This actually seems somewhat plausible. The thing that's bugging me, though, is that the press release refers to the console as 'Nintendo Revolution' instead of just 'Revolution'.

But I'm very disappointed in you, Mantidor.
And you, Pale. And you, KDR.

If you don't show your support for Our Great Leader Iwata, the Secret Iwata Police will have to come and get you.

What's that, you say? The impending IWATATON is making me lose my mind? That's ridiculous!

edit spelling

I'm confused. How much time is left?

DQ would be HUGE in Japan, I kinda doubt it. If it is true, then we might start saying that Nintendo has a good chance of topping Japan again.

I have a feeling we aren't gonna see anything.

What we aren't gonna see, is nothing! Meaning we'll see something!

I don't know whether or not to trust the Dragon Quest thing, but it's totally possible. The way it's worded it could even turn out to be a crappy spin-off like FF: Crystal Chronicles. YAY! Sorry, being a little too cynical there...seriously, I'd probably go INSANE if they announced a real Dragon Quest game for Revolution, and even a spin-off would make me happy. DQ VII is one of four or five games that make me want a PS2 very, very badly.

Pale · « **Reply #35 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:34:26 AM »

I'll be kind of pissed if SE lets (the real) DQ go multi-platform, but not FF. It just doesn't make any sense not to release FF everywhere. It would sell on all the systems.

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #36 on:** September 15, 2005, 05:42:19 AM »

hey i just snagged Iwata's transcript from my contact within spong : "we're going to do something totally different with teh Revolution; we're going to change the way you play games. Expect a launch in late 2006 with a full unveiling at e3. {silohuette of controller displays on teh bigscreen} peace out!"

NotSoStu · « **Reply #37 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:27:14 AM »

Stimutacs, frankly I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Damn you Nintendo! DAMN YOUUU!!!!

Toruresu · « **Reply #38 on:** September 15, 2005, 06:40:58 AM »

If that is whats going to happen....I'll be buying a X360...NOT

I'll just wait, like everyone else.

"I managed to see it before the site went down, though, so no worries - it's real."

Your image isn't working for me so I'm a little sceptical.

Dragon Quest on the Rev could be huge or it could mean squat. If it's not exclusive it means squat sadly. A spin-off won't be that big of a deal and if the real DQ is on the PS3 and the Rev well then it's nullified. A multiplatform release wouldn't give the Rev much of an advantage, if any at all. Though it wouldn't be much of an advantage for the PS3 either. So it would be better than nothing but not enough to declare the Rev the winner. It could give Nintendo an opportunity to get ahead since it would put them on more even footing and allow them to gain ground with their own exclusives. But that would require some serious effort and timing. They can't just fluke out.

Pale · « **Reply #40 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:45:12 AM »

God Ian.. F*ck declaring the rev the winner... Last i remember you just wanted to be able to play as many games as possible.... Doesn't multiplatform give you that?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #41 on:** September 15, 2005, 07:49:03 AM »

No, they won't. Germany got a patent on secret polices.

"Last i remember you just wanted to be able to play as many games as possible.... Doesn't multiplatform give you that?"

Yeah it does and I would be happy to get Dragon Quest. I'm just trying to keep down any "if we get Dragon Quest then we automatically win" stuff. That "rule" won't apply if it's not exclusive so no one should get too excited yet.

9 hours and counting until Iwata b*tch slaps the collective faces of non believers.

7 hours and counting until I have to be at work....OWN3D

This thread sucks. It's pointless. I'm going to have to rifle through 16 pages of posts tomorrow morning to find out what happened at TGS. A new thread should be made when some actual news is revealed (thus putting all actual news on the first page of the thread) and then have it followed up by 12 pages of people celebrating/bitching (depending on what's released). This thread should be re-named The Official Pre-IWATATON Speech Thread.

My avatar technically isn't of Iwata, but can we just pretend that it's Iwata reincarnated as an almighty being?

Pale · « **Reply #45 on:** September 15, 2005, 09:33:07 AM »

There's nothing stopping Artimus from editing the first post to keep it up to date.

stevey · « **Reply #46 on:** September 15, 2005, 09:35:51 AM »

"This thread sucks. It's pointless"

no it not is easyer to refresh 1 thread evey sec then to refesh the other 13 Iwataton threadids every sec a keep a look out for new threadids.

less than 8 hour woot woot !!! I've gone nut for Iwata puff woo hoo!

Not really. With big speeches like this, doesn't PGC generally have a stream-of-consiousness thread that starts well before the speech does? News will be posted to the main page.

Iwata reincarnate your avatar is, or Iwata reincarnate your avatar is not. There is no pretend.

Actually, that's a common misconception. Nintendo was the FIRST to introduce a secret police force. Problem was, they didn't have the in-house resources to produce enough officers to be effective....and they were unwilling to contract out to 3rd parties to get the job done. har-dee har har

The Omen · « **Reply #48 on:** September 15, 2005, 10:09:59 AM »

DQ would be big in my eyes. It would show Nintendo going after the big games Sony has horded for years. I actually would expect more to follow... And no, I will not support the Iwata avatars only rule. I use my own avatar, of my own hero.

Plus, I'm a fascist anyway.

I finally just finished a big test that was inbetween me and IWATATON! Now I can roam free without stupid textbooks getting in my way! =D
