Posted December 16, 2005 http://www.revolutionreport.com/index.php?act=articles&code=read&id=227 In a recent interview conducted by Japenese publication Famitsu, Metal Gear Creator Hideo Kojima discussed a few ideas concerning his in-development Revolution game as well as the console's appeal to a wider demographic. During the interview, Kojima expressed his intent on producing games that can be considered stylish and artistic in nature; a goal he considers best accomplished on the Nintendo Revolution. Kojima mentioned that he wants to make games outside of his multi-million dollar franchise Metal Gear and that with Revolution, he can create games "based on life, [or] something organic." He did not further elaborate on his comment. On a final note, Kojima pointed out that some aspect of the Revolution will make it "popular with girls" without providing explicit details. Revolution Report will have more enigmatic statements from Hideo Kojima as they become available. Remember on Dec.2 in Japan Miyamoto teased Kojima about him wanting to make a game that would be popular with the girls. http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/shiggy/index.php “What about you?†Hamamura-san asks, turning to Kojima-kantoku. “He’d like to design a game that makes him popular with girls,†Miyamoto quips. Cracking up, Kojima says, “I haven’t decided.†“That was a joke,†Miyamoto says. “What would you really like to design?†Kojima says something about using analog. “I can’t really say,†he adds, still laughing.

Posted December 16, 2005 "some aspect of the Revolution will make it "popular with girls"" I guess it has something to do with the controller I recently read that about 50% of all DS owners are females (don't know if it was in America or Japan) but the point is that the system is attractive because of new types of games and maybe with simulations like cooking or making music (examples taken from the TGS video) it could be possible to attract them to the Revo too.

Posted December 16, 2005 well ofcourse, its a vibrating dildo ¬_¬ all women use dildos Yeah right, not all of them do. Anyway, I think it might attract more females just because it looks a lot less intimidating than those controllers you have these days with just hundreds of different buttons. That's why the DS works so well, it's easy to just pick up and start playing, without having to spend ages to figure out what button does what. It works a lot more natural to be touching a screen or to be waving a remote around I guess. Now I'm curious what kind of games they'd be making that are aimed at girls though.

Posted December 16, 2005 I think the software library will be key to attracting girls. All the violent, male dominated, overly complex games around aren't great for encouraging most girls, or indeed anyone who doesn't already regulary play video games into the industry. With the Revos brand controller, Nintendo can clear the way for new simplier control schemes which should go well with Nintendos own brand of fun, accessable family entertainment.

Posted December 16, 2005 I always thought this was quite funny, one of my friends who is a girl just wouldn't play any games purely because the controller looked scary. I don't understand how anyone could be intimidated by it and women are meant to be good multi-taskers anyway so should be able to handle a few buttons with ease. Oh well, now the Revo controller will stop them from being scared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Well, I am a girl, and I don´t have a problem with existing games. I don´t see, how games could be made to be more "attractive" to women. By the way, I AM attracted to the Revolution controller, but so most of us in these boards are, I guess, and that does not depend on our genders By the way, excuse by bad English, I am from Germany. And yes, I am new :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2005 what about pikmin? that was a game that most girls liked. all the girls i know love the mario party games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Pikmin was to complicated for most girls. But i can se it working on Revolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 I beg to differ I hugely enjoyed Pikmin 1 + 2, and I think Mario Party games are nice just for about two to three sessions, then they get really boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 16, 2005 What is it what most girls are for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Yeah right, not all of them do. imagine the other attachments for the controller, doesnt it make u wet with excitement! ok on a serious not, its the simplicity and the games like the sims or similar ones that would be easier to use with the controller. also the fact its a remote and everyones used a remote atracts female gamers, and there are more male gamers then female gamers etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 16, 2005 Attachements made of plastic won´t get me excited in that way, that´s for sure I think that Nintendo should not bother to develop games just for girls. I think games should have a broad appeal. Most games are bought by or for guys, so it would be illogical to develop games this part of the players are not interested in.
