Pre-E3 2005: Breaking: Revolution Details
Sleek system to play standard DVDs, says Nintendo. More inside.

May 12, 2005 - The Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005 is still days away, but that hasn't stopped Microsoft from debuting its Xbox 360 console on MTV. And now Nintendo has followed suit, revealing some new meaty details about its next-generation console, codenamed Revolution.

Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs Perrin Kaplan describes the console as "very, very sleek." The system, which is reportedly tiny, will stand horizontally. Its width will reportedly be no more than three DVD cases stacked flatly on each other, or slightly more than an inch.

Revolution will play standard DVD media this time around. No word yet if the console will be able to play DVD movies.

It will also be able to play high-definition games and go online.

Love it, sounds cool!!!

Something tells me that it's gonna be full sized discs with a Nintendo twist to it....

**HereticPB** · 05-13-2005, 05:59 AM

If the Rev has the same or more compression as the GC it will be amazing. In another topic it is said that the GC compression is 6 to 1. Imagine all the stuff they will do with a DVD disc and compression.

While the other systems use a slower larger capacity disk Nintendo uses last Generation tech to swamp the future tech.

Ahahaha!

only if developers think the Revolution is worth making games for... damn LucasArts *stabs them again*

i find it hard to believve that they have already finalized the design. however, my nintendo fanboyism won't let me not believe her. so yippee.

**link-to-future** · 05-13-2005, 06:11 AM

I wonder how much capacity it'll hold, DVD's that is.

**link-to-future** · 05-13-2005, 06:14 AM

I'm very interested in the NR design

Hey Link, try not to double post. Just edit your posts.

**HereticPB** · 05-13-2005, 06:17 AM

Standard dvd is 4.7 Gigs I believe. I would say with compression probably double so 9.4 gigs. Also don't forget it is possible to double, triple layer these discs for more storage space. This of course with layering may slow the loading times down in the games. It is probably more likely that Nintendo will be using a specially created DVD disc for Rev.
