The word has slipped from Monolithic Systems that the Nintendo Revolution is slated to launch mid 2006.  Monolithic systems is a company providing RAM chips to go along with NEC’s memory for the Revolution.  The word slipped durring an earnings conference for the company.  There isn’t much known about the Revolution since Nintendo has been keeping all information locked in Mario’s basement along with the Virtual Boy.  All we really know is that ATI and IBM will be providing key hardware and that it will be backwards compatible with the Gamecube (Does anyone still play Gamecube?)  More information will be released at E3 next week for sure because Nintendo has finally stated that they will be discussing the Revolution there.
