Nintendo's Leipzig conference was a whole lot of nothing, with no date or price to be found. The only new information was the announcement of Mario Strikers Charged and a new Batallion Wars on the Wii. It should be illegal to call your presentation "Wii prove our promise" and then spend 45 minutes talking about the DS.

Before the conference, invitations were passed around for a September 14 event in New York City, hosted by Reggie. The logical place for a date and price on the Wii is now either this press conference, or the Tokyo Game Show a little later in September.
