No revolution at E3?

AMN News Team Leader Ray Almeda had the recent oppurtunity to ask Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, for a straight answer whether or not the Revolution would be playable or consumer-demoed at E3:

"We'll have more details there. But as for playing it at E3, not a chance. It's still way too early."

Also asked whether or not the upcoming Game Boy system, labeled "Game Boy Next" by some, would make any appearance at E3, Reggie said, "Game Boy Next? What is this Game Boy Next? People keep talking about Game Boy Next here and there. We're still committed to focusing all of our priorities on the GameCube, our portable systems including the DS, and the Revolution. The next Game Boy will not make an appearance at E3. It's also way too early."

DAMMIT!!!!

OMG, way too early for the GBA 2? Aren't they talking about releasing it later this year? They must not be planning to release it that early.

I'm thinkin it might coincide with the Revolution release.

The DS is a brand new product and not many people know about so it's definitely okay that Revolution isn't going to be present. Everyone is curious about the DS and how it works.

Nintendo Has 2 Mysteries: DS and Revolution

Sony Has 1 Mystery: PS3

Microsoft Has 1 Mystery: Xbox 2

Nintendo mentioned Revolution being shown behind closed doors to select people but when developers see how far along Sony/MS are with their consoles and how far behind it seems Nintendo is, they're gonna learn a hard mistake.

But who knows, maybe things will turn out great....

sounds like a justification. no one is all interested in learning about the all mysterious DS. they can walk into a store and play it. now i didnt say they arent interested in the DS, i said the 'all mysterious ds' the DS still has many things that people would like to know. but i certainly wouldnt call it a mystery, and if at E3, nintendo expects to show DS while MS and Sony are showing the first showings of playable knew hardware that no one has ever seen before, then nintendo is going to be hearing many crickets around thier booth.

I was kind of disapointed, but maybe it's for the best. Look how hard of a time Microsoft got after their E3 showing of Xbox sucked. They had to work their asses off to make themselves look good. Nintendo shouldn't show until it is going to blow peoples' minds.

I'm starting to lose a lot of faith in Nintendo's ability to stay afloat with the competition, if it is way to early to show the Revolution it just means that Sony and Microsoft are going to leave Nintendo in the dust.

The DS is a good handheld, but being able to play online only if your in a wireless hotspot may not appeal to people. What would cause me to go out and buy a DS is if they showcased some kind of palm software and media player at E3. Until then portables don't realy appeal to me.

I would at least like a final name for the console out of them. And maybe a logo. That would appease me.

if you tack down DS as a 'mystery', then it would only make sense to add PSP to Sony's list.

only if you thought logically, though...

Back on topic? Zelda? This is about the Revolution not being at E3....But they said more info would come out so basically I think Nintendo will reveal specs, and maybe it's real name.
