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
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.
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
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.
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.
