Nintendo' s having an hour-long conference dedicated in it' s entirety to Revolution. Could it be then that we see the enigmatic controller? Or actual game footage? Or even announce a game?


They have to reveal that damn controller, I mean, I know they can be blind-sighted but they can' t torture us any longer!!!

If you don' t care, stay out the thread. Kikizo has been doing just fine without mindless flamers.

What makes a system sucessfull is not a controller.
Nintendo should focus on new inovative games, rahter than in stuff that no one cares like playing super mario bros on the revolution, i already can do that in all of my systems, including the GBA.

I just dont get it such a hype around a controller...

Dudes, i don' t think they' ll show the controller there. the reason is: Imitation. The american Sony & XBox could copy something. If there' s someting nintendo is unbeatable, it' s the innovation. I don' t think you' re informed well.

Both MS and Sony are to far a long in there console build to completely redesign there consoles controller(though Sony should really try to redesign their' s). They aren' t going to drop everything to copy Nintendo. There really isn' t much reason to copy Nintendo. MS and Sony are doing fine with their own stuff.

Rampage has a point. It' s way too late for the big 2 to copy any aspect of the Revolution' s control. But I do think a controller is very important in my system of choice. That' s why I' m not touching that PS3. Now xbox 360, that' s got a nice controller. But you know? I don' t think ' imitation' is the reason why Nintendo hasn' t revealed anything yet. It could possibly be so because Nintendo hasn' t finished the controller. Remember, it was just after E3 when Shigsy said that the engineers are still ' ' adding and removing functions on the controller' ' . They could just not be ready yet. But I hope they are by now...


So I think Nintendo will reveal something the 17th. Be it controller, or even a trailer or two, games, hands-on play, or something.

I' d like to see what the Revolution has to offer. I' m very interested in seeing if all this secrecy is worth it(I' m not betting on it though). I' ll probably be watching Sin-city though that day since it comes out on DVD the 16th.

Nah, I believe everybody will be very interested in what Revolution has to offer. I mean, C' mon, it' s called Revolution for a reason!! But, you know what? If Revolution possibly disappoints me, I' ll have nowhere to turn.

Nintendo' s not a (complete) moron. They won' t disappoint us. This system is going to rule, I believe. But I hope my optimism won' t be in vain.



Let' s say the controller is...er.. not as wonderfully amazing as expected, I' ll still buy the Revolution (and 360) because it' s so damn sexy..

C' mon, it' s called Revolution for a reason!!




Marketing. Same reason the the new Xbox is called the 360. The 3 is there so it doesn' t look inferior to the PS3. 360 in itself is a revolution or circle. Two birds with one stone. The names are just marketing. The Dreamcast didn' t cast ames straight into my dreams.

I think Revolution will just be a temporary title; just there to show what it' s all about.

But c' mon! You can' t call it Revolution if it doesn' t have anything revolutionary!! Nintendo said it' ll be revolutionary, so it will be. It' s for marketing, but also for premise.

*Humiliated* I know...

I was soooooo pissed that day; I was expecting a controller, but instead I got Gameboy Micro details....

And then with the announcement of the delay of Zelda about that time.... Oh man, was I agitated with Nintendo. But as I posted previously, I walked it off..

well some of the cool news i read is that the micro is suposed to come with the play yan adaptor to play Mp3s and mpeg 4 videos. I am hoping and i emailed nintendo if they plan to release it here in the states.

Don' t worry i think Nintendo is waiting for the buzz to slow down and then peopel don' t think anythign of it they willl release the new info and then they will seem like heroes hehe.

Knowing the backwards-compatibility abilities of this new system from Nintendo, I am very interested to see, hear, or read new information about the ' Revolution' .

This could be the system that brings the old-school and new-school generations together into one happy family.
