E3 – Revolution announced

Posted on May 18, 2005 in Games

Nintendo had the last press conference where they announced their new next gen console Revolution. It looks pretty but not much info has been released about it. Some have been saying 2-3 times more powerful than the GameCube but nothing has been confirmed. It has been announced that it will be completely backwards compatible. It will play GameCube games right out of the box and support emulation of NES, SNES and N64 games!

Here are some pictures of it:


It looks like it will be a good choice for Nintendo fans or people looking for a cheaper system than the other two:
