The Revolution Will Not Be HD

Posted by Zonk on from the high-def-crap-is-still-crap dept.

Gamecube Advanced has the news that the Revolution will not support HD signals. From the article: "Nintendo doesn't plan for the system to be HD compatible as with that comes a higher price for both the consumer and also the developer creating the game. Will it make the game better to play? With the technology being built into the Revolution, we believe the games will look brilliant and play brilliantly. This can all be done without HD." Sony and Microsoft are hanging the moon on the HD phenomenon, with both consoles supporting at least 720p or 1080i. Press the Buttons has commentary on the announcement.

    Of course the revolution won't be in HD, the revolution won't even be televised!

    So long as the revolution will be televised, I'm happy.
