At last week's GDC, Nintendo's booth commanded a significant percentage of the show floor. As one of the largest booths at the show, Nintendo had plenty of room for the faithful to converge and lust, as a group, over their newest creations. Namely the DS Lite and the Revolution.
In the above shot, flanked by two flat panel video screens, was the Revolution. See that glow radiating from below? Yup, that's it. There was a steady stream of curious pilgrims waiting to get a first hand look at it.
The video screens showed a subtitled video of Sir Shiggy talking about Nintendo and delivering a message to developers, amongst other things.
The left side of the booth had a 7' tall Revmote and accompanying revolution. Yeah, I touched it.
On the right: this dude thinks I'm snapping a shot of his perfect hair. Hey, buddy, I'm trying to get a look at these sweet panorama of NiWiFi titles behind you, so clear the way.
The rear: Some Nintendo booth-babes stealing a minute to themselves. From my short time on the show floor during the last day of the expo, I can attest that the attractive young ladies manning many of the booths did not find the attention of the predominantly male population flattering. Probably cause we were all taking pictures and stuff...
Nintendo provided a very popular laptop refueling station for the power-hungry mobile professionals that swarm these sorts of things. The lines here nearly exceeded the lines for the DS Lite.
The DS Lites were arranged 4 to a table, the better to Wi-Fi with. After what I can only assume had been hundreds of handlings, the units I encountered looked as shiny as I could imagine a new one would.
Another DS Lite table. There might be a shortage in Japan, but there wasn't one at GDC. These things were everywhere!
A totally awesome Metroid Prime: Hunters kiosk. They should stick these things in game stores. People gathered around to watch the show.
