Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Maybe the "Revolution" is the fact that its slanted? :sneaky:

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

its just sitting on a slant, not slanted itself.

However.... controller/memory card slots on the Side of it? or ontop when its standing tall?

dont like that much.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Im thinking the revolution might be the multiple colors.

It is sleek though.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

God I love it.

It's like the Panasonic Q mixed with the PS2! With a side of Turbo-grafx 16.

So hot.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I feel strangely attracted to the lime green. Like the girl that peaks your interest but whom you would never date.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Well, I may be mistaken but does the controller and memory card port look like the Cube's to anyone else?

Also I think the console looks much better laying down. It just radiants more.

And the black, white, silver and red look good. Ditch the green.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

The logo on the console itself is horrible... it looks like Incognito's logo..

Aside from that the console looks really nice. I have to agree with Null though... Controller ports on the side or the top.... doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather have them wireless, or in the front of the console. Thats just me though..

I like the variety of colors... I wouldn't mind a red Revolution to sit beside my white PS3... :D

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

The controller ports are for playing GameCube games on it. The Revolution controller is that much different.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

yes, it might be thier way of backwards compatable with GC, if thier new controller has less buttons (they said they wanted to simplify thigns) and would make playin GC games difficult, they might be allowing you to use an actual GC controller for them.


and i agree with you the console looks much better lying down. lying down it looks very nice. i think it looks flat out ugly standing up, in that stand that makes it slant like that.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Wheres the midnight blue one?


Anyway, all those look pretty swell... all but the lime...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Ooh, red one is nice. It's the perfect companion for the Nintendo logo.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Oh man, that system is so hot! I like it better lying down. Slick!

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Eh, not bad. I agree with Null though, much better lying down then upright.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

As much as I dig Nintendo, I'm not feeling the look of the Revolution much. It seems confusing. It's like, the controller sockets are in the front, while the game disc slot is on one of the sides?

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

It's the swiss army knife of consoles. They haven't shown where the corkscrew and tiny tweezers are hidden yet.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I agree with you about the logo... it's not very appealing to me. I think the controller ports on the side/top is great, because you can cover it up to add to the sleek look when you're using Revolution, which will be wireless anyways. That whole section is just for backwards compatability, so t shouldn't really ruin the sleek look of the system itself when in use for Revoution.

I'm looking forward to a white console.. I hope they make white ones...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

There is a white one in the 4th picture in the first post of this thread...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

But that doesn't mean they'll actually make it. :)

I expect that the ports on the side are only for backwards compatibility. Although I hope it has a HD.

Very nice design.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

niiiiiice

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I shall call it.....the Turbo Panastation Q-16.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I would still buy it if it was called that.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

If anything, that would make me buy it more.



I was just about to send you the link too.


You crafty quick bastard.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Where do the GC games go? Whats going to prevent me from sticking a GC disc down the left side of the disc slot?

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I guarantee it would help sell consoles if they call it Nintendo 365.

Microsoft decided on Xbox 360 and THEN made up some stupid theme about the gamer being at the center or whatever. With the Nintendo 365 you can talk about how every day belongs to the gamer or some stupid sh#t like that.

Consumers are like sheep.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Theyre going into that blue thing you see on the Revolution...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Says who? You can see something beneath the 'blue thing', it could be a seperate GCN drive.
Of course that might make it more expensive, I don't know.....

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Wow... that has to be the most un educated answer I've heard...

He's asking if he sticks a GCN disc into the big blue slot-loader, what prevents it from getting the GCN disc stuck...

small discs like that need either a fitted slot loader or a small tray loader...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Its a joke, jeez...

And besides Nintendo said that both discs would go into the same drive...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I know that, but what I'm saying that because the GC disc is smaller than the discs they are going to be using for the Revolution, whats going to prevent me from sliding the GC disc in at the wrong spot or how is that part going to work where it centers the GC disc correctly?

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

It's a slot loading drive, all you have to do is slide it in the center and the machine will correctly align it. My iMac does the same thing. I think there's only a small section of that blue strip where a disc will actually be accepted. If you try to shove it in near the side, it won't work. If I hear one more person critisize Project Revolution's architecture, I'm closing the thread and banning the offender.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

honestly... thats why this is a unfinished hardware design like ps3's design.

quite possibly they may add like little guides to insert your GCN disc at a certain spot...

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

I wasn't criticizing the architecture, I actually love the design. I really didn't know how it worked so thats why I asked. Thanks for the clarification GameMaster :)

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Well, a lot of you already get it, but there seems to be some confusion about the controller/memory-card locations. The system contains 512 MB of flash memory to be used for game saves. On top of that, you can also use SD flash cards that will probably insert into the slots on the side and you'll still be able to close the little door.

As for discs getting stuck, I really don't see it as an issue. Gamemaster just gave his iMac up for example.


Think of there being little metal bars in the tray. I'll number them.

[-1-2-3-4-5]

If 2, 3, and 4 are pushed, it will accept the GC disc and slide it to the proper location. If you try to push it in the side ones, it won't let the disc go in because it has guards to prevent it. If you push in a standard DVD then 3, then 2 and 4, then 1 and 5 will get pushed and it only accepts the disc as these increments are observed.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Do we download these retro games onto the 512MB memory?

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Yes, NES games range from 2KB-250KB, SNES games from 512KB-8MB, and N64 games from 2MB-32MB (Resident Evil 2 and maybe 2 other games are 32MB - other than them the biggest is 16MB). So yes, you'll store the retro games on that as well. You shouldn't run out any time soon with that, but when and if that space runs out you're free to pick up SD cards (up to 2GB I think right?) for use in your Revolution to supplement the storage.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

remember its just nintendo made games..

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

Hm, I guess we can't complain, but I'd still have loved a HD.
2048 NES games or
256 SNES games or
64 N64 games.

Hm that's not that bad. :)
But remember, you also have to save your revolution and GCN stuff on that card.
We don't know that for sure, do we? Perhaps other companies will board the retro ship.

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

What I remember seeing is that games ranging from Donkey Kong to Super Mario Sunshine would be downloadable. It may imply "only Nintendo games," but I think it's intended to imply "only games on previous Nintendo consoles."

Re: NEW Revolution pics
 

The official word is "fan-favourite" games.

Nintendo's patched things up with third parties this last generation, so they'll have no problems asking permission to use really old games.
