Also, did anyone notice that square was present in both MS's and Sony's conferences? I sincerely hope they are present at Nintendo's too. I have no problem with them releasing games for other consoles as long as they don't leave nintendo out, especially after publicly saying how much they like the online plan.

Power has always been an issue, its what lead to the PS2 hype train... the whole "Emotion engine" and they did the same thing yesterday

BlackFootstep: It has not been confirmed. It has just been rumored that since the DS online plan is free that the revolution's plan will be.

Let me just say. I am not thinking that online will be free. What I am saying is that Online will be supported and payed for by downloading older Nintendo games. Which means probably paying alittle more than you should for the games so that you are supporting the network.

Nintendo doesn't have to go for a harddrive solution. Really the better solution would be to go for Memory cards about 1.5 gigs in size. This way you can actually I dunno...take your games with you. And it has to be about that size so you can download Gamecube games.

I however won't be downloading any 1.5 gig games and waiting forever to play it. That is scary.

Please explain why the PSX dominated the N64 then??

mantidor · « **Reply #104 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:31:12 AM »

not really, power has always been an issue, even in the Nintendo vs Sega times. I do agree that with ms in the game its more talked about it now.

Square recently announced that they would be releasing FFXI for the xbox 360 and that it would be live and mic enabled. . . . .Its kind of making sense now, they like nintendos online plan. . . . hmm could they be thinking of adding FFXI to the revolution. . . .Makes sense to me, the series is on pc ps2 and now xbox 360 why not spread it more!

It's a PowerBook. I bet you it can run OS10.4. Really!! Add a 12 in screen and a keyboard and BAM!!!!
Power is never the main issue in any generation of console. The most powerful system has never won its markert out right. Qui-Gon said it best "there's always a bigger fish".

I doubt that it has a hard drive; it just doesn't fit in with Nintendo's design philosophy.

My guess is that the games are streamed to your console over that internet thingy.

Then how the hell the ps2 sold much more than xbox and GC combined!!??

Because it was the first on the market, and Sony's hyped up the console's power to death. In fact, I can still see Sony fanboys crying that the PS2 outperforms the NGC all over the interweb. But I guess you have a point there. Still, I can't see consumers buying Nintendo's console if it's the weakest, especially if it's the last on the market. Can you?

nintendo should just lie and say they are twice as powerful as the ps3 and xbox360 put together.

as for storing data...maybe nintendo will finally make good on those sd cards....those are getting fairly big now

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #110 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:50:53 AM »

but what about gamecube combatibility? People will want to use their saves they have on their gamecube memory cards, unless there is an easy transfer feature.

First, the system looks awesome. A little bland, maybe....but the blue light completley sells it. My biggest concern is actually the tiny buttons. GameCube's gigantic power/reset/open buttons made the system a lot easier to use.

Second, don't put too much weight into the 2-3x powerful statement. It means next to nothing. I think usa today or whomever it was put perrin's (paraphrasing) 'it's not the power, it's what you do with it' statement there just for dramatic effect. Even so, note that that is a lot better than saying 'it's not the power, it's the games, stupid'.

What I'm hoping is that Nintendo has learned the art of knowing when to downplay things, and when to, you know, surprise everyone by announcing the system is actually more powerful than the xbox 360. Then everyone will be like 'OMG! AMAZING! More powerful than the XBOX 360!' instead of 'meh. Not as powerful as the ps3, eh?'. I just hopee Nintendo isn't giving the mainstream media the chance to say 'on the one hand, nintendo has offered the most innovative console, on the other hand, it is the least powerful.' There should be no other hand. Revolution is comming out later than 360, it needs to match the specs.

15 minutes to go! Or...is that an hour and 15?

People are being way to paranoid about Nintendo's 2-3 times more powerful comment. They did the same thing with the Gamecube. Downplayed its power while Sony and MS overhyped the power of their previous consoles. In the end, the Gamecube ended up having some of the best looking games. If not for its power then for its efficiency and superior developers.
If Nintendo wanted to it could probably claim the Revolution is fifty times more powerful than the Gamecube and it probably will be on some single technical aspect. But three times more powerful overall sounds great especially with XBox 360 game footage looking about on par with Zelda for the Gamecube IMO.

Under 10 now

Ah less than an hour to go.

Nintendo seems very confident this time around. Their design looks fantastic in its simplicity and the downloadable content sounds great... I can't wait to see what else they have to announce oh and the controllers I am sure are going to be freakin great as opposed to the odd looking PS3 controller. I'm sure they will have an awesome showing of games too ahhh can't wait!!

Artimus · « **Reply #115 on:** May 17, 2005, 07:04:55 AM »

It's starting right now, I have no clue why their counter is off.

Kakashixs · « **Reply #116 on:** May 17, 2005, 07:05:35 AM »

Oh wow for real? Thanks for the info!

Where is the best place to get E3 Nintendo info? As it happens?

Kakashixs · « **Reply #118 on:** May 17, 2005, 07:10:16 AM »

Gamespot Complete has like live coverage but thats a payfor service.

I'd be willing to say for free sites Nintendojo.com it had the Revolution pictures at like 6 am which seemed like a while before any other site.

Aside from that IGN.com I guess . . . I really wish I had Gamespot Complete right now just for this hour lol.

Though, they do let you watch the conference after it's said and done with: http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3live.html .
