Let's hope their bark has a little bite this time around. (in terms of E3 speculation to showing... the GCN had a lot of bite... )

It hasn't started yet. They're just playing music. Maybe Reggie misplaced the Revolution mockup?

Revolution joins the gaming wars

By Steven Kent, Special for USA TODAY

LOS ANGELES — The players are in place for the next video game battle of the big guns.

“All-access”: Revolution is meant to beflexible for designers and players alike.
Nintendo

Nintendo reveals details Tuesday of its new system, code-named Revolution, after Sony's announcement of the PlayStation 3 console Monday and Microsoft's unveiling of Xbox 360 on an MTV special last Thursday. (Related story: PS3 purports to pack the most power)

All the action is taking place before the annual E3 Expo, which begins Wednesday. The three gaming giants will unveil the systems there.

Microsoft is expected to have the Xbox 360 in stores first, in time for the holidays. Nintendo and Sony will follow in 2006. No prices have been set, and release dates have not been locked in.

Nintendo, whose GameCube sales have lagged, hopes to gain ground, particularly among the fast-growing older-gaming market. Revolution is about the size of a stack of three DVD cases and has no visible knobs, buttons or ports for joysticks. The system will use only wireless controllers, and it sits flat or stands vertically.

With its front-loading slot for discs, it will play games on full-size DVDs as well as older GameCube games on mini-DVDs. Like Xbox and PlayStation 2, it will play DVD movies.

Nintendo, which mostly ignored the Net with GameCube, also is catching up with the online wave. Revolution will offer broadband access to a free Internet-based player matching service, similar to Xbox Live, that also will have downloadable versions of nearly every Nintendo game — from arcade classic Donkey Kong through current titles such as Mario Sunshine. (Nintendo hasn't decided whether downloading will be free.)

Xbox spokesmen have pointed out that 360's specifications are 10 to 13 times more powerful than those of the original Xbox; Sony said Monday that the processor in Play-Station 3, which will come in several colors and be out next spring, will be 35 times more powerful than the PS2 processor.

Nintendo makes more modest claims that Revolution is two or three times more powerful than GameCube. "It's not all about having 'turbo power,' " Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan says. "It's about what you do with it."

Analyst Richard Doherty of The Envisioneering Group says one of Revolution's chief advantages is that designers will find it far easier to create games for Revolution than for competing systems. "They do not need to make major changes from the games they were designing," he says. "They have better performance without having to do a lot of extra work."

Says Kaplan: "We've built Revolution around the concept of 'all-access gaming,' " a term Nintendo uses to mean the system is easily adapted to by both gamers and designers. "We're about sticking to the soul of gaming."


OH ****!!!! NOT GOOD

Depends on how you define "power."

The conference may be delayed until 12

10-13... to 35 times more. .. to 2-3 times more powerful?

Not good is the right word....

10x as powerful does not mean games will look 10x as good. I question those numbers.

Nintendo.com is counting down from 38 min

Got word from my peeps in LA

Apparently they are delaying because someone lost Reggie's ass kicking list. They are in a panic to find it.

Or he is gonna have to take even more names!!!!!!!1

My connection keeps stuttering everytime Reggie tries to say a "key word." Highly frustrating.

As a unbiased video gamer, I have to say, the Revolution wins the design award. Small and sleek is what next generation's gamers have been wanting and Nintendo served it up gourmet. The conference is amazing!

Wow guys, a professional DJ can create music with this new 'non-game' on DS!!

I heard the controller might not be shown until next week! Can anyone confirm this? OMG, I can't wait to see Reggie. He is the best and Nintendo Revolution is so awesome!

Re: Nintendo Press Conference
 
They're all pretty good this year in design. I personally like the shape of the XBox360 the most. However, the Rev's small size and "self-loading" port make it the best of 'em overall. It's shape is not interesting, but it's sharp. Only problem I have with it is that it looks like it should be in my car replacing the stereo.

Can anyone say "Pimp My Ride"?
