(did a search for Revolution, didn't see anything related)

Just a prep for you guys...That's the time IGN is citing in this article and they're heavily hinting towards some sort of reveal...

Q: Will the Revolution controller come up?

A: Yes.

Q: Will details about the controller be made known?

A: The chances are very good.

Bullshit? Maybe.

Iwata making a speech? Confirmed.

So let's guess, discuss, and keep up with the hot keynote action. :)

update:

It's there. :)

update 2, in reference to some of the questions of "when":

TONIGHT AS IN NEAR THE KEYNOTE. IT IS ALREADY MORNING WHERE I AM
 
Didn't they say more details would be coming around now? Maybe not the whole enchilada but surely something.

THURSDAYTON

I predict long life for this young thread.
 
I'll try again in this thread - where is this keynote precisely and is it invitation only (like E3) or free with show pass (like GDC) ?

I must scale my efforts right.
 
this kind of news must be posted in the sticky thread right? or is there goin to be separate Thursdayton!!!/Fridayton!! thread tomorrow or the day after?

Thursdayton was a retarded attempt at hype. I'm making a foolish judgement here and hoping that a discussion purely about a keynote without OMG MEGATON lacing the air will lead to more civil discourse.

This isn't revolution speculation per se.
 
I'm afraid they're only going to show the controller without software, despite Miyamoto's previous claims to the contrary. If no demos are shown, Nintendo will AGAIN leave everyone speculating Revolution's possible advantages to gaming (like when they revealed that the DS would have two screens). Half the forum will be left wondering if the controller's innovative features are nothing but a gimmick and the other half will keep asking everyone else to wait for E3 to see the games that will justify the design.

In short, I'm inclined to believe we'll be asked again to wait to see the whole package.

You're expecting to see the controller? You're still more optimistic than I am.
 
Code: 
<?php

    $folder = '.';

    $extList = array();
    $extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';
    $extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpg';
    $extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';
    $extList['png'] = 'image/png';

$img = null;

if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {
    $folder = $folder.'/';
}

if (isset($_GET['img'])) {
    $imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']);
    if (
        isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) &&
        file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )
) {
    $img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];
}
} else {
    $fileList = array();
    $handle = opendir($folder);
    while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {
        $file_info = pathinfo($file);
        if (
            isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )
) {
            $fileList[] = $file;
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);

    if (count($fileList) > 0) {
        $imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);
        $img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];
    }
}
if ($img!=null) {
    $imageInfo = pathinfo($img);
    $contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension'] ];
    header ($contentType);
    readfile($img);
} else {
    if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {
        header ("Content-type: image/png");
        $im = @imagecreate (100, 100)
            or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");
        $background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
        $text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
        imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);
        imagepng ($im);
        imagedestroy($im);
    }
}
?>

There must be some ironic evil influence at work...

This Thursdayton, which will likely actually be a Thursdayton, will occur precisely while I'm teaching a class and unable to respond.

___dayton and DavidDayton are never in the same room at the same time.

Do your students know you're such a huge Nintendo fan? You should print up pictures of the Revolution controller after it's revealed and post them on all the bulletin boards.
 
I was wondering what time it would be EST. Now my question is answered thanks to the power of the Revolution.

Can I make a bet?

Revolution will be shown with 2 controller pads.

The first controller pad will be like a type of WaveBird and it won´t have nothing revolutionary.

The second controller will be the revolutionary controller.

The two controllers will be packed with the console.

And this is not speculation or rumor.

I think he means tomorrow night... I mean why would they reveal anything before Iwata's speech? It'd ruin everything.

Dammit I know I'm expecting it tonight now and will stay up. argh.
 
Can any of you read the thread title? :p

Although tomorrow night may be correct, I dunno, I've always been bad on relative time and my source can't reconfirm as he's not here. Let's just say you'll know very near the keynote.
