Nintendo Conference

Just out of the conference. The key announcements:
Nintendo Revolution unveiled - due out in 2006 the sleek looking console (about the same size has 3 CD DVD cases)will have full backwards compatibility with Gamecube and, crucially, allow users to download games from Nintendo's 20 yr back catalogue.
Game Boy Micro - out before Christmas. A small and relatively sleek new Game Boy. Essentially a rebranded GBA SP, this offers no new technology but is going for the style gamer market
Nintendo DS wi-fi gaming - new online service for the DS launches later this year with wireless Mario Kart looking good.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - more footage shown of this dark new Zelda game. Fans whoop, and enjoy a collective spine tingle moment.
