E3 2005: Revolution Details Emerge
Two-to-three more times powerful than GameCube.
by Matt Casamassina
May 17, 2005 - New details regarding Nintendo's next-generation console, codenamed Revolution, have started to sprinkle onto the Internet. The machine, which will be revealed during Nintendo's pre-E3 2005 show on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, will sport a slick, black design and a front blue light.
Revolution will be "two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube," according to Nintendo, which also acknowledges that the next-generation race isn't solely about new technologies. By contrast, Microsoft's Xbox 360 console is 13-15 times more powerful than the first, according to the publisher. And Sony says it's PlayStation 3 is roughly 35 times more powerful than PlayStation 2.
Nintendo also revealed that using Revolution's new Wi-Fi connection, gamers would be able to go online to a free gamer-matching service. Interestingly, in a move similar to Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade service, Revolution users will be able to download classic and new Nintendo games over the Internet. Nintendo cited such examples as Donkey Kong and Super Mario Sunshine, which suggests that Revolutionaries could have access to games for all the publisher's previous consoles.

yeah... the trick is there are many nintendo fun boys arround the worldCid Highwind said:It's going to be the weakest, but at least it's done on purpose meaning nintendo must have other tricks up it's sleave. I hope they will reveal more about those. I think they have if they want to keep up with the other two consoles. Even though it's targeted at different types of gamers, ppl can still spend their money only once..... unfortunately![]()
Yes Revolution will play DVD's :thumb: and also this looks more like a NES and did you guys hear about the fact you can download games for NES, SNES and N64 and play them :beer: (Article)Cid Highwind said:Yeah..
I'm also very curious about the price, the Cube has got a very friendly pricetag, I hope the Rev is going the same way. I still need a dvd player in my bedroom so.... :innocent:
Ahhh but it is 5 consoles in one...Katsuya said:Hmmm. Looks like a Rom-drive you could put this in a customized computer case. I like that. But it will be the weakest system technologically.
