Topic: Discuss THESE!!

[Mario]

This is the time of year where all sorts of rumor bags are thrown around, right before E3. I could whip up a fake photoshop saying Dragon Quest is coming to Rev for instance, and it'd probably get a second look.

Oh yeah and the thing abuot TP here was actually said by a few Nintendo reps, so this guy is just grabbing stuff he thinks is probably true and making things up so when those things are confirmed true everyone will think "OMG so the rest has to be real too!".

Uh, what?  Horse racing games, the realistic kind, are incredibly popular in Japan...It doesn't need a Zelda spinoff... =P


Europe launch for DS Lite will be on eitehr the 9th or 16th of June. Most probably, according to their sources, the 9th.

Believable, considering lots of rumours and stores point at a June launch...

The original Soul Blade game for PSX will be remade for the DS

Neato, but I wouldn't really care if not true...

All next gen consoles wil be getting the next iteration of Soul Calibur

Yes, please!

"It seems almost confirmed" that the new Tomb Radier will be on Rev. There will also be a DS version and the Cube version of Tomb Raider Legend will contain extras the versions on other consoles did not have.

Don't care...Does anyone?  Can I have a show of hands?  No?  Didn't think so...

They claim that they have confirmation that the Nights into Dreams game rumored for Revolution is no rumor at all; they claim they can confirm it is being developed and is being directed by Yuji Naka, that it is 65% complete, and that it will use the Revmote exclusively, no nunchuck or shell.

Yes, please!  Famitsu has a pretty reliable rumour crew, so this is likely!

Once again, rumors point to a June/July launch for the console in Japan, with the rest reciving it between Septembar and October.

Yeah, uh, this is kind of pushing it, but we haven't seen what software is done yet, so I don't think it fair to comment...

The launch color will be white, with black and other colors following soon after. The color will be directly related to the game that comes with the console.

Noooooooo, I want black you heathens!  AT LAUNCH!

The sensor bar under the TV will match with the color of the console.

Nah, it'll be a standard lime green!

Retro Studio is giving Kid Icarus a complete makeover for its Revolution debut. The name of the game is Icarus. They also go on to say that this rumor seems to be the real thing.

I'd love this to be true...

A new Star Fox game is in development. It will rely solely on the Revmote for control.

Not a very surprising rumour...Though I guess one could consider it surprising that it's in development so soon...

There is a horse racing game in development aimed at the japanese market.

Good for the Japanese market...

Fight Night is in development and will use two Revmotes.

If true, it's nice to see EA actually try something new...

Burnout Revenge may not be the Burnoutgame that will be on Revolution. Instead, Revolution will get the next entry in the franchise.

I personally dislike Burnout (and all "realistic" racers), so this doesn't matter to me much...

Peter Molyneux was planning on beggining development of versions of Black and White and The Movies for Revolution before Microsoft bought the company.

Noone cares...

35 develpment kits were sent to Rockstar London/Take Two about a month ago. Nothing about what kind of game it may be is known, but it seems unlikely that it will be a GTA game.

MAYBE IT'S TABLE TENNIS!

One of their sources says that he can confirm that Ubi Soft has 9 titles in development for the Rev, many of which will be launch titles.

Many of which?  Ick, sounds like shovelware ports... =|

It appears that the suspected Prince of Persia version for Rev seems completely confirmed.

Not a PoP fan, and it's not a very exciting rumour or a very surprising rumour, at that...

Super Smash Bros. for the Rev will be subtitlted "Mayhem". (The part of "Caos Total" is simply the way you would say it in spanish, NOT another option).

A name is a name...Couldn't the rumour guys get something (or make something up) more interesting on the game?

Nintendo and Valve were in talks during the month of March about bringing an exclusive new version of Counter Strike to Rev.

After Red Steel and Prime 3, I really won't need anymore FPSers...Good for the American market, though...

The Rev control in Zelda: Twilight Pricness will be used in combination with the shell. Its use will be limited, not a full blown translation to the Rev control wise. For example, using it in situations ehre you are in firts-person view.

Well I certainly wouldn't expect Ninty to use up all their cards on a game that wasn't built from the ground up on Rev hardware in the first place...

However, they do say that an exclusive dungeon may be included that exploits the new caracteristics with a new item. (They do not say to what caracteristics they are referring, though I suspect they simply mean the Revmote's unique qualities).

Not surprising...

Zelda: Twilight Pricness has changed a great deal, and we may be surprised when he see the new images come E3.

This was hinted at by ONM a while back...Can't wait to see them...

Pikmin 3 is completely finished. They cannot confirm *****'s calims that it will appear at E3, but they would expect that would be the case. It will use the Revmote exclusively for controlling the game.

Ehhhhhh, I find this kind of hard to believe...But I guess we'll see at E3...

There will be online launch titles from both Nintendo and 3rd parties.

Oh...Didn't see that one coming!

Sega games on other systems will also be available for download.

On...huh?

Midway is developing three exclusives for the Rev. One of them being "incredible".

I would agree with Mario, but Midway also publishes games...

They vaguely mention there will be two gorgeous RPGs and some new/wierd games at E3.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and Golden Sun!

There will be cheap games between $25-$30.

We already knew this...

Developers have known the new name of the console since January.

Is that really so?

We must keep our eyes on Zoonami.

I've gone blind from looking for them since last E3... >=|

Capcom will have 2 titles for Rev at E3. They may or may not be playable.

Okami better be one of them...

Another big name designer will be announcing a new game for Rev at E3. They say it may be the Naka Nights into Dreams game they reported on.

In other news, if it rains tomorrow, the ground will get wet!

[B}Red Steel will not be the only game revealed prior to E3, although Nintendo will not show anything till then.

Tony Hawk...or something more?

BigTac says that NoA hyped him up when they talked about Red Steel, stating that NoA told him, "This is nothing", "You haven't seen anything yet",and "This is only the beggining"

Actually, they really said "Okay, that's the only game we have...Wait till E3 2007 for the REAL deal!" =D

[Strell]

I call bs on this entire thing for one reason:  Soul Blade was hinted for the DS forever ago.  There was even a screen shot running around that was essentially a mix from the PS version and Dreamcast's Soul Calibur.  The graphics were passable, essentially every N64 fighter.

I.e., it was a rumor then, proven false iirc, and still hovers around as a rumor.

Given that, I'd call bs on everything else, except that some of them will come true purely because some of them have to.  As in Pikmin 3 will most certainly be announced, but there's no way it's 100%.

A June release alone is absurd enough.

It's going to be a long 2.5 weeks....

[Ceric]

But on the flipside these rumors are worth there entertainment value alone here.

[EasyCure]

what if the Kid Icarus rumour was true?
i've never played the game myself nor have seen it played but i do remember him on Captain N: the Game Master (by the way i've dressed as him for MANY a halloween and might do so again this year for fun).
what if it will be called Icarus and we find out they dropped the "kid" in order to release it as some crazy t-m rated game so that xboys pSissys will buy it up becuase they are so insecure and need tough macho games to define themselves. i could see it as a rival to god of war....omg what if Icarus kills Krotos?!?!??!!?!
lol

[Spak-Spang]

A June release is completely ubsurd...unless Pikmin 3 and other Nintendo games are actually finished.  Then it is possible for Japan only.

I personally don't believe it.  I am expecting an October release in Japan and America.

[darknight06]

"I call bs on this entire thing for one reason: Soul Blade was hinted for the DS forever ago. There was even a screen shot running around that was essentially a mix from the PS version and Dreamcast's Soul Calibur. The graphics were passable, essentially every N64 fighter"

Correction, Soul Calibur was hinted, not Soul Blade, and those graphics were PS1 tech all the way.  Soul Blade only appeared on PS1 only, those screens of Soul Calibur seen earlier were from the actual arcade game, not from DS or PS1. (PS1 couldn't even handle the game, that's why a DC version was made and I more than believe a DS version would look better than that.)  If they do a port of Soul Blade, I hope they fix it up some because I remember the PS1 version being cut down just to make it over, and make it run 60fps since the original was 30.

[The Omen]

I don't find the June release in Japan surprising at all, because remember who their main compettion is in Japan?  Sony.  Sony has the PS3 slated for November.  It would be a great move on Nintendo's part to stagger the launch like that.  By the time PS3 comes about, the Rev has all of Japan in a tizzy.  In all honestly, they would only need 6 titles for launch in June.  I don't think that's impossible.

[Ian Sane]

"Retro Studio is giving Kid Icarus a complete makeover for its Revolution debut. The name of the game is Icarus. They also go on to say that this rumor seems to be the real thing."

So Retro's function is to make 3D versions of 2D Intelligent Systems games?

It all seems too fanboyish.  There's too much good news here.  We see this sort of stuff all the time before a console launch.  Some of it probably will be true but if you just list every possible thing people would want to see odds are you'll get at least a few of them right.

[MaryJane]

the power of observation on this site always astounds me.

[mantidor]

"Is that really so?"

Despite the evidence, Im still in denial and refuse to believe Nintendo has chosen such a lame name.

Translation:  Sega virtual console titles will not be limited to just Genesis games.

[animecyberrat]

I dont think that Ds can make a game graphicaly better than Dream cast, Dc was graphicaly superior to PS2 and thats the level PSP is at so a SOul Blade or even Soul Caliber remake would look better than any thing pS1 could do but NOT as good as DC.



The NiGhts thing sounds pretty true to me since I been reading a lot about it at teh Sega forums and the guys there who works for Sega say that they think its true.



Kid Icarus would be cool but I dont expect too many people will remeber the game let alone the name that is unless they watched Captian N when they were kids.


Midway make a lot of irncredible games, especialy the ALWAYS fantastic Mortal Kombat games, so there is no reason to doubt this. Especialy since Midway has posted jobs for Revolution development recently. Also Area 51 has to be one of those games.


Pikmin 3, most likely true but who cares pikmin wasnt that fun.


Fight Night rumnour sounds true especialy since thats what everybody has speculated all along anyways. and considering EA usualy makes decent games its likly to be cool.




As for everythign els eon the list I dont see anything that jumps out as worth replying to.

[Ceric]

Not anyother word about Mortal Kombat.  We all remember what happened last time.

[Ian Sane]

"Pikmin 3, most likely true but who cares pikmin wasnt that fun."

*GASP*  WHAT?!

In my view Pikmin's the best thing on the Cube.  It bothered me greatly that Miyamoto hinted that they weren't really thinking of making a sequel.  If there's any Nintendo franchise that deserves at least one more sequel it's Pikmin.  Nintendo will no doubt continue to release 5 or 6 generic Mario spinoffs and it'll be a shame if THAT dribble gets made and Pikmin 3 doesn't.

[stevey]

"The Rev control in Zelda: Twilight Pricness will be used in combination with the shell. Its use will be limited, not a full blown translation to the Rev control wise. For example, using it in situations ehre you are in firts-person view."

That good then it wont take too long add in...

"Zelda: Twilight Pricness has changed a great deal, and we may be surprised when he see the new images come E3."

I know this will be ture 100%

"Pikmin 3 is completely finished. "

100% bull, Miyamoto say that he isn't going to be working on pikmin 3 even though it be great on the rev insted he want to made a new IP.

Uh, yeah ok, whatever you say.

[Chris1]

Hey don't forget Miyamoto was quoted as having the idea for Pikmin 3 before the second one was even released!

[cubist]

For once I agree with IAN...the experience that Pikmin brought to the table was incredible...I thought it was more of a killer app than Smash Bros. that no one paid attention to.  It really was the one game outside of Metroid Prime that was probably the best single-player experience I've had with the system.  Pikmin 2 came out and eclipsed it and exceeded my expectations.  The one thing better about a twice as powerful REV...is more Pikmin to manage and split into 2 teams.

New rumors from a Japanese site

Quote
- a certain company of familiarity by RPG of a dragon or the last does GATCHIRI handshaking with RPG of the monster of a pocket, and returns to the next-generation machine of a certain company

- seemingly the certain FREE game known for the development costs of 7 billion appears by E3 again, and will start a revolution.

[animecyberrat]

I dont get what all the fuss is about. I have Pikmin, its ok, not great but ok, I think in small does it can be fun but in small doeses, they really should over do it though.

1) Squenix Pokemon RPG
2) Bundle game for Rev

At least, that's my take on it...

[Spak-Spang]

Bill Aurion:

That would be a brilliant move for Nintendo...but would Game Freak want to give its baby and pride and joy away to another company?  

I personally think they wouldn't, but then again they may want to spread their wings and try other games and other genres.  In that case, Nintendo could kill two birds with one stone.

Allow Game Freaks to work on another original idea for the Revolution (or just work on Pokemon DS) and give SquareEnix one of the biggest and most beloved RPG series to make their own.  And in that partnership gain an exclusive Revolution RPG.

[Mario]

I don't see Game Freak going to console development, even for Revolution, at least not in the near future. I also don't trust Square handling the Pokemon series, but as long as I keep getting my fix of proper handheld Pokemon RPGs, they can go nuts on the consoles I guess. Personally I prefer the sparkling innovation spinoff games on consoles though, Pokemon Snap 2 please!

[Spak-Spang]

Mario:  Pokemon Snap was a Rare and interesting game.  I enjoyed it, but wished it was a free roaming adventure in the wild to take pictures of Pokemon...so yes I sequel that completely fleshes out the idea is definately needed.

The formula for Pokemon is pretty simple.  As long as they put a team on the game that won't CGI' It UP (Read F'It UP) then I think they could craft a compelling story and even evolve the battle to a more advanced game.
