"Few Revolution Details ..."

From Iwata's keynote speech at that games conference thingy that's been going on. He talks about Revolution.

He say:- Console powered by a CPU from IBM, codenamed 'Broadway' + the GPU is from ATI, codenamed 'Hollywood.' Rubbish names, but still - woo!

He say:- Revolution will have built in Wi-Fi. omg!1 Yes, not just normal internet shiz, proper spiffy wi-fi and everything.

He say:- Dev kits sent out to er ... devers ... by E3. As in before. Yey also, pwn that 3rd party suport mmmkay Ninty?

And so, it starts.

I owned a PS2 for 6 months. Then I sold it for a £30 profit and bought an XBOX.

Good decision.

I'm actually getting angry. How very sad.
But ... come on ... *weeples*

It's so unfair.

After owning a PS2 for about 4 years, I have to say they suck ass.
Nintendo deserve the market - but they take stupid risks, which don't actually take off.

Should sell modestly well. Nothing sensationaly, but if the GC's price is stuill uber messed up as it is now (and why shouldn't it be?), I ca see a massive increase in the sales of GC's for those few weeks after release.

Then it'll be back to PS2 dominance.

Damn Sony.

Well ... they better do it.
It is, I'd say, the most important game release since OoT. Possibly ever.

And kind of GC's "well ... if this doesn't work, you can go screw yourselves" curtain call. *tear*

Mario Kart, I believe - I think US got it the 9th, we got it the 11th.

God knows why I remember these. Probably just guesses.

Hmm ... see, I couldn't remember any importers bragging about it before us poor PAL plebs. Ah well.

Has any game been released world-wide at the same time before?
Please say yes ... or at least make this the first. Zelda deserves it.

Nah, Japan got it for Christmas 2002, US for March 2003 and we got it on the anniversary of teh UK release on 3rd May 2003.

Im not going to watch the trailers. Many a game has been ruined because of my urge to watch videos and read reviews.

I loved WW though, excellent game.

I'd hate to have to buy a new GC, after no-Link-and-easy-access-to-hammers Christmas time.

Woo! Zelda!

See? I can't help it.
The world better recognise the 1337, and buy a thousand copies per every half person.

Did WW get a world-wide launch?
I think so ... can't remember, though.
