E3: Nintendo and the Revolution
OK Kids. Nintendo's conference just ended, and here's what I got.
THE REVOLUTION:
- No details on the revolutionary aspect of the controller, it wasn't shown. Confirmed wireless.
- The case design was there, pics below.
- Can play regular DVDs with a small attachment.
- Can play GameCube discs.
- Wi-fi out of the box.
- Known games in development: New Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Smash Brothers Online (Smash is a LAUNCH TITLE)
- The Revolution will be able to download ALL PREVIOUS GAMES FOR ALL PREVIOUS NINTENDO SYSTEMS. We're talking NES, SNES, N64, and possibly even the Cube.
Pictures of the Revolution (Note, this is a prototype, other colors were shown at the conference):
Surprisingly, Nintendo also rolled out a redesign for the Game Boy Advance. They're calling it the Micro.
GAME BOY MICRO:
- 2/3 the weight of an iPod mini
- Really damn tiny; don't have exacts, but it looked like it could fit in the palm of my hand.
- Can play all GBA games
- Brightly lit screen.

Immediate thoughts:
-The conference was a bit of a downer, but that's to be expected, considering how much last year's rocked.
- Revolution looks SO damn sexy.
- I can play old Nintendo games without having to track them down? Nintendo for the win.
- There's some damn good looking things on the upcoming titles list. Especially that new Metroid.
- Where's Mario 128? And info on the Revolution controller?
- Zelda fucking OWNS MY SOUL.
