To quote The Strokes, ''Is this it''? It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean? Is that what Nintendo's hoping? Question mark? |

I hope. It's not 100% confirmed yet, hence all the questions. It's going to be an action packed Tuesday. |

no way!? (the first half of that movie is hype shit, fast foward) |

it's a fake |

Is that for real?! |

Ditto. I severly doubt the revolution will be anywhere near as "revolutionary" as people are making out (VR headsets, 3d holographs, etc.) If you ask me, it'll be more likely to be a 'novelty input' like DS' touch screen, or similar. Nintendo learnt that VR was a dead end back in the virtual boy days. They won't make the same mistake twice... |

nintendo product hype cycle is nearing the apple product hype cycle. |

If I had to choose between compactness and functionality in a console, I would choose increased functionality. I mean, for something that's going to go on my shelf and sit there, for the most part, without moving for 3 years or so I don't understand why nintendo is trying to make their shit so small. |

Yes, I think they knew full well the storm of hype they'd whip up by dropping hints that it'd be something truly original. Must of worked; Even people like IGN are (half seriously) speculating it'll be 3d holograph projection. Don't get me wrong, I'd happily eat my words if they brought one out and it absolutely trounced the PS3/360 with something really revolutionary (no pun intended), I just don't think it'll happen. Spoke to a game store today and they reckoned Spring 2006 as the release date for the "3 DVD Case sized" box. |

check it out guys, the newest tendo console fits on my keyring, and comes with a hiking backpack for my 37 inch panasonic television. |

i only hope it will not be too expensive. i don't think will technically beat the ps3, and definitely not the 360, but they do have good imagination over at nintendo. luckily, one of the benefits of nintendo is high quality games, so even if the new console wouldn't beat the new stations and boxes it will still probably be worth the money |

I really want to see the controller, or the mind control chip that you plug into your brain or whatever it is the ''Revolution'' is going to be (I'm thinking what Ceri's thinking). Another angle of this BEAUTY- |

Whatever happened to VR? I remember back in the early 90s, everyone was getting really excited about it..... VR in arcades (I remember they used to say that you shouldn't drive a car for at least 30 minutes afterwards)...... the Lawnmower Man..... Virtual Boy..... then - nothing?! What went wrong? I don't play computer games but, to me, VR still seems a really good idea - a truly immersive environment as opposed to a flat 2D screen several feet away. What happened? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

At the time computer power wasn't up to very good graphics and controller gloves etc. felt unnatural (I had a go on a couple). With modern graphics they could be better, but it still wouldn't remove the slightly unreal, disconnected feeling that comes from things like seeing your feet in the game not tying in ith what your feet are doing IRL. Really, you'd need motion capture style markers on all parts of your body (more likely now that it'd be wi-fi enabled bands you'd wear on your limbs). It is also bad for your eyes to use headsets for prolonged periods, meaning anything other than arcade style games is a bit of a no no. Wouldn't be very good to have a great immersive VR RPG, only to have to stop playing for half an hour, every 20 minutes. |

Remember how everyone thought the n64/gamecube/DS would look before it came out? I think it'll look slightly more interesting than a grey square box. Althought, I'm pretty sure it'll be grey because the DS's are grey, and they are supposed to be compatible with the Revolution. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah basically people were throwing up afterwards and there was no way to rectify this. Didn't the guy who designed the Virtual Boy kill himself or is that just a geeks urban myth. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
WOWOWOW! wonderful! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

hmm ' _ ' not too sure i like this design. i think i like it better without the white thing that makes it look slanted... |
||||||||
|
|

wew this looks pretty nice, small as hell, cant wait to play it |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
WAIT! i thought nintendo were going with them mini disks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Apparently that thing will play everything from GC games to DVDs. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
no he was involved in a car accident...he crashed or was run over or something, i cant remember...but *not* suicide. and this happened years after virtual boy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm. seems that revolution will has the normal DVD... not the mini DVD.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I am glad that they have chosen to use a "normal" sized disk. I was working on a multiplatform game for PS2, Xbox and Gamecube and to fit all the data on those stupid little disks was a headache and if you have more than one system and you play a multi platform game you will see that the gamecube version will be missing small elements of the other version. Nintendo really shot themselves in the foot by choosing to use cartrages for the N64 rather than CDs. I think if they had gone with CDs they would have been as popular as Play Station. |

Nintendo press conference on... New GB Advance Micro. Revolution to feature backwards compatibility with 20 years of downloadable games... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I want to know the REAL name of this thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want to see the controller... the name probably IS "Revolution" : | |
||||||||
|
|

best design out of the new systems. kudos to nintendo for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
props to nintendo for doing their very best to be just like sony and microsoft by releasing a console that looks like a designer dvd/cd player instead of a game machine. consoles died after the n64. too bad. my guess is that this one will only have wireless controllers with proprietary nintendo batteries. a cord would tilt that thing over. |

Cheers :) I'd been wondering what had happened to VR. Despite not being a games-player, I still hope that one day they'll sort it out as it seems the best idea to me. I remember about 10 years ago watching some games show on TV (really can't remember which one it was) and they were showing some fantasy RPG style game in VR - going round fighting dragons, elves and stuff using a sword. It looked amazing at the time. |

|
|
not a games player? ahem the name..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was a games player as a young 'un, hence the name - a 1980s classic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it still retains that old-school Nintendo feel (I still remember how I felt when I cast my eye over the beutiful (S)NES for the first time, and subsequently purchased both) whilst, at the same time, it looks pretty post-modern. So kudos indeed. Love to see more of it.. |
