I've seen worse...

Well I think the Revolution is going to pull an even bigger DS on us! And while m$ tries to keep up with sony by flashing the cash around, nintendo will easily capture a lot of new ground with the casual gamers, which will ultimately be a lot more profitable than the hardcore gamers. There are a lot more potential "non gamers who'd like a brain training game or a learn-to-speak-english-game" than "hard core attic gamer nerds who crave for the newest halo". No offence meant, halo is great, but I think you know what I'm trying to say here. If there's one company going for the mass market, it sure is nintendo this time round. There's a big buck to be made with the new and untapped female and adult gamer market. By the way, the problem with microsoft is that they want a place in the industry by throwing money around, whereas imo sony an nintendo put just that little bit more effort into bringing actual quality software to their consoles to justify the buck spent. The only microsoft franchises worth mentioning imo are halo and fable. The rest is either third party or a combo of marketed money and hype. I think the reason microsoft is putting off all those japanese people is because of their upfront money mtv attitude. They're just licking butt too much. It's embarassingly obvious. I liked some of the xbox software but now with the 360 they've just gone too family happy happy greedy for me. Just look at their software launch lineup. 90% of it is rehashed bull with a couple of better shaved balls. You can see the money drool all over their faces when they're talking about how they are "driving the industry forward" bwahaha! Come on, surely even they must know what a load of crap they're saying by using the word innovation. Expantion would be a better word for microsoft, just look at how good they're expanding x-live. But hey, don't get me wrong, I'll probably buy a 360 when the price is like HALF!!! and fable 2's out.

Darkcloud, you need to download ultramon! It adds a taskbar on your other screen so you can minimalise stuff on both screens. As for the opening on the same monitor issue, I find that when I drag it enough to the screen I want to, it kinda learns to stay there and thus open there next time.

Hey guys, I've noticed that the fight night 3 demo moves slower than the vidz they have of it at ign for example. Could it be because we're playing an ntsc demo on pal 360's and tv's? I'm playing it on a 100hz tv so it should play 60hz. Or do I need an RGB cable or such to speed it up? I'm puzzled by it.

BassCadet, you're right about the docu, it's a bit negative, I hadn't watched the whole thing when I posted. But it still provided me interesting tidbits about Ninty that I didn't know. Oh, and about your comment: Amaaaaaai nie!!! Ik doe altijd mijn best om mensen te overtuigen ma ze blijven ma sony en xbox bitches! Oh and if you've got mariokart DS add me!

Haha, nice one! :p

Hi all! Check out this nice find from a forum poster at ign: article/source the documentary Pretty neat stuff eh! The way myamoto was actually such a sweet designer nerd who totally got exploited by Yamauchi in his love hotel

Kudos to those fast Ign forum dudes for this find! http://joystiq.com/2006/01/06/revolution-controller-inspires-3rd-party-ps2-controller/ It surely doesn't have the amazing functionality of the rev controller, but still, this just goes to show that even third parties acknowledge that Nintendo REALLY is the world's best innovator in videogames. BTW: Check out the one hour Nintendo documentary in the retro gaming board!

So, any new news as to why the forums are so slow? What did the e-mail say ashley?

ThePigMarcher, I think the "post e3 time to raise awareness and expectations a bit more" is gonna go all "Pre e3" on us this time around. I've never before (i'm 24) seen a console get this much hype before release, so I think the attention's pretty much there already. Combine Virtual console, Zelda Twilight compatibility, a new franchise, Mario and Smash Bros launch titles together, and this could be a master stroke for nintendo.

You took the words out of my mouth. I got heart broke quite a couple times, so I'm not gonna commit myself again unless it's for real. BUT, if it's fun and polite, I'm all in for a shag buddy.

I don't know what to make of it. You really think nintendo would allow an unofficial UK magazine to be the first to break this big news? I bought NGC for years until I finally realised the internet was much quicker with the news, so what gives?

Third? What's the second revolutionary aspect then? Virtual console?

DukkaDukka, judging by your initial post, I can confidently say you and I have the same wickedely good movie tastes! :p So looking at my dvd collection, I've put together this movie list for you. There are certainly loads more movies worth mentioning, but I just based myself on what I personally have in stock at the moment. Intense: Solaris (Totally knocked my socks off with its gripping soundtrack) Das Boot (We saw this one 3 times in film school, nuff said) Hotel Rwanda (Should have gotten at least 1 oscar for best actor) The Crow (Completely justified revenge film, Brandon Lee died while making the film) Apocalypse Now Redux (Insane war reality, watch the soldiers eyes, so loaded up on acid) Leaving Las Vegas (Nicolas Cage's best role) Aaah, life is sweet: La Meglio Gioventu (Italy roars for 6 hours straight! Truly a must see!!!) Bin Jip (Silent love poem) Whale Rider (Beatiful Australian Maori tribe film) Sideways (Funny, down to earth midlife film) Before Sunset (Beautifull nostalgia, one of my fave romances) Billy Elliot (Aah, dancing billy ) High Fidelity (This is THE guy film!)

I totally agree! Yet I doubt Nintendo would ever let leak a picture of metroid.

Yeah, the main event will probably be a new zelda trailer. Animal crossing perhaps. Are we talking about the G.A.M.E. conference in the states here? Or is myamoto appearing in japan?

What would it be? A spaceship shooter?

I'm thinking they'll have a sort of 360 list of online demo's/videos to choose from.

Nooooo!!! Wait for animal crossing DS !!!

Yes! This was exactly what I was looking for, thanx Britprog!

I totally agree.

Umm, give us something we DON'T know already?

Mmm, you think? I thought I heard I don't know how long ago that gamecube finally started losing money when they entered the realm of deals like the 99 a set. I don't think nintendo still makes a profit for a console that costs 99-60(game) = 40€

Yeah, sorry if it may be misleading, but the hint, how small may be, is seeing myamoto and his translator moving their hands and twinkling their eyes :p, and thus can't be translated into text.
