BUTT 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Not quite: Xbox 360 officially will be backward compatible with the prior system's top-selling games, said Microsoft's Vice President Peter Moore. Microsoft will pick and choose only the most popular Xbox titles from its huge backlist of games and will most likely use emulator software for those limited titles. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/614/614498p1.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 That fucking sucks. I hope they continue Xbox Live support for the original Xbox, so I can still play less popular titles online. Less than 24 hours til I go to E3! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 New Zelda trailer..and although I'm not the biggest Zelda fan, looks pretty cool. As someone else put it too, the 'Sin City' type shots look sort of interesting/unique also. http://www.zelda.com/universe/game/legendzelda/trailer.jsp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Nintendo jerking us around about the controller = lame Until they do, the big question now will be the prices. I call $360 for the 360, $350 for the PS3, and $200 for the Revolution. No way in hell is Sony going to release the PS3 without being very close in price to the 360's, whatever it is. Sony'd won the 32-bit war virtually as soon as they announced $300 for the PS1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Revolution will be more expensive than the `Cube was at launch because it has more built-in features now, most notably the DVD player. I'm calling it at about $349.99-$449.99, with Microsoft being towards the higher end and Nintendo at the lower end, and Sony coming in somewhere in between.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 But the PS3 plays Blu-Ray and HD-DVDs. Regular DVD-playing isn't that expensive to implement these days, I don't think. Sure, 360 has the hard drive, but it's going to be a modest one it seems. Microsoft being towards the higher end would kill them, I think, unless they start out a little more and drop to coincide with PS3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 Game Boy Mini: http://www.insidepulse.com/articles/37656 E3 2005: More Details On Game Boy Micro Posted By Alex Williams on 05.17.2005 Play all your existing GameBoy games on something REALLY TINY! In a bit of some breaking news at Nintendo's pre-E3 conference, Nintendo has revealed their newest version of the GameBoy: the GameBoy Micro. The unit itself is four inches wide, two inches tall, and weighs exactly 2.8 ounces. The only face buttons are the D-Pad, and A/B buttons. Start and Select have migrated to the bottom of the unit, with L and R still remaining on top. The unit is able to play all previous GameBoy titles, from original, to Color, to Advance. The unit also comes equipped with an adjustable backlight (a first for the GB series), a rechargable lithium-ion battery, and a headphone jack. It took Nintendo four years to include ALL these features on an Advance-compatible handheld, but they've finally done it! The GBM is not, however, a next-gen successor to the GameBoy line. It is simply a redesign and improvement of the original Advance hardware. No price was announced, but we can expect the GameBoy Micro to be released this fall. Not exciting, but at least this means there probably isn't a portable more powerful than the DS right around the corner from Nintendo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't had a handheld system since the original Game Boy came in different colors (I had a blue one! And a black one after I lost that one.), and I didn't want to buy a DS if all it meant was that it was going to be inferior to the next GB. I have a problem with handhelds at times, since I don't get out much, and when I do, I'm not really somewhere where I can be playing video games or something. The Game Boy Micro seems kinda cool though, something you'll actually be able to fit into your pocket. It's not much bigger than a large cell phone, if the description is accurate.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2005 The name "Twilight Princess" is going to suck the cool factor right out of the new Zelda. Yep. Link being able to transform into a werewolf = nintendo jumping the shark on the Zelda franchise.. sure.. As far as prices, I dont believe it, but someone in the Endgadget discussion said that EBgames was taking preorders for the XBox 360...for $780. Im guessing thats probably about $300 more than it will cost, but I could see the 360 seeling for $499 with a price cut to $399 (or $360?) when the PS3 comes out a year later. The PS3 will probably run $399 too. IF this is the case, I could see the Revolution running $249-$299. And please kill me, Im watching G4's E3 coverage. PLEASE KILL ME.
