Matt from IGN said it doesn't exist.

Then he mentioned April 23rd-aton.

Then he said THAT didn't exist.

BUT, he didn't deny the existence of May 9th-aton!

Hmm.

I don't think it's anything, it's been April 20 for a while, in fact it's almost over. Back to the past though, I doubt it's anything. Just proper Red Steel pics and hopefully a movie.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #3 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:20:01 PM »

eh? April 20th just begun! We may hear/see something, but regardless the intranet has been abuzzed with this date in regards to Rev. I wonder... hmmmmmm...!

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #4 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:22:19 PM »

Nothing's happening today.

This happens every single month. Come on people, you should know better by now.

Mario · « **Reply #5 on:** April 19, 2006, 08:23:38 PM »

The next ton with confirmed info will be in 7 days when the new Famitsu reveals some new Revolution games. All that's confirmed for the 20th is new Red Steel info and Dragon Quest Rev trailer + SSB Rev screens and info.

It's stupid to release any news on 4-20, as everyone will be far too trashed, baked, wasted, etc. to comprehend any news.

Please no more "Mega-ton" remours, I swear that this always does more harm than good. When nothing happens people get ticked at Nintendo, even though it never is proven that the rumours were in fact leaked by Nintendo.

wandering · « **Reply #8 on:** April 19, 2006, 10:09:07 PM »

Yes, but then, when Nintendo actually does unleash unexpected megatonnes, people are all the happier because they had been dissapointed so many times in the past.

Kairon · « **Reply #9 on:** April 19, 2006, 10:10:12 PM »

Is that the... French or British Commonwealth spelling... "megatonnes?"

Actually all of the recent ones have delivered. This isn't really one though, and being excited is healthy.

That's the 'cleverly avoiding the forum filters' spelling, actually.

Yes, it helps keep our minds in a healthy, oblivious state so we can continue to not think about the world's problems as we fulfill our roles as slaves to the corporate machine.

....

Anyway. I'm hoping for at least some direct feed of Red Steel, but we'll see what happens.

Mario · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2006, 12:16:06 AM »

Actually, the word megaton is still in megatonne, so it wouldn't matter. The word has just been removed from the filters though I think.

Well there was a secret DS conference the other day where a bunch of secret DS games were shown...Is that close enough?

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #14 on:** April 20, 2006, 03:47:31 AM »

Yep, Mario Tennis Doubles Championship and F-Zero DX with Wi-Fi confirmed. Some new first party game about vegetable soup, also.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2006, 04:26:22 AM »

The April 20th-aton is that (did I word that right?) the Revolution will have a built in bong. At least all the "cool stoner kids" who skip school today to smoke pot would like that to be true.

Awesome. This means that the Revolution processor could be liquid cooled by the bong water!

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #17 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:15:25 AM »

Yes. And the official color of the white console is "Zig Zag white"...or "cocaine". The black console will be called "resin".

MaryJane · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:37:00 AM »

nice day today isn't it?

who cares if there is new nintendo news today? good things come to those who wait.
today should be nice relaxing mellow day with no worries, not even about the impending greatness of the Revolution.

Bush denies the existence of 700ton!

Tonne is always the metric ton while ton can be any kind of ton (Short, Long, Imperial, Rebel, ...).

Not too much exciting in that Game Informer Online stuff:

- EA is going to have multliple titles ("a few") at E3 and hopefully all ready for launch.
- Nintendo has been in discussions with Rockstar about making games for Revolution (Harrison wouldn't say any specifics, no mention as to whether that was now or a year ago)
- They want to launch worldwide by the end of the year, although Japan will be a priority

V-Jump reports Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 will be coming to PS2 and Revolution

-Nintendo Power has a feature on "Tony Hawk Downhill Jam" in the new Nintendo Power with details about the game
(the big cover story is on the new DS Castlevania)

-Advanced Media Network is reporting Grasshopper Manufacturer (Killer 7)'s Game will be shown in video form at E3, likely during Nintendo's

- AOL/Nintendo are running a contest where you can win a trip to E3 and "be the first fan to play the Revolution" during the pre E3 media briefing in front of 1000s of people.

Hopefully something will come of this since they were all but absent for the GCN.

I am split on the Rockstar thing, I realize the GTA series is popular and relatively fun, but I also feel Rockstar has done more detrimental things to gaming than it has done good. Even the GTA series is getting stales, and frankly Rockstar is making money based off the "Mature content" than it is gameplay for the most part.

We will see how true that is when Table Tennis is a million seller for 360.
