RATM_4_EVA Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2005/10/14/revolution-in-spring/ IGN -Matt, love the site. I read somewhere that revolution is launcing in spring 2006 in japan! does that mean it will go toe to toe against ps3? Matt responds: I saw that rumor floating around. It's not true. Someone mistakenly reported that Revolution would launch in Japan in the spring of 2006, based on Nintendo's recently released financial reports. However, if you read the financial reports, you'll see that Nintendo only stated Revolution would launch in 2006, period. Sorry kiddies, just another one of thoes rumors ...Crap! oh well these things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hmmm, interesting! It's a little close to Twilight Princess though eh? We know that's a spring release too! I still say they should bundle the Rev with Twilight Princess (still as a cube game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer kirby Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I'm not expecting Revolution untill March 2007. if nintendo release the revolution in 2007 they would have no chance in hell of winning the next-gen console wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 That is a terrible idea. I'm not expecting Revolution untill March 2007. You are joking?! :p No, the Revolution HAS to be released next year, everywhere! Nintendo hopefully will not make the same mistakes as they did with the CUBE. Spring 2006?? Bloody great if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 2007 is a bit to far,im expectin it in EU between may-sept 06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Some days ago they stated that they will offer Nintendo products in Turkey (source: gamefront.de) and that the Revo will be released there in 2006 too so I suppose this will be the same date as the EU release. I suspected a spring 2006 release for the Revo in Japan but it's good to know that it's almost official now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestneb Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I expect late spring tbh. May is probably a good time, as in low demand, where as at launch there's huge demand. so the launch would counter the low demand, = resonable demand. really they don't want to fail to meet demand with a next gen console out already (unless the 360 flops big time) because obv. ppl go with cash to buy a next gen console, if its not available they're likely to buy a rival console.

McMad Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I wouldn't be expecting the revolution to be out any time before E3 2006. Probably August for Japan. Late 2006 for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyDluffy Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 even though i wouldn't like to think 2007, I could see the rev going the same way as the DS, but an earlier japan launch, US christmas, europe march 07. We can only hope its more like mario kart release dates and not animal crossing release dates. EDIT: I think it depends what they mean by spring, is that Q1(jan-Mar) or Q2(Apr-June), cause that leaves Q3(july-sept) for US and Q4(Oct-Dec) for europe, which would work out nicely if you ask me, but nintendo europe have always had a funny way with working out release dates, look at the DS drought over Q3 then meteos, nintendogs, fifa, castlevania, advance wars all within a couple of weeks, who knows how they worked that out????? EDIT2: Was read the ign mailbag and the spring 2006 thing is bull apparently, the report just says 2006, not spring 2006 sorry guys another rumor!

mario114 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 A spring launch would be great they could even do a zelda bundle, get tp and down-load some other zeldas ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system_error Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Iwata (or maybe Aonuma/Miyamoto) said that Zelda: The Twilight Princess will not launch before April 2006 but also said it will launch a couple of months before Revolution. So if April 2006 is the earliest date for Zelda the Revolution won't launch in spring but more likely in summer/autumn '06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 That's very, very good news. I was expecting Japan late summer as earliest. This is going to get them into very good competition with the Playstation 3, especially if it's going to cost half of what the PS3 does. This makes me absolutely confident the Revolution will get launched in Europe next year. We still have to wait for an announcement by Nintendo though, although the plans sound really promising.

demonmike04 Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I would be very suprised if it did. theres 5 months until the end of spring 2006, 5 months to win over alot of new/current/old gamers as possible and to give more information about revo. And this has to be before the end of spring if that article is true, so E3 would be out of the question, because that is apparently too late for the predicted.

So if April 2006 is the earliest date for Zelda the Revolution won't launch in spring but more likely in summer/autumn '06. Wait, that doesnt make much sense, because Twilight princess is slated at Q1 2006, but if what your saying is true, it wont be out Q1 but Q2. Hmm, when was this said? Must of been recent if true..

Retro_Link Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think a May/Summer launch is heavily needed for the Rev!! Mind you; E3 isn't until the end of May and it isn't going to launch before then!! Nintendo had better be careful; with Zelda:TTP out in March/April, and that being pretty much the gamecubes last game, what are Nintendo expecting everyone to do for new console games between March and who knows when (what could be over 6 months)!!! Surely the gap between two consoles should be as short as possible, but i don't see that happening! (also; I think Zelda:TTP is due out in March isn't it?)

jakeee Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think it would be great if Revo would come out in Europe just before June. Because I'd like to buy a DS during my summer vacation and there might be a price drop before Christmas so it would be a great buy at the end of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YenRug Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Nintendo have said Zelda:TP will NOT be released before the end of the current fiscal year, which is 31st March 2006. That means that April will be the very earliest that the game comes out, so as it stands we do not know when the game will be released in any reliable fashion.

DCK Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Revolution is now confirmed Q3 (or Q4, but let's be positive here) for the USA so that offers a good chance for a competitive launch in Japan and 2006 in Europe. Good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Wow, zelda's been delayed pretty far back then. And DCK, it could also be bad news, because europe most likely wont get it til 2007 because of PAL encoding, but hopefuly they'l take on microsofts idea but only do it when they are fully ready and launch em all within the same time frame.

monkeyDluffy Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I wouldn't hold ya breath, cause nintendo have always had a "we'll do it when we're ready" attitude, so it looks like 2007 for europe. oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1upking Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 I don't mind waiting. I'm confident that the Revo will be the dogs dangly bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 If it really turns out that the REV wont be released in europe before early 07, then im just glad that I can afford the xbox360.. phew.. 2006 is going to be at very long year for the little nintendo fanboy inside me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The Rev won't be delayed to 2007 for no reason. If Microsoft can launch a console all over the world at about the same time when there weren't even proper devkits 5 months before, then Nintendo can certainly launch the Revolution everywhere in 2006 if they want to.
