Revolution at the TGS

First it was spong, then gamecube cafe, aussie-nintendo, cvg and softpedia announced a controller appearance at the TGS. But it wasn't until I came across the update IGN FAQ that had me convinced. IGN's updated revolution FAQ, has some news on the TGS in page 3 (wasn't easy to spot):

Q: When will Nintendo reveal more about Revolution?

A: At the Tokyo Game Show 2005. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata will talk about Revolution in his keynote speech. Nintendo fans must not miss this event for it is here that Iwata is expected to unveil the Revolution's mysterious controller. The keynote will take place in mid-September and IGN will be on hand with details and photos.

Also new on the IGN FAQ, they are speculating the Revolution to cost under $200 (US) at release! That is quite amazing, as I don't recall a home console ever coming close to that price at release.

Q: How much will Revolution cost?

A:: An exact price is unknown. But Nintendo is aggressively seeking to deliver a small, quiet and affordable console. It seems likely that the unit will debut at the sub-$200 mark and possibly cheaper if all goes as planned.

If this news is true (and IGN usually are), many people who usually don't have the money for console games will be able to purchase a Revolution. Also, others who are buying a 360 or a PS3 may have money left over. Perhaps the price will be revealed during Iwata's TGS speech. Or we'll see some in game footage, or the secret behind the Revolutionary controller. either way, be sure not to miss it. There is a timer at the top of falefakid's blog (nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com). for peeps living in Sydney, the 50 minute speech will begin at noon on the 16th.
