BigJKO Posted March 23, 2006 If you're following Iwata's keynote at the GDC, then join in on the thread. Supposedly we'll get the final name of the console. Not big, but at least we get to say it's stupid. And that's always fun. Hopefully we get some new game info. At least a demonstration of how awesome the Revolution is.. At any rate, there are pictures. Glorious pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayel Posted March 23, 2006 Holy shit, that's some nice miniature model of Revolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted March 23, 2006 Funnily enough, that's still the old model we saw at the last GDC. According to Nintendo the final console will be even smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted March 23, 2006 Any new names announced yet? Can't really keep check on the whole GDC from my work without getting an angry manager at my desk :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted March 23, 2006 Not for another 5-6 hours I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netmonkey Posted March 23, 2006 But hey, awesome news! Psychonauts wins for best writing. Hurrah! That is no news. Maybe they'll call it... the minintedo experience system! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oath Posted March 23, 2006 Nice pictues, but the Nintendo presentative IGN got to pose with the console really looks very uncomfortable. Slightly less here, but even more here. You almost feel bad for her, but then you remember she gets paid for that. I mostly felt bad for IGN, as they felt the need to include that last picture (you can barely see the console), which is obviously just there to "show her off". Lame as fuck.

Lame as fuck. Well, on the bright side it shows how fucking small the Revolution is. Is anyone else hoping they just call it the Nintendo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted March 23, 2006 I think Revolution is the best name they could've come up with. I also think that Dolphin is cooler than Gamecube and Ultra 64 is better than Nintendo 64 (it sounds like some sort of lame shaving utensil and that makes it in my book).

brkl Posted March 23, 2006 Yeah, corny names are the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oath Posted March 23, 2006 Ok, shit has officially happened at GDC. For the Revolution: Selection from the "best of" Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx titles to be downloadable. For the DS: Zelda DS, cel-shaded, by the Wind Waker team, heavy use of touch screen. 2D perspective, 3D content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oath Posted March 23, 2006 Ok, so apparently, this is what the new Zelda looks like (yeah, not very good pictures): Looks a lot like Four Swords to me, but that's still great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astrogoth Posted March 23, 2006 The really scary thing is, that lady who looks really uncomfortable in the Revolution pictures is the spitting image of my mother... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks a lot better than those pictures (same photographer as the guy that photographed Big Foot, I'm guessing). I like the mix of classic 2D with The Wind Waker style. And the Dark World theme.

Kolzig Posted March 23, 2006 MegaDrive on Revolution...!! :tup: And Zelda DS made by the Wind Waker team and uses cel shading. Hell yes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted March 23, 2006 Oh, I love how you can draw notes on the dungeon map. Zelda on the DS. Sega Mega Drive on the Revolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dublin Posted March 23, 2006 What's this I hear about The Revolution's offical name being: Nintendo GO. Can anybody confirm or (please) deny? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenty Posted March 23, 2006 What's this I hear about The Revolution's offical name being: Nintendo GO.Can anybody confirm or (please) deny? I don't think it will be the name of the console (well i hope not), it's more likely to be a trademark for something else. Look at the logo, it's a bunch of dpads in a cube and doesn't appear to bear much of a visible relation to the console whereas the gamecube logo gad well.. a cube thing in it and the DS logo represents the two screens. If it's not a fake then maybe it's a trademark related to the WiFi network, or some technology that allows you to take your downloaded games with you on your DS or.. a brochure for a Nintendo employee pension scheme or something!

n0wak Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, if anything it's for a Revolution service rather than the system itself. Still, apart from the gradients, that logo isn't too bad. I like the implied optical illusionish Cube in there (or, if you look at it another way, not there). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oath Posted March 24, 2006 I'm guessing it's for their downloadable content service. Not that I have any basis for that, it's just that it's a pretty cool name (better than Live!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netmonkey Posted March 24, 2006 Now I want a DS any of you thumbers (not the psp guy, he sucks) want to switch your ds with a classic rare hard-to-find collector's game boy color? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted March 24, 2006 Wait, which PSP guy? As I understand it, a few of us have them and just like our DS's more. Either way, me likey the Zelda trailer and the prospect of playing a bunch of old Sega games that I never had a chance to play. Happy happy happy. :woohoo: Side note: In the Zelda trailer, is Link following the fairy around? If so, it may get a bit irritating to direct the fairy with the stylus and cover up the screen by doing so. Worries begin for me now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
