Nintendo has released a picture of their new console the
Revolution
And here's some details of the next
Zelda game, for the Gamecube I think.
Lastly a
pic of the Gameboy Micro.

I didn't think the gameboy could get any smaller than the SP and still actually be visible without an electron microscope.
I just bought a gameboy player so I can see 'em big on the telly. Unfortunately it's Japanese and I have no idea what the menu options are for.

the revolution is a bad design, IMHO.
it's a nintendo, it's target market is 8-14.
to give it lots of corners and easy to knock over... *BAD IDEA*

i rather liked the game cube, and the N64 had some really top class games on it (perfect dark and goldeneye, i rest my case).
the target audience isnt 8-14 year olds, remember the company is very very japaneese and there all mad as.... really mad things.
japaneese love really brightly coloured and surreal games, it was released outwith japan as more of an after-thought.

Yes, I think they are trying to be all grown up with this one and copying the other two, but it doesn't really work - it looks like what a kid would design if told to draw something grown-up, ie: boring.
I think it should be a sphere, with four little sphere feet to keep it upright.
