Posted September 16, 2005 If they intend to show the controller and Revo etc in September, when will that be if not at the TGS? We're past the middle of the month now and the hardware is obviously complete, and with everybody expecting tonight to be the big one there is going to be some big questions raised about their priorities afterwards. Just show the freaking thing... And yet, saying that somehow makes me feel like if they do and it's the wrong time, everything will go wrong. I guess I want them to just show it when it's the right time. ~Epiq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2005 This probably isn't the ideal time to make a first post (1:58 AM) but what the heck! I hope against hope that Iwata will show us something of the Revolution controller at TGS, and I can't honestly see any reason for ninty not to show us what they have produced. If it's so revolutionary then surely they will have taken out all the neccesary patents to stop the likes of Sony and Microsoft plagiarising whatever it is that makes the Revo' so special. I will be waiting up as i can't seem to get to sleep, fingers crossed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2005 Keynote begins at 7:00 PST. IGN editors wait. Readers scream for news. Iwata says Nintendo has built a bigger game population in three ways: Famicom Mini (shows commercials). GB Micro. Promises more shipments next week. Then he mentioned it was Mario's Birthday week. Miyamoto stands up. Number three, Iwata says, is Nintendo DS. Iwata mentions "touch generation" games such as Nintendogs and Brain Trainer. Nintendogs has topped one million units shipped in Japan already, according to Iwata. 60% of Nintendogs buyers picked up the game with a DS, according to Club Nintendo statistics.

Posted September 16, 2005 Iwata speaking about Revolution controller Iwata unveils Revolution controller IGN will post high-resolution pictures, hands on impressions, feature breakdowns, roundtables, and more at 7:50 PM -- fewer than 15 minutes. Revolution controller looks like futuristic television remote. Glossy white design. Looks Apple iPod inspired. Controller is held in one hand. Attachments in the other. Attachments connect to the bottom of the controller. Iwata shows analog stick attachment. Thinking about packing Revolution with the main controller and attachment, Iwata says. Controller acts like a mouse in real-space 3D. Pefect for FPS games! Future attachments planned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 16, 2005 How come NOONE commented on it and noone is having a discussion? This is bizarre! *Pssst, see those 3 pages of threads in this particular forum? They've been created and posted in only in the last 24 hours, or so. And if your comment was meant to be a joke, try using a smiley as text doesn't convey meaning too irony/sarcasm very easily.* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 16, 2005 No, I was being serious, I just wondered why this thread in particular - it being the official one and all completely died before it got going!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 17, 2005 I think the topic was too "general", most people wanted to discuss particular aspects and that was more easily done through threads focusing on that point they wanted to talk about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 20, 2005 sorry but am i the only one who see the controller as a wireless lighgun with extra buttons tht if you turn it a bit it does summit? (sorry if this sounds dumb) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 21, 2005 Well, i think this thread has served it's purpose. The main reason i believe this thread didn't get going was because the site got battered with new people registering. In their excitement, they created many new threads and just chose to use them or create their own rather than use existing ones. It's a shame really, but that's the way forums work i guess. I'll be de-stickying this now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
