Nintendo have been quiet for sometime now, it almost seemed that Sony and Xbox where the two giants...so Nintendo have decided to release a console.

Its unclear when it will be around or even what its main features are really, but for a start, how does Bluetooth support, a cool joypad that detects motion sound?

The Nintendo Revolution isn't about yet, but at least they will be able to watch what mistakes and good ideas come from the Xbox and Sony.

Titles like Mario are expected to return and even some older classics.

(i wonder if Nintendo will ditch the old game cartridge? )

Keep watching!

they already have ditched the cartridge with the game cube havnt they? i like it more than the other consoles in my prefrence, but they need something new...

PONG BRING BACK PONG, THEN I'll by a nintendo system, or Metroid that was the GREATEST game of all times for Nintendo

There was one game I never beat, for the old NES system, I think it was called Shadow Gate, it's around here somewhere...

[clarky3429]

i owned that game, the music used to give me nightmares, and i too could never complete it (i was only like 7 then)

LOL i had a Nes and Sega megadrive...but AHEM i am goin off-topic here.

The Nintendo will be nice apparently, the joypad will be like a remote and a small joypad part.

Sounds cool, I might try it out, dunno yet all depends on what all they add to it

I never finished it cause I got bored easy and other things always caught my attention... still happens that way LOL

I do think that Microsoft and Sony own this game right now, so Nintendo have to basically start from scratch and do something interesting, fast and powerful with brilliant titles on it, like the GTA Series supported Sony first and Xbox...

Other than that i suppose they need to make the price good, why buy a nintendo people might ask, the playstation and xbox are cheaper.

The Game cube was a loss, it wasn't in the same league as the first Xbox and PS2...

But good luck to 'em

I dunno, I heard that the 360 doesn't support old X-Box games, is that true?

[clarky3429]

one thing that Nintendo did with the Gamecube was its measures with anti-piracy....apparently the cds spin in the oppisate direction to conventional CDS making it unreadable by other devices (i.e. CD drive on computer) - thats probobly why the Gamecube wasnt so popular...because you couldnt pirate the games easily!!

[ShadowFox]

hmm I didn't know that... maybe that is why O.o, Although I never did successfully burn an x-box game... playstation was easy, burn it, stick a
piece of paper in little button the pops up and tells the playstation it's open, put in an original game, start it when it stop the music on the playstation logo, change the disc really quick... It was fun

The Revolution was announced at E3 in May. It has a motion-sensitive controller that can function like a baseball bat, lightsaber, etc., or as a traditional controller. It also has an addon that will allow you to use it in a fashion similar to what you do in a FPS for PC. The Revolution is also going to be baskwards-compatible with Gamecube titles, as well as ship with an emulator capable of playing NES, SNES, and N64 games that will be available online. (ShadowFox, that means you will be able to play the original Metroid on the revolution).
