“Expand the definition of gaming”…Revolution conference?

Nintendo RevolutionI don´t want to get your hopes up guys but there is a tiny chance we´ll be getting some info on the Nintendo Revolution sooner than expected.

There´s a game convention in Germany this month (August 18th - 21st) and as you can see there´s a Nintendo 60 minutes conference scheduled for August 17th at 10:30 AM.

This wouldn´t be a big deal if the name of the conference wasn´t “Expand the definition of gaming”, but it is and we might get some details on the Revolution.

Cross your fingers but don´t jump out the window if here is not a lot of relevant information revealed.

Nintendo Revolution new pic?

The image above has popped up on the internet today. According to Joystiqs´s informant, the pic represents “a component of the Revolution’s interface”. My guess is that the pic is as fake as all the controller pics that have been showing up lately. It certainly can´t be the DVD Player since we already know that it´s going to be internal.

If it´s real well…i don´t have idea what it might be.

Miyamoto talks: Revolution, Wi-Fi and more

Shigeru Miyamoto DSShigeru Miyamoto gave some extra details on the revolution on a recent interview to EGM, we are getting used to not expecting a lot from recent interviews where nintendo people just discuss little details and this is not the exception.

He talked a bit about the games they could be planning for the upcoming console hinting new Pikmin and Luigi´s mansion sequels: “Nothing’s set in stone yet, but the interface we’re creating for the Revolution is well suited to Pikmin”.

Miyamoto san also talked a bit about the Wi-Fi possibilities, as expected, the Revolution will connect to the DS and he also said the console won´t have an Ethernet port, just the USB we already know about.

He also answered some questions about the critics regarding the graphics and the lack of built-in DVD support.

I don´t know why the critics on the graphics keep coming, i mean, we still don´t even know the specs and we certainly haven´t seen in game graphics.

Nintendo Revolution will not be revealed at TGS

By Nintendude under Nintendo Revolution, Nintendo News

Tokyo Game ShowAccording to the Tokyo Game show 2005 exhibitor´s list, Nintendo won´t show up for the event. This wouldn´t be the first time they do this since they have skipped the TGS before.

This probably means we won´t be seeing info on the Revolution and since there are not big events remaining in the gaming industry for this year i wouldn´t be surprised if we don´t see a lot of Nintendo´s next gen console until next year. A extra conference is not discarded yet, most likely this would happen on Xbox 360 launch month but i wouldn´t get my hopes up.

TGS is scheduled for September 16 to September 18, this event is like the japanese version of the e3 important developers like Capcom and Bandai will be assisting to show games that as usual are not expected to launch in America.
