Actually for the Pokemon games on the Rev, I would want to see something different besides the "Dark Pokemon" theme because it is kind of running dry for me, I think people might agree that we would like to see a "Proper" RPG game like the GBA but in Rev graphics.. that would be sweet, but one thing that makes me think, is if there was a Pokemon on the Rev, how would the incorperate controllers functions into it?. What would swinging it around make your character do?. Would you actually be able to take out your Pokeball and choose whether Pokemon stay outside it or not?. Would you be able to control Pokemon on HM moves like Cut, by swinging it to make the Pokemon cut the object?. That last one is kind of intriguing to think about. But if they can revolutionise the controller, wouldn't you like to see the revolutionise a Pokemon game?.. Take it to a new level?, a whole new level of involvement to make you feel depper into the world of Pokemon, I am intrigued by thinking this.

Well that is just my opinion XD

ME ME!!! I got GBA, GBC(my first, got it before GBA came out), and 2 GameCubes. ;3

Yay Kayota is here!
*hugs* ^_^

I prefer the DS to the PSP, what has the PSP got that the DS hasn't: music and movies? - get a flash cart or play yan. Graphics - who cares? The DS has touch screen and a mic so pooo on the PSP XD But I still wouldn't throw a PSP away if someone bought it me ^_^

Im gonna get an Xbox 360 and a Rev, unless I win the lottery to get enough money for all three, I don't think Ill get a PS3, unless it has something the 360 hasn't :P

I have a modded Xbox, but when I get the 360, if its fully backwards compatible, Ill probably change my original Xbox into a computer lol Or maybe just use it as a media center....I dunno XD

I can't wait to use the revs controller as a sword and a gun ^_^

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

O_O; Sword and gun controllers? NOW THAT'LL ROCK!!

Well, the president DOES have some nice mind teaking ideas. Yes, that's gonna be awesome too. Too awesome probably, but yeah. Awesome enough. *dies*

It's all about the REVOLUTION!!!!!

The REVO spells out game OVER for the competition. Believe it!!!

XD That's good. It should go into a banner or something.

Hmm... revo... over... interesting... if true... XD. Ahh... stuff you with picadillo PSP.. my bro has it and... the only good thing I can see it is its graphics... and of course... FIFA!!!!!!!! o_O... My bro will buy the 360 and PS3... I will buy the N-Revolution!!!! and once again... we will have the new generation of the three consoles!!!! XD. Geez... that new controller... gave my bro a whole new opinion about Nintendo... WOOO!!!

I hope that's a good option.

I just hope I don't run out of time when typing this (because I should be doing my school work and not be on the internet). XD

Anyway I do agree that the "Dark Pokemon" and "Mini-RPG" thing is getting old. I also want a full RPG like you find on the handhelds. Not just something like they did in Pokemon Col and I guess what they are going to do in Pokemon XD. Pokemon rules the hand held RPGs (for any hand held). But the GC Pokemon RPG games more or less sucked. On the Rev they need to take a normal RPG like you find on the hand helds and put it on the Rev.
And not only put it on the Rev, but make it online. Who wouldn't want to battle their friends online with their team? Everyone is always going "Well I got the beat team out there". If it was online then all them people could put their money where their mouth is and see if it really is the "best".
Well to me, the rev controller should be used like it is on the hand helds. But maybe you could hook up a mic to the controller and say the attacks and stuff. Like "Pikachu, Thunder | Pikachu, return" etc. Maybe that way it would be a real time RPG. Turn Base is ok, but I would like a real time Pokemon battle like they do on the show. It's something I've wanted to do for years. And I think it might also pull in new and old Pokemon fans (old as in the ones that doesn't have anything to do with Pokemon anymore).

Well, the president DOES have some nice mind teaking ideas. Yes, that's gonna be awesome too. Too awesome probably, but yeah. Awesome enough. *dies*

No, I meant, use them AS guns and swords in games, not gun and sword style controllers.....but they will probably do that too ^_^

But I don't think Play-Yan is out yet outside of Japan (but I might be wrong).

What I want on the Rev is a nice FPS. Using the controller as a gun will be really sweet for FPS games.

 

[Electric Hero]

I saw in the video when the kiddo used it as a sword... I loved it... also I don't remember well, but my bro says you can use it as a gun... oh that would be so sweeeet... XD. In a Resident Evil game... using the controller as a shotgun will rock!!! XD.

 

[pokejungle]

I really want the Play Yan +_+; It'd be awesome to use on my DS <33

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Eh, don't you get that being a Ninja on it would rock? You could do all complicated moves just the way you want, and hit your enemies where it hurts the most.

Meh, I'd like to see Megaman Zero like that. *dies*

Yea on that video you see someone using it as a gun.
I can't wait to play first-person shooters. I think it'd be stupid for third-party game makers that makes first-person shooters to not go with the Rev. I know the controls will be way different but it's way better. And I also think it'd be stupid for people who love first-person shooters to not go with the Rev.

I really want the Play Yan +_+; It'd be awesome to use on my DS <33

Well import it from Japan. XD
Flash-Memory Cards (I think that's what it uses) are really really low on price. I mean my dad got a 128 MB card for his new HP digital camera (for all of you that don't know, most of our stuff is HP. 2 digital cameras, 3 printers, and 3 computers XD) and it was only 20 dollars. A 32 MB Memory Stick Duo (what the PSP uses) from Sony is 25 dollars. So maybe the Flash Memory Cards are good.

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Meh by the way. Has any of you played Boktai? Its in GBA, but Konami made it. o_o;

 

[azn_trainer]

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

^^; You can join, but I'm sure it'll be a no for you.

Why? Arcy won't let you, and Tyler will probably wanna keep his position.

Here is a little something off of GameSpot, it's their rumor thing.

RUMOR #3: The technical specs for Nintendo's revolution console have been revealed...again. Source: The G4 Forums by way of Ars Technica.

The official story: "Nintendo does not comment on rumors or speculation."--Nintendo spokesperson.

What we heard: The latest Revolution spec leak got a lot of play on popular PC site Ars Technica, and later on the ubiquitous Gizmodo. But it all stems from a G4 forum poster who goes by the oh-so-original handle "Han Solo," who was, according to his profile, an "insider" at developer Factor 5. A formerly GameCube-exclusive studio, Factor 5 has since branched out to other platforms and recently unveiled its first next-generation console game: Lair for the PlayStation 3. That said, according to studio president Julian Eggebrecht, "Any talk of us abandoning Nintendo platforms altogether is just not true." So, chances are that if the shop doesn't already have a Revolution dev kit, it has at least been debriefed on the console's capabilities.

So what did Solo say? He claims that the center of the console will be a dual-threaded IBM Custom PowerPC 2.5GHz with 256KB L1 cache and 1MB of L2 cache, 512MB of 700 MHz 1T-SRAM, 32MB RAM linked to the CPU and GPU, and a PPU (Physical Processing Unit). The GPU will be an "ATI Custom-based RN520 core"--the R520 being the code name for ATI's soon-to-be-revealed new graphics processor and the "N" standing for Nintendo--which will run at 600MHz and support up to 2048x1268 resolution. It will have 32 parallel floating-point dynamically scheduled shader pipelines, a polygon performance of 500 million triangles per second, and be capable of around 50 billion shader operations per second.

How legitimate does all that sound? One hardware expert contacted by GameSpot harbored doubts. "Unless Nintendo hopes for a die shrink by the time of the launch, the Revolution would hardly have the air flow necessary to cool off that stuff," he said. "If its anything like ATI's current-gen architecture, even their low-end parts have pretty beefy fan cooling." However, another hardware insider was more optimistic: "It looks very plausible. The PPU stuff is interesting. It'll be a helluva lot easier on developers--that is, if the Nintendo tools don't suck."

Bogus or not bogus?: Plausible? Yes. Actual? TBD.

I wonder how "true" them specs are.

I guess we're tied then. XD

I guess so. XD

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Meh, what? I hope that's true...

Eh, well then can I get to be the Co-Owner? PWEESE! *dies*

 

[Newten5]

What about me? I would make a great co-owner XD

I saw that rumor specs thing on gamespot.........It does make the mind ponder.......
I also read somewhere else that Nintedo have actually made far more money out of the GBA than the GC, interesting....

Oh and has anyone seen any of the LoZ: Twighlight Princess movies? MAN THAT GAME ROCKS!!! ^_^

Broken It Through The Television!

Nintendo brings up remote controllers home!

------

Nintendo really knows how to do things. With just the unveiling of the controller of its upcoming console, codenamed the Nintendo Revolution, the gaming giant practically revolutionized the concept of "playing games". Suddenly games are more natural and engaging then ever.

The controller is a stylized remote-control-like device designed to be used with only one hand. Two small sensors placed near the TV and a chip inside the controller tracks its position and orientation, allowing the player to manipulate the action on screen by physically moving the controller itself.

What this actually translates to is that, for example, you could slash an in-game sword by actually swinging the controller from side to side! Turn a race car just by rotating the controller like a steering wheel, or aim your gun in a shooter by pointing the controller where you want to fire. Or swish and flick a wand in an RPG. You can even wield two independent guns each player can use two of these controllers at a time. The possibilities are endless!

The new controller has very few buttons: it doesn't really need them. There are a few, of course: your thumb can rest on a directional pad or large A button, and your index finger curls around to grip the B trigger on the underside. Then there are smaller a and b buttons on the far side of the controller, which means by just turning it 90 degrees you can use it as a traditional controller. There are also "Start" and "Select" buttons in the middle, with another "Home" button, but we don't what that does. You can also turn the console on or off with a Power button at the top. For multiplayer sessions, LEDs light up in the bottom to tell to which player the controller belongs to. In addition, secondary attachments such as an analogue stick can be plugged in for added functionality in future hit Nintendo titles.

Of course, this isn't the first time Nintendo introduced radically different concepts into gaming. Starting from the game-pad itself (before Nintendo introduced it, there were only joysticks), to the D-Pad, analogue stick, rumble pack and the recent DS with it's touch screen, Nintendo's always been the one who'd take risks and bring innovative concepts into the gaming world. And they've been successful. (Well, mostly successful: the all-red dual-screened seizure-inducing Virtual Boy that tried to give gamers "a taste of virtual reality" was a failure.) Over time, the competitors, followed Nintendo and added those features into their systems.

According to Shigeru Miyamoto, the man who keeps Nintendo cool, they've developed this radically new concept to reach out to a new audience. "We want a system that takes advantage of new technology for something that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can pick up and play. [Something with a] gameplay style that people who have never played games can pick up and not be intimidated by. [We aimed for something] that is simple enough for everyone," he says, "but also something that people who've been playing games for years will be satisfied with."

The gaming industry's reaction has been positive so far. Whether the third-party developers shower the Revolution with first-rate titles is yet to be seen, but as Nintendo's strength has always been its internal development teams, it's safe to assume that the Revolution will offer compelling gameplay experiences to go along with its unique control system.

And if you're still no impressed, log on to Ign.com and see this fantastic controller in action: https://doiop.com/RevController

Recently, an anonymous Factor 5 employee leaked some technical specifications of the Revolution console. This same guy nailed the Xbox 360 specifications before they were released, so there might be some substance in this rumor:

"The brains of the console are rumoured to be a single dual-threaded IBM "custom" PowerPC 2.5 GHz CPU. The system will also sport a Physical Processing Chip (PPU) with 32MB of dedicated RAM, while the CPU itself will saddled up next to 512MB of system RAM.

The custom ATI GPU solution is rumoured to consist of a RN520 600MHz core, backed with 256MB of RAM." Pretty impressive, isn't it? We'll now just have to wait till 2006 to see if the console is really as good as it sounds.

Yup, these all were in one of our local kids 'n' teens magazines. It looks AWESOME. Well, there, most of those MBs and RAM and stuff are in there, even though I have no idea what they are for. Imagine this now.

I WAVE THAT REMOTE IN THE AIR, AND ZERO SLASHES THEM LIKE ME!
I ~AM~ MEGAMAN ZERO! *gets hit by Sony people*

 

[Electric Hero]

o_O.... that's so true... Nintendo is the best of the best!!!! Sony with Playstation and Microsoft with Xbox are copycats!!! if they copy this idea of this new controller, that's it.... they are ruined... I hope that if they do try to do the same controller, people just think "copycats! I'm not going to buy your games now you bunch of copycats!! I stick with Nintendo!" .... oh yeah... my bro told me you could use both the main controller and the control stick together like if you you were driving, just push for gas and pull for brake... geez.... I NEED it... I MUST have it.... o_O....

 

[Arcanine]

I guess we're tied then. XD

WAIT!!! What the heck am I talking about? I don't got 50 games. I got 81 games, and counting them two doubles that makes 83. I don't know what I was thinking that day. XD

Meh, what? I hope that's true...

Eh, well then can I get to be the Co-Owner? PWEESE! *dies*

What about me? I would make a great co-owner XD

Guys, I never said I was going to get more Co-Owners or get rid of any. If I want to add more then I'll pick who I want. XD

I saw that rumor specs thing on gamespot.........It does make the mind ponder.......

~Newten5

I hope it's real, and I also hope them specs are powerful.
Nope I haven't seen any of the movies. I haven't been keeping track of much stuff lately.


LanceLite and MaxMan's long post: Reading all that and remindeding me of the controller makes me wonder about it's type of games and stuff. I can't wait to play the Rev. XD

Max Hunter: You'll always have the Sony and Microsoft fanboys/girls out there that will love Sony/Microsoft and bash Nintendo no matter what (then again Nintendo also has them XD).

Amen... XD. Now that you mention it... my friend is a fanboy of Xbox... but don't worry... I'm this close to make him realize that Nintendo is better.... and my bro was an Xbox fan, but Nintendo made him changed sides just with the controller XD. Powerful Nintendo, oh mighty Nintendo, I will follow you forever! I still would follow you to the end of the world! and into a black hole too!!! XD.

Anyway, here in Mexico, not so many people know about the Rev's controller, the video-games magazines haven't showed the new news of the Revolution... think so... I hope they show it next month... I will become president and make everyone play Nintendo! MWAHAHAHAHA!!! geez... I'm so evil...
