Yeah that's actually a good point, it's propaganda.. show them some gloss and they'll buy a Revolution. Resulting in more friends to play with. Most of my crew are buying a Revolution anyway, but it's good to have some propaganda to welcome others into the cult of Nintendo.

I'll laugh so hard if you can do your own custom celebrations in real time with your golf club.. I would be all like 'da da da ta da ta dum de daaarr!' swinging it around like Cloud Strife. Booyeah.

Give it to a freaking hospital, they need it more than you need £5. Think of the hours of fun it would provide sick kids. I know I said in a previous post I was going to burn mine for a blog post but.. meh, I'll give it to the paediatrics ward at my local hospital.

There are some things best left for real life.

I don't believe a word of that. Golf is golf, end of the day online play would be very nice.. but I've played Links and Tiger Woods on 'live' and it's nothing to get excited about. If anything by concentrating on the single player they're doing any golf game fan (in the minority i'd expect) a favour. Financially I don't think the market is there to warrant a fully fledged WiFi service. Downloadable content? Meh.. this is a highly over-rated feature.. for example Oblivion had those horses that cost a few quid last week, or horse armour or whatever. Load of bolox. If you get new courses, then fair enough but they shouldn't need to cut corners and offer downloadable content just because they haven't finished the game (rushed for launch perhaps). Most certainly they can't consider charging for this content. Not an inspiring move Tecmo, I admire your honesty though.

Gyroscopic technology is definitely possible.. wireless equipment is becoming less and less energy consumptive every day. They do it in Seiko and Swatch watches, which are significantly less power hungry than a force feedback motor. I'd agree, a built in dynamo is possible.. it could possible lower charge cycles by huge amounts of time.

Yeah, thing is.. this nunchuka has 2 buttons, and one analog stick with no click function (judging Nintendo's history and design principle). Let us presume that the chipset and any gadgetry is in the little box that clips into the FHC port. With a battery, chipsets and wireless equpiment in the FHC it's going to feel incredibly unbalanced. Which leads me to the conclusion that something must be added to the nunchuka to weigh it down.. and if we're going to weigh it down it might as well be functional. Add an extra dimension with an extra gyro-whatever-majiga

Not thread worthy, of course this guy is going to hype up his own magazine. He works for it.

I vote yes. Otherwise the thing would be light, plasticy and break.

Yup, I used to be a medic, it's a great shame but because Medicine has become such a highly paid job- competition has grown. Medical schools find it difficult to discriminate between the best and the most able. There are a lot of nerds who are going into med school solely because they are good at science, they have shit communication skills.. they have little to no experience at team work and as pointed out here. Probably had poor hand eye co-ordination. Nerds don't do sports, nerds do books. Nerds don't make good doctors. It seems that a gamer would make a good surgeon.. but the chances of the NHS taking this into consideration? Slim and none. You need a lot of balls to be a surgeon.

`if you find something you enjoy you will never work a day in your life. i am studying science, it's boring but rewarding. i want to be a photographer, i enjoy that- so that is what i am trying to do right now.

I boycotted them after that sacking 200 staff/pay rise for Tiger Woods thing. Doesn't bother me really.. I only really liked SSX and Burnout. Both series' as pointed out have become somewhat dated and repetitive.

Google: Results 1 - 8 of about 13 for elebits. (0.08 seconds) No definition, top link goes to Elephant research.. the rest is all random crap and names. Same applies to the singular.

Is Kojima working freelance? or is Konami still involved in his Revolution project? I understand he was or will be working with grasshopper or something? I imagine he is ready to let the MGS team fly solo and finish them game and he can spend his time on this project. So the timing seems logical. I guess my eyes will be on the Konami stage for the first time ever this E3.

They also mentioned a bunch of other shit that was already rumbling- Monkey Ball, SpongeBob, Yoot Sait, Castlevania..and basically everyone going "when the time has come" All sounds pretty poor to me, but I'll still give them the time of day when they're talking about it at E3.

Table Tennis is more of a mini game for me, not even worth the £30 it costs on the 360.

The mindset of an average gaming consumer 1. Do I need it? [yes?] go to point 2. [no?] spend your money on pogs. 2. Can I afford it? [yes?] Buy console of choice [no?] go to point 3. 3. Are there games you like on Revolution? [yes?] Buy one then [no?] spend your money on pogs. Games decide first console of choice. Price decides second console of choice. Nintendo wins here.

I think Microsoft has that 'when' factor pretty well secured in the minds of the next generation. Most of the kids in schools are one Windaz.. and I think it's going to follow a natural progression- it's what we learnt in school it's what we'll get. This may seem bizare to us technophiles but average joe doesn't know how to work a pooter.. many kids don't have the net or even a PC. They'll learn at school- and their first interaction will be 100% windows orientated. This will be daunting at best, and I doubt many will want to touch other systems when they grow up. It's a shame but Microsoft has invested in our children, and will cash in $$$ in 10 years.

Apple's ram order is irrelevant because the iPod nano is far simpler. They didn't really order it.. they bought a third of Samsung who make the memory and got a pretty good deal. I think it was about 2 months before we heard about the order.

21st, good point. We heard in early January that Revolution had gone 'gold' and that they were starting production. Manafacture of consoles can be totally modular, if there were more piece of kit ordered though I imagine we would have heard about them. Like when Apple randomly ordered billions of dollars worth of ram for the iPod nano.

Apparently even 3mb is a lot of the 1T-SRAM, Ars technica said that is sufficient because it has such a ridiculously good load speed. I know bugger all about this techy bolox.

The more characters they add, the harder it will be to balance them all equally against each other. I think to make it a balanced fighter less characters can be a good thing sometimes. The main selling point of the game is the variety.. but I don't think overkill is the answer just because it's a new platform.

We all learnt in school that analysing poetry and quotes and shit has no 'right answer' and it's all just bolox. Various people was meant to be referring to various people in Nintendo. I stand by my point, that analysing quotes for subliminal messages and hints as to what the Revolution's last secret is even from someone like Miyamoto a bad technique.

DCK if you read what I typed you'd see that I said "there has been no indication at all that they will do otherwise" with regard to not adding Sonic into the game. Which if anything means I am agreeing with your points against Sonic being in the game. [i refrained from harassing you]
