I'm keeping a diaper just in case Nintendo shows something at E3 that makes me have an accident.

wtf? Your too old for them plus they are too small for u.. Lol..

Say Nintendo will have some surprises in store for all.. just wait..

**Jester** · 04-02-2006, 02:15 PM

On the contrary el banned-o, they make adult diapies...for those who suffer from incontence. Asian travelers use them when they are on crowded trains and can't find a lav...but I digress...I'm was a Nintendo person...now I'm consol-less and just play on my PC...any reason I should get new GBA games (I own one of those) or get the Cube or DS?

(NOTE: Though they make adult diapers for incontenence, I don't thinki there is a remedy fo incompetence.

Did you get that from The Ricky Gervais Show?

Resident Evil came out for the DS last Friday over here, man I wish I could pick up that game (if only I wasn't broke). I know some people here hate the original (I don't, loved it back in '96, still love it now... though REmake is better) but has anyone played the DS version and what did they think of it?

There's a ton of great GBA games like "Mario & Luigi", the two Metroid games, "Zelda: Minish Cap" and the Castlevania games. The DS is TOTALLY worth its money (too many awesome games to mention them here) but if you're interested in buying it, wait for the DS Lite which has a much brighter screen and a sexy design. I wouldn't buy a Cube at this point, save the money for the Nintendo Revolution. It (hopefully) won't be more expensive than 200$ at most and it plays all GC games plus you can play SNES and NES classics on it via Nintendo's new "Virtual Console" online service.

Dinny · 04-03-2006, 06:09 AM

Aren't N64 games also available for download over the service?

**Barkworm** · 04-03-2006, 07:59 AM

Sure, I somehow forgot to mention that.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-03-2006, 01:12 PM

As well as Genesis, Turbograph-16/PC Engine, and possibly Atari's arade library if I 'm hearing correctly. It's every hit from 1974-1995.

The Gamecube ran a Model 2 Emulator, so I'm going to pray that Sega puts an online enabled (or faked Net Link) version of Daytona USA up for download. The Arcade rom was only like 8MB total, so it would be smaller than most N64 games. Com'on Sega, give me Daytona.

The "Pilotwings at Revo launch" rumor is starting up again. I hope it's true this time because the other two ruled and were show horses for their respective consoles.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-07-2006, 03:52 PM

I could definately see a Pilotwings title launching with Revo. Frankly, I think it'd be great, they could do some visually amazing things with it.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-07-2006, 04:52 PM

Imagine Pilotwings, Rouge Squadron, or Star Fox with the Revmote used as a flight stick. Blithering amazing concept.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-07-2006, 05:51 PM

Ladies and retards, I present to you the first official screenshots from a Revolution game, OVER A MONTH BEFORE E3!

All I can say is......sweet mother of fu*k. No more doubtful talk about what the hardware is capable of, kthxbye

Peanut · 04-07-2006, 06:07 PM

Like I said on MSN, dude. Amazing. I guess we can put to rest the Revolution looking crappy. It looks better than PDZ.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-07-2006, 10:12 PM

Possible IGN Confirmation that new content will be distributed on the Virtual Console
------------

Quote Perrin Kaplan:

http://revolution.ign.com/articles/696/696892p1.html

Revolution will succeed on its own merits and you'll soon be able to experience this for yourself, first-hand, at E3. Virtual console simply adds a new dimension to the entire experience. As you know, you'll have downloadable access to great games from the NES, S-NES and Nintendo 64 eras, as well as the Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx. Beyond that, virtual console will also offer developers a new vehicle to showcase new games and activities on Revolution. We're looking forward to sharing more information with you in the near future.

I think that can be taken pretty much taken as a confirmation that we will be seeing new content (indie games, expansions, other) distributed via virtual console and not just the classic stuff alone.

**Barkworm** · 04-08-2006, 01:27 AM

AWESOME! This looks tons better than PDZ. Hopefully it will look just as good in motion.

*Mecha Cow* · 04-08-2006, 10:30 AM

I saw those before, but I didn't realise they were actual screenshots. I thought they were mockups or something. Good to know the Revolution will be able to produce the 'next-gen' graphics the mainstream public craves.

As for the virtual console, it sounds amazing. I think it's exactly what the industry needs (A way for small studios to get their games out to the public). Hopefully it will do for gaming what the internet did for writing.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-08-2006, 02:10 PM

Yeah, XBLive Arcade would be doing it too, but they haven't put out jack since launch and delayed Street Fighter II. Let's hope Nintendo/Microsoft get on the ball. I want new Arcade shooters released through this system since nobody would publish them in this day and age.

-Their main goal was to revive the Japanese market. The DS was to be the first shot at this (and it has clearly succeeded).
-Art direction can be just as expressive as photo-realistic graphics. He mentions that the Simpsons wouldn't be nearly as funny if it was live action
-Revolution will be a multiple of the GC in terms of capibilities
-Nintendo is still deciding what will be packed in the Revolution. Right now a controller and a nunchuk add on will be, but Nintendo is thinking about adding another controller as well. No mention of the shell
-Nintendo is shooting for a worldwide Revolution launch this year
-"Clearly, for us, the Japanese market might be the most important - it's the home market, it's the chance to reset the clock to the main competition, which is Sony"
-On price, as compared to the 360: "Yes, our goal is to come in at a slightly more mass market price"
-Nintendo is considering some like XBL Marketplace
-Harrison mentions that they learned a lot of lessons from the PS2. In terms of having a wide variety of software and the fact that the strongest tech doesn't always win
-"The other thing we recognized is that you really make your reputation in the first year. You've got to deliver software, not just at launch, but you've got to deliver software in the first six to nine months after launch. It has to be solid software. In GC, we didn't have that, we had kind of a drought for six months after it launched. By that time your reputation starts to solidify and it's hard to reverse that after awhile."
-$50 games will not be the standard on the Revolution, although he does say that there could be some games that cost $60
-Compares the challenges Nintendo has in terms of marketing the Revolution to those it had marketing the...Virtual Boy
-You can't simply show gameplay or people won't see the difference. He mentions that game commercials used to show people on their couch playing the game, and that the industry moved away from that. He says Nintendo might get more into that with Revolution marketing
-Nintendo still hasn't chosen a cost barrier for the Revolution's Virtual Console
-Possibly 20 games at launch. He says they haven't seen many of the games licensees have
-"Maybe a third will be Nintendo games"
-Red Steel is a Revolution launch title, and will broaden appeal like GoldenEye 64 did
-"We had no choice but to be succesful with the DS."

I smell $250 at launch which is sh*t, but for everything else, DAAAAAMN. Twenty games at launch (window) plus the entire library of video gaming hits from 1972-1995, plus some gems past that and original Virtual Console content has killer launch potential. Here's hoping Mario is there. Gamecube suffered without him. Still, I wonder what all those games are. It's going to be a killer E3. Killer. The possibility of $60 PISSES me off, but I know we can blame third parties for that. Nintendo's stuff should stay at $50 as promised.

Wierd, NIntendo fully admitting their mistakes, talking about how to negate them, and being realistic about the gaming world as a whole. Hell has frozen over. George used to spew total sh*t all the time. Makes me proud to support Nintendo. This is going to be good. I can just feel it now.

Peanut · 04-09-2006, 12:18 AM

I think the potential of the virtual console is enough to blow the Revolution's sales through the roof. They should definately use that as a main selling point. There isn't anything that can compete with Nintendo games for quality and having every single Nintendo classic at your fingertips on one console...it's like a wet dream! I'm so hyped up over the Revolution. It's going to be so awesome.
