There seems to be a strict division on this forum between people that take video games too seriously, and people that don't. Sometimes I fall into the trap of taking them to seriously. Too illustrate my example, take Bill, and take Ian. Ian over analyzes everything to the point that no matter what, it's bad news. Bill takes everything for what it is, a form of entertainment, and enjoys it. Which do you think is the best mindset?

I personally think the forum would be a better place if we all tried to act more like Bill. Then conversations would consist of discussing exciting news and how much we like games, instead of what is happening here.

Anyway, this is just an observation that I wanted to get in somewhere, and this was as good a place as any.

Edit: Oh shits! I went all emo in this post....

What you speak of, I can agree with. And yes, you should have been more clear.

People this was posted as a rumour in the magazine.

Also there is a nother ruomour (could be real i am listing as a rumour) that just recently ibm handed nintendo the final cpu.

IF thats the case the developers have glorified gamecube dev kits.

Nintendo themselves said that devs could use gc devs kits to develop for the rev until the rev ones are done.

Now if the cpu for the rev was just finished the devs cant possibly have a dev kit that ca nshow what the rev can do .

Even the early xbox 360 ones were like only 25% of the power of the final design.

I agree with Kairon. There were a couple of genuinely new titles from Nintendo, but they never received much promotion (that I saw) and they had a very experimental air to them. Case in point: Jungle Beat. With it's cash cows, Nintendo stuck to tried-and-true formulas. Though I agree with you that I love the Zelda formula, and could stand to see a lot more still, I also think that it has reached its creative limit, if not its entertainment limit.

Wait a minute, no innovations from Nintendo during the GameCube era? What about Metroid Prime then, didn't that game 'invent' the first-person adventure? Am I wrong?

edit: let's also not dismiss the fact that the GC is the first (and probably last) console with a handle on it!

cubist · « **Reply #106 on:** December 02, 2005, 10:00:44 AM »

...and let's not forget Pikmin 1 & 2. These games were excellent and innovative.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #107 on:** December 02, 2005, 10:02:55 AM »

I LOVE the handle. I hope Rev has a handle as well. Carrying a console, 4 controllers, AC adapter, and A/V cables with one hand (the other hand is carrying... my bag of GAMES) from my room to the living room was never so quick nor easy before it!

thame^ · « **Reply #108 on:** December 02, 2005, 10:29:34 AM »

Oh man I forgot all about Pikmin. I can't believe I still haven't bought those two! Pikmin 1 should be player's choice by now, right? Remind me to pick that up later.. Or should I skip the first and go for Pikmin 2 straight away? HE;LP

PS how in the world do you carry a console and four controllers with one hand? how do you even carry four controllers alone with one hand?

edit: vvv great, thanks guy below me, I'll get the second then. I can't stand time limitations.

vudu · « **Reply #109 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:07:22 AM »

Even though Pikmin 2 is superior to the original in every way, I still prefer the original. I'm not quite sure why.

See my post in the Official "What game should I get?" Thread (it's the 5th most recent post because no one uses the thread for some reason) for more details.

And a rumored concept for Metroid Prime 3 too large to post this is said to actually be an in-game character that was cut from the first Prime

vudu · « **Reply #112 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:53:47 AM »

Looks like Kraid with no head.

Wait, Nemo, what's that a picture of?

nemo_83 · « **Reply #114 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:57:44 AM »

which pic? the Metroid pic I believe is the Kraid (sp?) concept. The picture I was able to post is from some RTS aparently in development for Revolution.

JonLeung · « **Reply #115 on:** December 02, 2005, 11:58:47 AM »

I too am curious. Where did you get these pics?

My guess is the second picture is of "Meta-Kraid"... unfortunately for Kraid, Ridley is way cooler and now shows up in every Metroid game (well, every one that doesn't have a "2/II", and a subtitle).

I see you got those screens from http://game-rotr.net/screens.php but how do you suppose that this is supposed to be a Revolution game? Unless I missed it somewhere...

If so, watch Nintendo take it over and make it a next-gen Advance Wars or Battalion Wars...

nemo_83 · « **Reply #119 on:** December 02, 2005, 12:30:41 PM »

there was a piece at the gamespot forums; I'm not up to digging it back up right now, but there was a picture from somewhere that clearly said the game was TBA for REVO.

BINGO

Bunch the cables together and grasp them along with the handle. These are Nintendo controllers; you can swing 'em around like the upgraded Vampire Killer whip from Castlevania and they won't care -- they'll still work fine. [AC adapter and cheapo A/V cables should not be swung around. The "wall" cord of the AC adapter should be held, not the "GameCube" end. Very important.]

I definitely don't believe it. The resolution of the in-game region and the GUI don't match. Plus, the threat bar [bottom left] has a different shade of black than the rest of the letterbox, like it was cut&pasted from another video capture of Prime1/2. The letterbox doesn't even extend all the way to the right. Otherwise you'll just have to insist it's a cut&paste concept, a la Amped Snowboarding.

I don't know how that happened I'm in the process of fixing the Zelda link.
