Revolution

Article : http://games.kikizo.com/news/200501/031.asp

After reaading this, I' m a little bit anxious to what Nintendo has planned. I am a bit of a Nintendo fanboy, but I ahve to say I think they are wrong in there assumption about the complexity of a controller being key. I don' t think they should be concentrating on the grandparents who don' t play games yet by developing a simpler controller, but rather should be doing something to get back the gamers they' ve lost to Sony and Micosoft. I' m keeping my fingers crossed that revolution is going to blow me and the gameing world away, and not be some box that you interact with by tapping two sticks together at different speeds.

I have mixed feelings toward the Revolution. I enjoy videogames as they are and would be fine with a generation of faster, more powerful consoles. At the same time, I' very interested to see what they will come up with, they could create endless possibilities for gameplay expansion, and practically re-invent the way games are played. It is foolish to think that it won' t have standard controllers though. A lot of the money nowadays is in third party titles, and thirdparty developers usually aren' t too keen on being exclusive to one company. If nothing else, the Revolution will have a controller just for the games released on multiple consoles. Besides, there is nothign to say that developers need to use every aspect of the new console. Not every DS game out there takes advantage of all the system has to offer, new games for the home console shouldn' t have to use all the new features either.

Watch this new way of interacting with games be nothing more than the return of the Nintendo POWER GLOVE!!!!!

The power glove lives!!!!

everybody is expecting this console to blow people away, i am not. Was any body blown away by the Gamecube? after all the hype that surrounded it? i am not saying that it wont be good, just dont get your hopes up too high yet. Only 5 mouths to wait untill e3 again! time pass' so quickly,....adam can i have your ticket?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Has gimmick already stamped on it' s surface...For some reason I get a feeling that this is Nintendo grasping at straws.

The Power Glove was Mattel, not Nintendo. I' d rather have a U-Force anyway. Or maybe a power glove and U-Force combined. Either way, both were extremely complex controllers.

When Nintendo talks about the Revolution, they keep saying how it will revolutionize the industry just like the DS has revolutionized portable gaming. OK. The DS is nice, but it is definitely a niche machine. Nothing revolutionary. I' m sure when the Nintendo Revolution is unvieled, people will sit back and wonder " WTF?" If they try to do anything goofy, it will not work in their favor. I' ll wait until it is unvieled to pass final judgment, though.

This could be like the handle on the Gamecube, only on an epic scale. However, after seeing the amount of damage a Gamecube could take on X-Play I have decided that it was placed there to be used as a blunt object. I bet the Gamecube could deal some serious damage to a burglar.

Id on' t know man, I thought similar thoughts before it came out, but sales for this thing have been far to high to call it a niche machine. It' s still always sold out whereever I go.

Yeah, just like most systems at launch. :)

I could lay my hands on an x-box or a gamecube any time after they launched. PS2 and N64 were a different story.

Well hopfully I' m wrong and the DS turns out to be a very popular machine with lots of good games that take advantage of it. I am currently looking forward to Castlevania (more than any other game), Wario Warez, and maybe Yoshi' s Touch and Go. I hate Baby Mario so I may have to pass that one up.

what was with that handle on the gamecube anyway?

why bring your bag when you can bring a gamecube! and dont worry about it getting stolen cos nobosy acctually wants one! [thats untrue, just judeing by the sales figures]

I agree, I thought the handle was stupid at first, but I' ve surprised myself with how often I' ve used it and thought it was pretty handy. And besides, as yoshimitsu said, if a burglar attacked you and you had a choice between gamecube sans handle or gamcube with handle, I know which I' d pick! And of for the record Joe, yes, baby mario does suck.

Ok, here' s some new info on this controller business. Now keep in mind this is only a rumor posted at gamespot, but still interesting none the less. Apparently the new controller will use gyration technology. We can all quit hoping that means it' s shaped like a miniature exotic dancer right now cause it doesn' t. Here' s a link to the original rumor/story: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/01/21/news_6116926.aspx

And here' s a link to the " gyration" developers page:
http://www.gyration.com/ultragt.htm

35% chance of being wrong? This stuff is interesting, but I' m not exactly thrilled by the announcement. First of all, I' m probably not going to buy another Nintendo system for the fact that I' m in too deep with Xbox Live and I don' t play that many games anymore offline. Secondly, this gyration thing once again sounds like some neat little thing that I don' t want a part of. It could be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but I' m going to have to let my sis buy the Nintendo system...I' m sticking with the next Xbox methinks...

The only thing I hope for when this new system comes out is a Mario 64 esque Mario game. I didn' t exactly fall in love with Sunshine because the controls just got too darn annoying.

Mario Sunshine was a horrible, horrible game.

While I agree Mario Sunshine didn' t blow me away, looking back I think it was more because I remembered how awsome Mario 64 was, and my expectations were for it to beat that. The whole water pack thing would' ve been much better as a 2 or 3 level special power. Using it as the main mechanism for the entire game was a mistake. Plus I gotta say, give us back the mishroom kingdom. That whole tropical setting full of animated pears was annoying. I just hope that if this gyration technology rumor is true I don' t have to wiggle the controller to make mario' s ass jiggle around and hit enemies.

Here' s an interesting article compiling a bunch of the rumors about revolution. some of them are interesting, and some seem just downright weird. I love the handmade drawing the one guy made, it has to be the truth if he drew it! Anyways, the most interesting one to me is the fixation point rumor, and exactly how they plan on changing this.

This is going to be a really good E3.

In response to the following complaint I have decided to change my signature:

" by the way, yoshimitsu you might want to click the little checkbox that makes your signature disappear." -Jonah Shoemaker, Residential Dumbass

It' s going to be a friggin AWESOME E3 I think. I' m gonna have to go into hibernation in April and wake up a few days before the show starts just so I' m at 110% and ready to be completey floored..

I' m mostly looking forward to anything on Nintendo' s next console and PSP games.

I love the E3' s that happen about every 5 years when the new systems are unvieled. I' ll be glued to my computer checking for updates non-stop.

While it' s all well and good being revolutionary, if you can' t do what the others can as well Nintento may find their new console being great but too obscure to be successful. It' ll need breathtaking graphics and at least some kind of conventional controller for companies just after multi-format releases. Fingers crossed everything will be greatness however.

I agree with you about the conventions paul. If this thing comes out with a plushy controller that you have to bark into and wiggle to make Mario jump, even i' m not getting one.

Ok, Nintendo released some more info today

When the subject of the Revolution arose, Toyota said, " E3 will be the starting point for the Revolution. [We haven' t decided] whether we will show the real machine, videos, or unveil the concept...We want to receive some level of evaluation, but releasing too much information is also another issue. We don' t have the slightest intention of making a machine that follows the same path as conventional game hardware. Right now, we are thinking of how we can accurately convey to people at E3 the different path that the Revolution will take, and how it will change the way that games will be enjoyed."

Queasy feeling in stomach rising. Doesn' t sound to promising to see the thing at E3 either. This could be the industries biggest gamble ever, I' m just hoping they don' t roll snake eyes.

its gonna be cool.man i cant wait for it to come out

Wow, and I thought last E3 was exciting. My guess is that they' ll only show videos and hint at what the inovation is. This will leave lots of speculation room after E3 to keep excitment going.

this years e3 will be great, but i' d say again it would be at least a week before we get any good info on it. no site seems to do a good job...

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Ummmm, hint to Nintendo...... MAKE IT APPEALING!!!!

Geesh, making statements like that makes them sound as if they' ve already bought their bronze medals.

Nintendo is saying " Hey superfans, the Revolution may not have many games. The console may turn off 3rd party developers. I hope we didn' t screw everything up. Oh well. Buy Revolution!"

what will they think of next....

I WANT TO GO TO E3

" REVOLUTION" ...... I just want to say that Nintendo has let me down starting with the N64, I have all the systems and a huge library of games. But for the first time in my life, I' m starting to have second thoughts for the next generation console, the Revolution.

Xbox 2 and PS3 are POWERFUL systems that seem like they are going to take over the world, Nintendo is always behind in horsepower, but that doesn' t really bother me much, what bothers me is the lack of games, everytime I go to a store, any store, Microsoft and Sony have a massive library of games, and Nintendo is in a little corner with a miniature library! What the hell is going on? Why does Nintendo have bad relationships with 3rd parties and other game developers? Whyyyyyy? They have no more " exclusive" titles anymore. Very dissapointing, makes me sad and angry, all these feelings.....[:' (]

I' m thinking of getting an Xbox2. I just hope that the so called " REVOLUTION" is really a revolution and doesn' t stay that far behind in horsepower. I hope that it won' t be the first time that I don' t buy a Nintendo console. I hope..........[:' (]

According to that steroid moron Reggie Fils-Lame, the Revolution will not be playable at the E3. it may... may be on some sort of display. Gamers will be able to examine the combinaton blow tube/catheter (the Revolution controller) but Reggie said " Me Reggie say that E3 will be mostly about GBA! DS and Gamecube will be there too! Me Reggie pleased!"

I hope Me Reggie is just playing the part of the fool so that a nice surprise can be had by all. I' m not sure if Me Reggie realizes that people arent' going to care much about GBA if xbox 2 and PS3 are sitting just down the hall. Me Reggie better bring something good out of the Nintendo Cave.

I hope you' re right. Reggie (aka Donkey Kong) could be throwing us all a curve ball. Or something like that. Baseball sucks.

well with nintendo' s thing for makin baseball games at the moment, i' m sure reg has had some practice....

This is all very depressing... (only for Nintendo)
