That's a good point. Nintendo is actually the most profitable of the Big Three. And they'll always have their hardcore audience that will buy whatever they put out (like Tridenti). I'm not anti-Nintendo, I'm just a concerned citizen. Their E3 presentation was a bit of a joke, there's like NO good Gamecube games coming out, other than... erm, the 85th Zelda. I mean, that doesn't make me happy. I want to know when I buy the Revolution (and I will), that there's going to be lots of GAMES for it. And hopefully something beyond Mario and Zelda. |

Nintendo is betting that the finincial support of their core audience will provide them the oppurtunity to try things the other companies would find suicidal. They have accepted the fact that they will never be number one and used that as an oppurtunity to experiment. It's like they are an independent film house and Sony and MS are the big studios. They're all about the mass consumer but they'll ape an idea from Nintendo in a second once they see it's profitable. Which is fine by me actually. |

I will take no pleasure in nintendo failing, but if they haven't learned a lesson from what happened to Sega is it my fault? The smartest thing they could of done would be to get out of the console wars, produce games for both systems and make a handheld that companies will actually want to produce games for. I will buy a 360 for Halo and PC ports as well as the media server functionality and probably a PS3 for HD DVD. I don't see any reason to buy a Revolution even if it ever comes to market and quite frankly I hope it doesn't and I'm playing the next metroid on the 360. |

The stylus and bongos are nothing compared to eye-toy. Nintendo is gimmicky. If Nintendo tries anything 'Revolutionary' with this next console it will be out or despiration not innovation. |

Yeah, there's no point having loyalty to the box games play on. If Nintendo went the Sega route the world wouldn't end. But man are those sony and ms boxes butt booty ugly! |

And eye-toy is not? It's fun as hell... for a while. And how many games take advantage of this? |

Good points I get what you're saying. But I either can't agree or I think Nintendo is doing carrying out their possibly stupid plan horribly wrong. An independent film house doesn't keep making the same film over and over again. Their market share keeps shrinking, fewer and fewer people care about them, and eventually, who knows what's going to happen to them. Sega fans are among the most hardcore around, and look what happened to them. Different situations but roughly the same idea. I don't think Nintendo are immortal and they can't keep carrying on like this. And like I've been saying, I think the whole ''Nintendo's creativity will keep them alive against the soulless, faceless Sony and MS'' is bullshit, since at least Sony has proven to have brilliant people developing for them, first party. I should probably stop fussing about it anyway. Even if they do eventually get bullied out of the console wars, Sony or MS will kill for their IPs, they'll always be around. |

Nintendo plans to announce the price, launch date and other details for its next-generation game console by the end of the year, its president said on Thursday. Nintendo earlier this week unveiled its console, code-named "Revolution," and said it will launch in 2006, giving users access to more than 20 years of games from past Nintendo consoles. The Revolution, roughly the size of three stacked DVD cases, will feature wireless controllers, built-in wireless Internet access, and an add-on for DVD playback. "We plan to give details on when we will launch it, what the price will be, what the controller will look like and how games can be played on it by the end of the year," said Nintendo's Satoru Iwata, speaking to Reuters at the Electronic Entertainment Expo annual trade show, known as E3. Some gamers and industry analysts had criticized Nintendo for providing sparse details on the new machine, comparing it to Sony Corp. and Microsoft Corp.'s unveiling of slicker, graphic-intense next-generation machines. But Iwata said he didn't want to tip his hand to rivals. Iwata said the new console is aimed at customers who hate clutter and find current games and the controllers used to play them to be confusing and difficult.

From IGN Revolution FAQ Q: What makes the controller so revolutionary then? A: At E3 2005, Nintendo's executive of vice president of sales and marketing, Reginald Fils-Aime, offered a hint. "We announced the ability to download and play the best NES games, S-NES games, N64 games, in addition to Revolution games and GameCube games," he said in an IGN/G4 interview. "If you put those controllers all lined up together, they're all very different. So think about what kind of device is going to allow you to play all those different types of games. It's pretty interesting." Revolution's controller may enable gamers to configure their own layouts in order to best suit their different gameplay experiences. |

Press releases also said that the DS hints at the direction Nintendo is taking with Revolution. And it's not dual screen. So what's the revolution? Completely touchscreen pads! This means that developers are no longer constrained by a standard button layout format. I can't even imagaine the possibilities... What could a devloper create without this restraint? Who knows. This is a huge leap of faith though. This will succeed or fail based on the developers ability to 'think outside the box'. Just look at the DS dual screen. What truly take advantage of that? Well, Nintendo's got balls for miles. |
