A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

You count the Wavebird as a revision? Wasn't it revealed and annouced before the Cube even launched?


Well that's merely correct, but what's your point?  They released a revision of a controller.

"Well that's merely correct, but what's your point? They released a revision of a controller."

There's a big difference.  By annoucing the Wavebird prior to the Cube's release the userbase knew about it beforehand which gave them flexibility when they bought their console.  If they were interested in a wireless controller they knew not to immediately buy four wired Cube controllers.  They knew when the new controller was coming out and thus could wait for it.

What I'm talking about is more like the Xbox controller revision.  The userbase buys their console under the assumption that there is one standard controller only to later discover that had they waited they could have got a different one.  Thus there's the possibility of someone feeling ripped off because they just bought four of the old controllers.  With the Cube anyone who did five seconds of research didn't accidently buy four wired controllers.

Plus technically I wouldn't consider something that was planned from day one to be a revision.  Revision suggests that they go back to drawing board and rethink things.  The Wavebird was more of an alternate controller than a revision.  It wasn't standard issue.  It was like an arcade joystick.

It's not a big deal anyway because both Wii controllers will work with the same games.  It's not like when Sony added two analog sticks to their Playstation controller.

You know  Ian's right when he says that in the end it will all come out in the wash.  But I think the revisions will just be something really minor in the overall scheme of things.

It's going to be...THE COMPILATION OF ELEBITS!

First we get Elebits 2!

Then we get Elebits breeder!

Then we get the Elebits platformer featuring the Elebits as playable characters!

And finally we get Elebits: DDR edition!

Oh and don't forget the announcement of an Elebit joining the SSB Brawl lineup!

Maybe Nintendo can find a small developer to blow 2 years on a MGS2 port.

In a rather shocking revelation this weekend, an anonymous Nintendo rep revealed to GameDrift that a plan is running through the pipeline to colorize the, as of now, rather bland coloration of its hit console, Wii. The rep did not reveal detailed specifics, however did remark that a red and black console have been confirmed.
Not as if we didn't see this coming, but new colors for Christmas sounds like a good way to keep sales going. I just wish they had a nice dark 'royal' blue Wii in the planning.

I want royal purple.

I think a DDR for the Wii is almost a given once they figure out how to make a Dancepad peripheral that will plug into the Wiimote and how to doa controller mode with just the Wiimote.

It's probably Castlevania related. The most current EGM on news stands says something about an exclusive announcement in their next issue. I recall them saying something along the lines of "fans of Symphony should stay tuned" and it didn't seem to allude to SotN on Xbox Live. The next EGM should be hitting newsstands within in the next week or so. Some subscription holders might even get them in the next day or so.

My next guess would be something Metal Gear related, though Castlevania still seems more likely. The 3D iterations of the series kind of got lost in the shuffle on PS2 and to a lesser degree Xbox. I think it could flourish on Wii considering the console and Nintendo consoles for the past 2 generations have been so light on action/adventure games of that type. Castlevania is bound to perform better without the likes of Devil May Cry or God of War stealing the spotlight (which were just better games than Lament and Curse).

I'm hoping for a 2D Castlevania. It wouldn't have to use the Wii remote. I'd be happy enough to see a new console Castlevania.
