If you've been around the gaming community lately, you've probably heard things about the Nintendo Revolution, it's supposed abilities, power, et cetera. I've created this thread for the forum members to throw in any Revolution related gossip they've heard up until now, and also to inform those who have only broken ideas of what the Revolution will be. The thread will serve as a main thread for all Revo related news, instead of being specific to one feature of the Revolution. If it's not gossip and it really is true, then great. If you're not sure, it doesn't matter.
The information can be anything from it's processing power to it's release date, as long as it is Revolution related.

The latest I've heard is that LoZ:TP will be able to use the Revo controller when played on the system. As for anything else, developers have said that the Revo is similar to the Gamecube in terms of hardware.

The Revo will probably come out when the PS3 comes out. Ya know, because looking at something that costs $50, looks WAY better then something that costs $400.

Actually, the PS3 is said to be delayed a few years, so I don't think it'll come out at the same time as the Revo.

While the Revolution will be neat, I can't say it will at all compare graphically to the effort they're putting into the PS3's graphics hardware and what have you. I just don't expect game quality to be as good as a result. |

And I heard that the PS3 will be coming out at the most, a little more than a year from the Revo.

No matter how flashy the Revo may be, it won't be successful if Nintendo keeps up this horrible selection of games like on the Gamecube...the Revo ship will quickly sink. Sure, they may have Mario, Sonic, Resident Evil, etc. but that's pretty much it. They barely have any sports games or any of the popular thug games (San Andreas, 25 to Life) that could help their rep that they're not a kiddie console. And can we please have bigger controllers than the Gamecube this time? Yeah, those are kiddie sized too.
If Nintendo does try something new in expanding their game selection that has nothing to do with the first word being "Mario" the second word "Party" and the third being a number, this will be Nintendo's last console, at in the non hand held department at least, because even though some gamers may enjoy it, the majority would rather play something like Halo or San Andreas.

[/rant] All right, I'm just a little angry right now. It's not like Nintendo's games are geared towards EVERYONE. Especially not people who liked games like San Andreas and probably are maintaining less than a 1.0 in their broken down schools. There are Playstation die-hards, X-Box fanboys, and Nintendo loyalists. Each of these groups will keep the companies alive even if the rival companies are doing better. Nintendo will have the added advantage of having most of Japan's gamers all to itself, anyway. If you're any younger than, say, 21, the PS3 won't even be aimed at you anyway. You know it's going to be an estimated $900 when it comes out in America because of all the features it's equipped with, so good luck making that kind of extra money. The only thing I do agree with you on is Mario Party. Waaaay too many Mario Parties, I mean for Christ's sake, 7 already? They've sucked since the fourth one. Just stop it, Hudson, you're giving me a headache. So, DarkBlueYoshi, unless you've got the time to take a poll including the entire WORLD, don't assume that most gamers would rather play your beloved thug games. |

I have to agree with you Blood. I mean, DBY has a small point on the fact that Nintendo has a lot E-Rated, Plentiful T-Rated, and a few M-Rated Games, and I do see a ton of younger audiences playing M Games as well around here.
HOWEVER!
Since Playstation has released a bunch of games that involve Blood, Gore, Language, & Sexual Themes, people have been getting into that. Heck, almost everyday, when I draw a picture of Sonic, Mario, Yoshi, whatever, I been getting comments like "Mario's Gay," "Nintendo should just die," or "Nintendo Sucks!" They don't know, if they know it's stupid, have they played them? No! Not all of them.
I been also hold gruges abot who's good and not at least once a month at school. I'm the only one in my whole World Geography Class(Mostly Males) Who likes Nintendo. I told them that:
"The graphics and content doesn't make the game, the gameplay and plot matters."
What do I get:
"(Censored) You."
They don't know at all. They're just messing them self up with that.
...Anyway,
Sorry for that, got kind of upset. Anyway, between the PS3, 360, & Revo, It'll be between the PS3 & Revo, because you're better off playing the original X-Box than the 360 hands down. Like Blood said, the PS3 will be delayed until 2007-2008, and he does have a point about it's price, I can't say $900, but I'll say close to at least $400-600 since they're adding a ton of features.
Also, I kind of liked that the fact tha Nintendo is hiding their ideas from us, that can add supense, and they're making something good, though I could be wrong. At least it can connect to the internet, play DVD, and you'll be able to download as many retro games as you like.
The only main concern to me is besides the games, is the controller. I love the idea with the remote and all, but the main problem is that we don't know much about the shell, which might be a big let down, but possibly not as much as the PS3, since that controller looks like a boomerang and looks kind of hard to use. The 360's okay, but not the best.
Right now, I'm hoping the Revo will have a decent price. From what I heard from G-Phoria, it could come to a possible oh, 200-400 dollars, which is pretty cool, since it does have a few more features than the other systems.
Oh, just wondering, if you can use it online, do you think they'll be more online games?

At least those weren't last in sales like, um, Nintendo.
You're right, just Sony and Microsoft's are.
My point is, Nintendo needs to stop being repitive and open their market up. Jay said that he's the only Nintendo fan in his whole class. If Nintendo came out with a completely new game that could be open to a lot of people like let's say Halo, more people would see that the Revo is not a kiddie system, like the rep it has build. You may say this is ripping off Halo, but it was the original game called Super Mario Bros. that made Nintendo on the map.
That's great, but Sony and Microsoft have had similar features since the Xbox and the PS2 came out.

a majority of the teenagers are crack heads who deserve to die so their opinion doesn't count. I despise all those M rated games but a few. Nintendo is for for everyone,it's those crack heads who give it a bad name. The party games are getting old though. If your gonna diss nintendo and brag about the sony and microsoft being the best like all those "other" gamers,I have three words for people like those, get a life. sorry man, but if want to come to a yoshi board and say stuff like that, somone needs to stand up
in on topicness: I havn't heard anything except about the controller and the downloas game thing.

Basing your entire argument upon sales figures alone is stupid. I'd like to point out as of a few weeks ago, the Gamecube was outselling the X360 in Japan. As well as every other current gen console.
If anything, Nintendo are developing games and systems that anyone can pick up and play. Their whole deal with the Revolution is that they want everyone, not just your typical gamer population to play it. This includes your granny. Look at Nintendogs. Thats hugely popular among the female population, who aren't really considered gamers. Nintendo is trying to move away from that image of kids locked in their rooms playing complex games that only them understands.
Bear in mind there are plenty of people who don't like shooting people in the face until they stop moving.
have enough games or details been released about it yet to even say its a "kiddie system"? Do me a favour and define "kiddie" for me.
I don't think those are features that would make me choose one console over another. With todays system of porting everything over to everything else you probably aren't going to miss much. How many original game ideas have you seen for the X360? So far all I've noticed is a lot of guff that could be easily achieved on earlier consoles. Some games even look they came from the original Xbox. All this new generation so far is the exact same dross I haven't wanted to play, but with higher poly counts and more anti-aliasing. At least the Revolution is attempting to do something different with its Revmote, but unfortunately people are still quick to dump all over it because its different from the standard.
Who cares? I'll be glad to get away from all those generic war games and crappy licensing tie-ins. Bring on the originality, I say.

Hey, Mario Party 7 is actually quite a sexy game. Right up there with 2 and 3.
As for the GameCube's controller which you seem to dislike, it's way, way, way more ergonimically designed for your hands than the N64, Playstation, and particularily the X-Box -- it just moulds and contours to your hands like any good controller should. It feels natural to hold one, and comfortable to use for hours on end.
As for Nintendo's games, I think it's good that one company isn't basing all of it's games on the fact that people will buy them for their realism and violence. I'm glad that they aren't making their games to cater to those who would have previously never appreciated video games for what they once were, buying them only for the aforementioned reasons..

Their is nothing actually wrong with the Mario Party series in any way. The only issue brought up there is the fact they continue to milk it for what its worth. Of course, each game has its own fun level; as would any game created by Nintendo. So it can't be said that its a horrible game, for no true game is really dispisable by all. Every game has its own hold of a fanbase that cares for it and consumes it. Otherwise, a game like such wouldn't exist.
The Gamecube controller, all worth while, is formed very small. Yet, one has to remember that the Nintendo 64 was built in near same styles. They are both very petite at touch and completely diffrent in some ways from one another. Yet, construction in each follows near same strides and patterns. Nintendo has always had small controllers. Its how it was built, the new one coming up is just the same way. This adds more to the main system though because it allows movement while playing. Xbox controllers are shifted out of the PC game controllers which are just as big. Nintendo has always been in the console run for a long time, and it has made its own ware of hardware to add to its consoles. It knows what it wants, and is diffrent in size because its sold in Japan as a main outlet. Japan craves smaller designs as they live in a large society, because of that they want what can easily fit with them.
While Nintendo creates games, it does so in the level that they are aimed at all audiences. Just because Mario is rated T or E doesn't mean adults can't play it. Nintendo is wise that when a game is established, its level of maturity can be processed through diffrent steps of ages. That way, it can hit every market possible. Older players can come back to enjoy things they have had before. The reason it doesn't create hordes of Mature games would be because they want to catch all eyes. With a Mature game certain parents won't let their children grasp at it. One might think that Nintendo merely doesn't create Mature games because they don't like them, but it might be more based on the fact that they can't reach all audiences.
Systems such as the Xbox and Playstation were created in later times, after the older consoles had worn out their existance. Yet, they still thrive in the homes of any who had them at their reign. They were grand, and games could reach out nearly to all; upper scale violence was rare if not any. These newer consoles took their views off of PC games as well as Console games. Thus the higher magnitude of violence was created. This drew out a group that weren't originally gamers. They would be, in standards, liars to the community. However, that doesn't mean they to can't have the ability to play as they wish. It's the companies goal to bring in everyone, no matter how veteran they may be. It's about what they can achieve, number wise and entertainment wise.
The Revolution will be their next line in old fashioned gaming. Of course, it comes equipped with modern neccessities; adding to the body to attract the man. This is all efforts of Nintendo to keep what they began with and they've always done a grand job at it. Just like all, they will fade out in time. So will PS2 so will Xbox, so will everything. Newer consoles will appear, old names may resurface. Its the economy driven style of life, and they are out to keep it moving.

Then...you know the rest, 50 dollar stuff. |

They don't know, if they know it's stupid, have they played them? No! Not all of them. Yeah, I usually get a lot of "I killed Pikachu!" and "Mario's dead!" and "Mario and Luigi are gay!" and just today "Microsoft bought Mario!" I mean, REALLY! Microsoft buying Mario?!! Seeing as Nintendo would NEVER loosen their grip of the Mario franchise, I HIGHLY doubt that'd EVER happen. a majority of the teenagers are crack heads who deserve to die so their opinion doesn't count. I despise all those M rated games but a few. Nintendo is for for everyone,it's those crack heads who give it a bad name. The party games are getting old though.

Good man, L.D.! Good man! And yeah, it supposedly has a whole library of NES, SNES, and N64 games packed into its internal library. Hey, Mario Party 7 is actually quite a sexy game. Right up there with 2 and 3. I have all the souvenirs in Mario Party 7. I just like tinkering around with 'em! ;D |

Some new news today from the GDC. The Revolution virtual console will be somewhat like iTunes and will also have Hudson Turbografx and Sega Genesis games. Awesome news in my opinion, but everyone still wants game play videos!
