With the now downsized E3 fast approaching it seems normal that the Wii rumor mill would get new life. JeuxFrance.com says that according to sources they find to be credible Nintendo has already planned out most of its E3 presentation an entire month in advance. According to their "credible" sources, Nintendo will reveal the release dates for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with the grand unveiling of Mario Kart on Wii.
It's been a little while since we last heard of Super Mario Galaxy while Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been on the forefront of Wii news recently with the re-opening of the official site. This would also be the first official word on a Mario Kart coming to Wii even though we all know it will come sooner or later.
They go on to end with yet another intriguing rumor on the hardware front. According to JeuxFrance.com, there will also be a "huge hardware revelation". I'm not exactly sure what to make of this. A new Wii peripheral, a re-moddled Wii, or maybe we'll be introduced to the DS' successor? Only time will tell if any of these turn out to be true so we advise you to take all this with a grain of salt.

Hmm.... This looks interesting, for sure.
I'm especially interested in what the "huge hardware revelation" will be.
Good job once again, Kindrik!
This is sweet! I am looking forward to it all. I will definitely buy all three of those games.
Maybe Brawl will be playable, there has been nothing on Mario Kart for a while, and Galaxy I can't wait.
the hardware thing is either colored Wiis or the hard drive...
Very interesting news. Hope its true!
this is very interesting.
1. its possible the info was slipped with E3 coming up
2. its a credible source
3. with smash bros. brawl having daily updates, its possible they have a release date.
nice find Kindrik
great find kindrik! i hope that brawl is playable so we will be able to see a lot more videos! galaxy will be awesome too! mario kart on the wii FTW!
(when i first saw this thread, i thought we were actually getting a rumor on the actual release dates
)

same. but not getting the actual release dates, somehow makes this more believeable
I believe we'll hear a release date for Galaxy or Brawl. Definitely banking on the unveiling of Mario Kart Wii or maybe even a Mario Tennis Wii to encourage the controls.
Its too early for a DS successor, maybe news of that DVD Wii that Japan is getting?
This is a good find. And I'm betting it's true. Nintendo's been holding back release info on these games for quite a while. So it's reasonable to think they've been waiting for E3 to talk about it. Hopefully they'll also discuss new wii channels and hardware.
I'll cringe if the news is on any hardware redesign. I'm pretty damn sick of that stuff in the gaming industry.
Cool stuff
...when is e3 anyways? or e for all
E3 is July 11th-13th while E For All is in October
the hardware thing is either colored Wiis or the hard drive...
I think the same thing too

The could reveal the Gameboy.
i was playing mario party the other day and i saw a racing game, looked like mario cart and was wondering when it would appear. its only apporpriate
the wiidvd was what i was thinking for the hardware and i want SSBB so baddddd
I would be very surprised to see Ninty release a hard drive for Wii. It doesn't make any sense, especially with their push toward smaller, mobile technologies. So what if VC games hit 350MB? A 4 or 8GB SD card will hold plenty of them.
Completely speculative prediction for N's hardware announcement? A DS redesign with a SD slot to allow you to play your purchased VC games on the go.
...what?
Does anyone think they already have a release date, but there just being mean about it? Or is it just me..
so many rumors floating out there: how likely are they?
Zapper cradle for Wii remote with Duck Hunt or sequel (very likely)
DS Lite colors (very likely)
Wii controller colors (likely)
Available indie dev kits (likely)
Original VC games and developers (likely)
USB and Bluetooth keyboard support (likely)
More integration between DS and Wii including DS downloads (likely)
New Wii channel (maybe)
New VC emulators (maybe)
Expanded Mii options (maybe)
Non-game Wii software (maybe)
Excercise and fitness program (maybe)
Wii headset for (nonexistent) online play (unlikely)
Price reduction if MS or Sony announces one (unlikely)
More VC offerings more often (unlikely)
DVD dongle for USA (very unlikely)
New Wii console colors (very unlikely)
DS with two touch screens (extremely unlikely)
New Wii factory (extremely unlikely)
New Wii hard drive (extremely unlikely)
New Wii with larger internal storage capacity (extremely unlikely)
New Wii with additional CPU/GPU/HD capability (no way)
I'd say Brawl wiil be playable at E3. If Kojima can play it then why not everyone else? It's ready. After people have their impressions of the game, that's when you make it playable at EfA and let the public have a share to get them hyped about it.
