One line in particular stands out:
"As you know, we also have had several award-winning top-selling games and several more, including Zelda, Smash Bros., and Mario Kart are yet to come."
I'm thinking this has to be a mistake. The ramifications are just too good to be true. IGN must have arranged the sentence wrongly...
But then why does the article's picture include Mario Kart, the Master Sword and SSBM characters? And why does it say "Readers don't want to miss this one"?
I just wet my pants.
Don't anybody come in here and ruin this for me. Let me dream for once.

Also important to note his comments on colors... i think this means the Revolution will launch only either Black, or Silver... Silver is my guess, the DS is Silver and the GCN Silver is very popular

Mario Kart arcade is probably coming to GC then.

But that's not what's coming here. Read the quote in context. "As you know, we also have had several award-winning top-selling games, including Zelda, Smash Bros., and Mario Kart, and several more are yet to come." That comma after Mario Kart is key. He's mentioning classic games already released plus unnamed games not yet released. They're asking him what Nintendo did right with the Cube and games like Zelda, Smash Bros and Mario Kart and part of what they did right. Either you misread it or it was a typo that IGN fixed.
Edit: IGN is acknowledging the error. It was a goof up.

Why? Just because there isnt another Mario Kart in development doesnt make what Reggie said any less important.

Seems it won't be purple this time. Don't see why that's such a big deal... I think some people are seriously underestimating the intelligence of the common man.
Post by: Bill Aurion on February 26, 2005, 08:03:21 AM
Now that's out of the way, I'd like to see multiple colors at launch again...Perhaps Black, N64 grey, and white?

Not that a cube is really that uggly, I just think the next console might be more streamlined... thiner, if it lights up that would look cool too. Ive never seen an actual Panasonic Q system but from the pics it looked cool. Oh and i dont think it will have a handle
Post by: Pale on February 26, 2005, 10:17:47 AM
Heh I know this is all stupid non game related stuff, but I think it would be cool.

AFTER SCHOOL
Friend A "So what's going on?"
Friend B "Nothing, chillen"
A "What you gonna do today?"
B "Don't know really; got to be home by 6 though for dinner with the fam."
A "Cool, you want to play my new Nintendo...it's pretty dope looking, I haven't been able to play it though."
B "Sure"
......
A "There it is, let me hook it up."
B "That is pretty slick looking, if it plays well I might just pick one up for myself."
At least that's how it would be with my friends. Playing at your friends house is one of the ways for best advertising.
EDIT: oh ya Paladin, sorry man but hahahaha that's pretty funny stuff.....thanks IGN, good reporting skills.

I would like:
Silver Revolution with icy blue lights
Black Revolution with red lights
And maybe later to boost sales, some sort of Apple like pure white revolution, or maybe a reflective chrome revolution (like the back of an iPod).
Personally, in my opinion the Dreamcast had the best console design ever. Small and attractive. That's what the Gamecube should have looked like...

Damn skippy. The Revolution had better conform when it comes to color. It's time for Nintendo to get real and start making their machines more immature asthetically. Make it SHINY and cool looking. When it comes to innovation save it for the hardware my beloved company.
Post by: ruby_onix on February 28, 2005, 01:30:55 AM
The Revolution is either going to be a smash hit or a dud. So this is the absolute perfect time to deliver an "up yours" to the industry.
Just making the console purple isn't going to cut it. That's too subtle. Nobody would get the point. Pink. With flowers and rainbows. Yes, that would be so bad. It's like... how Shiggy made Yoshi's Island all funky when they told him to match the graphics of Donkey Kong Country. Every now and then, you have to show everyone who's really running the show.
Both Iwata and Reggie have a need for this evil plan. Iwata because he's new and many people seem to think that he's weak (especially when compared to Yamauchi). And Reggie because his sudden reputation for power is very large and needs mighty food to thrive (live consoles will suffice). If Reggie "introduces" this evil plan to Iwata (as only Reggie can), who then launches it on a worldwide level, that would be sufficent for both of them.
I am 100% serious here (well, perhaps 95% serious, I added some humor). Make it happen Nintendo. Or are you afraid of the consequences of such an action?
(Does anyone know if NOA officials still lurk here?)
Post by: Don'tHate742 on February 28, 2005, 03:07:35 AM
I honestly think that if Nintendo made the gamecube black or silver from the start...it would of been a bigger success than it was (as in making more money). The gamecube is a great system; to look at, and to carry. It's too bad though, who the hell made that "go purple" call anyways?
I think now they should conform to make it stylish and attractive, but add something Nintendoish...like led's the color of blacklights (that's purple, but cool at the same time). I wouldn't care if it looked like the cube, as long as it had a slide out cd player, or better yet a hole where you place the cd in like car cd players. Also if it had the REVOLUTION name printed somewhere very visible (like the side or top) then had a black light oming out the slits around the letters. That would be awesome. So if you played in the dark, you couldn't see the actually letters, but you could still read that it says revolution. Little things like that would be great.

Not a bad idea.....

Post by: couchmonkey on March 01, 2005, 04:51:15 AM
The design of the next system doesn't really matter, it's the games that are important. Therefore, Nintendo should just go with something conservative and "cool" to appease casual consumers. It's not like any of us will say no to it based on how it looks, so why let the system design get in the way of selling to people who really do care about something so shallow? Yes to multiple colours, but choose black or silver or grey for the "selling" colour.
Post by: Hemmorrhoid on March 02, 2005, 04:02:52 AM
I agree that whats most important is the games delivered with the release. It has to be some killer aps, something intruiging that gets great reviews, and looks good on commercials. It only needs 2 good games to start with really, last console generation both Xbox and GCN only had one good starter (Halo and SSBM).
