Link, thats a fair point! I dont know what the technicalities of it all but yeah, wouldnt that be great? Because the old skool games (Im talking 2D ones here, not all the 3D ones from N64 we'll be getting) are great for on the go... Im suprised no ones seen this as the way for GoldenEye to be on DS but Ill be happy enough if its up for download and online play on Revolution.

So connectivity, a quick thought I just had. I was showing this guy I know the pics of the controller (I linked him to revo-europe ) and I was just thinking over the video again of people using it. I thought of Zelda, swinging a sword, throwing boomerang... I thought of tennis games... one just came to me, footy? Throw ins and throwing the ball as the keeper? And I had this other idea. Pokemon. Yeah typical Nintendo dweeb, loving his cute wittle cuddly Pokemon. Well I thought of petting your 'mon? Then thought it wouldnt be that great, even though Fiercy said it was like turning your tv into a touch screen, its just not. Then I thought throwing a Pokeball to catch something! Its like the cartoon! And you could use it to point the Pokemon out into battle just like Ash does! Ok, admittedly Im getting carried away but come on, your getting to be IN the game like never before. Any game. Take your pick and you can think of things that you've always wanted to do instead of just pressing the button. This lead me to the thought I was going to put here. I cant really think of how it would work but just imagine the level of connectivity we now can have? DS is all touchy feely, Revolution is gonna be like a darned gym session so imagine how these two can be combined... I can barely fathom it but Ill be back with any thoughts.

Sorry guys, Im not a huge Metroid fan! Fusions my favourite but thats not really saying a great deal cos I love many a game more than I do it. Hearing you talk of Prime almost makes me wanna go back and play it and see what Ive missed - see if I can discover the joy you find in it. But I know I wont. I got to Meta Ridley and wasnt enthralled. I thought Phendrana was the best locale but it still wasnt great...

Yeah the boards are extremely bare, it wouldnt be the same without Tales of Symphonia and Skies of Arcadia floating around on the first page. Good thinking Stocka, makes the place feel a bit more homely! Skies is a great game. The graphics arent up to date but come on, graphics dont make a game and in this game its all about the story and the great feelings of pride and accomplishment you get throughout it!

My first post on the new look Revolution-Europe, starting afresh with Nintendo and the site. Its really a nice step! Fierce_LiNk, I see where your coming from, the DS has given us a taste of what Nintendo are attempting to achieve. They have given us some truly groundbreaking portable gameplay (and we in Europe, nevermind the world are yet to get the best from the DS. Weve not got games like Advance Wars or Nintedogs yet which are top notch titles yet theres still so much more to come from the DS apart from the looming Mario Kart and Animal Crossing) but now Nintendo are expanding upon this and giving us a more elaborate set up for our living rooms (in my case, bedroom - still only a poor student!). I havent had the chance to watch the videos yet but the news and photos have me very intrigued. I came online this morning to check my gmail and I came over here very briefly to find the new site and the Revolution news. Its wonderful, I cant get my head around it... the possibilities are really endless! I feel like I did when I first got my old Gameboy and Tetris way back when... its a new chapter that is unfolding before our very eyes. Call me a fanboy and all but if gaming hadnt already got stale... it definitly would be next gen if Nintendo had just gone down the path of upgrading the GameCube. For me gaming isnt stale at this very moment, but I dont play my Cube like I did the N64 or Snes... this can be put down to growing up... but it can also be put down to games having a huge element of been there and done that in them now. Ive had no desire to really play games as crazily as I used to... the ever talked about "jump to 3D" was new and exciting on the N64. Nintendo created 3D games with all the charm and love that they had their 2D ones... theyve continued to do this on GameCube, Im not faulting them but this Gen has just been about consolidating the 3D gameplay. Because didnt we have a thread before Fierce_LiNk where we talked about how the new aspects of the GameCube controller havent been put to use to make the games different and new? Im getting a Revolution. I would anyway, I wont pretend I wasnt already getting whatever Nintendo put out to us... but yes, this is new. This is exciting. This will put the fun back into gaming and will rekindle my desire to sit and play and play into the night. DS was already starting to revive this spirit in me... but Revolution? It cant be worded, I just keep remembering playing F-Zero on the Snes for the first time, rushing home to play Mario 64 and play the Battle of Hoth in Shadows of the Empire and then rushing home a few years later from school to play Luigi's Mansion. This is what Nintendo's all about. Standing and being true, fighting the good fight.
