Nintendo Revolution...
 

Click Here for some Info

I have seen the PS3 and XBOX 360, and am not impressed. I will buy them however, but the system I am personally looking forward to is this one. Although it is a little caddywompus, it looks sleek. AND, whats more, is that it ONLY PLAYS GAMES. No, "Velocity Girl making stickers and skateparks, or Mom talking to Grandma through the thing." And the best feature? Being able to download EVERY SINGLE GAME from thier older systems. Now for the younger generation, this means nothing. But for us older gamers, we no longer have to search across the country or pay some nerd 300 bucks for a copy of Chrono Trigger or Secret of Mana, but only a small fee and download the game, and then play it on the Revolution. Sure, PS3 has Killzone 2, and XBOX 360 has Halo 3, but what could Nintendo possibly have, right? Well, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that there WILL be a game for each of its super famous characters (Mario, Samus, Link) and 2 will be available at launch....and even better, Nintendo is pushing to get Super Smash Bros 3 ready for launch. Now, that is alone makes me wanna get it. And for the record, I AM NOT A NINTENDO FANBOY!!! I have a PS2 and XBOX as well as a Gamecube, but in this round, Nintendo just seems to be the only one staying dedicated to gaming.

Oh, and for those of you who care, they released a SMALLER Gameboy Advance. Yes, smaller. As in be careful where your thumbs are, or you'll cover the entire screen small. An idea of how small it is, look at your credit card......yeah about that size......

And to people who missed me, sorry I been gone for so long, I was busy with work, and my personal studies. O.O.....do I still have my job as animator in the Game Crew??? You guys probably forgot all about me......

Nobody cares about the 'revolution'. I think Nintendo should take the route of Sega and make games for the good consoles.

I wholeheartily agree with D3v for once.

Suckanut.
I care and I also think the downloadable games is an amsome idea. Ive heard rumors they are deciding on wether they want to make that option free or not. If they did it would be insane, but I doubt they will. Still...

Yes. Just because they don't make the kind of games YOU like, they must suck.

:rolleyes:

THe whole download thing would OWN.

Id be able to play super mario RPG and the Mega Man games again!!!!!! Oh oh, and those 8 bit mario games I used to play at the day care when I was younger!!!!!

Maybe I'll get the system when the price is reduced.

It can also play DVD's so it wont just be games. That downloading thing sounds awesome. Also IMO this is the best looking system yet.

So many people will still mod which ever system they have in order to get those games it doesn't even matter that Nintendo are offering a downlaod of them.

so your saying i can mod my GCN or my xbox right now and play megaman 4?

Actually, yes you can mod your xbox. Don't know about a GCN.

My bro has a friend who has a modded Xbox that we sometimes borrow, has all the NES, SNES and a bunch of N64 roms on it, aswell as Xbox games and PS1 games. You can also rip Xbox games.

I love the concept of the downloads. I still remember Mario Paint, funny shit. It'd be awesome if they came out with yet another Mario Kart soon. I love double-dash, I play it almost every night with my brother and my dad (he's actually not too bad either).

Here's some pics of the console itself.

Ohhh! Ohhh! I have that game still. + the mouse to go along with it!

This new nintendoo system looks like a portable cd drive O_o

Looks cool, but i'll probobly never buy a console after the whole, "Gamecube" incident.

The only thing I have against Nintendo is that they tend to overly focus on their tried and true franchises instead of putting more energy into new ideas. They have come out with many creative new games but I could care less about another Mario Party or first-person Metroid game. Now a side-scroller I could get behind.

well i personally like the idea of it "Just" playing games, because hopefully it will bring the cost of it down when compared to the other upcoming consoles. And the whole downloading games is the sweetest thing i have ever heard of as far as console gaming in a long ass time. I meand dam i still have my NES and still occasionally play it but it is getting old and sometimes i have to mess with it to get it to start games. One of my favorite NES games would have to be Battle Toads if you have played it before you know what i am talking about.

I once played only Battletoads for 3 months and never beat it.

What? how did you never beat it? I have played it for many hours just to beat it. The game is even better if you play it with a friend. Which Battle Toads game was it, because i think there were more than one.

Yeah Pokemon stadium and Mario Party is only fun so many times....then it seriously gets old and the zip of playing it is gone.

I'm just waiting on a list of specs for the system/launch date/price/list of games for the launch before I make and rash decisions if I like it or not.

have you tried playing Super Smash Brothers Melee it totally kicks ass and has never lost it's "ZIP" it is what i consider the HALO of Game Cube.

Sarcasm on the pokemon stadium, but SSBM is pretty fun to play if you get around to it, it's just the fact that there is so much more you can do. Iuno, I don't have a gamecube but if I did that's what'd I'd be playing while i'm waiting for Zelda.
