Thanks for the most dull conference ever, Nintendo.

At least make some effort - the technology is there, you can still use a lot of it with relatively small cost increase. Idiots.

So can we see it then?

Don't answer that, you bunch of twunts.

"is Revolution as powerful as Xbox 360?

Shigeru Miyamoto: You know, in regard to the power of the Nintendo Revolution versus, say, the Xbox 360, we're looking at making a small, quiet, affordable console. If you look at trying to incorporate all that, of course we might not have the horsepower that some other companies have,"

This is just disappointment after disappointment. He also says the controller is finalised.

AhAHAhahAHhaahHAhHAhAHhAHAHhAharrrohmercy.

Stay there, Ninty, I'll get the shotgun.

My heart has sunken to new depths:

"In regards to Mario 128, we're currently doing a lot of Mario experiments back in Kyoto. We are definitely going to have a new Mario for Revolution. Whether or not that's 128 or not, I can't really say. It might be a new Sunshine. We're not sure. We're doing a lot of Mario tests right now for the Revolution."

"It might be a new sunshine"

"So rather than rush out in a panic and try to get a bunch of information out to people, we want to give out some of the general concepts and we're going to save everything else for when we're all set. Next year, when it's the year of the Revolution, we'll bring out everything from under the wrapping paper"

No! You've become one of them gerrid :(

Nintendo just haven't got anything else they want to show of Revolution yet. >_<

Even if there were a closed-door thing, we'd hear about it, like we heard about the press-only extended Zelda trailer shown last year even if we didn't see it ourselves.

It'll be a big circular wire that you can connect to your TV, controller, console and internet. Revolutionary!

Oh, and viewtiful Joe DS is apparently amazing, which is great!

I'm guessing the new controller is a brain implant, allowing direct control over games and microwaves. If so, the conference could take several days / weeks / months to complete ... hence the delays.

Yeah.
