Nintendo Delivers: GDC Day 2 Wrap-Up

Credit Pacific Service Union Thousands of video-game developers, eager media, and gamers around the world have already been affected by Nintendo President Satoru Iwata's keynote yesterday at the annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. With Nintendo loyalists already in a flurry, Iwata made several major announcements during his keynote speech (full transcript here), "Heart of a Gamer", which included several ground-breaking highlights:

• Nintendo's next console, codenamed "Revolution" is right on schedule and will feature backwards compatibility and Wi-Fi features. IBM will be powering the system with a processing chip codenamed "Broadway." Nintendo will also continue their agreements as well with ATI, which is developing a graphics chip codenamed "Hollywood."

• Nintendo will soon offer a free Wi-Fi service for the DS sometime this year. The service will provide gamers with a link to other Nintendo DS users globally.

• Iwata showcased several new DS games, including the Wi-Fi enabled Animal Crossing, wireless-enabled Mario Kart DS, the voice-interactive NintenDogs, and the musically-charged Electro Plankton.

• Also unveiled were new images and a brand-new trailer of The Legend of Zelda for the Nintendo GameCube, slated to release in time for the 2005 holiday season. If you haven't seen it, it's a definite must. CLICK HERE for the downloadable, direct-feed footage.

• AMN also met up with NOA's Reggie Fils-Aime on the showfloor asking questions about Revolution and the "Game Boy Next" at E3. Check out the report inside.
