LLOOOOLLLL the music that plays when the nintendo ds part is on is from final fantasy XI [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img], good video though

Its so hard to have one console and think its enough. I'm buying em both (xbox and nintendo) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

holy cow...............................

here i was thinking the new xbox was pretty sweet....but i shouldve known that the earlier systems always seem to pale in comparison to what the later ones will have to offer

so much for me not planning on buying a next gen system right when they come out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

er....didnt catch the mock-up part....
but i still hear there's supposed to be 3d projection of some sort regardless

[Xollence]

Wow that system looks amazing. I wonder how much its gonna cost.

I really hope that dosen't turn out to be the real revolution console. I think the whole virtual reality headset is just dumb. Can you honestly imagine yourself walking around in your living room wearing that thing, punching and kicking at invisible bad guys only you can see. Seems like a system which only exists to embarass the person who gets caught using it. Although seems like it won't be a headset system, especially after seeing this gamespot article.

If I remember correctly, Nintendo once made a console with VR (color red, maybe someone remembers it) that didn't sell well.

Virtual Boy. I only remember there being a Wario game for it. Maybe there was a Metroid title for it too... can't remember too much. I DO remember the commercials for it though. They had some wild-man lookin guy either chasing or being chased by the Virtual Boy (which had legs or something).

It was an odd bit of marketing...

The Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005 is still days away, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from debuting its Xbox 360 console on MTV. And now Nintendo has followed suit, revealing some new, meaty details about its next-generation console, codenamed Revolution.

In a recent New York Times article, Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs Perrin Kaplan describes the console as "very, very sleek." The system, which is reportedly tiny, will stand horizontally. Its height will reportedly be no more than three DVD cases stacked flatly on each other, or slightly more than an inch. That makes the console theoretically smaller than Apple's recently released Mac Mini computer.

Although Nintendo has historically selected proprietary media formats, such as the GameCube Optical Disc, for its platforms, the publisher is with Revolution opting for a more standardized medium. The new console will play standard DVD media, according to the company. Nintendo has not yet revealed if Revolution will as a result be able to play Hollywood movies on DVD, but that seems very likely at this point.

At the Game Developers' Conference in March, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that Revolution would offer Wi-Fi online connections out of the box and would be backward compatible with GameCube, or able to play GCN software.

According to recent information, Revolution will also be able to play high-definition games and regularly go online.

Finally -- something of a no-brainer given the popularity of the Wave Bird pads -- Revolution's still-secret controller will be completely wireless. Controllers for Microsoft's Xbox 360 are also wireless. Upon hearing this news, puppies everywhere let out a collective cry.

More details to come at E3 2005. Stay tuned.

Pictures!

The Revolution looks like my modem. Ahh, the future in the gaming industry. I can see that they finally decided to use the bigger disks. That was a flaw when GC came out.

Kirby video

Of course nintendo didn't tell us jack shit about the revolution, sigh. Grrr I guess they decided to test the waters by revealing the prototype. Hopefully they'll beef up the specs so it has a better chance of competing with the PS3. I'm guessing that the revolution won't be as powerful as the PS3 but it will be much more beefy then the Xbox 360

Also, that Kirby video is apparently for GC, but was posted in a Revolution thread on SA for no real reason.

You weren't able to play dvds with it. Though you can buy a dvd for maybe 20 bucks now. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. Also, another flaw with the GC was the saving. Not only did you need a memory card every time you buy a game but, the memory cards were blocks instead of bytes. At least since it came out, more memory cards with more blocks have been released. I myself have a full 50 block, and bought a 120 block. You'd be suprised at how fast the blocks get filled. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Totally radical or what?

i assure you, the reason it didn't sell well was NOT because people felt embarassed


im glad i couldn't play dvds on my gamecube. That reason alone made the system like, $100 cheaper. I've already got at least 3 other devices that can play dvds anyway, why waste the money?

besides, you're not considering the advantages to the mini disk......
1) there are smaller storage systems for the smaller disk, as well as the fact that the gamecube itself can be smaller. This is very handy for someone like me who flew alot.

2) can you say "possible handheld gamecube market"? I sure can.

Sure it might not hold as much as a dvd...but you cant call it a FLAW when it was done intentional and didnt really factor into anything significantly either way.

And where do you get this "buy a card for each game" nonsense? all i need is one of those black medium-sized cards (forgot how big they were), and i'm set.
