Now that

is very sleek and small to conseal, if you had to hide a console from your wife I'm sure one could figure something out. Doesn't really fit the bigger is better American mantra though so in my personal opinion may not fare as well. Though for the casual gamer or gamer sophiticate it may do well at something to hide int he background. We are reaching a point in video game history where much of the gaphics will all looks the same and only see minor differences in texture and lighting capability. Now it can be about the games, the popularity gained by having a certain console, and what one wants in their gaming machine.

The next generation is really shaping up to be amazing. I can't wait to hear some concrete specs and pricing to really lay out the analysis.

Great job Nintendo for showing us yet once again what a game console should be.

Nintendo has created a sharp piece of machinery. Microsoft has possibly the least impressive looking console out of the 3. :-(

how in the hell is a remake of the gameboy a revolution? it is the same thing that has been availible long time ago. even the gameboy advance sp is better.

i hope it blows up in nintendos face.

Very sexy indeed

Absolutely tiny and a huge step away from the Cube. Though I am an Xbox fan myself, the Revolution looks likely to be a promising machine. Especially if you can download all the old games like the original Mario Brothers, Kid Icarus or Ice Climber. To have a library of great classic retro games is a surefire way of attracting us Old School gamers.

Nice design, pity about the rest of it...
by Jamie314 May 18, 2005 4:13 PM PDT
Excellent design by Nintendo... at least Apple isn't the only one leading a Revolution.

However, the rest of it worries me. Yes, it is trying to be just 'about the games', but without the raw power to make those games truly realistic and eye catching.

The other oddity: a downloadable back catalog of games. Excellent idea.... wheres the hard drive to store them on? Sure there's 512MB flash storage... but that won't hold a GameCube game. Anyone else wonder about this?

Backwards compatibily rocks... big time.
by musicman2059 May 19, 2005 1:01 PM PDT
I'm thinking more like SMB, Lufia II, StarFox 64, F-Zero X... It'll be the first system (for Nintendo at least) that can play any game from any Nintendo console... now THAT's going back.

And they'll probably make quite a bit of money doing it. (Unless they decide to keep it free, which I don't think Nintendo would do.)

Yep... Nintendo's been hit hard over these last few years, but it's comeback time.

What console do you play when you have party?
by May 20, 2005 11:25 AM PDT
For all the parties I went to, Nintendo was the most played console. I can see everyone taking turn playing Mario Karts and all that Mario games series. With all consoles and PCs games availiable to play, we still pick Nintendo at the party (we acutally bring Nintendo gameCube to a party because it will be play). With up to 4 people and not much of a gaming skill needed to play. Everyone can actually enjoy plying it.
Nintendo need a new marketing plan, do not try to complete with super long super cool graphics games or MMOPGs. People just want to have fun and that is all matter.
