Well would you look at this. The fellow Nintendo monkeys running around crying because they wanted to see Revolution.
You were told before the show it wasn't going to be there. Why the surprise.
It's the PS3 and X-box 360 show. In fact it is pretty much just the PS3 show. Hence the reason Microsoft did that silly MTV party thing.
What can overshadow the biggest console announcement ever?
No... Nintendo cannot do that.
X-box's gimmick is customisable games, complete with snap on facias. Sony, ultra-realism.
Great ideas but they come at a price. And that price is ours. EA have already stated game prices could rise to as much as £60. And that publishers will have a hard time this generation.
Nintendo's suggestion is different. For starters they haven't cranked up the graphics to a pointless notion that most games developers (sorry all) won't be bothered to meet. But most importantly, Online is free.
The console, games, and online service will be as cheap as a cheap thing that is very cheap. And that's cheap.
Nintendo plan for a 2006 launch alongside Sony. Nintendo are working very hard to reach that. But they don't have anything to show us yet. They don't have time to order their minions to mock up videos and demos. They haven't even finalised the sodding controller yet.
Yet Nintendo fans. Us. Are once again throwing a fit because there wasn't anything concrete on show.
It just isn't the time. It really isn't. Maybe a September Spaceworld will do. But trust me, it makes sense, why show a console that will be overshadowed and ignored because Sony have announced theres.
Nintendo are talking about online plans. They've showed the greatest Zelda demo ever. A handfull of new Gamecube and DS games. And even a new, if slightly pointless, Gameboy... to further attack the PSP.
But still not happy.
The reason why the conference didn't have the impact of last years is because there isn't actually anything to show. I'm not surprised. I'm not happy but nor am I dissapointed. Nintendo's spotlight is still to come.
And I await with baited breath.

Yep, it was all one big elaborate satire.

It so is.
Allard's shame, passed to Ninty through their own stupidity.

Maybe the 3 consoles will all be connected, so the Revolution will actually just be 2 PS3 controllers end to end, attachd to Allard's ear.
I bet they couldn't make a special picture of that
Where does the internet fit in?

I'm so glad I didn't watch that live.
GBA Micro OMG!!!

I watched it last night and it wasn't terrible.. but I've also seen some of the MS and Sony conferences which announced more and were probably more intriguing to watch.
Exactly. Both had demo reels of entirely new stuff to show; hardware and software. Nintendo on the most part showed games already seen before, some even two - three years old (Killer 7).
GBA Micro was a rehash of old stuff... the online service was expected and done before; and what do you get if you show the Revolution without an in game showcase? A shiny, small box. Hell, even Reggie didn't make some memorable quote this year. There was a good moment of awkwardness when Shigeru and that woman were doing stuff with Nintendogs.

Why should I care about that, the agreement in my family is I'll get the Revolution and my brothers will get the PS3/X-box 360. I don't want to know about the consoles they're getting, I want to know about what I'm getting.

Oh yes, it looks absolutely wonderful.
One good game and online plans which will suck for me because I don't like playing online (much).
Hoofookingrah.

Definitely drawn the short straw there.
