Despite some pretty hopeful speculation, Nintendo’s Saturo Iwata did not announce the Nintendo Revolution’s final name during his keynote speech at the GDC, nor did he give credence to an earlier release date for the next-gen console.
Speculation ran high that Iwata was going to give out the Revolution’s final name and perhaps announce a summer release for the console. It was also ventured the Revolution’s final name would end up being Nintendo Go.
Nintendo’s president focused on gameplay and the innovations that are in the works. He used the DS to demonstrate some of Nintendo’s philosophies. The game Brain Age as well as the game Metroid Prime Hunters was used to illustrate some of the new innovations Nintendo has made.
In conclusion, Nintendo Revolution fans did not learn anything new today. Iwata did not spill any big secrets, nor did he reveal any details. We are still as clueless as were yesterday. Hopefully E3 2006 will be more informative, but we will have to wait and see.
