WHOA.  NICE.  You're my hero.  I think there needs to be more buttons on the controller, though.  If the grip buttons are L and R, what are the shoulder buttons?  And I don't see the power jack?

I certainly hope that's not what the <I>controllers</I> are going to be like. I'm going to sit here and deny it 'till E3. Maybe even after E3.

Well the console itself looks nice. the controller on the other hand... I agree with you, Suffix

Most likely I will never get a Revolution because of money, but I still wonder why they make the newer consoles more high-tech.  I mean they might as well just make a computer, so then you can not only play games, but go on the internet and download music and creat myspaces and etc.!  Whatever happened to "run, jump, hit the flag"?

If your day is bad, a nice comment at night can change everything.

Games are getting too complex, but most of them actually have roots to older games. I actually read somewhere that GTA: San Andreas is loosely based on Super Mario 64, as Rockstar kind of emulated the 'roaming' aspect of the game- you don't have to do complete missions, just roam. In my eyes, that's what makes a game- just being able to pick it up and play, and not having to do what the game tells you to do.

Ugh!! What is this horrible thing on the bottom of my post??

Must...buy...Revolution...now. If olny I could. There needs to be a few more buttons on that controller. Without more buttons, who will understand how to play games on the Revolution?

It is just a concept someone drew. There are lots of them around the internet.

Yeah, thanks goodness.  And didn't someone say that the Revolution could be set up horizontally or vertically?  That doesn't quite look like it could.  And the concepts of the controllers do look neat but two buttons is just plain sad.  Otherwise... yeah, that looks cool.

On the Nsider forums some one posted these images in this thread.  Check out how the thread was edited.  Funny.


Have you seen the Revolution Mock-Up video?  I watched a couple of days ago and must say it was worth watching even though it's fake.  It was created by Psyco31eR, the maker of the infamous "Super Mario's Universe" video in 2003.



Luigison, please . . .

Edit: Sorry, the images were much larger than I thought.

Hmm interesting. Still though, I thought Revolution wasn't the offical name. I also heard it's going to be about the size of three DVD cases stacked on top of each other. Woah, and I thoguht eh Cube was portable.

Out of curiousity, where did you get those pictures, Luigison?

*Refuses to give up source of picture on bases of having forgotten it.

I have a lot of sites I visit regularly for images.  It doesn't take much digging to find dirt.  Finding the real dirt is another story.

Here's some methods I use:
- Search images.google.com (usely doesn't find the latest images)
- Setup email notification for certain words on sites.  CNN is an easy one to setup, but provides little news that can't be found from other sources.
- Portals like news.google.com, my.yahoo.com, and news.yahoo.com
- SlashDot.org (lately they've had too much opinion and fluff)
- Gizmondo.com (poor editing, but some amazing products)
- blogs
- IGN (often wrong, but mostly interesting)
- press.nintendo.com It's interesting to note how they change articles after their posted.
- Too many forums to list them all, but WarpPipe is one of my favorites.
- sites in other countries, blogs, and the like dsupdate.net, gamingevolution.blogspot.com, and engadget.com
