Okay, this is good but will we finally get some answers about the controller and system specs, our will it just be a "just you wait, it's gonna be awesome" prep talk? Well, not that it matters too much. Even if they do impress me, I would still be reluctant to buy the console until the price dropped dramatically (around $100). But, I guess we'll see at the press conference.

As Grindstone says. I hope we finally get to more on the Revolution other than promises of innovation. I would like to see one or two game demos and the anticipated control interface. I'm looking forward to the Revolution as much as the 360, but with all this cloak and dagger aoproach Nintendo are taking it's starting to get rather dull. Fingers crossed we see more of the Revolution next week and it's not just another 'We are going to Revolutionise Gaming" speech

Im interested to see what Nintendo will do with the revolution - i liked the idea behind the Nintendo DS so im excited to see what mad and crazy inovations they will think of for a console. Just hope they make more games for the rev unlike the GC

where did you get that quote from exxo, I don't see it on the link you gave. (I can see on the schedule where it has Nintendo's press conference, but what did you quote?)

Cool, Ill be interested in keeping an eye on this - I am looking forward to the Revolution more than any other console. I bet they wont tell us anything though, I have no faith in Nintendo.

They will probably show the world what the Revolution will look like....again. And they will tell everyone that it will change gaming....again.

All people want to see is the controller, Nintendo!

Oh yeah

But there's a much bigger chance that we'll see the controller than games - I remember someone saying that the controller will be known by the end of the year.

Sorry about that. I got the quote from Nintendo Fanboy. As the site states, they are extremely biased. Hope that helps.

lol their slogan at the top is "100% biased Nintendo news". At least they can come right out and say it, I respect'em for that.
