so hilarious that i would like to find the person who thought of the content of that press release and the marketing manager and bang their heads together ...

(.. not really, i'm just trying to be funny too...)

The sad thing is, people will actually try and decode the press release.

They haven't anounced launch details and certainly woulden't do it through a measely press release. They'll probably save that news for TGS.
Still wanted to putt out a press releases detailing games for the established platforms so they went this route.

That's actually hilarious, I though. Just because some peeps will go absolutely nuts trying to figure it out.

Nintendo DS� owners are the big winners. Every week or so, another huge DS title hits, from the Touch Generations title Clubhouse Games� to fan favorites like Elite Beat Agents� and Yoshi�s Island� 2. Clearly a gamer�s idea of paradise, here is Nintendo�s upcoming DS lineup:

Oct. 9: Clubhouse Games�
Oct. 16: Nintendogs� (Dalmatian)
Oct. 23: Magical Starsign�
Oct. 30: Pok�mon� Ranger
Oct. 30: Children of Mana�
Nov. 6: Elite Beat Agents�
Nov. 13: Yoshi�s Island� 2
Dec. 4: Custom Robo� Arena
Dec. 4: Kirby� Squeak Squad

And, for Nintendo GameCube� owners, The Legend of Zelda�: Twilight Princess will be available for you this fall. An enhanced version also will be a launch title for Wii. That will all happen on � Oh look, we�re out of space.

And with that official press release comes some Wii release speculation, which I found via Joystiq.

The fourth quarter begins on October 1. Now look at the list. At least one game is released every Monday in the fourth quarter except for the following dates: October 2, November 20 and November 27. November 27 is after Black Friday, so it�s out. November 20 is after the launch of the PS3, so that�s out too. That leaves us with October 2. The Wii will launch on October 2.

So, it's absolutely official, October 2nd is the Wii launch date.

The article says:
Wii is also to be released in the fourth quarter of 2006, but the company just thought it would tease us all a little, by only telling us about GBA, DS and GameCube titles.

This is how we know they're lying. Gamecube titles? And monkeys might fly out of my butt!

I hope I won't be near when that happens.
