From someone who has owned all Nintendo consoles I give you this advice:
Step 1: Find Nintendo's 1st announced release date for a game
Step 2: Add 4 or 5 months
Step 3: Pray it doesn't get delayed any more than that.
EDIT:
Here is the press release:

Says "Spring 2008," but that may have been changed before this was posted.
Never the less, I would not count on it being released in the spring.
I am a Gauntlet Adventurer. I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly.
