So... any news?

no but i smell meseta hunters afoot

[PDorr3]

we must wait until tomorrow for the press conference. I am anxious to know exactly what this thing does. I also predict it will be silver in color, just like the PS3.

Anyway back on discussion.
Since the revolution was announced to be backwards compatible with gamecube games, would that mean a similar controller to the current gamecube controller? Im guessing so...I mean for games like luigis mansion you pretty much need the same control setup.
This also means I am guessing it will not be virtual reality, as I am not sure as to how they original gamecube games would present themselves in this state.

Maybe they'll surprise us and have it E-Card reader compatible

[PDorr3]

this also makes me wonder wether or not the revolution is making the jump to wireless controllers or not, 360 and PS3 have both done the wireless idea, but My guess is a 75% chance of there being wires to support gamecube controllers, just my guess.

Maybe they have the same conroller inserts, to where you can plug in a GameCube controller in if you want to play a GamCube game.

Making a system backwards compatable doesnt limit it too much as far as innovation goes. It basically only needs no have at least as many buttons on the controller as the Gamecube. Although I am a fan of Nintendo, I hope they try to "blend in" a bit more with their competitors. Whatever "innovative feature" it has should either not be too strange, or be incredibly new and amazing. I like wireless controllers, but I dont like that to be the only option. There is no reason why it cant also have controller ports, perhaps hidden by a "flap" if appearances are a concern. Graphics arent everything, but they are to some people, so I hope Nintendo keeps up in that department.

[The Great Dane]

I sure hope that the controller isn't the one that has been floating around the net the last couple of days. The one I mean is the one that is actually two seperate controllers that you hold in each hand. This would a great idea for a couple of games, such as maybe a racing game or something similar, but it just wouldn't be very good for the majority of games I wouldn't think. Also, it would be pretty difficult to play Gamecube games with it.

The Mario was the dead giveaway!!! =)

Color of the Rev? Silver...err I mean Platinum. Because the GC looks best in Platinum and it's probably sold the best using that color.

And wireless controllers? Of course. Standard. I think Nintendo has already confirmed this. Maybe the GC WaveBirds will work effortlessly with the Rev, thus solving the controller delima when playing GC games.

Now personally would like to see a GameBoy Player built in, but I'm not that lucky.

Holy moly Batman! That looks like the size of a CD-ROM drive! Blimey! How on earth have they made it that small and still contend with the next-gen specs we've been treated to this last week?

[robotriot]

It's not really scientific, but from I've heard, Nintendo said the Revolution will be about 3-4 times faster than the GC, while the new Xbox is 13+ times faster than the old Xbox and PS3 is 35x faster than the PS2 ... so it's probably not that hightech as the other consoles. Might be a good thing though, because maybe then the price point will be significantly lower than with the competitors ... we'll see ^^
