Look guys, the crew at Gamespot is just like us! Even they can’t stay away from predictions of Nintendo’s events taking place. Will we hear price point…launch date…package info…and all other kinds of stuff? Check out a few comments below, and click over to see all their opinions. Thanks to Superdude for the heads up.

“Nintendo will announce that the Wii will follow the GameCube’s lead and launch on November 18 for $199, and it will also announce an early 2007 release date for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.”

James Yu | Senior Hardware Editor

“Best case, I see Nintendo going after the mainstream with an aggressive $179 price and surprising us with an October 29 launch date. It’s been rumored that the controller will have a built-in microphone for audio interaction and voice communication–I’m hoping we’ll hear more about that on Thursday.”

Jeff Gerstmann | Senior Editor

“$249 makes sense as a launch price. I predict they’ll put it out right before Thanksgiving to capitalize on the shopping craze. We’ll see a firm launch lineup, and they’ll probably also reveal something else crazy because that’s Nintendo’s style.”
