The revolution has begun!

[guy679]

Has anybody heard about the revolution it's a new console I can't wait until it comes out.

[Kugetsu]

Yep, one of the things I'm more interested in (though not particularly the oinly thing) is the ability to play the older Nintendo games on the system. To be honest, other than that, I really haven't read up on it (except for some of the specs and other things that were released months ago). I'm hoping it to be the only affordable Next-Gen console, though I'm sure it's still going to be outrageous.

Is it OK if I let my inner fanboy out in this topic? Good. TEH REOVLTUION IS SOOOOOOO GNNOA PWN TEH SP3 AND THE BXOX 063!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111SHIFT

Ok, that felt good. Now that I have that out of my system, I've been hearing we might get some Revolution news today. Gosh, if I don't see controller soon, I'm gonna die. I really hope they don't screw it up...

This appears to be a Nintendo topic.

Yeah, amen to the controller. >_> None of the controllers are looking very impressive right now.

[Experiment]

Does anyone have a link to this thing? It sounds like it could be cool.

The 360 controller looks pretty good but as for PS3....WATCH OUT FOR THAT BOOMERANG!

Eh, the 360 is okay (don't personally care for it), at least I can throw the PS3 controller at someone and expect to get it back (which I plan on trying out). XD

Experiment - I'm sure rbpnmn has a few Revolution links up his sleeve.

3 things.

1. We already have a thread on this.
2. So far the revolution lacks third-party support.
3. The PS3 controller is a prototype, it is subject to change.

I'm done now, so bye.

Gee, how'd you know?

And Kutaragi said that no drastic changes will be made to the PS3 controller.

1. I believe it's far enough back in the topics, it's at least on page two, so basically a dead topic. This one should be fine.

3. It won't change much

*is so buying Revolution* I didn't have enough money to buy Gamecube, but now that I have a job, I'm so buying Revolution. *needs the Gamecube Fire Emblem* I'm really looking forward to the next SSB too.

Nintendo will offer a FREE online matchmaking system.

The only problem is that the downloads will probaly cost money, and we still don't know if the Revolution will be easy to make games for. So far Tecmo and many other companies have stated taht the Xbox 360 is very difficult and costly to make games on, and the PS3 is much easier.

Well, if many people complain about the controller(and many people are) It may change, plus, none of us knows actually how the controller will feel in our hands.

I agree with some critics in calling it the 'Devolution' considering its backward compatablity, likewise, every good nintendo game won't be avaliable to play as they are all GBA or third party developed.
