This is like a dream come true! This might make it so that EVERY Sonic game will be playable on Gamecube! WOO!

I don't understand why the whole internet is saying this, I guess not many people realize that Zelda is a girl. Yes, you have always been playing The Legend of "A Princess." The series is about a Princess. I know you are trying to be funny, but most everyone seems to be ticked about the title and whining. I think ti sounds great, personally.

[munch]

I really like the title to the new zelda. then again, i am a fanboy. so, teh noo title is roxxxx!!!

[greyzieoriental]

sounds better than wind waker

all that matters is that the game is gonna be great, and the logo for it also looks cool

[Zmonkay]

If that's the official logo, me likey a lot! kinda reminds me of Okami, but whatevah, looks cool

[Zmonkay]

its hard to picture what they could make another collection out of, sonic shuffle and sonic r?

They could include Sonic 3D blast (Saturn, Genesis, and Gamegear versions all)

maybe they'll throw in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 just for the hell of it

Hey, maybe they'll include the extra 3d part of Sonic Jam, that'd be something many people never "played"

Don't forget Sonic X-treme. Maybe Sega saved the old code before they canned it.

[thehuskerfan]

I did like the sword in the game trailer logo.
I hope they incorporate that somehow.

[CaseyRyback]

where did you hear this?

it is in Game Informer

[guyver2077]

cant wait to see reggie tommorrow

[FriskyTanuki]

cant wait to see regis tommorrow
How about you watch Reggie afterwards? I don't really care much for Regis.

[guyver2077]

lol thanks for the correction..lil tired..

i love reggie!!!

[maxflight]

lol no love for Regis!!

[Gameboy415]

its hard to picture what they could make another collection out of, sonic shuffle and sonic r?

Oh wow, I had completely forgotten about Sonic Shuffle!

Here's games I think should/hopefully will be included:

Sonic: The Fighters
Sonic CD
Knuckles Chaotix
Sonic R
Sonic 3D Blast (saturn version)
SegaSonic The Hedgehog (3D Trackball arcade game)
Sonic Shuffle

And maybe as a bonus:
Nights/Burning Rangers/some other Saturn games

I'd honestly be happy with just Sonic: The Fighters, I've wanted to play that game FOREVER!

[Apossum]

god, i hope they reveal the revolution tomorrow...will they be streaming their conference?

[Saucy Jack]

god, i hope they reveal the revolution tomorrow...

Me, too. Wouldn't that be awesome if the Revolution turns out to be a monster system that outdoes all the others? Online play would be nice, too. But, since it's Nintendo, we know it will be good. :)

[FriskyTanuki]

god, i hope they reveal the revolution tomorrow...will they be streaming their conference?
http://www.nintendo.com/ shows a little counter in the top-right side of the page that will most likely lead to their streaming of their conference.

after the ps3 unveiling i am really anxious to see what nintendo has in store for us

[easy_g]

the counter counts down to one hour AFTER the conference. But i really hope they do have a stream of it, otherwise i'll be disappointed.

I read some of the info on that site. Pretty interesting, especially about a Mario & Luigi sequel as well as a new 2-D Metroid for the DS. I'll be psyched if it turns out to be true, but for now I am taking EVERYTHING I read with a grain of salt.

Man, I hope Nintendo really makes an impression with Revolution. They need a comeback in the worst way, and I fear this could be their last generation as a hardware company if they don't have some really good ideas.

[MorPhiend]

The specs look to be exactly wat has been rumored for the past year. But they are good, nonetheless. And the "bad" news is just BS. There is no reason for not having HD support. GCN had progressive scan games and The Revolution, we know, supports VGA. Why leave out HD? It's not that it makes zero sense, it makes negative sense. And I wouldn't doubt higher prices. EA has already more than promised this for all consoles. But Harrison bragging about it, and saying that it is essentially because they are greedy? Yeah, right.

[RAMSTORIA]

ill be sad if there is no hd support, even though i dont have an hdtv yet

[goosedude]

I hope they have at lease 480p support (ala the GAMECUBE).
Why Nintendo made you have to custom order that stupid cable from the website was beyond me.....yes it makes a huge difference on Gamecube games....the few that explicity support it.

[greyzieoriental]

y the cable cost 35$ is my question, thats like 1/3 of the console cost
hopefully the revolution is component cable backwards compatible(if it supports hd)
very disappointed if nintendo does that, it'll make no sense

or better if all next gen consoles came with components out the box

[sabin23]

Just when you think Nintendo learned their lessons from Gamecube's downfall (lack of online and crappy storage medium) with Revolution's planned online capabilities and DVD capacity... they pull something boneheaded like lack of HDTV support.

I guess we can kiss 1080i, 16:9 widescreen compatibility goodbye. Here's one more thing the critics will knock Nintendo for. I hope this NY Times report proves false at their press conference on Tuesday.

[MorPhiend]

The Times is always wrong. They probably will be again. It just sounds like biased bashing (common against Nintendo these days) because that is completely nonsensical. There is no viable reason to do that. That is the opposite direction that anyone is headed (including Nintendo).

[Monsta Mack]

IMHO Nintendo (console wise, not GBA and DS, the GBA owns and the DS is getting good support after summer) needs to wake the fuck up and get online with their console and get more third party support. There was even a month this year where they had no titles released at all. Their lack of faith in the online force is VERY disturbing, and outside of RE4, Zelda, Killer 7 and Fire Emblem I'm looking forward to little this year from the big N. Hopefully Reggie steals the show again and some impressive titles come out for the Cube, and the revolution gets the best specs out of all the systems. Heres hoping... otherwise I'll be buying the revolution at $100.

EA has already more than promised this for all consoles. But Harrison bragging about it, and saying that it is essentially because they are greedy? Yeah, right.

I certainly hope you are right about the HD support. I've had a Gamecube since Dec. 2003 and just got a PS2 this year for some RPG playing. I have both hooked up using component cables and run in progressive scan/widescreen when possible. The GC is VASTLY superior - on my 51" TV anyway. The PS3 sounds incredible though, and if Nintendo can't offer 1080I/780P, or at a *minimum* 480P, they quickly become my least favorite (don't see the need for the 1080P right now but it is nice the PS3 will have it). I've had my HDTV since Oct. 2003 and have yet to put any true HD content on it - I had hoped the Revolution would provide that (in addition to the PS3). If the Revolution doesn't have it, I will be getting the PS3 at launch and waiting on the Revolution to drop in price - this despite having 3 kids who love all the Nintendo franchises.

They would be making a HUGE mistake not to support HD as it will definitely become widespread during the next generation lifespans. The DS game announcements from Nintendo sound great - but they will spoil everything for me, though, if they drop the ball on HD.

I got my Gamecube for the kids for Christmas 2003. I made sure to order, get the cable, and have it plugged in and ready to go before Christmas. I have never played a GC without component display and just about every game has been great on my TV - even those that don't support progressive scan. Some of the PS2 games, on the other hand, give me a headache.

Actually, it seems that most of the games we have support 480P on the Gamecube - definitely more than half, and we have 40-50 games. Why they dropped it from the newer Cubes is beyond me...

y the cable cost 35$ is my question, thats like 1/3 of the console cost

very disappointed if nintendo does that, it'll make no sense

or better if all next gen consoles came with components out the box

Yes, on the other hand, I think Nintendo probably made a shrewd business decision with that one - after dropping $1000-$2000 on an HDTV people are definitely going to go to them for the $35 cable to take advantage of it. For the next generation, though, they might not be able to get away with it :D.

I still doubt that *any* of the new consoles will come with component out of the box though. For the same reason as Nintendo was able to get away with the GC cable - HD users will seek out and buy the right cable and the console makers don't need to absorb that cost.

[dd_mcdoodle]

Just saw some new Zelda screens on AMN. Link: http://gc.advancedmn.com/media.php?gameid=989
Can't wait.

[sabin23]

I paid the $35 for GC component cables direct from Nintendo when the system first came out... I was surprised to hear that all new GC had the component cable option gutted a few months ago!

Kind of a techical question here... The TV I bought in 2001 (34-inch 16:9 Panasonic Tau) can display 480p and 1080i... but for some odd reason, cannot do 720. I believe most XBox and PS3 games will be required to push 720, with only the occasional 1080 game (GT5 for example).

So am I screwed? Will I have to buy a new TV set just to take advantage of most of the 720 games?

Well, since I haven't dealt with true HD content I'm not positive, but my Sony HDTV is 1080i, and I believe it converts 780p signals internally to display in 1080i. So it probably isn't as good as a native 780p (like the Samsung DLPs), but I'm sure much better than 480i! The PS3, certainly, had better work nicely with my Sony HDTV!

[goosedude]

Most likely the resolution will be choosable in the menu for the consoles to match your TV....the current XBOX does it.

Then again.....if your TV converts everything....its a moot point.

As I thought about it.....I realized one of the possible reasons Nintendo would leave out HD resolution in the console is if there is a conflict with any 3D Technology (as rumored...which would be cool).

I guess we'll find out in a couple hours. That....or they are aiming this console at it being only on a family's 2nd TV (i.e. The Kids' TV) and for casual DVD viewing.....which is very possible since they like to keep costs down low. It'd better be at least progressive scan (480p).

[evilmax17]

4 hours. I hope the no-HD rumors are false.

I can't believe I got up this early and the conference isn't til 11 AM here (CST)! ARGH!

[punqsux]

i definetly have to say this is the nicest looking of the next gen systems...simple and to the points, i dig it.

[cdeener]

Just go to www.nintendo.com. They have the counter running and everything. That is sweet. I will be watching during my lunch break at work.

[punqsux]

i like this as well:

Nintendo says their new console is only two or three times as powerful as the GameCube. "It's not all about having 'turbo power,' " Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan told USA Today. "It's about what you do with it."

[scdoanintendo]

Wow that grey peice on the bottom is the stand, this thing is small. I just hope Nintendo supports hd and pumps out decent graphics. With the 360 and PS3 showing amazing tech videos of graphics and strong support of HD it gives the casual gamer what they want/expect, great graphics with a next gen-system. If the Revolution is underpowered it's just going to be another disadvantage for Nintendo along with the veiw of being a kiddy system to the casual gamer ( I know it looks very adult ).

just scroll down and find me name ok .

Based on the clock on the website the Nintendo conference is at 10:00 a.m. PST not at 9:00 a.m. PST. Which means that it won't start here until 1:00 p.m. EST.

Isn't that the countdown to E3 and not the conf.? Please? I hope?

[jam3582]

I dunno I think they are being a bit vague on the comment about it being 3 times more powerful than the gamecube . I dont wanna kno about upcoming nintendos games ( I mean we all know whats comming right) who cares I wanna kno what
the Fuck is so revolutionary about the revolution . I wanna see of that augmented reality thats rumored to be part of it . If they dont show that the only thing that would be "revolutionary " would be that damn controller with a touch screen or something like that.

[WildWop]

Great, thanks. Looks like Nintendo actually signed a modern industrial designer this time.

Holy exaggeration Batman!

[maddfrog]

The funny thing to look at is the logo for the Revolution (which I'm surprised that they actually kept the development name for once). But does anyone else notice how the first 'O' is bigger than the section one, and that they are bold to make it so you're attracted to it more? I wonder if that has something to do with the whole revolutionary aspect of it. The first thing that it makes me thing about is that it will be able to play regular DVDs and also the GameCube DVDs. I'm hoping thats not the big selling point, of if it is, they have something up their sleves thats creative.....

[crystalklear64]

I think I saw somewhere the words, Nintendo On...

[Quillion]

I'm skeptical of these numbers

Nintendo: 2 to 3 times more powerful
Microsoft: 13-15 times more powerful
Sony: Thirty-Five times more powerful

I remember when sony was launching the PS2 they were bascially saying "When you turn it on you hear the voice of GOD." And all that crap about it being a supercomputer that you couldn't export.

Nintendo played it down, said that it would be powerful enough to play good games. The Gamecube turned out more powerful than the ps2.

[Zoglog]

if that is the real design then It's suprising how they came out with the best looking unit... the games on the other hand...

The DS kept its name also. Unless you count "nitro" as its early developement name.

Revolution should show us something for the sake of its name...

I also hope the no HD is a bunch of crap unless its due to the thing needed "no tv" or maybe it has something to do with it being compatible with PC monitors.


What about the Dual layer DVD.... that seems like a weekness. I mean sony and Microsoft are both going HD or BLue Ray (with 50 times more storage if I am correct)

So once again a Dual Layer DVD will not be enough for multiplatform titles will it?

That seems like a bigger downfall than the HD support. The early adapters and the adapters within the first 2-3 years are the improtant ones as they elevate the userbase and allow more games to go into development at a lesser risk to the game company. HD wont be to widespread within the next 2-3 years. Year 4-5 + it will be a factor but then the cycle is near the end anyway.

Can someone let me know if the Dual layer DVD thing seems to be a problem?

[crystalklear64]

Damn, the Revolution is by far the best looking console. The blue LED's in the disk drive area are a very nice touch. Sexy all around.

You know what I think this is just the way nintendo is counting down to the upload of their information for E3 instead of the conference. Because Sony did this same thing at E3.playstation.com which had a counter that was up until they produced the website with E3 info.

[flizmo007]

I think if you look at the images, there is a separate tray for the mini-dvd's. I may be wrong, but thats what it looks like to me.

[basketkase543]

Well only about 25 minutes until the Gamepot counter expires and we see what its all about.

[evilmax17]

I dont see a memory card slot, plus they talk about downloading games and stuff. HDD?

You mean that rectangular box under the dvd tray? Maybe.

[pumbaa]

The thing looks like the PS2 got smaller and sleeker... is that a blue light emminating from the slot loading disc tray? the Revolution is in the controller people... it's gotta be. I wonder where we are going to plug in wired GCN controller... I wonder if WaveBirds are going to work. I wonder I wonder I wonder.

[crystalklear64]

Eeek.. can't wait, as soon as info is release I expect to see pics for us school/office fellows. Pretty please. :D

[basketkase543]

I've never had a slot-loading machine before. Isn't there a high risk of dust getting in because of the lack of a slot cover?

You mean that rectangular box under the dvd tray? Maybe.
I think that box is just a flip cover for the memory card slots/GC controllers. I wanna know what on the other side of the console though.... Maybe a screen built into the side? This waiting is killing me...

[Grave_Addiction]

Here's another pic of the Revo.

Maybe Nintendo could call it a Gamerectangle.

Usually they put some sort of soft material in the entrance that will allow the entry of disks with out scratching them and keep dust out.

You can click on Nintendo Press Conference link on the page to see the conference. So like I stated earlier the counter is for the site to post information about E3 not for the Press Conference.

i like this as well:

Nintendo says their new console is only two or three times as powerful as the GameCube. "It's not all about having 'turbo power,' " Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan told USA Today. "It's about what you do with it."

Did I call it or what? You can't have a tiny package and keep up with the guys whose boxes include big cooling solutions. Physics and all that.

Nintendo isn't going to play the 'who has the biggest and baddest gun' game anymore. It isn't compatible with their core philosophy. Low cost of entry is more important to them. They'll lose some sales to those who can only think in terms of power but they'll do well if they make good on the promise of uniques experiences.

I expext we'll see a lot more exotic control devices from them to drive those new experiences ala the bongos. The low purchase price of the system will help mitigate the added cost of those controllers which like the bongos may only have a handful of games that support them. so long as those games are fulfilling people aren't goin gto complain, except perhaps about the amount of space consumed by their growing collection of odd input devices.

Considering that it looks like a giant SD card I hope those are supported for storage. They had an adapter to use SD on the GameCube but like a lot of Nintendo stuff they act like it doesn't exist unless you go hunting for it.

[easy_g]

so is there any live feed of the conference that i don't have to pay for?

I still think the 2-3 times figure is modesty.

And the 13-15 and 35 figures are hype.

Theoretically, based on floating point calculations, the PS2 was the strongest of the big three last time, but all the games looked the worst on that system.

The Xbox had beefier video hardware, and thus better graphics, the GCN focused on removing bottlenecks (load time, RAM speed, etc) to grab firm middle ground. I don't think these raw performance numbers are important at all.

My only problem with this is that having the cheaper system is good at the beginning of the console's life, but after the first few rounds of price drops, the system isn't very much cheaper than its competitors. Because of this, it loses a lot of the "value" they were striving for in the beginning, and they now have the weakest system on the market.

I hope Nintendo can come through with an inexpensive system that can hang with Sony and Microsoft in the hardware side of things.

[basketkase543]

I guess we would have to wait until they load onto Nintendo.com

Why don't you think that the Gamespot link will work? Looks good to me so far. 6 minutes and counting to find out.

[easy_g]

yeah, but i had it planned perfectly! Get up an hour early and watch it then head straight to math at 10, get back at 11, and study for midterms. Now I'm kinds of screwed.

My biggest concern is that if there isn't a big leap in technology, and the "revolutionizing" aspects fall short, why even bother releasing a new system? Regardless though, none of us have any concrete info and I'm reserving judgement until after the press conference.

Check out the Revolution pics from IGN. They are of much higher resolution.

Man, that blue loading slot is pretty damn sexy.

[Grave_Addiction]

The Xbox had beefier video hardware, and thus better graphics, the GCN focused on removing bottlenecks (load time, RAM speed, etc) to grab firm middle ground. I don't think these raw performance numbers are important at all.

They were pretty important early in this generation when Sega was honest in their numbers and Sony lied to hell and back in what the PS2 could do. Because of this, all the ignorant gamers flocked to the PS2 and never gave the Dreamcast a chance. In reality, the graphics between the two weren't that different. Had developers been making games on the Dreamcast for four to five years, I bet we could have seen some very pretty looking games.

[easy_g]

well, can anyone who can watch the feed relay info to us?

[Ugamer_X]

I'm sorry, but creating a tiny design with a gloss-black finish doesn't make the system "sleek"...It looks like a friggin' portable HDD.

[pumbaa]

I see nothing... the only feed thats FREE I see is 30 min. delayed at http://www.gccafe.com/.

yup, looks almost like one of the external hard drives I've got now

Maybe I can hide it amongst them, play it on my PC monitor, and people will think i'm playing a Revolution emulator :)

Thanks for the link. It may be delayed but its the best thing we've got. The rest of the feeds are delayed by about an hour.

[cthcky33]

for something that is supposed to be revolutionary, it looks kinda like an HDD/slim ps2/ big dvd case.... and the small jump in power from the GC is kinda worrying

[evilmax17]

damnit...and i leave for work soon...oh well, i'll catch it after work but before episode 3 tonight...

[pumbaa]

Hopefully this lil' site can handle the traffic. Here's hoping.

[Tromack]

Well, personally, I think the Revolution looks pretty damn sexy. It's definitely better looking than either the Xbox 360 or the PS3. Well, the PS3 isn't bad, but would have been better with a black color scheme.

[MaxBiaggi2]

Thanks for the link. It may be delayed but its the best thing we've got. The rest of the feeds are delayed by about an hour.

All the game-related links are content blocked at my workplace. Lame, lame, lame. . . :cry:

I like the look. Simple, pretty, sleek. It's much better than the PS3. That almost looks like it should have fins.

[gsr]

are we going to be seeing screenshots of games for the revolution or is that totally out of the picture?

[Friedle]

there is a black, white, and silver version of the system

Yeah, but the Spider-Man movie font kills it.

[Zoglog]

are you guys sure it's a slot loading system. Traditionally slot loading optical drives cant use mini-optical media like that used in gamecube.......

Also Does anyone really know what's so revolutionary about it =p?

[easy_g]

gamespot people say it hasn't started streaming for them either.

[CaseyRyback]

Yeah, but the Spider-Man movie font kills it.

I personally could care less about the font. I only care about seeing MGS4

[Ledhed]

Yeah, but the Spider-Man movie font kills it.

That's a bit of an overstatement, honestly. I think it's just way too familiar. Like if you were to see Coca-Cola style lettering on anything but a can of Coke. Everytime you'd look at it, you'd say Coke in your head. But it's hardly something that will prevent people from buying it.

[phatbunbao]

has the 8 contollers been confirmed yet?

[Grave_Addiction]

The funny thing to look at is the logo for the Revolution (which I'm surprised that they actually kept the development name for once). But does anyone else notice how the first 'O' is bigger than the section one, and that they are bold to make it so you're attracted to it more? I wonder if that has something to do with the whole revolutionary aspect of it. The first thing that it makes me thing about is that it will be able to play regular DVDs and also the GameCube DVDs. I'm hoping thats not the big selling point, of if it is, they have something up their sleves thats creative.....

I think the big O is for the Revo discs and the smaller is for the Cube discs. That's most likely anyway.

[maxflight]

according to the countdown on nintendo's site, the conference starts at 10am PST or 1pm eastern

[phatbunbao]

yea they havent strated the stream yet

[CaseyRyback]

I got a Nintendo E3 logo

[pumbaa]

Okay... heres the deal... I think the Strell's link is FROM the show floor... my link seems to be connected to the big ol' monitors Nintendo has setup. CAG's have two... neigh... three options now. Let's sit back and ENJOY THE REGGIELUTION!.

[Strell]

I just thought about the downloading games thing...

I seriously hope that isn't the "Revolutionary" aspect...the ability to play old games through emulators.

That's cool and all, but shit....You'll need more than that, Nintendo. EVen has a hardcore fan I have to admit that's not enough in the face of all-guns-blazing competition.

[Ledhed]

I got a Nintendo E3 logo

Same here. I'm using the one Strell linked. And wow, this hold music is hilariously awful.

Because of this, it loses a lot of the "value" they were striving for in the beginning, and they now have the weakest system on the market.

I hope Nintendo can come through with an inexpensive system that can hang with Sony and Microsoft in the hardware side of things.

What? The GameCube has the same 50% price advantage today as when it started. The difference could be even greater against the new Sony and Microsoft hardware but that is still completely unknown.

The price advantage of the GameCube failed to be sufficent advantage because screwed up elsewhere. If they had gotten their act together on third party support the price difference would be a bigger factor but as an also-ran to so much of the market it only seemed appropriate. I think they've largely given up on trying to win back third party support in a big way and this is why having lots of oddball controllers becomes more viable. When you aren't concerned with selling it to third parties but instead justify it solely on your own products it changes your perspective on what products to produce. I haven't heard anyone ask whether third parties would produce bongo games but that question often arises with EyeToy. The novelty of the bundled software ( all three to date) wears thin and they're soon looking for something else but all of the choices are pretty much the same thing.

The big difference seems to be that none of the EyeToy games seems adequate to justify the purchase all by themselves but Donkey Konga does. That is an important accomplishment. EyeToy isn't a loser but to hear people talk its promise is unfulfilled. I don't hear people making the same complaints about their bongos. Instead they go out and buy more bongos for multiplayer. This is one of Nintendo's strengths. Mario Party is by far the most successful party game franchise and Donkey Konga continues that theme. If that is to be the mainstay of what Nintendo pushes in the next generation high horsepower won't matter much but a low cost for the machine before you start adding extra controllers will be appreciated.

It remains to be seen if that is a winning strategy but is at least a real strategy and one that avoids direct confrontation with the other consoles, which is more than can be said for their present generation.

[zewone]

The music sure is shitty. :lol: I got the Nintendo E3 logo as well.

[pumbaa]

Now that would be interesting. Onlined enabled older games. Roping in older gamers who have lost their way with Donkey Kong Classic... ONLINE.

OK LIVE STREAMING FEED, IM SICK OF CRAPPY 70s ROCK AND ROLL

At least play some Zepplin, shit...

Finally, I got an E3 logo. When does this thing start? The suspense is killing me!

This sounds sweet:

Online downloading of Nintendo games for the Revolution. From NES to Gamecube. Pricing is still being considered. Wouldn't the system need a hard drive though?
