Nintendo Revolution Under Wraps Past E3

Posted by Zonk on from the taking-their-ball-and-going-home dept.

The next-generation Nintendo console, codenamed Revolution, may not be shown at this year's E3. Eurogamer reports that the Japanese console maker is going to keep the console under wraps to keep the features of the new system out of the limelight a little while longer. From the article: "Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata is worried about rivals nicking all his best ideas at this early stage. That's how revolutionary the new console is, apparently... and also the exact same line Nintendo used to avoid showing Mario 128 at a previous E3."

    Nintendo has the most to gain by releasing a console based on Linux. In this respect, they could capture some console market and then facilitate for the same apps to be released on Linux. At some point, the chicken and the egg problem with Linux will be solved and quite profitable.

    That was a great song. And anybody who says that there was no conscious knowledge of its LSD properties is on Crack.... despite what all the band members say.
