demonmike04 Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 I dont know if any one has mentioned this (search didnt find any thing), but are we going to need the cradle to play SNES and 64 games? Because lack of buttons on the actual revo controller means they have missing buttons. So will the cradle provide us the buttons needed for them? And if it does, will it be a mistake if nintendo didnt include the cradle with the system?
monkeyDluffy Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 i wouldn't be suprised if nintendo release a snes controller shell and an n64 shell ie a shell for each console.
demonmike04 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 i wouldn't be suprised if nintendo release a snes controller shell and an n64 shell ie a shell for each console. If they did that, i'd be suprised, since ive never thought Nintendo as a money grabbing company, we'l just have to wait for when the next details are revealed.. "More suprises are on the way", just one of the sentances i heard about revo that i like to keep in mind
Aimless Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 If they did that, i'd be suprised, since ive never thought Nintendo as a money grabbing company Business is business, whoever you are. See: The SP's headphone jack, NES Classic re-releases. I'm not saying it's bad; games companies have to make money somehow.

"More suprises are on the way", just one of the sentances i heard about revo that i like to keep in mind I didn't mean it to sound like they were money grabbing, just that each console controller was very different and the games for the systems were designed with the controller in mind and therefore it would be best to play the games with the appropriate controller. Plus hori are making money off selling snes layout gamecube controllers so nintnedo should get in on the action.
Athriller Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 If they did that, i'd be suprised, since ive never thought Nintendo as a money grabbing company, we'l just have to wait for when the next details are revealed.. Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro. Mario Brothers 1, Mario Brothers 2, Mario Brothers 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2 and so forth. Not to be patronising or anything, but Nintendo are just as greedy as everyone else. Granted, they maintain a level of quality which many companies lack. But then again, I throw Mario Party 3-7 in your face! Who knows what Nintendo will do, I'm hoping they'll give us some fair share of loving in a one size fits all deal.
demonmike04 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Ah no you didnt get what i meant, the only thing i found out of all your points were the SP head phone jack and the lack of updates between mario party games (well some of them). I meant it as in they were seperately selling something that most probably will be needed straight away. The gameboy series picked up on mistakes, the SP, was the back light, the micro is focused on getting the gaming population higher and enticing new gamers.
demonmike04 Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Gotta Buy 'em All. Add 'em On! lmao, im suspecting add ons have more different types than pokemon does?
ViPeR Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Who knows what Nintendo will do, I'm hoping they'll give us some fair share of loving in a one size fits all deal. Yep, that's what i'm expecting. No need for a different shaped shell for each console when the GC shell can handle them all.
dabookerman Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 lmao, im suspecting add ons have more different types than pokemon does? god i hope not, that would make me lose repect for nintendo by about 13%
RATM_4_EVA Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 guys remember that the controller is not final. they might add more buttons, Will change the design and many other things. god i cant wait.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Granted, they maintain a level of quality which many companies lack. But then again, I throw Mario Party 3-7 in your face! Hmm, i quite like Mario Party 4 tho. More than the first one anyway. Dunno why, i just do. It just feels like a nice game to play and it's fun. Um, i guess we'll have to wait and see about the controller shell. I would expect you to be able to play NES games with the SNES pad anyway, so a shell could be saved there. Although, maybe they will release them for collection purposes? It may not be essential to have the shells, because you may have 1 shell to play them all (hehehe. see what i did there) on. So, you have 1 "master shell", but then maybe you have the option to use an N64 shell or a "snes/Nes" shell. I think this would be quite likely.
gorrit Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah, you could probably use any shell that has enough buttons for that game, but they might release multiple retro shells for the look and feel.
MidnightSun Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Am I the only one who has the ability to remember the Gamecube controller slots? You could play the NES / SNES / N64 games on the Gamecube controller. The only difference would be on the GC controller when playing an N64 game the C buttons would be used by the C-Stick and the X & Y buttons would be useless. That would probably feel a little strange...

dazzybee Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Thing is, there is no reason the N64 pad couldn't play Snes game - got the 4 buttons and the shoulder buttons!?! I think they main shell will be able to play ports, Snes, N64 and Cube games to be honest, and the normal rev pad can play nes and GB, GBA games!
RATM_4_EVA Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro.

DCK Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Who says the shell will be like the GameCube controller? Why would it have Cube controller sockets? I think we might actually see a N64 tripod revival...
Kurtle Squad Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe the DS can be used as a SNES controller?! It has all the buttons!! Though there is the normal shell anyway, which would be able to play them.
Din Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe the DS can be used as a SNES controller?! It has all the buttons!!Though there is the normal shell anyway, which would be able to play them. Yeah but that would mean everybody would need a DS to play SNES games. Which is a bit silly. Plus the GBA-GC connectivity wasn't exactly a massive hit. I just hope we don't have to keep buying loads of add-ons for this controller to play different games.
MidnightSun Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Who says the shell will be like the GameCube controller? Why would it have Cube controller sockets? I think we might actually see a N64 tripod revival... It was stated in an interview that the "shell" would be resemblent of a Wavebird. That doesn't mean it'll be a GC controller, but the shape of it most likely will be the same. Also DazzyBee, GB and GBA games won't be available to download. Plus you couldn't play GBA games with a sideways Revolution contoller because there would be no "L" and "R" buttons.
Ninty 182 Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 THE GC CONTROLLER CAN PLAY ALL N64 And SNES GAMES. It HAS BEEN DONE ON THE GC. the zelda collectors edition had OOT playing perfectly as well as ALTTP and the origional Zelda's. I therefore doubt they'll be releasing all of these custom shells for the rev controller.

Any ways, we dont know what the cradle will be like yet apart from the wavebird shape, so if what your saying is true, new nintendo customers will also need to fork out cash for a gamecube controller to play those games.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Uhm can't you use the Cube ATII SNES controler? The revolution suports the Cube port.
