Iori

as an old skool gamer since 1989, I have doubts about the whole idea.

But Nintendo has never ceased to amaze me.....i'll wait till I have the real thing on my hands to make a comment. It looks and sounds like Nintendo will be going hard on the Revolution.... thumbsup

I was 5.
First system I played was the original Nintendo system which I still kept at home right now but it doesn't power on anymore.

My dad and uncle was a big gaming fan as well....they were the influence...

^ my parents deprived me of all that fun stuff. the first system i had was a sega master system!

I personally think this will be a very interesting take on gaming, and offer people a definite alternative. As nintendo mentioned in their press conference, rather than fighting it out with the PS3 and the Xbox360, which both are very similar in alot of respects, they want to take the Revolution in another direction. One thing for sure is that the games will be unique. I'd still get the PS3, but still get the Revolution as a secondary console for its games.

I have a feeling that this is going to get ripped off by Sony and Microsoft in the future. Nintendo has always been the pioneers of controllers. People ripped off the SNES controller, the Nintendo 64 rumble pack and the analog.

Bring on the games!

N.E.S
pc has one that still works which reminds me!

IM GONNA COME PESTER YOU FOR IT SOON!!!!

Basically, PS and XBox is just like the Dunk and Superstar of the sneaker world - everyone has to have 1 at home. Only the real hardcore gamers will know and appriciate Nintendo's offerings.

Sometimes I really admire Nintendo for it's persistance in taking their stand on making a game-only console rather than having nifty functions like watching DVD, but at the same time, Nintendo lacks the influence on the gaming world and is starting to even trail behind Micro$oft in terms of sales and console fan base which worries me a bit. If they continue like that, they are going to turn into the next Sega - dropping out of the next-next gen console war.....

People ripped the shoulder button design off the SNES control and the analog from the N64 control. But I think it was Sony who came up with the rumble feature in it's Duel Shock controller after the N64 was released so Nintendo had to release a add-on which was packed in with Star Fox 64.

My dad was addicted to Mario Bros. 3 on the NES. He would go into work during daytime leaving the machine switched on and the TV off coz back then they didnt have battery-backed saving features in the cartridges so once u switch off, u'll need to start from scratch again. He would then come home from work, have dinner and keep playing till like 3am in the morning.

Nowadays, he wouldn't touch the PS2 controller at home coz he said the 3D graphics gives him headaches.

The Master System is one of the systems i'm missing in my Sega collection. I'm still looking hard for add-ons like 32X and the Mega CD....

hysteria

Word up Iori. But i'm pretty sure the Rumble Pack came out before the inclusion of the Duel Shock. I remember reading back then about the cover up they had to do with the Analog stick.

One thing i do respect about Nintendo, as you've already mentioned, is their commitment is to offer new things for gamers, whom are tired of the same game with improvided graphics. I really hope they don't fold like SEGA did, as SEGA was my favourite (megadrive pwned the snes), though Nintendo did hold a tight second.

I think if Nintendo can pull this off, and can cause some thunder in the gaming world, we can expect great things. Viva Revolution!

Oh Iori, i still have a Master System 2 (with Alex Kidd built in), and a reverse joystick, Hang On, Out Run and the best game, CHOPLIFTER!!

I dont think it works though. :S

tha_masked_hater

but your only a tru gamesmaster if you rock EVERYTHING since the Atari!
EVERYTHING????? EVERYTHING!!!! (including good sukki sukki!)
Jaguars, neo geos, whtever otrher half assed machines they brought out all the stoopid add ons, aformention 32x and cd rom and bumble bees as crap so much gaming crap and the lovely old school 48 games in one for the gameboyeeeeeeee!

I know of such a man. he hails from a land far far away!

also Iori which master system are you looking for for your collection? i may know of another man and a dog that might have one!

Iori

hysteria: i'll probably need to do some research on that Rumble Pak and Duel Shock thing. One thing I know for sure is that the 1st batch of Duel Shock controllers ain't the ones u see now and instead . I have one somewhere in my stash of loose and broken controllers....

argh! Here it is....

Look at the shape of the analog stick....I prefer it this way than the existing ones since ur thumb feels much better than the mushroom-looking shaped ones they use now. The handle is longer too.

As a long-time nintendo follower, I dont want them to go down like Sega did (Dreamcast ROCKS!), but only if Nintendo can fix up some of their relationship with 3rd party developers, espically crucial ones like Square-Enix who's game could decide the fate of the system. FF12 or DQ8 on Revolution, anyone?

TGS 2005 (Tokyo Game Show) is on right now. I expect more goodies to come out of the Nintendo camp about the Revolution. The whole concept of the machine sounds cool and if they indeed could pull it off, say good bye to Micro$oft and Sony's gonna have a tight challenge ahead.

About the Master System.....hmmm I dont have anything specific in mind - just any will do as long as they come with box and everything - thats how I kept all my systems....

One of the best RPGs i've played - cant wait to see Advant Children (which is released in Japan already. Yuffie looks cuteeeeee!)

Ninesuns

I saw this just yesterday and all I can say is wow. I'm always really impressed with Nintendo's courage and invention. They develop enduring characters that have become cultural icons and continue to press the envelope. I've got no doubt these guys are keeping the industry fresh and engaging. Can't wait to play the Revolution, even just to play all those old Nintendo games I never could afford as a kid.
