Effing Spong writers and your misleading and wholey fan-boy attracting headlines. However, a great showing in-store for us true video game lovers apparently, so this article made me smile. w00t!

Revolution will be at E3 no doubt, if the system is indeed revolutionary then there might be a playable demo or something to illustrate the difference with this machine and its rivals.
I am really excited about this, i just hope i am not let down. Nintendo havent let me down yet (apart from mario kart double dash).
Lets wait and see what they have to offer.

i loved doubel dash... the two player co-op thing is very cool... infact the only problem with it as far as im concerned is the fact that every freakin mario kart game except for the first one has the infernal catchup bull s**t! i can say failry confidently that i am the best mario kart player of my freinds... and whiel i do win a good number of races... more often then not i end up in a painfull 2 or 3 cause soem jerk i he back gets a blue shell and the dics in 2-3 place are going faster than me and eaily over take me when i get nailed with the blue shell of death! I could see implimenting either the weapon distribution rules or the rubberband racing but not both... it makes it to close to be fun sometimes... at least for me, but then im very competitive.

oh, and i cant imagien nintendo to not show revolution in soem form at E3, they wont reveal anywhere near s much as the other two, but they have to keep dangling their hook in the water or else people will start to think the "revolutionary" schtick is just hype for a sub strength next gen console.

We love feedback here at SPOnG, so could you please explain to me what's wrong with the headline?

Other sites have posted this story with headlines along the lines of "No Rev at E3?"

i cant real speak for him but i think i go tthe same impression, it seemed to me that the article was going to verify that the revolution would not be
shown, it did the exact opposite however...

"E3 hardware showing in doubt"
...seems like exactly that.

I don't understand the headline - it doesn't say anywhere in the article of the Revolution not being shown at E3. Why did you question that in the header? I was shocked when I read the headline but after the reading the article, it says the complete opposite - the Rev will be shown at E3.

So what's up with this weird headline title??

Strange that Nintendo would consider pulling it from being on display at E3, especially when it's roughly a month away.

This sound like making a mountainous rumour that we can't find the summit to. It will take time but I think Nintendo will show REv. The stakes are too high to consider pulling out, so I'll grab that pinch of salt once more on this news.

And I like Lupos love a dose of MK Double Dash. It might not be as fast as previous efforts but when you get going having fun you forget all that, well i did anyway. MK is about fun. The blue shells are a nice touch and the dual carts worked well despite my reservations at first. I'll be keep an eye on it especially at E3. Possible eight player wi-fi Mario Grand Prixs are making me mouth water.

Hey Spong, have fun lying? Nintendo has already said there will be NO new Game Boy at E3. And there won't.

And an upgrade to SP, if there is one, does not count. That's just GBA.

Will. Not. Happen.

Glad to hear that feedback is important because that's what makes a great website. However, playing the lesser of the evils doesn't make your headline any more appropriate. Something along the lines of "Revolution at E3" or "Revealed Nintendo E3 showing points" or something along those lines. This paranoia pull is misleading. You don't need to try and get viewers to read your articles, we are coming to the site because of the news, we're a captive audience. Be real and sincere, like you have been (for the most part) in the past.

I read this, and all I got out of it was:

"Nintendo not going to show Revolution at E3! Iwata crazy! Wait...there are no quotes or documents or press releases or...any reason to believe this...in fact, it's just sort of a rumor at maybe one or two hardly known messege boards...um...hey, did you hear about that new Zelda game?"

Can you please show us a link of definative proof to back up said claims. Spong's back up evidence was 'an inside source'. Could be bull s**t, could not be, but it's better than what you've got.

Nintendo has said countless times that E3 will NOT be the big coming out party for Revolution and there will NOT be a new Game Boy at E3, including interviews with IGN.

Look it up if you don't believe me, it's a well known fact in the gaming community. The point is, it's sad that Spong doesn't get this.

I think that the Spong is good on this story.

As for the GBE making an appearence? It's really long overdue for one.. yet part of me wants them to push the GBE into March 2006 and show it off on video at E3.

I would rather they release the budget thin version of the GBA SP with a built in Play Yan device and an OLED screen. Essentially, this device -for less than $100- would be able to play movies, play music, and be the smallest "PVP" handheld out there for now. Not a bad deal, says I. *holds up 1GB SD card* Not at all! Since the GBA SPX would be $99.99 and a 1GB SD Card is as low as.. $70... the GBA SPX does something interesting: It attacks the iPod Shuffle and every single Flash DAP out there, VICTORIOUSLY. I mean, Sony is kidding themselves if they belive the PSP is taking sales away from the iPod or the iPod Mini. The GBA SPX may actually do that. You have brand name recognition, and for $99, if they throw in a 64MB card, they've got wallets. They already have my wallet anyways, I like my 20GB iPod, and I still carry the GBA SP sometimes. I carry it more than I do the PSP or DS because those systems are a bit big.

Personally, I'm still a little sad they rushed out the GBA and didn't give us the thin model GBC. I wanted one.

Man all you do is radiate negative s**t! You just pissed cuz your s**tty little DS site didn't get any of these stories first - so all your site can do is tell us about new box art and rehashed gamestop/eb stories that you picked upon Google news. Your so down with the "gaming community" you write for a s**tty little fan site with crappy stories, whacking off to Third Eye Blind while you think about that Kirby Canvas Curse box art. Yeah you da man. lol.

btw - are the same "zeo" dick that got banned on the power ranger forum? rotflmao

Wow, is this some kind of joke? Or are you really running around shoving doorknobs and broomsticks up your @$$, screaming at people who make valid comments and express their opinions. I get harsh sometimes, but only when a user deserves it, this was uncalled for.
