Nintendo plans to reveal the Revolution in all it’s glory at a press briefing before next year’s E3.

The Mario factory sent out a “save the date” e-mail this morning saying that in “a mere 165 days to go (give or take)” it will reveal “all the incredible details about Nintendo’s upcoming games and hardware, including our next home console, code-named Revolution.”

I was really hoping it would be more like March, but I can deal with that. I’m hoping that they’re trying to keep the final details under wraps as long as possible and that the console will launch shortly thereafter, but I could probably handle it if it ended up being a little later as long as it’s not too far off.
