Here's a E3 speech about new device:
Quote: | 10:14 am: Reggie shows the Game Boy Micro. Says "I know you haven't seen this. It's a hair bigger and two-thirds the weight of an iPod Mini." It's not new technology, but a new look and has the "best and brightest screen ever in a handheld." Not a successor to DS or GBA, but an extension of portable play. The system can be customized with a wide array of face plates and will hit this fall. |
Here's more speech:
Quote: | 9:27 am: Iwata: Convinced game development on Revolution will be easier and far less costly than for other machines. "Big idea can prevail over big budget." Revolution is a solution to help maximize creative freedom. Iwata then talks about backward compatibility. "Redefining term of backward compatability." It's a virtual console, able to download 20 years of Nintendo content. You will be able to Download NES, Super NES and N64 games. You can get every Nintendo game ever made. "Revolution shares a vision with DS. The machine is just a tool for software." |

Sounds like the Starbucks of video games.
But geez... that's smaller than an old NES controller. _________________

I just did some reading. From the source (that I put in the Revolution thread), the GB micro is just a bit bigger than a credit card.
How easy will it be to lose this thing? _________________

I may very well wet myself in anticipation.
I feel like a kid in a candy store with all this news coming in.
It's great that Nintendo isn't saying "we're not going to do that.... or that, or that..." like they did with the Cube. Now they're saying "not only are we doing this, we're doing this and this as well."
Good stuff. I know it's presumptuous, but Nintendo could very well win back a lot of fans with this one.... give the other two a serious run for their moneyz. _________________
