after the onslaught of all the ps3's new info today, tomorrow will be nintendo president Satoru Iwata's speech (occuring 4.30am our time). Apparently the final name of the system will be announced (I hope it stays Rev or something like Nintendo RS to stay in line with the ds.

Anyway, I'll update some news on here later, but for now, some new pics have come out of GDC that show the sexiness and smallness of this machine :P the back is shown with 2 usb ports and it looks like the AV out is the same as the gamecubes digital AV out so you can use your component cables with it. yay!

click the pics for a closer look

god that looks so sexy :)

i really like their new concept with the interface...its a bit of a toss up if it will catch on though. microsoft and sony have massive marketing funds now.

Its pretty small, eh!

Is that bottom thing just a stand? It looks like you might be able to pull it out of that and keep it horizontally maybe?

sure does look sexy. wont surpass ps3 in sales though. should surpass xbox360 easy.
yep it looks like its just a stand

well, theyre totally not going for the sony/xb fight anyway, they still make the great 1st party games, and still make mad amounts of money, they are doing things right for the fans and themselves so I dunno whats wrong with that.

it may be surprising though, and catch on a lot, just like the DS has been owning the psp, even though its the underpowered machine. it's all in the software :P

yer well nintendo is most well known for its portable consoles. it was sonys first foray into portables so its pretty understandable that ds would do better.

I don't think you can use that as a reason why the PSP sucks balls. Remember the Playstation was Sonys first entry into the console market and that owned the N64.

I wantttssss it.

I just noticed the main 'revmote' has been changed having 'a' and 'b' written next to the renamed 'x' and 'y' buttons. so if you turn it on the side you can play nes games :P

The bottom thing appears to be a powerback, but I've heard about the possibility of a horizontal version.

do YOU come with the nintendo?

looks like an over sized iPod.

looks like an over sized iPod.

but wont cost as much from what I read. Only $300(US i think)

id say around 200 USD. every nintendo console in the past has at that price point and most speculation points to that price..

Ha! Even better, also Miyamoto has said that the new up coming Zelda: TP will be playable using the Revolution controler!

looks terrible

there's a reason why we don't make computer cases like we did back in the 90s, thanks for reminding us nintendo

Unfortunately he apparently took this back a couple of weeks later - he didn't rule it out completely, but said that the original interviewer had slightly misquoted him or something.

I can't f***ing wait for this!

nintendo took it back, but when twilight princess was delayed until november, miyamoto said it again just the other day :)

Yep thats what I thought heres the article Dated Mar 16, 2006

I have this gut feeling in my gut telling me that the nin rev is going to be a flop. But my other gut feeling in my gut is that i think i'm person afraid of change.
