There's a fake Nintendo Revolution promotion video clip doing the rounds at the moment, and having seen it, I have to say, it's one very creative video! The bits that most impressed me were flying around the millions of Mario 64 castle's which all formed something else when the camera flew out. Damn nice. Also at the end is a really nice looking updated castle with Mario running out.

OMG

With this going around the net it's definitely going to raise expectations, which I'm afraid, Nintendo probably wont meet...

But damn that is cool.

thats a damn pretty good fake clip, it looked like someone had too much time on thier hands it definitely looks professional.

i saw that before and wow it had me convinced, a lot of time went into that clip for a fake :o i was wondering how they were going to pull off game enviroments that you can walk around inside your bedroom.

wow, looks great, very well done - at least until the 'gameplay' fotage. the terrible animation and dodgy samus design give it away i think.

Oh boy. The details from Nintendo's press conference is a bit underwhelming. Sure, they're not aiming to compete hardware wise in the next-gen race, but reselling old games for the new machine shouldn't be a major selling point for the console itself. :/ No details on the revolutionary aspect of the console yet (it's expected to involve the input controller), but I hope this isn't [url="http://www.sumea.com.au/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2911"]another in Nintendo's list of mistakes[/url]. I'm not sure if a slimmer GBA is what the fans want either. It's worrying that the fake clip got me more excited than recent Nintendo news...

Hey, you know it's funny to read back on what you've written in the height of all that excitement that was E3. I take back what I wrote in that post about Nintendo. I'm glad they're not in the hardware race and that they're approaching things differently. In any case, the hardware specs of the Nintendo Revolution aren't that bad at all (4 or 5 times the power of the Gamecube, wasn't it?). That should be able to do some really cool things.

I hope they do another game in the style of Wind Waker. That game looked amazing.

I read that the "2 or 3 times the power of the Gamecube" was just speculation. Got it from here:

The power of the revolution could be anything. Just gotta wait and see. (like with everything else about the Rev)

E3 summery:

microsoft over-hypes it all
sony bullshits it all
nintendo conceals it all

what exactly did we get out of it?

HORRAY! when i heared the news at E3 that nintendo was making it's prevoious titles available for download i thought: "sounds good, but i'm not paying any more than $5 do download a NES game" though i didnt consider that likly since they are charging $30 for NES to GBA re-releases.

free???? awsome. what's more, though the revolution will use wireless controllers, there are ports for gamecube controllers, so there shouldn't be any trouble playing older games on a weird new controller.

From what I've read on gamesites, it means that downloads won't be free, but will come as extras or bonuses with purchased games.

1up has an interview with the guy who created the fake Nintendo clip. [url="http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3141783"]Interesting[/url] [:)] He was working on some real cool stuff for it but suffered a HD crash.
