Full account of Nintendo's showings at E3

[stuffedmonkey]

Best writeup so far on Nintendo's E3 revealings is at IGN.com. Some choice tidbits:

Game Boy Micro! I hadn't even heard of any rumors of this.

Revolution info... Very small size. Fully wireless. Internet ready.

Best quote:

"You will be able to Download NES, Super NES and N64 games. You can get every Nintendo game ever made."

I have to get one - now!


And of course - Reggie!

All I can say is: now, that's a way to celebrate the NES's North American 20th anniversary! Too bad it won't come out in time for it, but it's still a nice thought. :)

And as someone who skipped over the N64, the download service sounds like a great idea. I wanna play Paper Mario!

Reading the IGN recap, at first when I read about Iwata and "who's your daddy", I couldn't help but think of the infamous Daikatana/John Romero ad campaign... imagine: Iwata and Nintendo will make you their bitch! :P

Why not post this in the (apparently) "official" Nintendo Revolution thread (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61087)?




Oh and we've been able to download every NES, SNES and N64 game for years now. Heh heh heh.

Miyamoto's dog got lucky, then Miyamoto went back stage and got it on! LOL

Seriously though, I like the idea of the Game Boy Micro, kind of like an iPod, but for games. It will sell like CRAZY if they market it like the iPod (and games cost around a dollar).

I'm glad THIS is the new gameboy, I really thought they were gonna do away with the DS. I (and my wife) thought they were gonna use a "new gameboy" as an excuse to abandon the DS. It seems (with this new format) as if they really plan to keep both around!

I am betting the games will be anywhere from 5-10. $1 isn't feasable....I could be wrong though....

"You will be able to Download NES, Super NES and N64 games. You can get every Nintendo game ever made."


Of course this means "every Nintendo game ever made BY Nintendo"

This is awesome stuff guys. Please add it to the E3: NINTENDO thread stickied at the top of this forum. That way, Nintendo's entire revolution will be televised.
