DiemetriX Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 [A C V] In the "Next Issue" section of EGM, they show a Revolution controller and promise that there will be new exclusive information about it next issue. They say they'll have an exclusive interview with high-ranked Nintendo officials about the online service, back catalogue, and game lineup, as well as hands-on impressions of the controller. With Game Informer already revealing information this month, it seems the floodgates have opened. The June issue of EGM should be out in maybe the last week of this month, which is just a week or two before E3. Stay with us for updates on everything Revolution-related! [/A C V] I hope we get alot of news soon.
Nintendork Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I reckon something big will drop by the weekend, I'm also confident ONM (UK) will have something solid this issue.
Owen Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 I reckon something big will drop by the weekend, I'm also confident ONM (UK) will have something solid this issue. By this weekend? Really? I hope so! ONM is a maybe for me, they keep promising good stuff but haven't delivered as of yet! I'm also hoping April 13th edition will have some superb new news on the revo though, keep those fingers crossed! I'm really hoping we keep getting some new info up till May 9th, it really isn't that long away now, but it would be nice to get some news right up till it to tide us over! I've never been so excited, E3 is really going to rock!
Nintenchris Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 ONM is a maybe for me, they keep promising good stuff but haven't delivered as of yet! I'm also hoping April 13th edition will have some superb new news on the revo though, keep those fingers crossed! The next issue is delayed... Issue three of ONM will be on sale on 20 April http://forum.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4830&sid=9a3cbc840461ceaf320fe3bf8dd39d4b Anyway... the Revo news should start flooding in soon.... E3 is so close i can almost taste it!
Stocka Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Also remember Nintendo Power claim they have "THE BIGGEST SCOOP OF THE YEAR" in their next issue. Most likely just the Red Steel screens, or month old Phantom Hourglass screens.
Nintendork Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 It depends whether Red Steel was a one off exception to the non disclosure agreement or whether Nintendo has lifted it for all major or minor developpers. I mean it's working.. Nintendo have 4 Revolution stories on the digg front page and a couple of DS stories too. It really is working.. by the end of the week Red Steel will have died down, perhaps it would be wise to release something else for Revolution. Depends how they want to play it.. I doubt it will be a first party title, and i doubt it's gonna come from Nintendo directly- but perhaps something else will pop up. I'm just waffling now, knowing that Nintendo worked so closely with Ubisoft on this one, and it really is the hardcore flagship for the console perhaps it is a 'one off' treat.
ultrajamie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 you can pretty much expect big news every week until e3 from now.... once one publusher has shown something, other will be missing out on publicity and will have to be allowed by nintendo to get their wares 'out there' however, this will all fit into a schedule and this game being unveiled now will all be part of a broad 'media plan'
Nintendork Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Yes but what if all the publishers are still bound by the no names, no screenshots no nothing disclosure agreements? The only thing we've heard from most major developpers is either a genre or a title and a linked genre. Red Steel has done it's job, it has made a big wave in the hardcore gaming community and debunked the myth that this controller is a gimmick. Skeptics who have seen the Red Steel screens will now take Revolution seriously at E3- that's the real aim of pre-E3 news.
ultrajamie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Yes but what if all the publishers are still bound by the no names, no screenshots no nothing disclosure agreements?The only thing we've heard from most major developpers is either a genre or a title and a linked genre. . they will all be given windows to promote their titles... some will have done deals with nintendo for this and others will be offered the chance based on the importance or the the game. based on visuals, the maturity of the content, and use of the controller, i would say red steel is an obvious choice for early promotion.... it gets lots of points across without revealing any of nintendos in-house stuff. whatever... ubsoft will have had to approve the decision to go with the game informer editorial with nintendo before breaking their NDA.
Demuwan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 There are more Red Steel details and pics coming this week. We weren't really supposed to have seen any thing yet but when the mag officaily comes out more people will be free to talk. “Once the magazine comes out - I will elaborate more. I wish I could talk right now but I’m in a bit of a “silent mode” - you know? You guys weren’t supposed to see this magazine until next week! I want to tell you all my thoughts on the power of the system, what I thought of the controls, etc. And I will…at the approriate time. (ie. Next Week) For now, I will say - NINTENDOMEGATON! http://boards.ign.com/Message.aspx?topic=114537164&brd=8263&start=114539893 Expect some more big things soon people. EDIT: link is for IGN insiders only soz.
mike-zim Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 @ nintendork agreed 100% Nintendo will have various NDA's out and they will let different companies reveil info at different times. this is a very smart move by nintendo.
Guest Stefkov Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 this is so exciting! all this information coming out in the two weeks i am off school! this is the best easter holiday ever!
harribo Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Skeptics who have seen the Red Steel screens will now take Revolution seriously at E3- that's the real aim of pre-E3 news.

Charlie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 You have no idea how wrong you are. I give to you my MSN conversation with a skeptic How many other people seriously think like that though? There's point-blank evidence that they are in-game.
mike-zim Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 what a dick ban him from speaking to you if he does not have an open mind.
Nintendork Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Haha just ban him from MSN and then the internet altogether just for speaking out of line. - Free speech on t'internet "just you fucking try and stop us"
Demuwan Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 what a dick ban him from speaking to you if he does not have an open mind. I would have done that a long time ago.
ultrajamie Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 Haha just ban him from MSN and then the internet altogether just for speaking out of line.- Free speech on t'internet "just you fucking try and stop us" anyone who speaks out against the 'revolution' should be banned yay! : peace:
Jamba Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 anyone who speaks out against the 'revolution' should be banned yay! : peace: Viva la Revolution! Ahem... Yes that guy is a numbskull. Blatant denial is for religous zelots and idiots.
raven_blade2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 ^ yes I agree. There are some people out there who are arrogantly biased against anything Nintendo, no matter what they do. Its a shame, really.... They should open their mind and realise that they have big ideas and the means to make them possible. Anyway, Issue three of ONM will be on sale on 20 April. How convienient? Ive also heard rumours floating around that the 20th April is the day when the NDA's finally get lifted. Lets hope so.
Nintendork Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Starting to sound like a bunch of fanboys. [/gets flamed/banned]
ShadowV7 Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Why are people beginning to say what we know and what other people have said?
DCK Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 How many other people seriously think like that though? There's point-blank evidence that they are in-game. Until I saw evidence, I thought the big screens in the magazine were artwork, too. They seem rather posed and 'drawn', though that might be because they are magazine scans. There are some people out there who are arrogantly biased against anything Nintendo, no matter what they do. Its a shame, really.... They should open their mind and realise that they have big ideas and the means to make them possible.I don't think that opening topics like 'sony stealing the revmote' in which people get worried about Sony's evilness shows a general open minded attitude on these boards either.
ultrajamie Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Viva la Revolution! Ahem... Yes that guy is a numbskull. Blatant denial is for religous zelots and idiots. it was meant as sarcasm, doh.
Nexus Zero Posted April 11, 2006 Posted April 11, 2006 Funny how no-one says anything about Zelda when they release high-resolution screenshots with no GUI.
