Nintendo Revolution revealed

[RPGD]

I can honestly say, as a Nintendo advocate, I've been very anxious about Nintendo's "gaming revolution". Especially regarding how it will be recieved. Exactly what is supposed to make it so revolutionary? They have been working on it for quite a while, and it really makes me wonder. The possibilities and overload of rumors are giving me a headache. Too much to consider!

On top of that, Iwata said "For the next-generation console, we plan to introduce a friendly user interface so that, for example, a mother who's watching her child playing a game might say, 'Oh, I'd like to try that too.'" What type of "user interface" could make it so.. umm.. user friendly?

With E3 fast approaching, Nintendo prepares to show off it's "Trump Card". In my case, the anxiety of seeing the Revolution at last overshadows the PS3's unveiling, as well as whatever Microsoft is showing off for the 360.

Will it pay off? Will it be a no-show? Only time will tell.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

All of the console developers talk big and then rarely present a product that lives up to their self-produced hype. But we still buy them, regardless.

I think Nintendo is blowing smoke out of their arse, personally. I still like their "stick to video games" approach to their products, though. I commend them for that. I don't want a console that can translate what birds sing and a hundred other useless features. But it would be nice if they got a online network set up for a few more of their games.

"Virtual Boy 256"!

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

Interestingly, and I mentioned this before in a shunned topic, Broadcom's helping Nintendo out in the online department, which is big stuff.

I think the virtual boy had potential. if it had more than one color and a usable controller.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

I'm really wondering what their controller will look like. Rumors say that it will be like the DS's touch screen, which could be cool or a lame gimmick.

Whatever, I hope it's better than the rumored PS3 controller. Good god, look at the size of this trackball:

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

HAHA!!! That's the worst thing I've EVER seen!!

Looks like they grafted a swollen testicle to a Dual Shock.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

You could replace it with a jawbreaker and suck on it during play. Mmm... Innovation.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

It was the perfect controller... damn the Dual Shock lawsuit thing.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

Eh, I’m actually glad they might be changing it instead of just churning out the same controller with a different color scheme and a 3 imprinted on top.

And the trackball is supposedly there to have the quickness and agility of a PC mouse.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

Back to the Revolution talk. A hijack warning will be imminent at this rate.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

That PS3 controller was proven to be a fake.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

I'm just interested to see what comes up. We know it's going to coincide with the DS's wireless play in some way. We also know Nintendo's prefering innovation over graphical power. And that it's not going to be a console that we'd expect, like one that connects to a TV.

E3 should be fun this year.

Re: Official Project Revolution Thread

I think I and many others will be severely disappointed. There's so much hype around the thing, Nintendo can't possibly expect to meet expectations.

Regarding Nintendo focusing some on online play, it has to be said. I guess online gaming isn't a fad after all, huh Nintendo?
