BreakingBenjamin Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Nope, incorrect. Those ports you mentioned are on the top side of the console, as you can see in this pic from IGN: The slot below the disc should be for SD cards, and possibly the DVD-movie dongle. The rest of what you said is acurate, though. So, imagine you have 4 normal gamecube controllers connected to the ports. So if you accidentally over pull the controller, the revolution will just fall and crack? Or can you actually put the revo in another position?

AJerman Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Is there a link to some audio stream or something? I'm sure there will be at least information and probably live updates here: http://www.revolutionfanboy.com/ I dunno about anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystical112 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I KNEW IT! Ok pplz pay up now ;) either that or its what nintendo is gonna call there online service... There have been a few theories, one, which I personally prescribe to, is that "Nintendo Go" is the internet service they will be providing. As of now it is currently unnamed, and would be akin to the Xbox Live service, as "Nintendo Wi-Fi" isn't too catchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsolete_power Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I forsee the "Go" to be a weak system. Xbox 360/PS3 have blu-ray, HD, wireless ports etc which Nintendo won't.... Nintendo was always behind in the technology. Why can't they make a powerful system like possibly PS3 or 360 instead of focusing on "fun, party games" that have catroonish graphics...Its a shame since Nintendo is the console veteran and Microsoft/Sony are new at this but have surpassed Nintendo with every console release...Pitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, all three systems have wireless controllers. Thirdly, N64 and GameCube were more powerful than their competitors (bar Xbox). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elithion Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 "Revolution owners will be able to relive their past gaming glories from the Sega Genesis console by playing a "best of" selection from more than 1,000 Genesis titles, as well as games sold for the TurboGrafx console (a system jointly developed by NEC and Hudson). These games join Revolution's access to 20 years of fan-favorite Nintendo games from the NES?, Super NES? and Nintendo? 64 eras". OMG!!!

AJerman Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) it's official, the revolution will kick ass lol more than 1000 genesis title (plus NES, SNES etc) :drool: I can do all that on my original Xbox haha. Pretty cool for them to finally build it in though. I'm kind of surprised that Sega gave licensing to Nintendo, but then again, they were probably the only company to ask for it. Nintendo is commited to creating a development environment that lets developers and publishers expand and express themselves. In a few weeks, you will play and see and understand our philosophy. Final dev kit maybe? I read that some have gone out, but not to all devs, and on top of that it was just temporary, so I'm guessing that's what he's refering to since he is addressing a developer crowd.

AJerman Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) Well there goes another useless keynote by Nintendo :p So much for getting any new information. They sure are keeping quiet about everything. yea well i can do all that and more with my pc....oh wait...its not exactly legal though....and lots of "casual" gamers will never do it....so this will bring them those classics Yeah, uhh... anyway, thanks for stating the obvious. I was throwing it in there to make a point. The point being that it's nice that someone finally built it into the system. The point wasn't that I do it or don't do it on my Xbox, and the legality of it. I edited a word or two in my original post so that you can perhaps see the point even easier now.
