Nintendo e3 thread 2

[rusty]

Does anyone think that little door below the DVD slot could be a seperate slot for the GC discs?

no, with slot drives being able to take smaller discs now, i think nintendo can't afford to have two drives taking up space


edit geeze, what is it with me and typing "...ign" instead of "...ing" lately

You just "don't get it", I guess.

Oh, I got it! I just waited for it to come in platinum.


Looking at the thing made me wish they'd played with light a bit more. I keep picturing a red light would sweep across the Nintendo logo, lighting it up when you power the system on. ^_^

Otherwise I'm mainly wondering what kinds of ports they're going to stick on the back of that thing. I imagine there are four controller ports (I hope USB) sitting under that middle section on front, but the PS3 has kinda gotten me wired on I/O possibilities (pardon the pun), and that'd be a lot to put on the back of something that small. Heh...

I like the design, though IMO it looks more like dvd-unit than a console. Despite me liking it (I think it's much better looking and sleek than Xbox360), the design does boggle me. Who is Nintendo targeting?

Will yuo be able to fit a Revolution into a spare 5 1/4" drive bay?

I definitely don't think we should expect lots of ports like SD and Compact Flash ect.. Nintendo wouldn't do that no matter what the size

probally Japan since it so small and they might buy the small system over a bigger more powerfull one

I like the design though I also like how the all stand on there side that way they will fit under my tv stand(lets hope none of them are to tall)

Anyone have live audio for the Nintendo Press Conference?

I haven't been able to find a site that wasn't pay to listen....

Hey, maybe that IS what they meant by their PC connectivity! Not just connecting to monitors... being put in your computer!

[Phil]

[Joe DeFuria]

Thanks a lot

Bloody hell Nintendo are really making us wait. "The conference will start in 5 minutes". Ten minutes later "the conference will start in 2 minutes" 15 minutes later... nothing..

 

[Evil_Cloud]

It's about to begin.

 

[Teasy]

Still hasn't started. This must be why we only get the Nintendo minute once a week, because one Nintendo minute takes one week..

 

[tt22]

According to the clock in this link you'll have to wait about 15min more

"Later than planned" is kind of in line historically with their console product launches though.
