Ease of development is what Nintendo claims separates their next-generation hardware from the competition. "They do not need to make major changes from the games they were designing," said analyst Richard Doherty of The Envisioneering Group. "They have better performance without having to do a lot of extra work."

I will laugh if the Zelda screens we've seen look so good because when you run Gamecube games on the Revolution it somehow automatically makes them higher res, and the shots were taken from the game running on the Revolution.

Not being serious really. That quote just sounds dodgy.

That 2-3X power quote is being quoted left and right.

Dumb, Perrin, Dumb.

- sega project (exclu)
- capcom project (exlu)
- hideo kojima project (exclu)

Mama Smurf · May 17, 2005

It's just so small...I'm actually beginning to believe it WILL be that much less powerful than the other systems. I hope not, though if it's "nice enough" and whatever's innovative about the system really impresses me, I guess it'd be ok.

Pedigree Chum · May 17, 2005

Best looking console ever made. Bar none.

Good job Nintendo. Now don't fuck up with the specs.

I don't like the sound of that quote. There's a difference between being easy to develop for because of the nature of the hardware and the easy to use tools and being easy to develop for because the hardware is only a notch above previous gen and devs can recycle old engines.

ThongyDonk · May 17, 2005

Big O little o to me suggests it playing 8cm and 12cm discs????

Super hi-res stuff.

It's shiny!

Wow it looks like a freakin' router.
And please tell me we can put it on its side.

I think (hope) it just means because it has the same tool library or whatever it was announced a bit back.

I am getting VERY concerned. PS3 is a tank and this thing... oh no.

It sure does. It just seems like they are not really answering your questions and you have to wait 2 more hours to find out. I mean I really hope it's not gimmicky or stupid. I sure dont like that dl comment too much, if it turns out to just be a system where you can dl anything from NES to Gamecube and that's all it does.....

That's not a revolution...

Mr Gump · May 17, 2005

looks like my cable modem, with less curves.

norinrad21 · May 17, 2005

Its more powerful than the X360.

You guys will see in a few hours when the specs are out

I sure hope this is true. I am fearful.

Pochacco · May 17, 2005

It needs a handle ala the GC.
Then it woud look like a mini briefcase.

Same here, I try to act like I don't care about Nintendo anymore...but I do, and I do want to see them do well. I hope the specs are killer and every bit as good as the X360.

If this is true, it'll be the next big "WTF?!" this week. I predict there might be some folks going batshit insane..

It wont be, and that is why Nintendo are prepping you with their statements so far.

To soften the blow.

God's Hand · May 17, 2005

I'd stop worrying about specs. You're all in for a surprise. The games are going to look phenomenal.

IGN Images Are HUGE!

I will forever call it NEW SEXY

ghostface · May 17, 2005

Please don't.

Suerte · May 17, 2005

So... where's the revolution aka the controller?

olimario · May 17, 2005

It looks nice.
It'll look great in my setup.
I would love to see lots of colors at release.

MacGuffin · May 17, 2005

Damn.

whzup444 · May 17, 2005

Just wanted to comment that Revolution looks to have some presence on the actual showfloor.

http://cube.ign.com/articles/614/614905p1.html

Note the pic with "Club Revolution". Sorry if this has already been posted.

Smiles and Cries · May 17, 2005

can you imagine this in Shiny Mario RED?

hmmmm

IGN / Gamespy

seems like the sites are trying to merge even closer

neo2046 · May 17, 2005

If it's that sexy and it's going to be faster than the Xbox 360... I'll just... I'll just blow a huge load right on my monitor. I swear to fucking God.

Edit: I just cut those huge pics down to size. Wallpaper format for everyone!

rahxephon03x · May 17, 2005

I wonder what different colors we will have?

Probably standard black but with different disk tray color

borghe · May 17, 2005

they MUST release multiple colors as revolution. MUST. Pimp the black, but give other options.. platinum and white are musts.

Yeah if it out does the 360 in terms of Power O_o

Glossy Pink revolution with white base-dock.

OMG that face is the revolution!!!

Lionheart · May 17, 2005

Looks really good, a lot better than I thought when looking at the first small pic.

shibbs · May 17, 2005

Well, atleast Nintendo got the best looking console next gen. It looks HOT!

suaveric · May 17, 2005

It certainly doesn't look like a child's toy, that's for sure. But I think that they may have gone a bit too far. It could have some curves or something. It's just a bit too plain for me now.

+Aliken+ · May 17, 2005

What about memory cards???? or Harddisk...

flsh · May 17, 2005

Holy shit this is sexy! I don't think white will fit, but platinum will

I really hope it launches with different colors, with mario red as one of them. Think of the theme editions! a mario edition with a shining red case and white light coming from the disc tray *fap*
If they release such a theme I will buy a 2nd RevOlution system

AndoCalrissian · May 17, 2005

Oh, oh wow.

Drinky Crow · May 17, 2005

Lookin' VERY good. How the hell did Nintendo's product designers fall down so badly with the DS?

i think the part next to the CD/DVD Drive that sticks out slightly isd the HDD

Tim · May 17, 2005

HAWT

Pellham · May 17, 2005

I wish we could see the back of that thing. Then we can tell if it uses standard media cards like the PS3. Would be cool to see SD and Compactflash support, as well as a usb port or two. I'd love for this thing to have an internal or detachable HDD as well.

After listening to you Drinky they fired them and hired Ken's Brother?
