The Revolution looks really nice. Tiny, shiny piano black, glowing blue slot load tray. Very nice. Nintendo are being refreshingly honest on the spec too saying it’s only going to be two or three times more powerful than the GameCube. No untextured polygons here. Of course their killer tech is meant to be the controller - we’ll see if they reveal that at the  Nintendo E3 press event.

Update: The Nintendo conference just ended, sadly I had to watch it streaming rather than in person. The Revolution will let you download Nintendo back catalogue games - very smart move on their part. No Revolution footage though but then it is still a way off. The new Zelda also looks nice (lucky attendees got the trailer on a DS cart) and the newly announced GBA Micro is… well, tiny. Think I’m happy with my SP though, especially if the screen on the Micro is smaller. Sadly, no new Metroid footage, by far my favourite Nintendo franchise. Sad panda.
