This analog stick did show up during the original demonstration, remember? And with the controller shell being confirmed, I have a new found faith in Nintendo... With that, Revolution might be the #1 new generation console.

In Brazil and Japan, there's a strong possibility.

But the U.S. market is too obsessed with "coolness"... I fear that the OMG!SUPER!ULTIMATE! BEST. GAME. EVAR!!!11eleventy!!one! (TM)... couldn't change the perception that Nintnendo is kid's stuff that afflicts my generation.

Yeah. I'd like to see a kid finish Ocarina of Time in ten hours, or beat mission 14 of Advance Wars DS. (I'm sure there's a kid out there somewhere who can, but he or she is verily above average.)

I have this theory: there are two kind of good games around. One of them is the good game based on realism, on doing things you wouldn't be able to do in real life. Sport games fall into this category, so does GTA, racing games, and stuff like that. It's a game being good for simulating the realism of something "cool". It's based on graphics and realistic engines, and consoles like Playstation and XBOX are based on these kind of games.

The other kind of games is what Nintendo mainly does. It's games based on fun itself, not on realism or neat graphics. It's harder to accomplish a good game with that style... Games like Mario Party, they are not realistic at all and are not based on simulating something, but are fun nonetheless... Atari games, remember those? Those were not realistic, but were fun, it was fun by fun itself... Hard to explain...

Kids nowadays are drifting between these two kinds of games. In Japan, the second kind is more popular, in America, the first one. Over here, it's pretty devided, although I belive now that Nintendo is investing strongly in our country, this is about to change into a more japanese-esque view - lots of games in Japan are popular here and not in America, such as Super Jumpstars and Dance Dance Revolution kind of games.

On a unrelated note, I was at a videogame tournament sponsored by Nintendo in a big hotel in my home town, I was there to play with anyone with a DS (got to play Jumpstars!) and see the tournament - I was probably one of the oldest ones there... And there was this tournament for kids aged 4 to 7 in Super Smash Brothers Melee, and I thought "oh must be a crappy tournament, so young...", and it was freaking AWESOME! The kid who won, he was no older than 6 or 7, and he played like a freaking pro! I'm starting to get scared of kids today...

You had an SSBM tournament in your home town.

And you live in Brazil where the worlds second most beautiful women are born!? I agree with Sessler:

BTW, you played JumpStars... Is it any good?

Nintendo is investing HARD on this country, because it is happening a big videogame boom here. Viodegames became very popular in the late 80s and early 90s here, and we were all kids back then, and we're all now having jobs and our own kids, so the people who consume this products are now able to buy those themselves, and there's a speculation that electronics might become cheaper here (it's very expensive here), so... and Sony and Microsoft are ignoring this, so Nintendo is moving fast... Nintendo DS is a huge hit here, there are fans gathering up to play in almost every big city, it's a cult thing... So it's organizing events and tournaments all the time...

Jumpstars is great, very fun - although I only played the multiplayer. It's a cross between "Comic Zone" for Genesis and Super Smash Brothers. Every time you knock an oponent, he gets back to the game, but he loses one point, you get one. It's set on a comic book (manga), and you can rip through pages and comic panels and fall out of the manga... On the bottom screen there is a mini comic book with the players you can choose (you can change those in the game), and small comic panels with sidekicks or other manga titles characters (such as Prince of Tennis) and they can assist you, in some sort of a super move. It's great fun...!

I thought seeing this was a big thing in favor of the new controller:

Both are just mockups.




The second, with the analog stick, would allow a player to navigate as well as fire.

Anyone else hoping for a new Duck Hunt??

Translation for the Un-Southern:

Sir Darth Chaltab hesitated momentarily before looking at the keen new mock-up picture of the Nintendo Revolution remote control inside a potential gun-shaped peripheral. Upon seeing said picture... there was much rejoicing.

There is no lingerie in space…

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

The Nintendo revolution will have a lightgun? Cool! I didn't expect much out of them, but now I might change my mind about that.
I guess they still have lightgun games available, but not many since the NES. Duck Hunt returns!

I can still play Duck Hunt because I still own that game and the Zapper. ^_^

I know, and I feel very sad that it's not available for everybody (because it's a great game), but I just had to brag about it. Wouldn't you?

The Revolution won't NEED a lightgun with it's controller. Haven't you read the first 40 posts?

I like the idea for the second mock-up... That way you would be really able to play fps games... Not sure how hard it would be to control it in moments when you need fast and precise movements, but still quite nice...

I think what you're referring to is creativity. The way I see it, Nintendo are the only serious videogame business left in the hardware game. Sega has left the hardware game, and the others are just corporations putting out hardware for third parties to make games for. I still bought the X-Box, but I respect Nintendo and Sega in a way that I'll never respect Sony or Microsoft, because they were focused on producing quality, fun, creative games irrespective of mass-market appeal. And this is coming from an avid Nintendo-basher in the days of yore. Call it naive, but that's what it was all about back in the day.

I agree with you. It seems like the other manufacturers are pushing the hardware envelope just to push it and saturate the market with cookie-cutter games. Nintendo's philosophy has always been about quality. They may have a smaller library compared to the other two (not over the past 20 years, though!), but their stuff is miles ahead in originality and design. I bought a GC for our house this past July. My first console since Sega Saturn, my first Nintendo product since NES. I love being back, and plan on getting the revolution when it comes out.

That being said: Any idea on a street date or price tag on the Rev?

For date I think sometime around 2006. For price I'm guessing around 200.
