Anyway, Im glad. I do NOT want a touch screen. To much clutter.

I DO want presure grips! They would take up exactly zero extra space, could act as grips, would be EXTREAMLY easy to use, and would alow you to speed up or gauge attacks! That would be SOOOOO COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they do have pressure grips I want a HUGE threshold and EXTREAM duribility in the controller.

Pressure grips would be great as long as they arent overused. Games could be hard to control if pressure grips are used for nothing thats related to (uh) pressure.

I think that touch thing is cool

I think it could be used like... if you are pressing grips and you press "attack" your attack will be stronger, but the harder you hold the grips, the slower ur charechter moves, that way you cant just hold em down. You have to time it!

The controllers won't be touch-focused (thank God) because Iwata-san himself already made that quite clear. Besides, it would be REALLY hard to have that sort of thing incorporated with wireless controllers. Do you know how much money those things would go for? I don't even want to think about that...

NEW INFO!(or at least I think)
In its final form, Revolution will be about the thickness of three standard DVD cases and only slightly longer. The versatile Revolution will play either horizontally or vertically, allowing the user total flexibility in setting up a gaming session wherever they have a television.

Thanks to Nintendo's hardware development partners IBM and ATI, the small system will be packed with power that will enable it to wow players with its graphics. Nintendo's legions of loyal fans will be happy to learn that Revolution will be backward compatible, playing both Nintendo GameCube 3-inch disks along with its own standard, double-layered DVD disks in the same self-loading media drive.

In the next generation, the addition of the Internet will be important to all consoles and particularly important to Nintendo. Revolution will be wireless Internet ready out of the box.

There's much more to Revolution that will be revealed over the coming months, but the combination of its compact size, wireless Internet, backward compatibility, quick start-up time and quiet, low-power operation add up to the start of a great game system. Get ready for the Nintendo Revolution in 2006!

Taken from Nintendo of Europe.

I heard it will have FREE wireless online play. I sure as hell hope so.

We all know about the console, but the best thing has to be the controller. I heard rumors that it will have the same amount of buttons as the GC controller but will still have like a touch pad thing instead of a d-pad or anologue stick and it will have the gyro thing and the pressure grips. I mean, how cool is that gonna be?

I swear, if Nintendo tries out some more innovative crap and it blows up in their face, this will be the last time I EVER buy a Nintendo product!

Don't forget the rumbling feature of the controllers. You are forgetting the rumbling feature.

As for the controller, it's confirmed that it's not going to be a touch-pad. There are, however, squeezable R and L buttons.

By the way, isn't Nintendo Revolution going to use Blue-Ray discs?

Being that you copied this word for word from gamespot, please state a source.

No, Im not. I dont expect the controller to rumble non-stop for 24 hours. If yours does there is something wrong with your controler.

By the way, isn't Nintendo Revolution going to use Blue-Ray discs?

No. Blue-Ray is owned by Sony. the PS3 will use blue-ray. Both the X360 and REV will use HD-DVDs.

Woh Woh Woh i havent heard anything about it being internet ready right out of the box, is this for sure??

Lmao.... I guess so.

Ah, okay. But weren't Nintendo Revolution is going to use something like mini-disc again but only, it's more powerful?

it is confirmed revolution will play standered dvds, therefore with the extra space for dvds theyll prbly be using regular size dics but ya never know. of COURSE its going to be more powerful technology is advancing.

so, i'd like to take this time to sum up this thread:

the N5, codename REVOLUTION will have:

-HD-DVD's as it's discs
-a hard drive
-will be the size of three DVD cases stacked, and only slightly longer
-better graphics
-wifi ready (out of box)
-Free online service
-backwards compatible
-wireless controllers
-gyroscopic controllers
-pressure-sensitive controllers
-headset to talk to friends online
-be able to hook up with a computer monitor
-can play DVD's

if i have missed anything, or have gotten anything wrong... say something.
