Will you buy a nintendo revolution?

I have to say I once used to be Nintendo loyal for games but that all changed when I purchased my first PC. Through this I learned that good games can be on any format.

I'll be getting a Rev for sure, because I hope the cheap and similar to GC development will have games developed and sold cheaper than PS3 and 360. Possibly made a little faster too. Surely there should be some good playable demos of Rev software at E3.

I also think that this time there is a real incentive to get smaller developers on the map of Rev recognition. This is an area Nintendo must push more at after letting so many walk away to Sony's camp before. The might of EA etc will no doubt be all over the 360 and PS3, but not everyone has that financial power.

You got a sweet game idea, little funds and no one else can help, call Nintendo. Either the Rev or DS might be home to it.

With regards to the DS, I agree that the early DS games didn't set the planet on fire, but you must also remember that this also happened to the mighty PS2 learly in its life cycle. DS games take a little bit more to think out than you average console game, this might also explain why better games turned up later (this happened to PSP too strangely).
Also bare in mind a lot of good games don't reach our shores too.

I'll look forward to using my GC games on Rev too, I just hope my import GC games and Freeloader still work.

I'm not sure about revo yet.
Out of the 3 consoles it is the most interesting one.
I have no desire to buy an xbox360 currently though I've played a couple of games on it and it's a nice system.
But the games are just the same as before.

I love my DS. I'm most interested in that. It reminds me why I liked games to start with.
If revo can repeat that sort of thing. Give new fresh experiences, not reinventing games but making them fun again then for sure I'd buy one.

I still think nintendo messed up with the gamecube. I posted a thing before about it feeling like a missed opportunity and I still believe that. They seemed to give up on it after a very short time.
I'm glad that the DS is not proving to be more of the same. I'd love to see more people inspired by that and to do the same sort of thing on revo.

I don't think I'd buy 2 consoles. Maybe if I could afford it I would but I can't. I'm sure PS3 will be costly but lets face it, the 360 is too much for me right now so that's not going to be hard.

1. We know next to bugger all about it
2. We've yet to see a game running on it

So how on HELL can someone say they will or wont buy one?

because of its potetial, promise and the fact that it is at least an attempt at something new.prick

i will get a revo i am a big fan of the big N
the way that i look at the home consoles is do i get bord with them and in a nut sell i have never got bord with nintendo i have still got my gc and still love it i have had a ps2 got lodes of games for it got bord of it sold it and with the xbox got that on lorch got lodes of games that i still love got a 360 on lornch over heated

all i can say is let initendo live for ever thay now wat thay are doing as thay have been going since
1889 can sony ore microsoft say that NO

In a short "way" NNNOOO!

graphics ruleZ!!!!

you dont even know the power of the rev

it's true, I don't .

I just know what Nintendo said. And was the less powerfull of the 3 systems. So less graphics..! It's "basic"

but.. I'll considere to buy it just because it stands very well on my living room. THESE] Pics are just awsome!!

but I still prefere graphics. It's my opinion

Don't call him names. He's got a really good point.

We still haven't seen any real software. We don't know if Nintendo can produce good games on it - you've only *assumed* that they will.

Is this something new in the same way the DS's second screen is? Like the way it's used in most games as a map? Even Nintendo can't think of anything more useful for it in Hunters and Mario Kart.

Me thinks that developers will think "f**k this, I'm not making some messed up magic wandy version of my new uber-FPS - I'll just lower the resolution, textures, frame rate, detail and put it on the Rev's tradional controller mode... on the other hand, f**k that, I can make more money by just releasing it on PS3 and Xbox".

This is the ultimate "if it comes from Nintendo it's going to be good" thought. I bet that if you turned the situation around, and were talking about say the Gizmondo or PS3, you'd be like "well, we need to wait and see what the software is like... how good the console is doesn't matter". But for NIntendo it's just HAS to be good.

The second screen has proven it's worth allready, if only in a secondary fashion.
Try imagining Hunters on one screen... doing your aiming on the screen with all the action... your hand is going to block half the image, that's why the second screen is a good addition.
Allows the developer to spread action and command input from each other in a mouse-PC fashion.
The touchscreen serves as your mousepad, the upper screen as your PC-monitor sort of say.

In that light the second screen is a well thought out addition and your bitching is maybe more the result that some games don't use the touchscreen as a command input because you have it stuck in your head "that's what the Ds is all about isn't it!!". Your not the only one... some mainstream press reviews of Mario Kart DS actually lower the score because "they game doesn't use the touchscreen", it's Mario Kart perfected , it doesn't need the touch-screen!

I think you can have some faith in the company that made the father of all 2D-gaming and the father of all third person 3D-gaming and releases a twoscreened handheld with extravanganza of quirky innovative games to boot and is responsible for the controller standard we use for the last 20 years and so forth now can we... just a little bit of faith...can't be that hard considering...

Hey Zac, I am one of the moderators of the forums you just spammed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to stop posting here. All I'm saying is that spamming these forums is against the forum terms and conditions.
Enjoy!

It took you your second post to start plugging your own forums? Well, considerable effort, seeings as most account whores decide to use their first post to do it.

The Gamecube is niche. It's got good games, it's still selling units, just not to the extent of its competitors. Nintendo's always seemed to be the underdog since the SNES era, home console wise. The Revolution will at least give them a reason to be niche should the same unfortunate fate happen to them.

I'm interested. One can only hope that the next true Mario console game will be one as inspiring as Super Mario 64, considering the time its been in development. And that's reason enough for me. To get to the whole point of gaming in the first place - playing games. Basic, gameplay-injected, original games. Something the DS has successfully demonstrated.

Of course, with little information, there's every chance it'll sink. But according to developer accounts and the amount of support it may have for launch, I think it may well have a flying start.

hmmm will i buy the new nintendo console ...


Do bears s**t in the woods??? mmm???

It's impossible to say without seeing and playing any of the games.

I won't buy any new hardware unless it has at least three games that I've just got to have, but which I can't get on a system I already own.

the only game so far that i really really want is elder scrolls:oblivion on the 360
