I don't normally like to take rumors from message boards, but considering how plausible it sounds, what the hell. According to this
dude named Dexterity on the MacRumors forums (yeah, I don't know why a Mac guy knows about the Wii, but whatever), the online beta testing of the Wii will take place from Sept. 18 to Oct. 23. He says the testing will cover the "Wii Connect 24, the Virtual Console and 'other' online features."
I'm sure this guy is just talking out of his ass, but you never know. While this rumor may seem like doom for those expecting an earlier-than-thought Wii release date, fear not my little fanboys, because it doesn't necessarily mean that. The system could easily launch without full testing and since 3rd party devs won't be able to include online play until 2007, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
Besides, I'd much rather have the Wii in my home ASAP. I'm sure all of us would gladly take the system as is and be a part of any massive beta test Nintendo would like to throw at us.
Thanks goes to my boy Yonnage for giving me the tip.
