Nintendo E3 Press Confered (Revolution news + Gameboy Micro!)
Keep all Revolution discussion here, all XBox 360 and PS3 discussion in there respective threads. Thanks.
Here's a leaked photo:
And from various web sources.
(USA Today)
Revolution will offer broadband access to a free Internet-based player matching service, similar to Xbox Live, that also will have downloadable versions of nearly every Nintendo game ? from arcade classic Donkey Kong through current titles such as Mario Sunshine. (Nintendo hasn't decided whether downloading will be free),
I'm going to stay away from any hardware speculation until the press conference releases actual details (9a.m. Pacific). I've seen something like 2-3x more powerful than the GameCube... whatever that could possibly mean in real terms...

We'll see what kind of graphics it can do later. Or more importantly, what kind of games it will play. Resident Evil 4 should teach all doubters about Nintendo's ability to pump out good graphics.

If that's the case I definitely think it's the best of the three. Look how small it is, it's about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked on top of each other and a little bit longer.

You'd think that, but people still run off their mouths with drivel about the Cube's capabilities. \
I've wanted to hear details about Revolution more than any other console, but the PS3 looks to be an incredible gaming machine. As G_Warren said, 2006 looks to be a good year for consoles.
*edit* (Hurrah and all that jazz for the 100th post from this lurker.)
Sony may score a coup as a next gen media player, I wonder if Nintendo will give DVD-HD or BRD playback capabilities?
I think.
Revolution will be "two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube," according to Nintendo, which also acknowledges that the next-generation race isn't solely about new technologies. By contrast, Microsoft's Xbox 360 console is 13-15 times more powerful than the first, according to the publisher. And Sony says it's PlayStation 3 is roughly 35 times more powerful than PlayStation 2.
Well, there are our meaningless number comparisons. OMG NINTENDO SI PS3NED!!!! But it's apparently compact, quick to start up and features free online support. I look forward to seeing what else it brings.
25 developers making wireless-enabled DS games.
Nintendogs!
"A hair bigger and 2/3s the weight of an iPod mini. Plays every gameboy advance game."
I love consoles and I love Nintendo. Depending on media playback capabilities, I may have to get a PS3 as well though. I love how the PS2 plays DVDs. I didn't get one, however, because it doesn't have any games I like. I didn't get a Cube because, well, my roommate had one. The Rev looks cool and I like its size. Next gen movie playback support is key though I think to its success. And lets hope the controllers aren't retarded like the Cube's.
I WANT PERFECT DARK ON THE REVOLUTION!
That is a killer multi-player game, and now you can have that same fun any damned time without waiting for your smelly meatworld friends to come over.
Miyamoto has a whole new game coming out for this mother.
New Zeldas and Marios and Metroids, of course.
With the Revolution you can download every goddam Nintendo game ever made.
NES, SNES & N64. Download those bitches off Mr. Intarweb and play them on your Revolution.
Holy farking cuss words.
I got your backwards compatability *right here*!
