Nintendo Revolution

Shutup. Just shutup.

Anyway, info on the revolution will be release E3 2005. Check out this article by IGN.

January 13, 2005 - In an interview with the Kyoto Shimbun today, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata said that the successor to GameCube, codenamed Revolution, would bring about a "paradigm shift."


Iwata explained that, just as Nintendo did with its recently released DS portable, it wants to create something unique with the new home platform. He indicated once more that Revolution could be a machine targeted specifically at the mainstream audience, saying that if something looks too complicated it could alienate players.
Last May, Nintendo announced that work was well underway on Revolution and that it would be unveiled in some form at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005. Very few specifics about the console have been released since, except for a few vague comments by Nintendo executives that it might not use a traditional controller and that it will be able to hook up to a computer monitor as well as a television.

Iwata also told the newspaper that with Revolution Nintendo wanted to create games that would move the industry forward.

That article was in the new issue of EGM this month.

MrESqueek, maybe you are reffering to the Warp Pipe project, which was some program created by some non-Nintendo people that allowed you to play GCN games like Mario KartD online. Then again, maybe you're not.

I've heard a rumor that Nintendo has recently bought the project. Maybe the next system will be online? Then again, it's just a rumor I heard.

Interesting.

Wow. Gyroscope controls for a controller. Not trying to start anything but being able to use your GC controller like GB's Kirby Tilt n' Roll doesnt really impress me. Only thing I like is that Nintendo is using HD-DVD discs instead of PS3's Blu-Ray.

Remember, that list isnt "straight from the horse's mouth," so dont believe anything on it.

I don't believe any of it. I'm just saying that hypothetically if thats the main features of the Revolution, then my statements suffice my opinion.

When nintendo does something new and original the whole industry takes notice and it will eithe be really good and a strong seller (DS) or it will be the most terrific flop of a system ever (virtual boy...*shudder*)

[suicidalmuskrat]

just to clarify, the GC has been online for some time now, in fact if you go to pretty much any store you will be able to find phantasy star ONLINE...which is one of the few, if any GC games that supported the online functionality.

p.s. virtual boy rocks

Actually, PSO is the only online GameCube game (at least, the only official one), and that's been out for a while. I doubt many people are playing it any more. Heck, can you even find a GCN online adapter anywhere?

[suicidalmuskrat]

yeah, most of the video game stores by me had them...or:
