"No Revolution at E3!"

In playable form at least, [URL]http://www.gc.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=4533&pg=1&comments=full#comments[/URL]

'AMN News Team Leader Ray Almeda had the recent oppurtunity to ask Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, for a straight answer whether or not the Revolution would be playable or consumer-demoed at E3:

"We'll have more details there. But as for playing it at E3, not a chance. It's still way too early."'

I hope he's just saying that so we get a nice surprise come May, but he probably isn't.

Thanks for the mental image there of Reggie pulling pisser and taking names.

It will be playable

They're just pulling everyones pisser

I don't think any of them will be playable - have the proper console's controller there, and a almost-finished game to play with it. Seems far too early for that.

But they must - they must - show the actual design of it.

Revolution has Wi-Fi built in.

DS has Wi-Fi built in.

GBA2? Most probably has Wi-Fi built in... connectivity out of the box for (probably) all three. Add this to the fact that Nintendo will allow you to connect to the 'net for FREE, I think the whole Home/Handheld linkup will be a hell of alot better this time round.

And roll on E3.

I knew it wouldn't be playable.

If PS3 and Xbox2 are playable, it will just leave Nintendo out in the cold again, as the press reports on those two consoles being ready and the Revolution being "Nintendo's mystery machine" or whatever. If it's so revolutionary I think that Nintendo really need to give people a chance to test it out for themselves. But there is a lot of time left before release, so I guess they can make up for it.

I'd rather they had a really solid playable console than a couple of concept units that people think are rubbish.

It could always end up being some amazing, wireless online thingy that everyone loves.

It is a bit worrying when Nintendo talk about innovation, because all I can think of is GBA connectivety. Which was good, but completely stupid.

I have a feeling that mario 128's gonna be some stupid game that shows off Gamecube and Revolution linking up with each other.

Nintendo seem to laugh everytime someone asks them about whether Matrio 128's gonna be on Cube or Revolution and then they talk about backwards compatability.

Mario 128 shall be winnar.

And if it isn't, Nintendo can die.
