I was very suspicious, but since PGC posted it, I thought it to be true.
However, go to the discussion in the REV furom and you'll see why I called it fake from the beginning.

TalkBack / RE: Twilight Princess to Use Revolution Controller
« on: December 23, 2005, 01:13:17 PM »
Has anyone seen the 30 minutes of gameplay footage on GameTrailers.com?
I must say that Zelda is THE most beautiful game I have ever seen. Its not all graphics, per se, but the feeling you get from watching it is.....is akin to WindWaker. I mean, it is so fluid and so inviting. It feels like a living, breathing world.
When Link is fighting the Head Master Bore guy in the open field, the game looked incredible. I absolutely adored how the clouds's shadows glided across the plain.
Anyway, I don't know what the point of this post is. Maybe I'm trying to prove the Zelda can hold its own as a next-gen title....then again, maybe not.

You guys are thinking way too hard about this.
I know the wait sucks, however, once you get the game in your hand you WILL NOT CARE. I garuntee you that you'll be just happy to play the damn game. It's kinda the same thing with dogs. Dogs don't bitch at there master for leaving for a long time, instead, they are happy because there master is back.
Once we get the game, we will be so happy that we can finally play the game that the past wait will become obsolete (sp?). I honestly believe that this game will be the ONLY game to score a 10/10 from every game critic out there. So who cares if there is a delay? If you don't like it being FC (a first by the way, in console gaming history....and what better game than Zelda?), then you probably don't like the fact that: A) you have to wait; B) you won't get a REV and thus won't get everything out of the game.
If we hadn't known Zelda was in development, "A" wouldn't exist; therefore, the point is irrelevant. We were given the priviledge to know that a new Zelda was being made.
Point "B" is irrelevant as well because you can play through the ENTIRE game only using the GC.
This is a very smart move by Nintendo, and everybody seems to forget that Nintendo is BUSINESS first. As much as we want to play the game now, it can't happen as long as Nintendo tries to maximize profits.
Mantidor: You say that releasing TP close or during the REV launch will not produce higher TP sales or REV sales. How can you say that with a straight face? Many people want to buy TP, but don't want to buy a GC. This way they cannot only play TP, but choose to play TP with REV controls, thus effectively advertising the REV as the true "next" gen console and the next Zelda.

If it's as groundbreaking as we hope, then there is no need to pack it in. I mean, did they pack-in Mario 64? No, yet everyone has that game because its so damn good. It would be redundant and alot of potential sales could be lost.

« on: December 22, 2005, 08:41:49 AM »
I honestly believe that Nintendo will pack-in a gamecard good for one or two game downloads rather than Mario REV.
I really see this happenening. Then again, the most popular game downloads will probably be the first Mario or Super Mario World, so it's kinda taking away the from the sh!itload of profit that could arise from those two games alone.
Still, packing-in a gamecard would get consumers aqquainted with the Virtual Console. Plus, as they are looking for Mario, simply scrolling through the mass quantity of games is sure to entice consumers to buy a couple more sometime. Honestly, the VC could become the most addictive and most profitable aspect of the REV. The pack-in gamecard could just jump-start that addictiveness.

« on: December 22, 2005, 08:27:24 AM »
Oh no!
There was a crazy debate about this earlier and I think we all decided that a demo level or two should be included to show the features of the REV, but they should be unrelated to the actual game (e.g., sword-fight with a soldier, fishing mini-game).
If what that sight says is true, then the controller can be used throughout the game.
I must say that I am very excited at the prospect of playing Zelda with REV controls. I was going to play the game at least twice anyway, but now I have a great reason to do so. Playing my first time through with regular Zelda-esque controls, then playing the second time with REV controls. It's a win, win situation.
One more thing: Does anybody remember the part in the E3 trailer where Link rams his shield into the head of a Stalfos? What if, secretly, that move was done by the REVmote? I know its far fetched, but I can't help think its possible. Many people have came up with different control methods for Zelda REV and every single one allows for Link to directly control his shield. So thrusting your shield forward is definitely an option.
Anyway, I think I'm reading into this stuff way too much.

Speaking of over-exposure, a new article has popped up regarding developers and their opinions of the Revolution.
http://www.revolutionreport.com/articles/read/229
Nothing but good things have been said about the REV, and yes, I know that it doesn't translate directly to thrid-party support, but still, it has to mean something.

Nintendo confirmed the Revolutions ability to play LAN ad-hoc style. It would be utterly worthless if you could only have 4 REVmotes play at one time.
I'm sure they figured out a solution, so I'm not worried about it.

I just had a great IDEA!
FOOSBALL (sp?) REVOLUTION!
I don't know about you guys, but I can't get enough of the 4-player mayhem that is foosball. This game is far more addicting than billards or table tennis.
Anyway, I haven't figured out a control scheme, but its lending itself to double REVmote action. To play 4-player you'll have to play either LAN or Online (preferably LAN, since seeing your opponent is part of the fun).

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Revolution taking 1st place in sales/marketshare? And what would that mean to us?
« on: December 09, 2005, 01:38:49 PM »
I see it this way.
Nintendo is like a buffet. There are people with trays offering small but deeply satisfying finger foods to a sea of potential buffet diners. Once these people actually try the food and acknowledge its rarety, the tray people point them to the buffet where they can help themselves to some more.
Now these people head over, and look! There's more just like that guy said, but they can't help but notice the other wonderful foods (that, although different, are just as tempting and even more satisfying.) So out of plain curiousity, the people take a couple of what they had already, but a variety of foods they've never seen.

I just found something very interesting.....
The REV secret that will be displayed May, 9th must be huge. The venue they are going to use in none other than the Kodak Theater. It is where the Oscar acedemies is held. This place is huge, being able to site roughly 3,500-5,000 people.
It seems that Nintendo's taking the whole Hollywood code name a bit serious.
Anyway, at last E3, Nintendo used something 3 times smaller.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Hooking up to a monitor
« on: December 08, 2005, 11:35:00 AM »
Honestly, I have a feeling HD will never catch on and will inevitably get skipped with higher technology.
Once Holographic Disks catch on later next year (which they will), hopefully major companies from hollywood will you use it for media presentation (allowing zero compression). Then, TV's that maybe HD will be compatible this technology, but some new TV will come out allowing a direct transfer of information off the disk and onto the screen with resolutions coming close to or on par with the latest computer monitors.
The future...

And even if you could, there's a lack of screenshots or videos of anything remotely related to the Revolution at the moment. All that people can go on are supposed specs of power even though most probably don't know what it all means.
Ideally, yes, gameplay would be the best indicator of how factually "good" a game is. But it's hard to quantify and it's hard to point out. In a shallow consumer culture where people are wowed by how sleek, stylish, sexy, and spectacular something can be, it's hard to sell something on a deeper level alone.
At least the Revolution itself is pretty sleek and stylish. The gameplay just by the controller alone is already unique, so hopefully there'll be lots of demo stations set up and commercials that let people understand what it is. I think there are some people who don't even understand the DS commercials...
Well now you see why Nintendo wants people to play and watch at the same time. Like you said, proving gameplay through vids and screens isn't possible.
Ian, you can bitch all you want right now, but mark my words: Once there are actual playable demos for the REV, you will careless about what the games looks like. That's the key....

Well maybe the cost relates to it though no one who isn't some sort of insane mental case would NOT buy a console just because it supports HD because it would still work on a normal TV. Technically having monitor support might raise the cost of the console too. There are all sorts of variables regarding cost. But the HD feature itself, ignoring everything else, would not turn away anyone but the lack of the feature will. Not too many would be turned off just because of the monitor thing. It's so minor few will care at all.
Hell my Mom is sour on the Rev just because of the HD thing and she doesn't own an HDTV and probably won't for a long time. To her the very fact that they're ignoring something she sees as a future requirement suggests incompetance. She doesn't think highly of Nintendo for overlooking something that to her seems obvious. Like if they're too stunned to see the importance of including HD support they're probably not capable of making a decent product. This is one example but my Mom IS in Nintendo's target demo for the Rev.
Everyone who walks into a store like Best Buy or the electronics section of a department store knows what HD is within five seconds of looking at the TVs or talking to a salesman. It's a big buzzword right now and people who don't even know really what HD is would ask "does it support HD?" when buying a console just because it's something they heard about that supposedly is cool.
You obviously didn't get was I was saying.
Adding HD doesn't expand the market of possible consumers. Those that have HD already have a TV. To Nintendo, being cheap is better than being high-tech.
So now they support regular TV's and computer monitors. This yields the highest possible consumers at the cheapest price. You can't argue this.
