It's official; this is what it looks like:

Now if only there were screenshots of the games, or the controller, or we had some idea of what it did...

thats tiny

Didn't everyone learn from the PS2 that vertical standing systems are not a good idea?

Teriffic, smaller the better, Im running out of room with all the shit I have in my room.

looks like my comcast (motorolla) cable modem.

Kind of lame looking ... doesn't grab any attention at all, and I'm not someone who is into flashy stuff. It's even too drab looking for me.

i think it looks pretty slick

Exactly what I thought when I look at it. It might have caught my attention 5 years ago, but definiately not in todays age.

It's barely noticable, it has no more personality than an external CDrom. The games them selves will seriously have to kick all sorts of ass for anyone to take notice of it. This scares me.

Nintendo is banking on Design, but if there's anything the last generation has taught us it's then developers are lazy and the only people who might use the system to it's full extent are Nintendo themselves... just like the 'Cube.

Exactly, looks like my cable modem too.

Actually, Nintendo's pre-E3 press conference suggested that this was simply a prototype. The finished system will be even smaller, and they haven't even decided what color(s) it will be. I wouldn't start judging it in any console beauty contests just yet since we don't really know what the end product will look like.

Agreed, this can't be more than an artist concept. They'd have better pictures if that was the case.

me too, but i guess you can't please everybody

to the people who dislike it, would you rather it be shaped like a dolphin?

They said during the conference that this was a prototype and that the final model will be even smaller.

It's not so much that it looks ugly as it just dosent have any personality, it's just a small black/grey box with some lights on it. It's as if they've just foregone all external design ideas and just focused on what's inside but that's not going to catch the eye of an average consumer. I dont mind if the real thing is smaller but for goodness sake make it interesting to look at.

It's like the really plain girl at a party, she might be super freaky underneath but no one will know because they dont ask her to dance.

What exactly is slick about it? I am not trying to start a flame war, but it's pretty plain. The fact that it looks like it is tiny as hell is damn slick, I'll give you that. But as far as appearences go, it's pretty basic. I'm not necessarily saying that is bad and I will almost certainly be buying one. I could care less what it looks like so long as the design doesnt create problems which I can't imagine would be the case.

I agree. For some reason, it doesn't look.. Nintendo. Don't ask me why, it just doesn't.

Also, the CD drive looks like the drives that come with those Macs that are one big rectangular unit, with the monitor set in it. The disks don't even use a tray, but function rather like a car stereo, in that you just stick the disc in, and press eject to retrive it. In any case, I've heard that the CD's get stuck in the vertical Mac drives, due to the lack of a tray to move the disk out of the system.

Actually, that last part was totally irrelevent. GFY.

I hope the final one isn't all glossy like that, I'd hate to accidentally scratch it (and have to look at it if I did).

Its okay, I'm more interested in what it can do more than what it looks like since its supposed to be all "revolutionary"
