20th of July 2006

Description: The Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association´s annual summit.
Venue: Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort & Spa, Huntington Beach, California, USA
Notes: The IEMA Executive Summit is a retail purchasing show bringing together the leading merchants and publishers to discuss topically-important industry issues and conduct purchasing meetings. It´s apparently a trade-only event.
Likelihood of Nintendo related news very low.

Gosh, it would be awesome to hear some news from the big N in August because it would be around the same time Apple will talk about their new operating system, Leapord, which I've been waiting for aswell.

Good thread; lots of info is sooo nice.

yeah I agree on this signature. Nintendo said September - they wouldnt have to make the announcement at a gaming conference. They could just call there own press conference or something. Who knows.

Nintendo said it would make a big announcement in September, not that they were telling the release date first then, I just hope they tell the stores how many units they are getting so I can get my preorder in, the stores don't want another 360 fiasco where they couldn't fill all the pre-orders due to limited stock.

There is evidence that there might be a space world this year.
