Go to IGN right now and read Reggie's words. Humble yourselves before the might of Reggie, for it is awesome and full of glory.

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.

Maybe its a mistake, maybe hes talking about Mario kart arcade? or who knows! Certainly interesting.....

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

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #2 on:** February 25, 2005, 03:39:01 PM »

I thought about arcade and DS, but the question and article are about the Gamecube. This is GC stuff.

Mario Kart arcade is probably coming to GC then.

Ugh, I REALLY don't want another Smash Brothers for the Gamecube...PLEASE save it for the Revolution, Ninty...PLEASE!

Ian Sane · « **Reply #4 on:** February 25, 2005, 04:22:11 PM »

Holy crap! Bill and I have the same opinion regarding an unwarrented sequel. SSBM just nailed it so perfectly that I really don't think there's anything more they could do with SSB on the Cube. Hell I can't think of much they can do with it period even with new hardware. SSBM is an absolutely perfect sequel.

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.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #5 on:** February 25, 2005, 04:26:42 PM »

Phew, I feel better now...SSB3 really is the killer app for the Revolution, and I just can't see Ninty releasing it for the Gamecube...And Ian, people are always saying new things can't be come up with, yet they always are...Sakurai (Melee's director) said himself that there was a lot he had wished to put into Melee but just plain ran out of time to implement...So no worries there...

Savior · « **Reply #6 on:** February 25, 2005, 04:41:35 PM »

I just want more stuff...

More characters, more stages, and more of those Gara Gatcha Toys!

The Omen · « **Reply #7 on:** February 25, 2005, 04:46:12 PM »

I'm fairly certain SSMB will appear on the DS, then the REV, but not the GC. And that's fine.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #8 on:** February 25, 2005, 04:57:55 PM »

Sigh.

it was bound to happen
I think it was fitting that Ian Sane delivered the news
Oh so sad too bad

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #10 on:** February 25, 2005, 05:58:59 PM »

Yes, let's all laugh at PaLaDiN as his dreams are crushed.

You know, I knew before I started in this thread that Ian would kill it.

How do you lock threads? This is useless now.

Dasmos · « **Reply #11 on:** February 25, 2005, 06:25:51 PM »

Can't only moderators lock'em?

If only the trigger-lock-happy Dr. Z still was with us.....sigh

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

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #13 on:** February 26, 2005, 07:35:56 AM »

I guess we could talk about the console color...

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.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** February 26, 2005, 08:03:21 AM »

I think it's more along the lines of "people way too worried about their sexuality" UH OH IT IS PURPLE IF I GET PURPLE I'LL BE CONSIDER YOU KNOW WHAT!

Now that's out of the way, I'd like to see multiple colors at launch again...Perhaps Black, N64 grey, and white?

Pale · « **Reply #15 on:** February 26, 2005, 08:21:47 AM »

I don't really care about colors... I just want fun LEDs.

nickmitch · « **Reply #16 on:** February 26, 2005, 09:23:00 AM »

We could talk about new franchises again.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #17 on:** February 26, 2005, 09:42:26 AM »

Yes, new franchises would be good. I want more stuff like Pikmin...

You know Geist could be awesome with the right amount of polish. Too bad it looks like it won't be getting that.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2005, 09:44:18 AM »

You don't know that...There haven't been any new screens in a year...You think n-Space has been sitting around twiddling their thumbs all this time? I THINK NOT!

Savior · « **Reply #19 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:13:04 AM »

Its not just the color.... (If Silver is available at launch ill gladly pick that though) but i think the whole shape of the console will get a makeover..

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

Pale · « **Reply #20 on:** February 26, 2005, 10:17:47 AM »

I love my panasonic Q. The only downside is that the fancy blue LEDs are blocked by the wavebird receivers. I want the new console to have built in wireless controller receivers with LEDs to represent when they are receiving data (like the current wavebird) as well as a general cool looking Power On LED system. If a controller is powered on, LED ring turns on, and if the controller is sending data, a central LED blinks.

Heh I know this is all stupid non game related stuff, but I think it would be cool.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 26, 2005, 01:48:32 PM »

I think people want it to look like more than just a game machine. Just something that screams future technology as well as classy. For me, it should have a glossy black top with a silver lining going across the side, then the REVOLUTION in big engraved letters (maybe silver also). Also, it should be like the playstation and be able to sit on it's side (it's so damn useful when reconfiguring your elec. setup). Nintendo should acknowledge that coolness factor, since people do have friends and friends do have money.

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.

Savior · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2005, 02:45:37 PM »

I dont like the idea of a Black Console, just because the Xbox, and the PS2 are black. I think going with a different color is a way to set yourself apart from the other two. Thats why i picked the Purple at launch... though i almost sold my Purple GCN once the Silvers were launched just because the Silver Color is so darn nice

Uglydot · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2005, 05:20:30 AM »

I like my purple cube. :-/ Made it stand out. I liked the handle too... was actually a useful feature. Guess I guess looks count for more than utility.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2005, 02:38:33 PM »

Nintendo should take some idea's from the Panasonic Q (shiny metallic paint, mirrored surface, and all those LED's and lights...)
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...
