Nintendo Revolution...

Click Here for some Info

I have seen the PS3 and XBOX 360, and am not impressed. I will buy them however, but the system I am personally looking forward to is this one. Although it is a little caddywompus, it looks sleek. AND, whats more, is that it ONLY PLAYS GAMES. No, "Velocity Girl making stickers and skateparks, or Mom talking to Grandma through the thing." And the best feature? Being able to download EVERY SINGLE GAME from thier older systems. Now for the younger generation, this means nothing. But for us older gamers, we no longer have to search across the country or pay some nerd 300 bucks for a copy of Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana, but only a small fee and download the game, and then play it on the Revolution. Sure, PS3 has Killzone 2, and XBOX 360 has Halo 3, but what could Nintendo possibly have, right? Well, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that there WILL be a game for each of its super famous characters (Mario, Samus, Link) and 2 will be available at launch....and even better, Nintendo is pushing to get Super Smash Bros 3 ready for launch. Now, that is alone makes me wanna get it. And for the record, I AM NOT A NINTENDO FANBOY!!! I have a PS2 and XBOX as well as a Gamecube, but in this round, Nintendo just seems to be the only one staying dedicated to gaming.

Oh, and for those of you who care, they released a SMALLER Gameboy Advance. Yes, smaller. As in be careful where your thumbs are, or you'll cover the entire screen small. An idea of how small it is, look at your credit card......yeah about that size......

And to people who missed me, sorry I been gone for so long, I was busy with work, and my personal studies. O.O.....do I still have my job as animator in the Game Crew??? You guys probably forgot all about me......

Nobody cares about the 'revolution'. I think Nintendo should take the route of Sega and make games for the good consoles.

I wholeheartily agree with D3v for once.

Suckanut.
I care and I also think the downloadable games is an amsome idea. Ive heard rumors they are deciding on wether they want to make that option free or not. If they did it would be insane, but I doubt they will. Still...

Yes. Just because they don't make the kind of games YOU like, they must suck.



THe whole download thing would OWN.

Id be able to play super mario RPG and the Mega Man games again!!!!!! Oh oh, and those 8 bit mario games I used to play at the day care when I was younger!!!!!

Maybe I'll get the system when the price is reduced.

It can also play DVD's so it wont just be games. That downloading thing sounds awesome. Also IMO this is the best looking system yet.

So many people will still mod which ever system they have in order to get those games it doesn't even matter that Nintendo are offering a downlaod of them.

so your saying i can mod my GCN or my xbox right now and play megaman 4?

Actually, yes you can mod your xbox. Don't know about a GCN.

My bro has a friend who has a modded Xbox that we sometimes borrow, has all the NES, SNES and a bunch of N64 roms on it, aswell as Xbox games and PS1 games. You can also rip Xbox games.

Yes. Just because they don't make the kind of games YOU like, they must suck.

Exactly.

Just in response to the OP because this thread is too long to read. Why not just download an emulator? I hate when later aged consoles try to push off old game that I've already payed for just for the convenience of playing them on my 'new' console. Xbox live Arcade is infamous for this.

Just download an emulator(for ANY console, not just Nintendo), download appropriate Roms, plug in your xbox 360 wired controller or wireless controller adapter into your computer's USB slot, and play old games to your heart's content. For free - minus the cost of the controller(I think xbox 360 wired ones go for $30 which is much cheaper than a console)

Revolution looks awesome, so far. I love the design. Personally, I think it's the best-looking of the three. The PS3 looks like a printer and the controller is an abomination. Seriously, there was nothing wrong with the dual-shock design. Why the change? XBox 360 has an awesome controller, but I'm not terribly keen on the actual console. It looks like a PC tower. No real character or uniqueness to it.

However, the look of the hardware doesn't clue anybody in as to the nature of the console's "revolutionary" functionality, and we still haven't seen the controller. I'm definitely excited for it, but not 100% sold on it yet. Hopefully, the coming months will reveal more information about the system's real capabilities.

I heard a rumor somewhere that the controller is going to be touch-screen of some sort where you customize the buttons to your taste. This sort of goes along with what they've been hinting at with the downloadable functionality.

I'm not going to be satisfied with the downloading capability unless they offer at least a LOT of the games for the older consoles. I don't really give a damn about the N64 for the most part, but SNES and NES games are super fucking collectible. I've started working on my SNES collection again through ebay recently.

I thought it was supposed to be ALL previous nintendo games.

Ya, that's what I thought, but some guy they interviewed on G4TV from Nintendo said that they would have many favorites available for download. If it was going to be all, he would have said "ALL!!! ALL!!"

I've also heard that it's any game that has been on a nintendo system.

I have a Gamecube, last time I played it was months ago. It's a waste of space. I've got Metroid Prime, SSBM, and Super Mario Sunshine, and none of them are entertaining. SSBM was fun for about an hour, Super Mario Sunshine was a few hours. Metroid Prime is the only one of the three that I actually played more than a day, and I beat it and no longer have any urge to play it again.

Forgot to state my point. My point is, I'm not the only person that feels this way about the Gamecube, so I'm hoping Nintendo was smart about this new system. It seems like they have done a good job but until I know a few things I'm not sold on it either.

As you may or may not have noticed, with all or most of the pics of the PS3 and its controllers at the bottom it said something along the lines as "subject to change".

Think about it, there is a long time before it's launch and they could possibly due anything they wanted to the system and controllers. It was just a the unveiling of a system, nothing said that what you saw was official.
