The site is a little iffy but:
http://news.spong.com/detail/news.asp?prid=9080
I\'m a little excited. I\'m really really curious why developers who\'ve seen a preview of it, time and again, end up giving good quotes for it. And its nice to know that I might finally be able to know what it really is. Speculation begins now:
I think it\'ll have an analog stick on both sides, d-pad below the right analog stick, touch screen in the middle aaannd the the thing can exert some tiliting force thanks to the gyroscope. AAANND I remember my dad used to quickly raise the NES controller when he wanted mario to jump even though he knew the movement had absolutley no effect on anything. Maybe the Revolution\'s controller will have a little accelerometer and detect its own movements which will then be used as an input parameter.
Wormormle.

It\'ll be fun to see what the Revolution really is and whether or not it\'ll be a ... revolution. :sconf:
I think it\'ll either disappoint greatly or be a big pleasent surprise. Fun times indeed.
-
I always end up getting the Nintendo system regardless.
It\'s just something I have to have.
-
maybe it\'s.........free! :)
-
Doubt I\'ll be hugely disappointed simply because Nintendo sucks at hyping stuff up. :) Not looking forward to that much with the Revolution.

nintendo needs to drop a bomb on the industry and retail this thing for $199 with a pack in mario game

I agree a 110%. If Nintendo done this, it would gurantee sales and establish them in the "next generation" (if you even want to call it that!) early on.
-
That could totally be a possibility. They\'ve been living the pricing thing for years now and they\'ve been working on a Mario game for years as well. Mario 128 and maybe another title, as well.
Nintendo has also been experimenting more with pack-in games again lately. Metroid, SSB:M.
Nintendo might really come out swinging here.
We\'ll see.

The only aspect of this unveiling that excites me is to finally get a glimpse at there new said to be revolutionary controller. Nintendo is known to be a true innovator when it comes to designing a game pad as we used to call them back in the day.
Hopefully it\'s not going to disappoint like the Cube\'s controller.
-
People have predicted such off-the-wall thing that when it turns out to be a normal controller with one or two new features (tilt-sensor, small touchscreen) that it might seem underwhelming.
But that\'s what I\'m hoping for. Something simple and standard with a couple cool new things to try out.

I tend to agree. Fact is, if anything hurts Nintendo at this point, it will be simlpy be the name...Revolution. It gives people wild idea\'s and if it is just a minor step up, people are goin\' to be dissapointed. Personally, I hope to see some sort of innovation like the SNES controller and the N64 controller. Both defined and refined gaming controllers.
As far as a pack in game, it\'d be a great idea, but I doubt it happens. Oh and speakin\' of Mario 128, what\'s the latest on that title? It\'s been in development hell since pre-launch.
-
I\'ve been hearing two things. Gyroscopic movement/feedback and trackball with force feedback. Nothing TOO out of this world but somewhat revolutionary nonetheless.
My main worry is that the controller does eventually get revealed and the big revolution is another "digital click" on the shoulder buttons. That was the worst innovation ever.
Developers are saying that the Revolution is extremely easy to devlop for and that could be a big plus for them. Especially since developers aren\'t actually enjoying devloping for the multi core processors of the PS3 and Xbox 360. They won\'t regain the top position but I think they will be a definate "player" this generation.
-
Yeah have a launch would be classic Nintendo, possibly bringing back everyone who ever bought a SNES or NES and were engrossed with those Mario games(and who didn\'t like them?). Smash Bros would be another decent launch title if Mario isn\'t ready. Huge leap from the n64 to the GameCube version. Definitely one of the top 5 or 3 best game the system has.
I wouldn\'t doubt the controller is motion censored. I think there\'s a GBA or DS game using that technology already.
-
If Smash Brothers is a launch title I\'m getting a revolution at launch. I didn\'t buy a Gamecube until SSB:M came out and I still play it to this day. One of the best party games EVER. Right up there with Goldeneye, Madden, and WCW vs NWO Revenge.
-

There are a few tilt \'n\' control games for the GBA. I\'m not sure how it will translate into every day gaming use tho\'. Much like the touchscreen for the GB DS, it mostly translates into a gimmick for lazy developers.

i think the revolution thing is stupid, and screams of gimmick
just gimme mario 64 with better graphics and more levels and i\'m satisfied
-
Ahh a man of refined tastes. Uninspired sequels.
-Dan
//would also like Mario 64 2

they really added new levels?
eik, you know me, im all for innnovation
but mario is mario
gotta have it
-
OMG!! OMG!! OMG!!
I don\'t care...
-
then you\'re not really gay the, are you naty.
wait...
/me run

Why the damn holy hell do you guys still read articles from spong? Have you learned nothing?
-
mm, Mario 64 DS was pretty lousy. They added minigames and a shittier control scheme.
And more characters that you never bother with.
Sunshine had some cool ideas like the old-school levels in 3D, but the whole water thing kind of took away from the fun of playing a Mario game.
We\'ll see what comes down the pike next.
There\'s been no word on Mario 128 except for two rumors. One is that it\'s become a true sequel to Mario 64.
The other is that it is still somehow based on the tech demo showing tons of little Marios running around. This was put into use for Pikmin, but from Miyamoto interviews, I get the feeling he\'s still working with this idea for Mario.
Who knows.
I\'m waiting for the new Mario DS game that\'s a 3D sidescroller.
That\'s the way to be.

are you still looking for a boyfriend?!?!

fuck I need a new keyboard, missing letters everywhere!
*you\'re not really gay then*

I never bothered with Mario DS, due to the crap ass control scheme. Not sure why Nintendo did not take the time to develop a new Mario title that took advantage of the DS.
As for Sunshine , other than the old school levels that game was a complete diaster. I couldn\'t be bothered to go thru it.
-
Sunshine had its moments. The game lacked a little bit of everything that could of made it much more. No big environments was my biggest disapointed. It was like Mario64 2.
I did like the water pack though. Every 3D platform game needs some kind of "double jump trick". The rail fight against giant bowser was decent too.

It is one of those games that sometimes I feel compelled to give another shot (i.e, Resident Evil 3 / Eternal Darkness) but never can really get into.

And we drift off topic.
But I remember ED. I played through that game three times in a row.
Too bad it was never followed up by Too Human or anything.

I remember being hyped for ED, buyin\' it the mintue it came out (literally, I waited on the UPS truck at EBGAMES), comin\' home and findin\' a subpar game underneath it all.
:mad:
-
Yeah it was kind of cool...but then not so cool. The last few hours of the game was just so boring running around forever in that dumb ass demon city. The only thing I found special was the non action parts like running around the house with that chick.
It was easy too...I mean I don\'t remember if I died or not cause it\'s almost impossible to get hit by most of the mobs.

Erectile Dysfunction?

Hey leave him alone. It\'s hard for him to get excited about anything...
