Hal_9Million Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Remember how Tetris came free with every Gameboy? Wario Ware could come free with the Revolution. Tetris practically sold the Gameboy, and Wario Ware could do the same for Revolution. It's the perfect game to use the features, and it would appeal to everyone. I think that by packaging a game free with every console, it would be very good for newcomers who don't know what games to buy. Just a thought really. It doesn't have to be Wario Ware, but that game is a perfect example.
Mimternet Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I don't think so as Revolution will be cheap anyway and you could probably buy a Revolution, game and extra controller for the same price as a PS3. Nintendo need to make moola quickly. As long as the launch line up is strong and the big name games are there, that's all Revolution needs.
Retro_Link Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Maybe not the whole game, but Nintendo could have some Rev game demos ready for download or something.
Shaze_Nab Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think A demo disk, would be more reasnable than Wario ware.
BGS Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 That really isn't going to happen. I can see a demo disk being possible though and a couple of free classic game downloads.
RATM_4_EVA Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 yeah i dont see a profitable game like that given away but a demo is very likey :doh:
flameboy Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think it should come free with it. It would one of the only recognizeable games that could fully show off all the abilities of the controller. Whether a full game would be given away or not is another question, I think demo versions are much more likely, either packaged with the machine, or available to download (as way of encouraging wifi use) is much more likely! PS hi to everyone, I was a regular member on the cube-europe boards once upon a time,but I havnt had much time! hopefully the revolution will spur me on to start posting again!
Konfucius Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think you can't really compare Wario Ware to Tetris. Some of my mates who are also gamer don't really like Wario Ware, surely there are also Tetris haters but a compilation of minigames doesn't sound as good as a puzzler everyone praises. A demo disk would be the best thing I think, so everyone can find out what will appeal to him. And if Zelda TP had some graphical enhancements when played on the Revo, they could sell it 50% off if it's bought together with a Revolution. Probably would help to sell more Zelda games and Revos.
Bowser57 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 It wouldn't be "free" they'd just factor it into the price.
Ninty 182 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 PS hi to everyone, I was a regular member on the cube-europe boards once upon a time,but I havnt had much time! hopefully the revolution will spur me on to start posting again! Wlecome back :bow:
daftada Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 If any game could raise interest amongst non-gamers then it has to be Wario Ware. Although a compilation of the best boards and mini-games of the Mario Party series wouldalso get my vote.
Flame Alchemist Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 i think a demo disc will be the best thing to release with the Revo...
GoonFace Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 No company would give away a free game now. Games were given away with some consoles back in the good old days because there were no such things as demo disks. There are now, so no need for free games.
Hellfire Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I think Revo should come with some tech demos like the ones shown on E3, but more polished. That would rock.
Wesley Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Giving it away free would be a great idea. It would make every Revolution owner realise the potential of the controller and help them understand it more. Also when this happens, you know that developers will be more willing to embrace new controller and make a game based on it.

I think you'll find that's false information you have there. The Amiga was the first console I ever owned, and almost every issue of Games Master had demo discs for the console slapped on the front. In fact the vast majority of games I had on the console were in fact demos.

Sooj Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Free Downloadable demos is the way to go here. Giving away free games isn't all that smart.
Tphi Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I reckon it'll definately come with a demo disc. Lots of little minigames, a little like what we saw in the trailer. But Wario Ware will remain a purchaseable-only game I reckon.

But Wario Ware will remain a purchaseable-only game I reckon. This would be the best way to do it IMO. Simple small games. Somthing to do if you can't aford a full game.
Babel Fish Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I like the idea of getting demos that show of the features of the console and Wario World would be a good tool to show these, I would have thought a Wario World Demo might be made like was given away with the Star Catalogue NDS, A familiar face to showcase the demos. Let people buy the full version, just give away enough to show of the controller. I also think that downloadable demos would be a good idea from the start, It would get people to start using the service and new ideas could even be tested on customers before be implemented into full games later on.
Kurtle Squad Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Dude, we're talking about Ware WARE!!
