  1. This is the most annoying post ever. I've never heard news like this, and not had access to screens or information. I hate IGN insider too. Why the hell has no-one on these boards got it? I may cancel my whole evening's plans just 2 c if this is true. Graphics may not be the main part of Revolution. but i still wanna see some games. Why the hell isn't this on the net?

    WHY WHY WHY??? Someone find something quick!


  2. This is going to be an interesting one. will you have to move the controller like the skateboard? i reckon it'll us the nun-chuck attachment, and you'll use the A, B, Z1, and Z2 for different types of tricks, combined with controller movements.


  3. I looking forward to anything and everything. I'm trying not to speculate too much, but I'd love if Revolution was the main talking point of the show. Can't wait to see both Nintendo and Sony's pressconferences. Hopefully this year, Sony's will be shorter and Nintendo's more full.


  4. My dad saw this. He was telling me about it in the car. He sounded pretty impressed though, and as he's a non-gamer, that's a good sign. Did the Gadget show really say that the DS was too Gimmicky? I think they obviously learned from their bad judgement and had some proper comments for the Revolution.


  5. That's the most realistic yet. I can't confirm nor deny that as truth. Let's just wait and see. If we're lucky, Iwata will show tell us the name today. The thing that makes it slightly convincing for me, is the quality of the image, plus, the japanese writing. The main question for me is, do I like the name Nintendo GO?

     

    [Edit]

     

    The font which the word "GO" is written in is downloadable from the net, so it's most likely fake.


  6. I can't believe there are so many people out there who didn't like Full Spectrum Warrior. Nintendork, if you only played it for an hour, then all you got to play was the tutorial, which in all fairness was annoying. But once that was over, I couldn't stop playing until I'd completed it. Along with Battlefront, this is one of their best games. If you want to pick out a game that was dissappointing, try Destroy all Humans, or Mercenaries. Though, they weren't bad games either, just not as good as FSW. Anyway, I'm glad that there's a possibility of them working on Rev, because I like their games.


  7. Why don't Rare give gamers something they want, like a sequel to Killer Instinct? I mean, I appreciate that they wanna try new stuff, but I think they need to revive some old franchises for the new generation, and Killer Instinct would be perfect. They haven't really impressed me since they made N64 games. I think they've lost their touch when they lost important members of staff. I think it's easy to see why Nintendo weren't too bothered to sell them off.I never thought I'd see Rare do a game that was a tie-in with a kids TV show.


  8. Not really the most exciting news ever, but at least it's nice to see an analyst who doesn't dismiss the Rev. and treat it like it's only a Gamecube 2.

     

    Wedbush Morgan Securities' Michael Pachter recently spoke at the Games Marketing Conference over in San Francisco, stating Nintendo's Revolution will be the second choice system to either the Microsoft XBOX 360 or Sony PlayStation 3. He had the following to say:

     

    “People have written off the Revolution and that’s foolish. Microsoft has one game now: it’s Halo, and everything else sucks. You’re going to see the Revolution as the second console of choice in the household.â€

     

    He also discussed how the XBOX 360 and PS3 will only have some major exclusives, yet the Revolution will have a plentiful supply of them, making it the firm choice for the 'second system' that people seem to buy nowadays. The unique controller will lead to games that simply cannot be recreated on the competitions' platforms.

     

    It certainly sounds like a reasonable assumption, but we shall wait and see the final outcome later this year.

    I think he has a very valid point. I know for a fact that more and more people are getting second consoles. Well, everyone on this board should know that. I bought Gamecube as my first console, then Xbox as my second. When it comes out, Playstation 3 will most likely sell like hot cakes, and Xbox 360 will have been out almost a year. So both of those consoles will have plenty of owners. A year down the line or so, they may want another console. Are they going to go for the expensive system that pretty much does the same as the one they've got, or go for the cheaper system which does something different? At the end of the day, it's just a prediction, so don't take it too seriously. But I think he's got one of the more realistic views of the market for sure.


  9. Hey everyone. My friend recently got and Xbox 360 and bought Dead or Alive 4. Firstly, the original copy we got was scratched, so the Xbox 360 wouldn't read it. Second, when we replaced it, the Xbox 360 could read it, but now when the message "press start" comes up, it won't respond to any buttons. What the hell is going on? Is my friend's Xbox 360 broken? Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on what to do would be ace.


  10. Apart from the new IP, the best bit to read for me was this

    "Nintendo has shared over a thousand Revolution development kits with developers across the world"

    That's what I like to hear. If they've sent out over 1000 dev kits, then there must be loads of games in development. I don't of course know how many kits they send per developer. i suppose it depends on how big a developer they are.

     

    As regards to the new IP, Well I'm thinking it's going to be an existing genre, and it's something that is gong to make hardcore gamers, (especially Nintendoids) go wild. What it is, I wouldn't guess, but I would like an MMORPG or an FPS.


  11. A paint program would be awesome. Creating digital paintings with the revmote would be so easy. You could hold it like a paintbrush and literally paint onto a digital canvas. better yet, why not mkae a 3D image by simply moving the controller around. or, how about the ability to move the controller around an object and make it in 3D on the screen. due to the freehand controller's spacial awareness, it could be possible to get an attachment that acts like a digital pen. press the pointer on different parts of the object and watch it appear in 3D space on your TV. I reckon this could be achieved. It would be excellent for putting your face in a game, or putting in your favorite object. The only problem I can think of is colouring it. Well it's just an idea. There's so much cool stuff Nintendo could do.

    The google earth idea is good, but what's the point if you already have google earth on your PC? it should have some kind of feature that makes it different enough to have.

    Nintendo could really expand the market here. Games could be seen as more than just messing around, and finally as an art form.
