We're at T-minus 75 minutes to Iwata's GDC keynote and the early word on the internet is that something big is going to go down. See, today happens to be the anniversary of WiiWare's launch in Japan and the word from Joystiq is that Wii Shopping Channels worldwide are "down for maintenance." It's set to come back up at 2 AM Tokyo time-- the exact moment when Iwata's keynote is officially over.
Fans, fire up your Wiis and get ready to download something when the keynote's over. We'll be eyeballing all the liveblogs and be back around that time with a comprehensive synopsis of what was announced for when and why you should care. Rumors are pointing to something called the "Wii Qube" and "Wii Relax", from the same Euro sources that earlier this week confirmed Balance Board support for Punch-Out!!
