This post is titled Whoops. My bad. by author SoulJah. But I really thought that NintendoOn.wmv looked real. Anyway, here's the real Nintendo Revolution.


Nintendo Revolution
Nintendo Revolution
- Release is sometime in 2006.
- Prototype shown is larger than final unit.
- Nintendo is still determining final colors for the console.
- All-Access Gaming, which refers to backwards compatibility to 20 years of Nintendo games, NES, SNES, N64. We don't know particulars of how it'll be accessed or what, if any, the cost structure might be.
- Downloadable to 512MB of flash memory.
- SD memory card slot.
- Wireless controllers.
- Two USB 2.0 ports.
- Built-in WiFi.
- WiFi used to interface with the DS.
- DS likely to enhance future games.
- Self-loading optical drive that will play 12cm Revolution discs and smaller GameCube discs
- Self-contained attachment for playing media content, including DVDs.
- No controller was shown. So even though the box looks a lot like the one leaked over the weekend, the accompanying controllers were not presented. So was it a leak, or a really good guess?

Game Boy Micro
Game Boy Micro
- Launch is slated for this Fall.
- Silver in color for now, expect all sorts of rainbow-flavored variations.
- Dimensions: 4 inches wide by 2 inches tall and 0.7 inches thick.
- Weight: 2.8 ounces (80 paper clips' worth of weight).
- Processor: Same as GBA SP.
- Form factor: "Gleaming shoulder and start/select buttons that literally shine", removable and customizable face plate.
- Screen: 2-inches, backlit and the "best Game Boy screen ever" with adjustable brightness controls for use indoors or outdoors.
- Marketing angle: "We're making the gorgeous Game Boy Micro for image-conscious folks who love video games, the ones who want the look of their system to be as cool as the games they play on it" according to George Harrison, Nintendo of America Sr. VP of marketing. It's clear that they're going after the kids who are too cool to carry around an obvious gaming device but who don't mind carrying something that looks like the cell phone that they're already carrying.
- Accessories: built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery; supports standard headphones.
- Software: the Game Boy Advance has nearly 700 titles available, all of which will be playable on the Game Boy Micro.
