More than two years after announcing they were working together, Nintendo Co. and Silicon Graphics Inc. took the wraps off the new video game system they created.
The system, to be called Ultra 64, will go on sale in April for about $250. The companies displayed it Friday for the first time at Shoshinkai, a trade show Nintendo sponsors in Makuhari, Japan.
Unlike other advanced game machines, Nintendo's new system will continue to rely on plug-in cartridges rather than compact discs.
