And check out this link for everything that happened minute by minute: http://cube.ign.com/articles/615/615...ml?reload=true

Gameboy Micro? The LoZ trailer on the DS? Oh, Reggie, my brain is running wild.

Squeek first post edit: If you plan on insulting the new name without justifying your reasons, prepare for a week-long ban personally handed to you by myself. Tired of the crap involving the name. Let it go. The system is still just as awesome as it was under its prototype name. Nothing else has changed.

magister_negi_magi · 05-17-2005, 12:04 PM

The design is horrible, but...I can't believe it's that small!!!

Tps222 · 05-17-2005, 12:18 PM

9:35 am: Harrison introduces new Mario titles: Super Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix (big cheers), and Mario Party 7. Montage shows Fire Emblem, Geist, Killer 7, Pokemon XD, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Donkey Konga 2, Incredible Hulk 2, Madagascar, Madden NFL 06, One Piece, Scooby Doo, Spartan, Mario Mix, Mario Party 7, Strikers , Mario Party, WWE Day of Reckoning 2, Harvest Moon, Nintendo Pennant Chase Baseball, Shadow the Hedgehog, Midway Arcade, Medal of Honor

Awesome.

magister_negi_magi · 05-17-2005, 12:26 PM

Aw snap. The only problem with the Revolution now is the release date, and I still have questions about it's overall power...

falconsfan14 · 05-17-2005, 12:47 PM

Its ok, but tps, you said mario party 3 times, and is spartan nintendos suposed "Halo killer"? Just like ps2's "halo killer", that made me lol.

soccr743 · 05-17-2005, 01:04 PM

I would have to say that the revolution is the best looking console coming out. Very very nice looking and the size is great.

The list of games looks great too and with the addition of online multiplayer will make them even much better.

falconsfan14 · 05-17-2005, 01:08 PM

I would have to disagree, nintendo doesnt have the experience with online play so it might not be that great the FIRST time around, but they will get better, also id have to say the xbox 360 looks better, its sleeker.

Agree'd. However, PS3's design is growing on me...Nintendo still takes the cake. It is nice.

**lightdarkness** · 05-17-2005, 02:35 PM

I think the design is TOO simple. It looks like an external CD burner.

And that is one of the reasons I like it. And I am also quite bias since I like black and blue combined...

It makes it easy to put it somewhere where you do not have much space at all to store a larger console (Xbox comes to mind).

I'm not seeing what's so revolutionary....

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ALL PREVIOUS GAMES, FROM ALL GENERATIONS, NES, SNES, N64, GAMECUBE, OMG OMG OMG

evilbutterfly · 05-17-2005, 05:34 PM

Um....you can already do that (minus the GC part) with any computer and an internet connection. And you don't have to pay anything for them.

Aren't the controllers supposed to be super special? I didn't see anything really special at all about it. I was a bit disappointed...

I don't know if you meant improvement for the GC, or if you think that Zelda will be on the Revolution. The new Zelda will be on the GC, so it looks pretty damn good considering.

And evil, are you saying you saw the controllers? Where?

Oh, and, Zombies Ate My Neighbors!! YES!

falconsfan14 · 05-17-2005, 06:29 PM

I dont really know yet, until i see what every console can really do im not going to put anything down on any of them. Like LD said, it looks like an external CD burner, but jewpin is also right on how it would fit somewhere better verses the xbox. But im loyal to xbox, i dont care how bid it is because i have my xbox on the top of my entertainment center in my room, (if you would like to see what im talking about i will post a pic)right above my SURROUND SOUND

, so i dont have to worry about space. Ive never really like playstation, only for final fantasy, but im not going to get a console for just one game. right now im leaning torwards the xbox360 but my secong choice would be nintendo's what ever its called.

evilbutterfly · 05-17-2005, 07:58 PM

No, I was saying I didn't see anything about the controllers. Reading what I wrote, I can see how it seems I said otherwise, but no. I am anxious to see what's so damn special, though.

suicidalmuskrat · 05-17-2005, 08:29 PM

Yeah, the controllers will probably be shown at Spaceworld. And Shox, Zelda is for Gamecube, not revolution. And falcoln, why can't Nintendo get it right first try? Microsoft did. And Nintendo is giving it to you for FREE. So even if it sucks, it's nothin out of your pocket. It's wi-fi enable out of the box. So get a wireless connection in your house, plug in the revolution, be online for free, with Super Smash Brothers, in mere seconds, probably for 2/3 the price of x-box 360.

Oh, and evidently console name is remaining Nintendo Revolution. Much to the delight of me.

banditcom · 05-18-2005, 09:02 PM

Yea, so far it's still the Revolution. And the design is still a "prototype".

And will someone get rid of EB's fucking lame signature gif? It's a pain to scroll through a forum with that shit flashing. If I have to get rid of AVs because people complain, then that signature has got to go.

Also, the reason I don't play ROMs is not just because they're illegal and I want to support Nintendo, it's because it's not on a console. It doesn't feel right playing it at the computer.

Anyways, Microsoft is having a free online option; their Silver plan.

But... Nintendo has only revealed a little bit. Then again, EB is narrow-minded and picks and chooses what he wants to believe. Nintendo still has stuff up their sleeve.

**87x** · 05-19-2005, 06:44 AM

microsofts free subscription plan isn't for multiplayer gaming though, its just for social interaction with friends or what-not across xbox live. With Nintendo you get free multiplayer action along with MANY other things, which is so bad ass..

geminidude · 05-19-2005, 10:46 AM

unfortunetly i dont think that the revoulution will be on top. calm down calm down. I think that the REVOLUTION will be #2. The Online play is needed. i luv the fact that its backwards compatible with every NINTENDO system
