Author Topic: New Revolution news! (Read 11959 times)

This article was taken from Nintelligent.net:

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced that the company is planning a simultaneous global release for its next-gen system, the Revolution. Nintendo's DS system also had an odd release, launching in the U.S. before its home country of Japan. The Revolution will not be until at least the next fiscal year, which begins in May 2006.

Iwata goes on to say that the Revolution will be a "complete failure" if it does not sell better than the GameCube, which is to date about 18.76 million units.

Be sure to keep an eye out for more Revolution details

---------------------------------------
Nintendo is planning a global launch like Microsoft is doing with the Xbox 360? It's a risky move.

I am a bit concerned over that comment Iwata said that the Revolution would be a "complete failure" if it does not sell better than the GameCube. Does this mean that if the Revolution fails, then Nintendo will quit the console market? Oh please God, let it not happen!

I think that the REV will sell 2x as mush as it's already a hit in Japan when people tried it.

May 2006, huh? That's just a little before my 8th grade graduation. But I'm still saving my money. Slowly. I mean, I have $20.73.

I haven't trusted anything Iwata says since he said Mario was to be replaced by now with a new mascot. Well where is this new mascot?

Suffix · « **Reply #4 on:** October 26, 2005, 09:49:21 PM »

I don't remember anything about a mascot. But the lack of a new mascot is there.

And he returns.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #6 on:** October 26, 2005, 11:09:19 PM »

I think they'd still be on their feet if the Revolution doesn't live up to their expectations. They can certainly still live off their Gameboy sales which have always been high.

Glorb · « **Reply #7 on:** October 27, 2005, 02:28:29 PM »

First off, why is this in GMC? This is not directly related to Mario. Also, quit with the little incremental Revolution news topics! You know what? Someone should have made a "post your Revolution news here" topic (not now, though!). So far, it's been like this:

Revolution announced!
The Revolution is made by Nintendo!
Revolution will be revolutionary!
That last topic was just an opinion!
That one too!
Revolution controller rumors!
More Revolution controller rumors!
Revolution controller's best rumors!
Revolution controller announced!
New Revolution news!

And by the way, Vidgmchtr, it's Game Boy, not Gameboy.

Um before I say anything. I'm Positive that Mario won't be replaced.

Oh and Glorb, before you start acting like a madman again, peace will return when you stop complaining about the 20% amount of topics that are misplaced in GMC.

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #10 on:** October 27, 2005, 10:50:26 PM »

If you search hard enough, you should find a topic titled "sad new for Mario fans" in this very forum. That's where Iwata was stated to supposedly have said that Mario was to be replaced by a new mascot. MegaByte even addressed it in the first Mega-Mailbag.

HolyAarom · « **Reply #11 on:** October 28, 2005, 02:56:51 PM »

I saw that topic. I still think that Mario won't be replaced. I'm the only one in this forum who wants MP7 and every other Mario game.

Who would think that Nintendo would replace Mario, that would be the most retarded move in thier history. Sorry, just wanted to get that off my chest.

It was a mistranslation by Nintendophiles. He meant to say that they [Nintendo] wanted to create a new franchise that would be as popular as Mario and Pokemon (which makes sense considering how much money both franchises make). Nintendophiles accidently interpreted it as Nintendo creating a new mascot that would eventually replace Mario and Pokemon thus this huge mess.

I'm glad that's out and about. Thanks muchly!

Yay. And anyway, who could replace Mario? Banjo Kazooie maybe </sarcasm>

PaperMario · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2005, 05:26:07 PM »

I think there should be a Rev topic so all of this news about the Revolution could be put there. It's better than having these topics about the Rev pop up this often...

Oh, and Aarom11, you're not te only one on the forums who wants Mario Party 7 and the other Mario games, I do too. Just wanted to let you know.

HolyAarom · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2005, 08:30:41 AM »

Cool.

There may or may not be a topic for new Revolution news, but if there is one, it would most certainly belong in here.

Time slowed and Reality bent.

But on and on the Eggman went.

i could use that backwards compatibility and if sega could find a way to put sonic on there than i'm more in than i am already.

smfan1085 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 20, 2005, 09:51:59 PM »

I hope they put that new Sonic game that's in development on the Revolution also, besides the PS3 and Xbox 360.

BP · « **Reply #27 on:** November 20, 2005, 10:10:27 PM »

I've posted my views several times:
a) I'll sell my N64 and download the games I had for it with the NES games I never had
b) That controller's awesome
c) let there be DVD's!

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #28 on:** November 20, 2005, 11:20:33 PM »

Better not sell your N64 and then realize you can't download all its games.

UM+SF · « **Reply #29 on:** November 22, 2005, 05:25:44 PM »

The backward compatibility thing has got me hooked. I've always wanted to onw, play, and complete each Mario game ever released in the U.S The Revolution will make my dreams come true. Plus, that controller is killer! I can't wait to get my hands on it. It may lack the high-definition that the XBOX 360 and PS3 have, but who cares? Not I!

BP · « **Reply #30 on:** November 22, 2005, 07:38:23 PM »

The games I wanna download are SM64, PM, SSB, and MK64. Those are all the 64 games that I have. Others I want are Yoshi's Story, the Zelda games, and my sister's gonna want me to get Banjo Kazooie. I think I'll be able to get those.

For NES, I want the first 3 SMBs, some Zelda games, Excitebike (Excitebike's awesome, man)... I'd probably be able to find SMB2J, since it is the World Wide Web.

BTW, are we supposed to put the downloaded games on writable CD's or a hard drive? My vote goes to CD's. If they'll be on CD's, will you need one disc for one game of one disc for a few games?

goodie · « **Reply #31 on:** November 22, 2005, 08:48:09 PM »

Neither. The games will be saved on either the internal flash memory, or on SD cards.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #32 on:** November 22, 2005, 10:43:46 PM »

It isn't the World Wide Web, it's Nintendo's selected ROM download network.

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #33 on:** January 12, 2006, 09:38:52 AM »

How much data will the games take up? N64 games are rather large, so you may need a few extra SD cards.

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #34 on:** January 12, 2006, 12:58:08 PM »

Please keep in mind his question, but I have one to. Does anyone know of a possible list price for the Rev.?

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #35 on:** January 12, 2006, 01:37:06 PM »

It's supposed to be below $200.

BP · « **Reply #36 on:** January 12, 2006, 11:08:39 PM »

They shouldn't take that much data. It's only slightly more powerful than an XBOX, right? Nintendo will make good enough memory cards to support your first few games anyway. I just hope it comes with a card thism time!

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #37 on:** January 12, 2006, 11:24:33 PM »

i hope it comes in so you dont have to buy memory cards and everything saves on that slim little system

BP · « **Reply #38 on:** January 12, 2006, 11:46:12 PM »

Nah, no hard drives. I like the way you can give info to your friends by lending them your card, that's how I got the Captain Olimar trophy in SSBM.

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #39 on:** January 12, 2006, 11:51:35 PM »

It should be both, I think.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #40 on:** January 12, 2006, 11:52:03 PM »

ya, both

BP · « **Reply #41 on:** January 13, 2006, 01:36:46 AM »

Eh... ok. I prefer cards, personally. They can let you have as many save files as you want. Anyway...
I want a black Revolution. Then I get a black controller to "match" my white remote. ^_^ But I hope not too many games use the motion sensors. I want a game I don't have to use energy to play.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #42 on:** January 13, 2006, 01:49:49 AM »

i prefer controllers over all things. what if the sensors stop working? controllers arent like that. you just plug and play. no wireless crap

Mr. Wiggles · « **Reply #43 on:** January 13, 2006, 02:42:02 PM »

Yes and if someone trips over your wired controller you'll end up restarting whatever you were doing.

Not to mention the chewmarks your siblings and pets leave.

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #44 on:** January 13, 2006, 04:12:04 PM »

I can picture it now... my 23-year old sister and my 26-year old brother biting my controller cord. XD

HolyAarom · « **Reply #45 on:** January 13, 2006, 04:45:24 PM »

Ouch...

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #46 on:** January 13, 2006, 07:38:26 PM »

i cant imagine that and my sib's are younger than yours!

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #47 on:** January 13, 2006, 07:58:54 PM »

*Imagines it*

That's really scary...

That's better. *Sips chocolate milk*

I love my wavebird (the Target one, at least). If you don't let your siblings, pets or parents chew on the controller itself, you're safe.

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #50 on:** January 14, 2006, 05:39:21 PM »

Do you only recommend the Target one? What others do you recommend?

BP · « **Reply #51 on:** January 14, 2006, 07:17:40 PM »

Ah, it's an official Nintendo one. I'm just pointing out that the one I got from Target still works as opposed to the one I got from Wal-Mart.

Luigison · « **Reply #52 on:** January 14, 2006, 08:43:32 PM »

What's wrong with the one from Wal*Mart?

BP · « **Reply #53 on:** January 14, 2006, 08:53:24 PM »

It's broken. I swear I didn't do anything to it. Like, it just stopped working. I changed the batteries and made sure the numbers on the dials matched. It's broken.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #54 on:** January 15, 2006, 02:43:28 AM »

good tip

Mr. Melee · « **Reply #55 on:** January 15, 2006, 11:50:00 AM »

I know the "real" ones are the Wavebird ones, and I bet you're pretty happy with the name, BP! :D

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #56 on:** January 24, 2006, 03:19:17 PM »

Actually the Revolution doesn't use a hard drive. It uses 512 MB of internal flash memory. You can insert an SD memory card to expand the memory. Go to Nintendo.com, they announced it on their web site at E3 2005.

GOKU76 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 26, 2006, 03:10:30 PM »

Now we have an official release date. When did Iwata say that Mario will be replaced by a new mascot.

larryfilmmaker · « **Reply #58 on:** January 26, 2006, 04:30:40 PM »

It'll be huge. Guaranteed.

Pt_Peach · « **Reply #59 on:** January 26, 2006, 05:18:17 PM »

I don't think I trust wireless controllers. Classic hook-up controllers, please!

Bigluigifan1.0 · « **Reply #60 on:** January 26, 2006, 06:49:54 PM »

Nintendo's wireless controllers for GameCube worked fine with me, so I doubt that'll change.

PaperMario · « **Reply #61 on:** January 26, 2006, 08:27:41 PM »

Exactly, I don't get whats wrong with them. They're just normal controllers, without the worry of anyone tripping on any wires. Besides, Nintendo has done this before with the WaveBird.
