The article speculates it will be release date and pricing info, imagine if they announced all that without showing games? Their E3 conference would then have even MORE hype. I'm personally hoping they hold out everything until E3, then blow their entire load in my face, but E3 is a long way away and I need something to feed me...
There's also the possibility that the Rev will come out so shortly after E3 that they need to get retailers prepared.

Looks like a metallic lobster claw around a nun. Honestly, WTF?
This isn't really news. We all knew they would give us a tidbit, a little sampling if you will, before E3.

Didn't I read somewhere that they would show off products at GDC? Or was that something else? It probably won't be the Revolution, though, the big guns are for E3.

Then for reasons I don't care to elaborate on, I certainly hope that I-No is a woman.

A release date and price would be nice but it's pretty weird for them to reveal that kind of info before we see any games. The more Nintendo reveals without showing any games the harder it is to shake the feeling that they're hiding something. Why are they trying to build hype with everything but the actually product itself? The games are everything.

Anyways, I suspect Ian is right - probably not too much new info, lots of patting on back. But we will get SOMETHING. I mean, it would be way too stupid, even for Nintendo, not to take advantage of GDC. If I were them, I'd come out of the blue and show something big, a couple of months before E3 - show us that they've leading us on the whole time. Of course, there's no way that's gonna happen, but as I said - we will get SOMETHING. What that something is I don't know what, but I'm pretty sure we'll get it.

It would still allow E3 to be all that it can be without spilling the beans ahead of time and it would give everyone more reason to look forward to E3.
Right now, I'm curious but not exactly expecting much. If I had some idea of what to expect (and it looked good), I'd probably be more inclined to work myself into a techno-lust frenzy like I've done in the past (GBA SP and DS both caused it, Rev has yet to do so).

The last secret has to do with the visuals, pretty much 100% guaranteed...So, uh, not happening...

I dunno, I think 30 seconds of footage of some "part" of a game could stir things up without dropping any REAL bombs...

Isn't it some really popular mag in Euroland?

Do you mean the visuals will reveal the unique gameplay or that the console itself has some unique graphic style or capabilities?

Did he just say "blow thier entire load in his face?" I will say wow.

Bill's just making that up. We have no idea what the last big secret is, if there even is one.
