Today, E3 showed a Press Conference of Nintendos New Products! It aired this morning on 9:00 AM PST. Im sure you all know about the



Yep Thats the revolution alright. but i bet you also didnt know about the



GAME BOY MICRO! It plays GBA games and you can add many different kinds of face plates on the front. But this portable system is not for popularity, it will be used to add to what others say when SP+DS vs. PSP to SP+DS+GBAM vs. PSP. really from 2vs1 to 2 and a half vs. 1. (i dont think that made much sense) but moving on!

Nintendo's Revolution

1-Wireless Online Wi-Fi capabilities built into the system.
2-512 mb of storage for memory storage like a built in memory card and i think its detachable
3-IBM technology + ATI video cards (since ATI and Nintendo are partners) ^.^
4-You can play DVDS!
5-The Capability to play Gamecube Games + the 12 cm i dont remember revolution cd games.
6-Not Really a feature but there is surely going to be a smash bros video game coming with the revolution since its the Nintendo President's Favorite Video game of all time XD. Hooray.
7-This is the mother of them all, and this is why they call it, THE REVOLUTION!

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ALL GAMES FROM NES+SNES+N64 GAMES VIA WI-FI AND HOLD THEM IN THE 512 MB OF STORAGE THATS BUILT IN! For a fee but Nintendo promises to make all downloads cheap.
(Not gamecube games because Gamecube is still popular)

The thing that sucks is that they havent showed the controllers yet but all controllers will be wireless, that means NO MORE WIRED CONTROLLERS!

More Features are being made but havent been spoken of or leaked, more info will be told by before the end of this year.

The Revolution will make its way in the year 2006.

No the micro can only play gba games. its not supposed to be popular but just help the DS take over the PSP. I recommend either getting the Revolution or the Xbox 360. the PS3 is just way over priced. $483 for the system. Xbox 360 has a confirmed date which will be November 8, 2005. im thinking of getting both but im sure i will play the revolution more than the 360 ;D.

Nintendo has made many consoles

NES
SNES
Virtual Boy
Game boy
Game boy Pocket
Game Boy Color
(The other gameboys)
Nintendo 64
Gamecube
DS
and soon the Revolution.

The best one? SNES duh! *shot*

As for my thoughts on the revolution, well.... We'll see.... It's alittle early in the game right now. If it can play gamecube games though thats a big plus. Dreamcast should've been able to play saturn games. I probably woulda got into it sooner...

Oh something I'd like to say about the controlers. I really hope they make the D pads bigger! The gamecube ones are way too small! Thats the only problem i have with the gamecube controllers. Bigger D pads! Okay.... I'm done.

O.O, for a second there i thought u stole blue bmans avatar and sig lol. i rewatched the video and i think i missed hearing the "purchase" word when they said u can download 20 years of nintendo content. i couldnt really hear it because of the crowd going insane >.<

EDIT-There was a rumor about a Nintendo virtual Reality system that u can play on Gamecube and the Nintendo's Revolution.

Doubtfull and why would it matter?! Just buy the system I mean really enough emulation when you can have it working flawless with that.

Heres an update, you can only download the games if you pay a fee *moan*, but the good thing is they promise the fee to be very cheap. they are thinking to sell Pre-Paid cards and use them to download the games or to pay a fee when u download a game individually, i think the pre-paid cards are better.

I was the guest earlier.

I do not like 3d gaming, so I will not buy a console just so I can play games for the consoles I already have... unless it is cheap, but it probably will not be... and I would miss blowing the dust out of the cartrides.

lmao isn't blowing the dust out just so classic? Most people look at it as an annoying chore but hey..... we've come to like it. It's just not old school without dust blowing!
