Here you go:

Brooke got some things right, but much of it is flawed. I dont know whether he just made up a lot of that stuff, because many of the points have been disproven before. For instance, Game Informer wrote an article on the next generation consoles in which it claims the Revolutions controller will have one giant touch screen. Im thinking this is where Brooke got that idea. The Revolution will not have a touch screen. Iwata has stated this before. The controller will be quite normal in the sense that it will have a d-pad and buttons. Like I said, Im not going to tell you the revolutionary aspect of the system. Nintendo has some cool pre E3 plans for that.

First off, the 3D visuals he mentioned have nothing to do with the system. Nintendo isnt crazy.

It will also have gyroscopic controls, but like Brooke said, not all the games will use it. For instance, earlier I mentioned Nintendo has a Halo killer in development for the Revolution. This game will use the gyroscopic controls for aiming as wel as other things. Our game isnt using this function.

The controller will be wireless; hes right about that. As you also know, the Xbox 360s controllers will be wireless as well. Where do you think they got this idea? Thats why Nintendo is still trying to determine what to show at E3. From what Ive heard, they will show the design of the system as well as games. Ill tell you about the software later though.

The controller will also be pressure sensitive. The pressure you put into it will determine certain things, such as movement. This is another optional capibility. Someone on Nintendos board mentioned this months ago. They said that touching is good, but feeling is better. This may sound strange, but it provides great controls. Racing games will really be helped by this control setting.

The Nintendo Revolution will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far. Nintendogs is just the beginning. To achieve this, Nintendo sent us headsets (similar to ones you can use for Xbox Live) that are wirelessless communicating with the console. Imagine being able to merely call for an airstrike or reload your gun by giving out commands orally. So far, we have put this feature to the test the most; as you can see, Im excited over this feature.

From a graphical perspective, the Nintendo Revolution is very powerful. Many people seem to think this wont be the case, but rest assured. The games I saw while working at Nintendo were very beautiful. Ill tell you about those later.

As Nintendo has stated before, the system will be online. In my eyes, the online system they have set up is the most revolutionary part of the system. While Sony and Microsoft are busy turning their systems into trojan horses for their other electronic devices, Nintendo is going to use the Revolution for direct communication with gamers. The only way I can describe it is as an internet service. Imagine turning it on and checking your mail on the system. You see previews and demos of DS and Revolution games that you can download. A magazine similar to Nintendo Power will be exclusive to the system, and you will be able to access it on the Revolutions homepage. As you check you mail, you will also see various invitations from gamers on your buddy list who want to play you. There are so many other ways this is going to be used. Once the Revolution comes out, there will be no reason to hang out on message boards. Message boards as well as chat rooms will be available on the Revolution so that gamers can discuss and challenge each other all day. And the best thing is that the entire thing is totally free and easy to use. Why play Madden on Xbox Live when youll be able to play it for free on the Revolution with much better services?

Thats all Im going to reveal for now. There are some very interesting games in the horizon for the Revolution; Ill talk about them later.

Silicon
Knights is not developing for the Nintendo Revolution right now. They
will show off some Xbox 360 games at E3; I can confirm that. Matt saw
the game, and he knows what they are up to. Once he is able to talk
about it, he will reveal his information to you.

Like I said, I
know as much about Resident Evil 5 as you do. I would guess it is going
to be a current generation game. If Capcom could have it ready for the
holidays (to combat the Xbox 360), it would come out then. But thats
just my own speculation (and hope; RE4 is amazing).

I can
confirm that Nintendo is currently working on many Revolution titles.
Most are just in the planning stages, but I have seen video of seven.
Im sure at least three or four of these games will be at E3 in video
form. Perhaps more; we will see at E3. Outside of our game, there are
six 3rd party games that I have heard of. As I mentioned earlier,
Square Enix (happy now?) is developing a new game for the Revolution.
EA, Sega, Zoonami, Namco, and Activision are currently working on games.

3rd party information:

EA
is playing around with the Revolutions capibilities, implementing them
into another Madden game. This isnt really news though. From what Ive
heard, they are really going out of their way to make this more than
just a port. Voice controls are being used to the max in this title.
Calling out audibles will be used this way. The wireless capibilities
of the system are also going to be used. Like I said, there will be no
reason to buy Madden for the Xbox 360 when the Revolution version comes
out.

Sega is developing three games for the Revolution that
should be at E3. Im not going to reveal too much on what they are up
to for obvious reasons. The three games I listed does not include the
game we are developing for them. You will be very suprised at what they
are doing. Im sure you have heard of the Xbox 360 title Condemned that
they are working on. This game is something that many wouldnt expect
Sega to make; you wont expect what you will see at E3. The other game
they have is a typical, quirky Sega game. Its very interesting in the
sense that it uses all the systems capibilities.

Zoonami has
already given out some hints on what they are working on. I have always
felt that Sam Fisher is a much better character than Solid Snake.
Zoonami just might have some characters that are better than both of
them.

Namco is working on a Revolution game, but I dont have
details on it. I am sure that it is not a Soul Caliber III port. I
dont see why they just wont add online play and Link and Ganon to the
game and release it as a launch title. That would be a very smart move.

Activision
is working on some ports for the Revolution. You will see what they
have for the Xbox 360 at E3. At least one of these games will be ported
to the Revolution for its launch.

On 1st party information:

Like
I said, I have seen seven Nintendo titles, some of which will be at E3.
When the DS was launced, it had one sub par 1st party game. This will
not be the case with the Revolutions launch. If they were to release
all the games Ive seen at launch, it would easily be the best launch
ever for a console.

I can confirm that Nintendo is working on a
new, orignal Mario game. In my opinion, the last few Miyamoto games
havnt been that interesting. This will change with this game. Like
Mario 64 for the N64, this game will introduce all of the capibilities
of the console. It will use the pressure sensitive controls mainly, but
the voice controls as well as gyroscopic controls will be used as well.
From what I saw, this game will use mini games to introduce many of
these schemes. All of these mini games could be released as stand alone
games.

A new Super Smash Bros. Melee is in the works as well.
This game will demonstrate the online functions of the Revolution.
Nintendo has added many new things into the game, included a deeper
combat system. Many more special moves are included as well as some
very cool suprises. The levels will include some destructible
environments, and the characters will be fully customizable. Want to
play as Mario in his 80s outfit? Or would you prefer the 90s look?
Its your choice. The most innovative part of the game is the different
modes. In previous games, you were allowed to play in giant mode, metal
mode, small mode, etc. That has changed. You will be able to choose to
play in a Paper mode (a la Paper Mario), a cel shaded mode (Wind
Waker), or Viewtiful Joe-esque mode.

As I said earlier, Retro is working on a Halo killer. This game is going to be one of the best games at E3. In my opinion, StarCraft was the best RTS ever. This game is going to use some similar ideas. In most FPS, you play as a hero trying to save the day. In Retros game, they allow you to choose which storyline you want to play, just like StarCraft allows you to play as Terran, Zerg, etc. Biological weapons will play a major part in the game. Imagine fighting in a chemical plant, where toxics are stored everywhere. By shooting them, you emit the toxic. If you get hit by this stuff, many different things may happen. For instance, you may lose sight on the screen, your controls might be inverted or slowed down, etc. Or, if your character gets the fever, the controller might get hot. Very hot. The alien races are very interesting also. You will be able to switch to 3rd person in order to move faster (similar to running in Odd World: Strangers Wrath). You will be able to impregnate human players by grabbing on to them for a certain amount of time. This will implant a NPC in them, which will burst out at your command, instantly killing the human player. You will then be able to use voice control to command the NPC.

Someone who used to work for Nintendo and now is developing games for the Revolution for another company.
That's the keyword. Used to work for Nintendo.


If all of them info stuff were true then I don't know what I would do, I'm speechless right now thinking about all them things even if it's only ideas and nice to think of.

But you have to step back and think about this. It's not really Nintendo's style. Nintendo has always been a "Game Only" company. No DVD players (they did have that GC DVD player thing in Japan but it wasn't a main system), no CD players, no MP3 players, no whatevers. It has always been a company where they made their systems for games, not surfing the web, checking your email and so on. But Nintendo does tend to push away from the norm and do things that most never think of (like who the hell would have though about a touch screen like the DS or two screens, or 4 controller ports etc).
I myself don't care about getting on the web or checking my email, I got a computer (and by the time the Revolution comes out I'll have one in my room). I didn't like the idea of the X-Box being a computer system and the same goes for the Revolution.

But I will comment on most of the stuff that was talked about.


It will also have gyroscopic controls, but like Brooke said, not all the games will use it. For instance, earlier I mentioned Nintendo has a Halo killer in development for the Revolution. This game will use the gyroscopic controls for aiming as wel as other things. Our game isnt using this function.
This would be a killer for a game like Halo. Where you could turn around really quick if someone was about to attack you from behind. I can see how this would be greaty loved for a shooter game. I'm not the type that would get a shooter game, but if this came out then I think I would get a game that used this.

The controller will be wireless; hes right about that. As you also know, the Xbox 360s controllers will be wireless as well. Where do you think they got this idea? Thats why Nintendo is still trying to determine what to show at E3. From what Ive heard, they will show the design of the system as well as games. Ill tell you about the software later though.
I would love a wireless controller. If the Revolution's controller is wireless then I know everyone would love that. Some times I just can't stand the cords when I'm playing games. If they go with wireless (that I'm sure they will, the DS has wireless battling and stuff so I would think they would integrate it into their next gen system) then you wouldn't be tied down by cords. You would have more room (as in you can only be so far away from the system with cords, but if it was wireless you could have more distance) without the cords and so on. I know the WaveBird is wireless but it has no rumble to it. I'm sure the Revolution's controller will have fixed that (if it's pressure sensitive and so on then I know it has rumble).

The controller will also be pressure sensitive. The pressure you put into it will determine certain things, such as movement. This is another optional capibility. Someone on Nintendos board mentioned this months ago. They said that touching is good, but feeling is better. This may sound strange, but it provides great controls. Racing games will really be helped by this control setting.
This isn't the first time I heard about this. It would be ok. I'm not really a great big fan of the pressure sensitive idea because some times I get really pissed at a game and start twisting the handles of the controller. So if it was pressure sensitive I might mess it up or something. Or if I bang the controller on my bed then I might really mess something up.

The Nintendo Revolution will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far. Nintendogs is just the beginning. To achieve this, Nintendo sent us headsets (similar to ones you can use for Xbox Live) that are wirelessless communicating with the console. Imagine being able to merely call for an airstrike or reload your gun by giving out commands orally. So far, we have put this feature to the test the most; as you can see, Im excited over this feature.
Again this would be great for a Halo type game. I would love to have a voice control headset for some games. It would be a lot quicker then going into a few commands on the controller. This would be great for online games too, and I bet you will be able to talk to friends like X-Box Live.

As Nintendo has stated before, the system will be online. In my eyes, the online system they have set up is the most revolutionary part of the system. While Sony and Microsoft are busy turning their systems into trojan horses for their other electronic devices, Nintendo is going to use the Revolution for direct communication with gamers. The only way I can describe it is as an internet service. Imagine turning it on and checking your mail on the system. You see previews and demos of DS and Revolution games that you can download. A magazine similar to Nintendo Power will be exclusive to the system, and you will be able to access it on the Revolutions homepage. As you check you mail, you will also see various invitations from gamers on your buddy list who want to play you. There are so many other ways this is going to be used. Once the Revolution comes out, there will be no reason to hang out on message boards. Message boards as well as chat rooms will be available on the Revolution so that gamers can discuss and challenge each other all day. And the best thing is that the entire thing is totally free and easy to use. Why play Madden on Xbox Live when youll be able to play it for free on the Revolution with much better services?
Like I said before, I don't really care about checking my email or surfing the web. I like the idea of the demos and the Nintendo Power type magazine. The Buddy List idea is great, I would love to be able to tell ... that I would love to battle him/her. Because without a Buddy List I can't really think of any way to tell ... that I would like to battle.
The idea of no message boards kills me. j/k XD
I love the idea of a message board and chat room for Revolution (and that would be a great idea for the online Revolution thing). If you were stuck somewhere you could chat about it or post about it and get help on it right there on the Revolution.
And the idea of it being free is something I won't turn down. XD

I canconfirm that Nintendo is currently working on many Revolution titles.
Most are just in the planning stages, but I have seen video of seven.
Im sure at least three or four of these games will be at E3 in video
form. Perhaps more; we will see at E3. Outside of our game, there are
six 3rd party games that I have heard of. As I mentioned earlier,
Square Enix (happy now?) is developing a new game for the Revolution.
EA, Sega, Zoonami, Namco, and Activision are currently working on games.
If Square is making a game for the Revolution then there is a real good chance that it's going to be a Final Fantasy game. The past Final Fantasy games from Nintendo really looked bad and just didn't have the same feel as the Final Fantasy games on the PS2. So I hope they can make a good Final Fantasy game for Nintendo.

Sega is developing three games for the Revolution that
should be at E3. Im not going to reveal too much on what they are up
to for obvious reasons. The three games I listed does not include the
game we are developing for them. You will be very suprised at what they

Sega to make; you wont expect what you will see at E3. The other game
they have is a typical, quirky Sega game. Its very interesting in the
sense that it uses all the systems capibilities.
Sega makes some good games (and I think they mostly make games for Nintendo now). I can't wait to see what they got in store for the Revolution.

Namco is working on a Revolution game, but I dont have
details on it. I am sure that it is not a Soul Caliber III port. I
dont see why they just wont add online play and Link and Ganon to the
game and release it as a launch title. That would be a very smart move.
I so wish Namco would stick a Tekken game on the Revolution. XD

I can confirm that Nintendo is working on a
new, orignal Mario game. In my opinion, the last few Miyamoto games
havnt been that interesting. This will change with this game. Like
Mario 64 for the N64, this game will introduce all of the capibilities

the voice controls as well as gyroscopic controls will be used as well.
From what I saw, this game will use mini games to introduce many of
these schemes. All of these mini games could be released as stand alone
games.
This will be a Revolution launch game. Nintendo always sticks out one game that uses all of the capibilities of the new system. This will most likely be the game that everyone gets when they first get their Revolution (I'm talking about the people that gets it within the first few days, like me XD).

A new Super Smash Bros. Melee is in the works as well.
This game will demonstrate the online functions of the Revolution.
Nintendo has added many new things into the game, included a deeper
combat system. Many more special moves are included as well as some
very cool suprises. The levels will include some destructible
environments, and the characters will be fully customizable. Want to
play as Mario in his 80s outfit? Or would you prefer the 90s look?
Its your choice. The most innovative part of the game is the different
modes. In previous games, you were allowed to play in giant mode, metal
mode, small mode, etc. That has changed. You will be able to choose to
play in a Paper mode (a la Paper Mario), a cel shaded mode (Wind
Waker), or Viewtiful Joe-esque mode.
If this part was true then I could forget about all the rest. Super Smash Bros is my fav of all games. You can't get much better then Melee. But I think they will. A new combat system would be a great twist to the game. It would add a new style to Super Smash Bros. More special moves will be great, I can't wait to see all of them. Destructible environments is what I hoped for on Melee (where you could hit something and it would break and so on), it would be a dream come true if they really did make this into the next Super Smash Bros game.
The fully customizable characters would be super. Not just the look from the 80's or 90's. But being able to add different things to it. Like Link could have a Fire Bow or a Ice Bow and so on. If that were so then it would be great. The different modes would also be nice. I would like to see a battle in Paper Mode. And this being online would be the best of all. I know everyone was hoping that Melee would be online (everyone would love to battle friends and kick their butts and go back and rub it in XD). If this next one was then the game would more or less not get old. Over time you battle 9's and they get old. But if it was online then new fighting styles would come in, new character looks would come in and so on. It would be really hard to get bored of this game.


I really hope all this stuff will be in the Nintendo Revolution. If so then I would rethink my plans on getting the X360 (I was thinking about getting one) and not put down the Revolution. Because if all them stuff came with the Revolution then it would be beyond my wildest dreams for a game system.

^I didn't think of that. It would be hard to refrain from slamming my controller on my bed though. (I do that alot) XD

No clue who this Aries is or where this is from. It's not official to begin with, so I'd naturally be sceptical of it, but the fact that something like this hasn't even made to it any of the gaming news sites yet just hits the head on the nail.

Be that as it may, none of this is actually that new. It's all pretty much been said through past rumours (and my Revolution thread). The only things that I see as new is that it says the controllers WILL be wireless. The last rumour I had said there will be wireless ones, but not out of the box. I like the Smash Bros. info. Would be interesting if it's true.

I have never heard anything about the pressure feature, but it sounds pretty cool. My wish for the revolution is that they will make it appeal to older gamers, not just younger ones. I think the Gamecube could've done a little bit better, and for the most part i think the DS is doing a good job. I am excited about the Halo killer (if it is true) because i am frekin sick and tired about hearing about Halo2 day in and day out. It really gets old after awhile.
