Sadly, just read a news story on Cubed3.com, and turns out it's just speculation
Have to wait until E3 for those kinda details. Iwata's just planning on rabbitin'! Aparently details of his speech were posted on the official website of the GDC earlier, but then removed again!
God da.mn it
. So in essence it(the speech) probably will contain the usual rhetoric from Iwata stating how great the DS is doing(which it is
) and how Nintendo are gonna bring a 'revolution' to gaming. Doh, i do and always will support Nintendo but c'mon give up some details Ninty. Treat us idiots who want to throw our hard-earned at you with something solid and concrete for once.
.......roll on E3........:S
Hehe, yeah, you got it right on the dot there my Ninty lovin' associate! We all knew there would be more of these silly teases and reminders of how Nintendo think their Revolution will revolutionise gaming! I think it's come to the point now where we really dont give a sh*t about how it's done using loads of eery business and corporate words, and start dishing out on how exactly the games are gonna play, look, feel, etc etc etc. I WANNA PLAY!!!
its obvious. if nintendo releases hardware specs now, they'll get shred to pieces, overanalized and mathematically (which is incorrect in most IT-related issues) compared to the competition. if they release design details - the same thing. people will end up overanalizing everything.
really, i think nintendo does it the best way right now - since they already told us everything that counts. they should just release the box, release some great games with it and really... stats dont matter, games do.
i'm surely waiting, even tho i wont buy it on release this time... i'm quite sure of that...

Hardware DOES matter. Better quality games can be run with better hardware. You cant run Doom 3 on high res with all the goodies on a P1 33Mhz, and a 8MB video card. You need better hardware than that.

Wise words indeed on which i agree except that i will be getting the console on release
As for hardware Nintendo know they are behind the other two so yeah keep mum about specs. History is in favour of nintendo. The snes had a cpu running at 3, yes 3 MHZ and no-one complained about Donkey Kong did they. Most people were convinced that it was a next-gen game back then. In comparison the Megadrive ran at 16MHZ. Sony over-estimated the PS2 performance a lot with the best(graphically) games running at approx 7 million polygons per second these days which is fairly impressive nonetheless. On the other hand the gamecube was supposed to push 12 million polygons a second and at launch Star Wars wowed everybody with an actual count of 14 million polygons per second.The battle on endor level alone had over 100 independent spaceships on screen at once before you unleashed mighty destruction on the empire lol.
So really this says yeah Nintendo who cares about specs, we know graphically the Rev will be up to par, also it will not need masses of resources to produce HDTV output a la PS3/X360. Res4/Prime 2 graphics with a bit more polish will suit most people fine in my honest opinion.
I'm bored now,peace.
Man, listeneing to...er, reading...these comments is very informative. Thanks a lot!
Personally, I have faith in Nintendo. They haven't let me down yet!
Over the last couple of days an interview with Reggie fils-aime has been posted on a dutch website (forgot link will edit it in when found) stating that the revolution will definitely be playable at E3. Although as usual no other content was divulged.
Heh heh same old Nintendo, another tidbit for us all to go speculate on again lol
i I fancy a playable demo of pilotwings with 'that' controller.
*refuses to stop speculating lol*

Also i fancy F-Zero Revolution as well. Hold the free-hand controller, press A to accel. and a quick flick to the left or right to unleash a nice ram attack into your opponents lol. Using the other controller to steer of course. Come on Amusement vision, you know you want to.........maybe users could design their own circuits and upload to a server for the rest of the planet to race on...cool
*refuses to stop speculating*
EDIT: According to NOA revolution owners are going t be able to purchase web browser software...... Is this an NOA employee having a laugh or not........surce of info =
