neomon: You sure? I mean I could beat 3 level 9's on SSB and SSBM back in my day (I haven't played SSBM in some time but I can get back into it real easy). XD

Paul: I go to GameSpot. I joined there to get downloads on trailers etc. And IGN just takes way way way too long to load on dial-up.

Paul: I go straight to the source, www.e3insider.com - it has video tours (which are great), latest news, and images over EVERYTHING displayed at e3.

OK, here's what i think about this whole "smaller" issue:
I definately agree with Arcy in saying that i would rather have a larger size in exchange for more power. However, there is a certain point when you use more power than necessary, and make the console larger for the unecessary power. the xbox360 is a great example of that. they say you can pretty much use it as a computer, and the model that does that will be quite large. BUT WHY?!?! its not like its that portable, so why not just go in the next room and get on your computer? you have to transfer the files to the xbox from your computer, so why bother transferring it at all (so that you can watch movies on your xbox that you already have on your computer?). So yes, i would sacrifice size for power, but if you can harness a NECESSARY amount of power in a smaller size, thats all the better. Now of course, without the specs being released, i can't say whether Nintendo harnessed the necessary amount of power, especially conisdering they haven't said which aspect of the rev. is 3 times more powerful that the gamecube - processor, video card, sound card, etc. So that may be a little misleading. Overall, i have been pleased with nintendo so far, and their "gaming comes standard; extra features can be added on" approach (for example, with the PSP [just an example], it comes at $100 more because it can play movies, pics, songs, UMD movies, etc, which is great, but not everyone will utalize those features. So nintendo just has the hardcore gaming features comes standard, and then releases the "extra" features in add-on hardware [like the DS media player]. This is great for those who just want the gaming, but also satifies those who like nintendo but also want the extra features). Of course everything we say so far is speculation, but from what i have heard, as long as it keeps up "to standard" in relation to the other systems, i don't care if it is smaller and sacrifices the ability to be used as a frekin computer. but thats just my stand.

In other information, the Revolution will have a small hard drive (512 megs, if i remember correctly), but is to have graphics close to that of the ps3 and xbox360. also, i was watching g4, and the nintendo manager of sales released this "hint" of the revolution's controller: "Well, over the years, Nintendo has had many controllers, and they have all looked and worked very different. So here's what i can tell you: think of how we could make all those controllers come together and work to play all the games over the years. This is all i can tell you until we show it." So based on this, what do you guys think?

Finally, since SSBM DS is just in the works, i believe it will be online, because if they haven't realeased its name on the upcoming list, it will be released after the DS goes online, giving me reason to believe it will be online. and sure i'll play you all, but i'll probably get killed (its been so long since i've picked up SSBM, but i used to be pretty good).

^Interesting quote about the controllers, but it kind of confuses me. The first Nintendo (I think) had only a D-pad, start/select buttons, and a/b buttons. So throughout the generations they have added buttons such as R/L, analog stick, y/x, etc. So if this new controller ultimately is just a combination of past controllers. wouldn't it be just like the current Gamecube one? (Sorry if I'm not making any sense here) XD

I mean I could beat 3 level 9's on SSB and SSBM back in my day
^Level 9's are super mega easy. No offense, but by the sound of it so far, I could be all of your butts in SSBM. XD

I agree with that. I just hope Nintendo doesn't cut themself short by not adding a few things to the Revolution (I think it might have a DVD player on it). I never got a DVD player for my room because of 1 thing. My PS2 has a DVD player. What started me to get the PS2 was that I wanted a DVD player in my room. I just didn't want some DVD player, I wanted something a little better then a DVD player, so I got a PS2. I just hope Nintendo adds a few more things to the Revolution then just games (a DVD player is good, but kind of late).

In other information, the Revolution will have a small hard drive (512 megs, if i remember correctly), but is to have graphics close to that of the ps3 and xbox360. also, i was watching g4, and the nintendo manager of sales released this "hint" of the revolution's controller: "Well, over the years, Nintendo has had many controllers, and they have all looked and worked very different. So here's what i can tell you: think of how we could make all those controllers come together and work to play all the games over the years. This is all i can tell you until we show it." So based on this, what do you guys think?
For me I hope the Revolution saves stuff to memory cards and not a hard drive (that is also far too small to save stuff on).
I also watched that on G4.
But I really have no idea what to make of it. I can't think of a controller that can work with all the games. But if anyone can do it then I know Nintendo can. I can't wait to see what it looks like.

Finally, since SSBM DS is just in the works, i believe it will be online, because if they haven't realeased its name on the upcoming list, it will be released after the DS goes online, giving me reason to believe it will be online. and sure i'll play you all, but i'll probably get killed (its been so long since i've picked up SSBM, but i used to be pretty good).
I think it will also be online. But you shouldn't dismiss yourself so quick. Playing on a handheld isn't the same as playing with a controller. I'll be getting it, I've seen a few games that I want for the DS.

^Level 9's are super mega easy. No offense, but by the sound of it so far, I could be all of your butts in SSBM. XD
Is that 1 level 9 or 3 level 9's? XD

>>I'm quite excited for any online SSB title. Whether its the DS version that we are all hoping for, or the Revolution title, its sure to be awesome. We could just call it SSBO [Super Smash Bros: Online] for now >>;
Quite indeed Katsuro... SSBO... cool... but we still don't know anything. We make the initials when we know how the name will be called. That way everyone will know about what game are we talking about.
LOOK AT ME!!!!! Good! now... leave me alone! XD

Yes, you both can join. I doubt they would call it SSBO, though, as Nintendo prefers to have more creative titles, or just go with the traditional GAME TITLE + DS = Super Smash Brothers DS.

Bass, thaks for the info but everyone already knows that, in fact it will be backwards compatible with every Nintendo console game ever made.

Yeah, i think Arcy is right in saying that if anyone could pull it off, Nintendo could. After all, that is what they do best. But another thing, maybe this is just me, but it seems that in the e3 hype everyone has forgot that Nintendo has continued with their message: "We will not show much of the Revolution's innovations, in fear of them being stolen." It seems that everyone forgot that there is still MUCH more to come from the Rev, and the "Ultimate Backwards Compatibility" is not going to be the marketing point of the Revolution. People just assume that it will be the main feature of the Revolution, and forgot all about Nintendo's promise to "Revolutionize the way people play video games." I myself am guilty of this, and just realized it as i was reading through the messages. The specs and controller aren't the only thing yet to be released, there are plenty of promises that have yet to be fufilled. So if we have been finding ways to hold up the Revolution against the PS3 and XBOX360 so far, imagine how much ground we will have to stand on when all of its features come out, for PS3 and XBOX360 have revealed all of their major features, and won't have much left to show. So in reality as of now the Revolution may not be the best system, but unlike the PS3 and XBOX360, it has MUCH more to come. (god, i need to shorten my posts, i doubt people actually read everything i write)

Welcome to the new members to the club.

But another thing, maybe this is just me, but it seems that in the e3 hype everyone has forgot that Nintendo has continued with their message: "We will not show much of the Revolution's innovations, in fear of them being stolen." It seems that everyone forgot that there is still MUCH more to come from the Rev, and the "Ultimate Backwards Compatibility" is not going to be the marketing point of the Revolution. People just assume that it will be the main feature of the Revolution, and forgot all about Nintendo's promise to "Revolutionize the way people play video games." I myself am guilty of this, and just realized it as i was reading through the messages. The specs and controller aren't the only thing yet to be released, there are plenty of promises that have yet to be fufilled. So if we have been finding ways to hold up the Revolution against the PS3 and XBOX360 so far, imagine how much ground we will have to stand on when all of its features come out, for PS3 and XBOX360 have revealed all of their major features, and won't have much left to show. So in reality as of now the Revolution may not be the best system, but unlike the PS3 and XBOX360, it has MUCH more to come.
What should be remembered is, at first we wasn't going to hear anything about the Revolution at E3. Then they said a movie about it would be at E3 and when E3 came out we got to see a prototype of the Revolution. At first Nintendo wasn't going to even have the Revolution at E3.
Sure we haven't heard anything much other then:
It will be able to play GC games. You will be able to download all the NES, SNES & N64 games. It will have wireless controllers (we still don't know how many ports, it might be more then 4, since the PS3 has 7 I'm sure Nintendo will try to get more then 4). As well as a few things like USB ports and memory card slots for something (not sure if it will be Revolution games or not) and maybe a DVD player in it. That's about it.
And like you said, the downloading of the old games is like a side thing to the Rev. I can't wait till Nintendo gets everything out there. The specs, the controller, the add ons, the controller ports etc.
And I can't wait to see the graphics for the Revolution. I was watching G4 the other day and they had the KillZone I think it was, it was on the PS3. I was shocked truely truely shocked by their actual game play mode (you know how you got game play mode and then you got movie mode that looks way better then the game play mode). It looked like movie mode to me, I didn't know it was game play mode till they said it was actual game play. I saw a part on a few 360 games and they were ok, better then what's out right now but nothing like the PS3. But I remembered the next Legend of Zelda game for the GC. That Zelda game looked really really good on graphics. I must say as good as the games I saw on the XBox 360 (the graphics of the games I'm talking about). Now if Nintendo did something like that on the Game Cube (this gen system) then I can't wait to see the graphics of the Rev games (because Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess looked as good as the XBox 360's games, a next gen system).

Hi Steve. I really wondered it you liked Nintendo. I mean, just 'cause you run a forum devoted to a Nintendo registered property, meh, =P

Nintendo specifically said that the shown revolution wasn't their final design. Do any of you have strong opinions about what their design should remove/add from the current prototype?

I think they should add a little thing we all call "Color". There are like 3 colors on a Rev (the system color, the color of the name where it says "Revolution" and the restart buttons etc, and the CD slot color). They need to spice it up a little. I was thinking on both sides have like a strip of white or off white (for the black Rev) and say "Nintendo Revolution" on it.
They also need to put some curves or something on it, because it just looks like removable hard drive or a small DVD player.

yeah, thats a good point. we expected to see just a possible design, but found out that we would see a little more, and now assume "that's it!" And it has been confirmed that the Revoultion will play DVD's (Nintendo's president interview on ign.com).
Yeah, i watched that KillZone demo, and that was frekin awesome!!! I really hope the Revolution will have graphics like that, and i think that's one reason why Nintendo wouldn't show that much - now that everyone has seen the ps3's graphics, there will be 3 little systems running around with graphics of those capabilities, instead of one (or maybe two). Now that microsoft and nintendo know what ps is capable of, they will be striving to match it. I think Nintendo was smart in not showing thier best innoventions. And so far, everyone has been calling the 360 a huge disappointment, even the g4 people were saying microsoft hasn't played off their advantages and aren't targeting a certain audience, and yeah the Zelda demo looked almost as good as the 360. Since Nintendo said the Rev.'s graphics will be MUCH better than that of the GCN, i am VERY excited to see them (though i already saw the ps3's graphics, so i assume that i've seen all of the 3rd gen's graphics)

You're not the only one that makes long posts. I just hope people reads all the stuff we type. XD
yeah, before long we're going to develope carpal tunnel syndrome from the length of our posts.

they said that it may be smaller, but the general design would look the same. Thats good, because i like it, especially the glowing blue CD slot (that is sooooo frekin cool!)
Its ok, Katsuro, most people have more to do than me and don't make their posts as long and boring as mine XD

whew, in making this posts i missed a lot of other posts. yeah, of course you can join (whoever asked, my browser won't display the other posts now - its being weird)

Also, Arcy, curves are nice but we sure don't want it ending up like the 360 - i would stick with the design they have now - its really cool, and i don't want them to take a chance and make sumtin like the 360 XD

yeah, it would be nice to know that the revolution doesn't have to make a [big] jump to reach the graphic capabilities of the ps3. of course, if they aren't already there, then they better get there, because i don't care how big the jump is, i just want to see some sweet graphics (imagine Metroid Prime with the Killzone demo graphics! pwn Halo for life!!!)


I hope it doesn't go any smaller. It's small enough as is, I don't need a system where it's so small I can't see it. XD
yeah, i guess i wouldn't really care if it got just a little bit smaller, but a lot smaller woudl make me kinda nervous about the "necessary" power it could have. and even though it would be cool, there isn't really a need for it to be even smaller. just stick with the same size and put a lot of goodies in it :-)

btw arcy, pokejungle's friend told us in the DS Fanclub that pokejungle left PC for another forum, so i don't know what you want to do about his co-ownership (whether you delete it, replace him, or just leave it, i guess it isn't a huge ordeal)

The size sould be moderate. I mean...big consoles take too much of space. And small consoles can be easily damaged. Moderate sizes are cool... you can see'em and they don't have to have a whole room by itself. The Nintendo Revolution sould be black by the top, a dark grey in the bottom, and the buttons (start, restart, etc.) ... well, you decide what colors XD.

If this was the same general look of the finished revolution, would you rather have it horizontal or vertical? Personally, I like the vertical position better.

And, I guess we could actually talk about Nintendo's other products here too! Are you guys at all excited for the Micro? I'm really excited for it. Most of my friends are too. It looks awesome.

yeah, it would be nice to know that the revolution doesn't have to make a [big] jump to reach the graphic capabilities of the ps3. of course, if they aren't already there, then they better get there, because i don't care how big the jump is, i just want to see some sweet graphics (imagine Metroid Prime with the Killzone demo graphics! pwn Halo for life!!!)
If Metroid was like KillZone and was also a multiplayer and/or online game then Nintendo would have it's Halo game. It would have it's multiplayer shooting game for Nintendo. And that would be another game I would get for the Rev.



yeah, i guess i wouldn't really care if it got just a little bit smaller, but a lot smaller woudl make me kinda nervous about the "necessary" power it could have. and even though it would be cool, there isn't really a need for it to be even smaller. just stick with the same size and put a lot of goodies in it :-)
If it got any smaller then it is now then I fear they won't be able to pack everything in it. I mean I don't want the smallest system in the world. I want a system that will do good but still keep a good size. If they have to make it larger to get more in there then I'm happy about it. But I just hope they won't give up stuff to add to the Revolution just because it might hurt it's small size (like they are going to give up ... to keep the size it is).

btw arcy, pokejungle's friend told us in the DS Fanclub that pokejungle left PC for another forum, so i don't know what you want to do about his co-ownership (whether you delete it, replace him, or just leave it, i guess it isn't a huge ordeal)
So he isn't going to be around anymore? Well I'll remove him from the Co-Owners list and might replace him one day.

The size sould be moderate. I mean...big consoles take too much of space. And small consoles can be easily damaged. Moderate sizes are cool... you can see'em and they don't have to have a whole room by itself. The Nintendo Revolution sould be black by the top, a dark grey in the bottom, and the buttons (start, restart, etc.) ... well, you decide what colors XD.
Well I remember some one posting on PC that they watched on TV where they took a Game Cube, a PS2 and and X-Box and tested stuff on it. Size isn't always tied to breakable stuff. Drop your TV 5 feet off the floor and drop your GBA 5 feet off the floor and see if they both will still work (I bet my money on the GBA).
But to me I would take a big system that does more then a small system that does less.

If this was the same general look of the finished revolution, would you rather have it horizontal or vertical? Personally, I like the vertical position better.

And, I guess we could actually talk about Nintendo's other products here too! Are you guys at all excited for the Micro? I'm really excited for it. Most of my friends are too. It looks awesome.
I like it standing up (if you look at the logo it's level when you stand it up, so it's really meant to be standing up). Having it flat looks like a small DVD player.

And yea we kind of did turn this thread into a Revolution thread. XD
I'm not getting the GBM. Sure it looks nice, but it's way too small for me. And I also got a GBA, an SP and a DS. I just really don't need another system that plays GBA games. I am saving up for the Revolution and the PS3, so no need for me to spend money on something I done more or less have.

yeah, thats what i've been thinking. why make a whole new halo killer when you already have a great one? of course an army type shooting game (metroid isn't exactly a halo type game, considering your not in an army like in halo or killzone) wouldn't be bad, but in addition to the halo killer (which Nintendo said that they are developing) they need to do exactly what arcy said - add a multiplayer online similar to halo2, and you have a great game, especailly since metroid has drawn so many fans (me being a big one).

In a way you are right, but in another way this has been a scare that has got a little out of hand. It is very coincidental, Nintendo releasing the Revolution and saying it will be very small, and releasing the GBM, but i would like to think that Nintendo is smart enough to realize that size and looks aren't everything (look at the DS, a slight bit bulky and not as cool design as the PSP, but it has been wildly popular and has sold beyond their expectations). I think that because of the Rev.'s small size being announced around the time of the GBM, people are fearing that the Revolution will not be as pwrful as the ps3 and 360 because of its size, but i think that this may be simply a coincidence, and nintendo has found a way to harness all the power that they need in a small design without the extra crap. I think that even though it may be small, we need to trust nintendo and realize that they will please us, and change the way we play video games, no matter how big or small it is.

Finally, in response to the GBM, i will get it simply because i have nothing else to ask for for my b-day (besides a nu basketball), and it will be something i will carry around with me everywhere, when i only bring my DS when i know i will use it. i may have already mentioned this, but i see waht nintendo was doing in making a handheld you can slip in your pocket and pull it out whenever you feel like using it, and you can use the gba media player to carry songs or movies with you on a tiny screen.
