News
when will more revolution news be announced?
Matt responds: Shortly after the Leipzig Games Convention. I don't have an exact time frame -- it could be a day or a week, but I don't expect it will be much longer.
FYI the Leipzig Games Convention will be held on Wednesday, August 17th.
So what do you guys/gals think? Is some new info. being released? Specs? Screens? Controller details?
Post by: wandering on August 16, 2005, 12:17:51 AM
If they do decide to release all the info in September, here's what I imagine happening:
Parent: Billy, you want an xbox 360 for christmas, right?
Billy: Nah...I did, but now I want a Revolution, it looks super cool!
Parent: But Billy, Revolution doesn't come out until next year.
Billy: Aw, gee whiz!
Parent: I know! Lets get you a Nintendo DS with Nintendogs this year, and a Revolution next year!
Billy and Parent: HOORAY!
And I imagine the following will also happen:
Tomello: Dude, are you getting Zelda, it looks totally RAD!
Wintermelon: Nah man, I already threw my GameCube out.
Tomello: That's okay! Zelda will work with the totally happenin' REVO as well!
Wintermelon: REALLY? I'm totally getting that totally happenin' REVO I just heard about!
Tomello: Then let's go preorder Zelda RIGHT NOW!
Tomello and Wintermelon: HOORAY!

wandering: Unlikely. Why would the kid suddently want a DS? It's either the X360 or the Rev for them.

But this could be huge so I think it should still have it's own thread
Anyway, back to the discussion. I think that the cool part about Nintendo holding the most secrets and releasing probably last is they are holding the most cards. They have the most surprises and information to share with the public and can time these announcements whenever their hearts desire. Now...could this have anything to do with cheering up some fans after they announced the zelda delay? Before they had zelda to compete with the x360 but now they just have their "secrets".

Bah, that's not a real showing. They don't have time to dick around anymore. The X360 launch is probably about three months away. They have to show us the real deal soon if they expect anyone to care. Plus as Bill mentioned the "interface" of the console is the whole point. If they really have something special they can't just show screens. And if they don't have anything special then they're a bunch of complete dolts for waiting so long and deceiving their fans.
I'd rather they show nothing then some half-assed showing. After E3's carrot dangling I'm not going to put up with more bullsh!t.
Post by: nickmitch on August 16, 2005, 08:30:08 PM
On a serious note: I agree. Nintendo does need a show all event. But they have to do something to appease the fans for now. A date on exactly when they'll let the cat out of the bag would be nice. . .

Yeah, sorta. A live stream is a must as well! Or maybe they can have a URL to a movie magically appear when the timer reaches 0, or a whole new website opening, the Nintendo Revolution website.

Nothing can match the hype now. Nothing feasible at this point in history anyway.
Nintendo will be fine though provided they have something cool for the controller that doesn't just seem like a gimmick and shows some games that really get people excited. They could should the Cube controller with an extra button and everyone would be disappointed and then they could completely win everyone back with the most impressive launch lineup seen in years. The games are the most important part.
I think the most important thing is that the Rev immediately looks like it can compete with the competition. The "Nintendo is going to lose" stigma is what needs to be overcome so that people have hope in the Rev. That THIS time Nintendo's going to end up better than they did before instead of worse.
Post by: kirby_killer_dedede on August 17, 2005, 07:48:10 AM
In your last mailbox you mentioned that there would be more information about the revolution shortly after Leipzig. How educated of a guess is this?
Matt responds: I wouldn't call it a guess.
Curious. Veeeery curious.

The most interested quote is:
"What are the new games of the future really going to look like? The titles of our innovative Nintendo DS give an idea of this."
This is interesting because the DS isn't known for its graphics. In fact its 3D graphics look kind of, well, crappy, at least compared to the PSP. I don't get what they mean by this or at least I don't see how "it's like the DS" in terms of graphics is something to draw attention to. If the question was "what are the new games going to play like?" then the DS comparison makes sense but "look like?" DS games don't "look" all that unique.

Post by: KnowsNothing on August 17, 2005, 08:21:01 PM
If that answer is taken in a completely literal sense, the Rev is going to be a 2D system, what with all of the innovative DS games being 2D. That's not going to happen.

Good point about the Games Convention still being on. "After the Leipzig thing" does that mean after Nintendos speech or after the whole thing? It could still be a while 'til we hear anything.

Just imagine him sitting there, he sets up the desktop just as he wants it for the snapshot. If he wanted to emphasize "History Repeating" all he had to do was highlight it, not even play it. So picture him having the whole desktop set up as he wants it, why would he then wait 3:15 to take the snapshot? Or why would he accelerate the time on the song to 3:15 for the snapshot. There has to be something of importance with those numbers.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 18, 2005, 01:03:11 PM
They understand the nature of the internet beast and rumors. Matt knows all the rumors and I am sure stuff like 3.15 aren't coincidence...but a joke to see if people speculate.
I am looking at the picture but I don't want to take anything for truth or speculate because it could all be a joke.

Besides the 360 (so what) {or whatever it says} song I don't think Matt handpicked all those songs to show up on the list. They are all from the same band...so he probably just selected the Band that had the clue or whatnot he wanted.
The 3:15 isn't neccessarily anything. I think that is a joke. Or it could mean several things.
A true unveiling on 3/15/06
A launch that date
They will have 3-15 launch titles.
The picture was taken and a major coincidence happened.
Matt put it in there as a joke.
The Dark Tower could be named because his computer is in a black tower, which is somewhat different for Apple Computers.
The only thing that really jumps out for me is the topic Do you think we will get Revolution news tomorrow? I don't know why, but I think it is something obvious like that...but perhaps not that.
Post by: stevey on August 18, 2005, 01:41:50 PM
News from Leipzig. This morning, I interviewed Yuji Naka, creator of Sonic. I asked him just how revolutionary the upcoming Nintendo console really was and he answered: "I am under a strict NDA, so I can´t really say much. But I have seen the Revolution and I think everyone will be very pleasantly surprised, when Nintendo reveal everything."
In a few days I will be able to view the tape and write down the entire answer he gave. But this excerpt is good news already. Sorry for the lack of posts while I´m at the Games Convention - but please hang on in there"
Ok now I can't sleep for fear of missing the revolution
I wish the give a date. when is this thing going to be over so they can unveal the revolution. 
look at this avatar we fanal see it back

Hell, some seriously overzealous IGN message board readers spent hours last night and hours more this morning dissecting a screen grab of my computer desktop because they thought I was hinting at Revolution secrets.
I personally don't buy it, there is no way that he just took a quick snapshot of his desktop and it "just happens" to have so many slight references to the current gaming scene (xbox 360 and upcoming Rev news) Maybe if there was just one case of coincidence but this is too many to write off as simply that. I'm not sure if he is hinting at anything or if he did this on purpose just to mess with us, but that snapshot was planned IMO.

In an answer to this WHOLE topics, more Revolution details ARE coming soon. I think Nintendo will feed us the details primarily through spaceship. Think Independence Day, where there's nothing but the ship in the sky because its so huge. Except the ship is one big N. And on the bottom of the ship, there's a huge video display. At least that's what this little kid told me. I trust my sources though.

Thanks Chris.
Er...first of all, yeah 360 is highlighted. 3:15. Blah blah blah. I didn't buy it...until I noticed the song he was listening to. History Repeating. I wanted to see wtf kind of music Matt listens to so I looked at the lyrics of this song (my Internet's too slow to go find the song and actually listen to it...
). One stanza stands out."The word is about, there's something evolving,
whatever may come, the world keeps revolving
They say the next big thing is here,
that the revolution's near,
but to me it seems quite clear
that it's all just a little bit of history repeating"
That confirmed it for me.
CONSPIRACY
(I don't know why I get this gnawing feeling in my stomach that Matt's out to screw with our minds and this means nothing at all)

156 songs? Add 100 to that, and it's 256, which is double 128. He's obviously hinting at something Mario 128 related there. Where did I get the 100 from? Simple, 100 seconds = 1:40 minutes, which comes from the 104 PM's mixed around to make 140, because obviously he wouldn't directly make it 140, that would be too easy.
10.7 hours of songs, what could that mean? 10th July? What happened then? Hmmm there's 59 days between then and September 9. 59, what significance could that have? 5 + 9 = 14. 14 - 9 = 5.
Now we have 5! 5 announcements on September 9? Maybe they will show 5 minutes worth of trailers? Will the Mario 128 trailer go for 5 minutes?
Hmmm, the fifth day of the week! OF COURSE! It's a friday, TOMORROW is Friday over there in America land! HOLY CRAP, FRIDAYTON!
EDIT: OMG!!! I really had to add another 5 to that! Friday the 19th + 5 = Wednesday the 24th!!! WEDNESDAYTON!!!!

The time he decided to post that picture was 11:16pm. 11 + 16 = 27. Matt hinted Zelda wouldn't arrive til April, with that he was obviously trying to imply something, April 2006 + 1 (because of the one Link in the pic) = April 2007 = the 27th of that month is a FRIDAY.

The song "Spybreak" hints towards stealth levels akin to Gerudo Fortress in OoT and Forbidden Fortress in WW...It's 6:58 in length...Add the numbers together to get 19, BUT again we add Link (because he IS the star of the Zelda series) and you get 20! SATURDAY!

19th is winning. 19 is the magic number. We will see the HUGE Nintendo Revolution blowout in the next 24 hours. Hmmm, I wonder what time we'll see it? 3.15pm, or 3.15am tomorrow? 11:16pm? Oh well, at least we know it's SOME time tomorrow! (even though it's ALREADY the 19th here, slow Americans)

Alright, just to recap, FACTS we've CONFIRMED so far.
- Revolution news sometime on the 19th of August
- Has something to do with Mario 128
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 18, 2005, 07:20:13 PM
Oh, and 128 -> 1+2+8 = 11... 11 + 9 (the magic number in the pic) = 20...The news is on the 20th, which is Saturday...

this is the funniest thing I've seen all day long, thanx for the laugh guys.
p.s. your both right, the news conference that contains the news will be started on the 19th but the actual news will be announced after the stroke of midnite on the 20th
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 18, 2005, 07:29:22 PM
History Repeating, which is the song being played, has 16 characters in it...The song is approximately 4 minutes long so 16 + 4 = 20...

- Mailbag submittion: When will more revolution news be announced?
Matt responds: Shortly after the Leipzig Games Convention. I don't have an exact time frame -- it could be a day or a week, but I don't expect it will be much longer.
- Mailbag submittion: In your last mailbox you mentioned that there would be more information about the revolution shortly after Leipzig. How educated of a guess is this?
Matt responds: I wouldn't call it a guess.
- "Nintendo is revealing more and more about the Revolution, and there should be some interesting announcements very soon."
Also, keep in mind that next wednesday is the 5 year annivesary of the GameCube unveiling. I'm thinking, perhaps, we'll get our info then...

According to Babel Fish, the goal is to move Lakitu around by shouting. If this is the Revolution I will sue Nintendo for taking what's looking to become one and a half years of my life to the Interweb.

Shouting seems appropriate since if that is the Revolution shouting will be a common response from Nintendo fans. Stuff like "NINTENDO TEH DOOMED!!!" and such.
Seriously though a voice controller would probably be the lamest possible thing they could think of.

Post by: stevey on August 19, 2005, 08:37:59 AM
"The graphics looks like Sonic R. "
that because it is a tech demo.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 19, 2005, 08:40:42 AM
Do you not realise that controlling a game by voice just requires a microphone and the software advanced enough to determine what you are saying and how to react to your voice.
In other words, at the very most this is only a PART of the revolutionary controller. A microphone...which you know what was pretty much a given. I assumed from the beginning we would have a microphone built into the controller.
At least now we see Nintendo is trying to figure out innovative ways to control games with a microphone...which is really cool.
Post by: Ian Sane on August 19, 2005, 08:41:15 AM
No they don't. Aside from the Bullet Bill which looks like it was intentionally made to resemble Super Mario World the graphics look at least as good as Super Mario Sunshine. It's not very impressive and this footage certainly wouldn't sell consoles but the PS3 and Xbox 360 footage really isn't all that hot at first glance either. It's not Sonic R or anything like that. It's pretty smooth with rounded edges. If something other than Mario was being shown then it would probably look good. It just looks like EAD half-assing their Mario graphics again.
It is possible that the mic is just one of several features like the DS has. But still Super Mario Talk to the Game doesn't sound even remotely appealing.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 19, 2005, 08:47:10 AM
The Graphics aren't top-notch because this isn't a Nintendo game that is being made...its more or less a tech demo for technology that may or may not be used in the Revolution or other Nintendo products.
Remember this could easily be as well a DS game, and then the graphics are extremely hot and fantastic. (I am not saying that it is a DS game, but I am putting things in perspective.)
Post by: Ian Sane on August 19, 2005, 08:47:23 AM
Heh heh. Very extremely. That suggests this scenario:
"Lakitu move left."
*does nothing*
"LAKITU MOVE LEFT"
*does nothing*
"LAKITU MOVE LEFT YOU STUPID GODDAMN MOTHERF*CKING PIECE OF @@@$#@&%*&$##@^%@^"
*does nothing*
Voice control sucks because it's too inconsistent. If you tend to mumble or have an accent or a lisp or something you're screwed. Voice command stuff like on phones and such never work for me. I'm just too mumbly and speak too fast. Half the time human beings don't understand what I say. The hell a damn machine is going to.
I push a button and it works 99.9999999999% of the time unless the game is buggy as hell. Voice control isn't innovative at all. It's a total gimmick.

CURRENT voice control is like that...But what if the technology was there to perfect it? Then it would be a pretty cool addition to any game (obviously not the whole point of the game)

Still largely a gimmick. What advantage does voice control really have over buttons? Technically you can have a lot more complexity with a talking game but the programming would be insane to allow enough options to make voice superior over buttons. Plus button games are QUIET. I don't know about you but I don't want to have to talk the whole time or hear people playing in the same room talking.
Plus that's a big what if. "What if Nintendo has discovered better technology than anything currently in the market" is NOT a realistic possibility.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 19, 2005, 01:50:50 PM
Voice Controls allow games like Animal Crossing and Nintendogs to be more accurate to how you are supposed to be playing the game.
Another game that could really benefit from Voice Controls is Star Fox.
Imagine telling your Wing Mates how to fly and get into different formations...or help shoot people attacking you. It would be a very intuitive control system.
How about in RPGs. You can now just control one member of the party and instead of jumping from character to character realism is added by communications to coordinate attacks and ask for health spells.
In Advanced Wars DS. You take the role of a general, able to look upon several battles at once. Talking to the different field officers and telling them how to run their campaigns to help the bigger war picture.
There are several innovative ideas you can come up with for good voice control games...items that really bring genres to a new level of realism and interaction.
Also if you could get great voice recognition and commands I think you could literally bring female gamers into the market with new pet sims, and dating sims and such.

"THere a quite strange mini-play which was placed at the disposal of the visitors on the Nintendo stand in Game Convention 2005.
The goal was to shout very extremely in order to make move Lakitu , the caméraman present in Super Mario 64 DS . A world in 3d was very well carried out with pipes, bombs, plants, all that drawn from the universe of Mario .
Remain to know now if this mini-play were just there to amuse the visitors where well if this one were a new approach of the next plays on Revolution.
The mystery remains whole...."
and ha ha mario it's is 9:00am sat. in tokyo town you are the weakist link good bye.
Post by: Ian Sane on August 19, 2005, 02:02:23 PM
I love the Star Fox idea but I can issue commands to wing mates in Rogue Leader without a microphone. Sure I can only tell them four options but that's realistically all we would have here. It would take for too much development time to make it so you can tell your wing mates to do anything. They would have a preset number of "commands" no matter what. Where voices work is in online multiplayer games where you can tell your wing mate actual commands and they'll interpret them because they're human. Otherwise it's just "go after the fighters".
In real life if I was playing with my brother I could say "go after those homing bastards" and he'll know what to do. He knows who you mean even though you weren't totally specific. With a game you have to say "go after the homing defense missiles". Like you have to use the real name. You would have to say real positions. With a human you can say "to the side of me" and they can tell that there are two bombers on one side of you and a small rock on the other. The computer might shoot the rock, or not do anything because you didn't say "shoot", but a person would know what to do.
It would take incredible complexity to design a voice command system that wasn't just the equivalent of saying what button to press.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 19, 2005, 02:10:18 PM
In Star Fox, I think if you kept the commands limited to 2 or 3 word sentences it is very feasable. You state the Wingman's name: "Falco" wait for a response: "Yes Fox" Then respond: "Help Me" Then the computer sees what enemies is attacking you and sends Fox over there.
It might be faster with a button press but not nearly as cool.
Yes they would have limited commands, but you can open up simple commands to added more complexity.
It might be limited to:
Help Me.
Attack the Boss.
Evausive manuevers.
Fly for Repairs.
But if you can tell your wing mates individual commands...all of a sudden those 4 commands become very strategic.
Post by: Ian Sane on August 19, 2005, 02:15:34 PM

I believe it was Ares who spoke of some extremely awesome war game for Rev. I'm not saying I necessarily believe him, but his game idea was a cool one anyway. It seriously gave me goosebumps reading his description of the game. It's not a new idea, but I seriously think it would be awesome to be in the middle of combat and deciding on the fly what your people are to do. If anything's close to "real-time" strategy, it would be this.

I think that video would make the perfect intro to a 30 minute infomercial.
I actually think Nintendo should do a 30minute infomercial and play it on late nite TV but originally air it during prime nite-time and prime morning-time television. Full fledged demonstrations and testimonials complete with the 'limited time, over the phone, special bonus offer' with an 800 number and website url at the bottom for purchase and information.
I don't know about you guys, but I would probably watch the infomercial all the time, and do you have any idea how many things get sold through infomercials? Whether you need it or not, you want it. It sounds like a good idea to me.

Every console but Virtual Boy... wonder why that one got no mention at all?
and the the video is an HTTP movie and those take a while to load, so let the web page just sit there for a while as you go about your normal web surfing and you will hear when the video start about a minute or two later
edit: I went to a party last nite, a i ran into this guy that did an internship over at Ubisoft, said that they were working on games for X360 and stuff like that, So I asked him about the REV, the system and more imortantly the controller. He said that there was nothing special about the contoller, just that it was avery GC like only smaller. I didn't find out anything special, but I figured what he has seen was just a bare bones revolutionless dev kit controller.

He was full of BS. Interns don't see things that some major game studios even haven't.

Not only that. He survived the initial accident. He got out of his car to make sure the other driver was okay and was struck by another car. He was great man behind some of Nintendo's greatest ideas, franchises, etc. He's the reason for Metroid and the Gameboy line for example. He died being a good person. He was making sure that the other driver was okay. Let the man RIP.

The glasses and microphone could also really easily be copied. I guess that's the point since Nintendo is so worried about it. But seriously Sony could just release a seperate mic and it would probably have the same amount of games that use it released. It's not something that every game is going to use or at least not in a logical way. There's only so much you can do with 3D glasses and microphones so they might as well be accessories because they're not the sort of thing that was wide appeal. The NES came with the lightgun but how many games used it? Some stuff like the analog stick works for almost every game and some stuff only works for a few types of games. The Rev needs an "analog stick". It needs something that can and will be used in nearly every game.

Note that 24th is two days away, and exactly a week within the conclusion of the Leipzig GC as Matt of IGN predicted.

where did this page from nintendo.com come from? is it a fake?
what did I miss?
why is this news not out? shouldn't it be on the front page of cube.ign?
If this is true, its awesome. Forcefeedback gyros in the controller and head gear with stereoscopic screens and a mic. All that is left is the surface mechanics of the controller. Will Nintendo stick us in the ass taking away both analog sticks and giving nothing back; leaving us with a dpad and face buttons? I'd rather lose the face buttons and dpad. I'd like to get something new like a trackball. It would really tie it all together well.

OK,
Heres what I've got.
If you go to the real press.nintendo.com... you will see it requires a UserName and Password to enter.
Now in the URL line type press.nintendo.com/object?id=7972 That is the URL that appeared in the screen grab in question.
It says... "Object 7972 is not displayable."
Now change that number at the end into 7973.
It says the same thing right?
Now change that number into something higher or random.
It says... "Object ID specified does not or no longer exists."
You see, that doucument referred to in the picture in question did/does exist, as well as another one 1 digit higher.
So, thoese two doucuments do exist. A random number is most likely to come up empty.
This means that either the guy got lucky to know the number of a doucument, or he really did see a document with that number.
Heres a possiblity, he wasn't a member to the press section, just a small site/news publication who likes to check that page to get the public information that doesn't require a password.
However, maybe he stumbled upon the document posted in the public area my mistake. Nintendo, quickly fixed this error and moved it to the members section, hence the reason "Object 7972 is not displayable" rather than "Object ID specified does not or no longer exists."
Well thats what I've got right now. Ain't nothing like some fun spectulation at 6:30 in the A.M.
Also, this from a member over at N-sider

If Matt is right about the relative announcement date, I'm going to guess that we might see something at Penny Arcade Expo. It runs this Fri-Sun, Nintendo is attending, and there is a "Secret Event" on the schedule.

As much as I love Penny Arcade that seems a little too low profile for the debut. The only site that covers PAX is Penny Arcade itself. Would the big game press even be there? Though Nintendo could always have told IGN to come. That would explain how Matt knows and it would make sure someone is there. It realistically wouldn't take long for news to travel but it would be nice to get personal accounts of the debut from different sites.
Aside from the lack of coverage debuting at PAX would be a good idea because it would create tremendous goodwill in the Penny Arcade community. That's not just Nintendo fans, that's hardcore gamers in general. If almost every forum member at Penny Arcade bought a Rev at launch I think it would really help sell the Rev to hardcore gamers. It would build up a lot of word of mouth. Hell that's pretty much how Katamari Damacy and all of Nippon Ichi's games sold.
Post by: Spak-Spang on August 23, 2005, 08:01:54 AM
After reading your post are you for or against a Penny Arcade news release?
I don't think this news about to be released is going to be a full revealing of the system. I think its going to be something more subtle, and something to tide us over for awhile.
I would like to see some in game videos running real time of games being released...and perhaps technical specifications for the system...and perhaps even more information about the download service. Give us a vision of the future without showing us the future would be great.
I don't have to see the controller, I don't have to see any other accessories, I just need to know work is still being done on the system and visual proof it will rock. I just want to see something to make me smile, and go OH YEAH!!!
Post by: couchmonkey on August 23, 2005, 08:45:39 AM
I hate to say this, but what Nintendo needs is a launch on MTV. Show more games and more interesting stuff than the XBox 360 MTV launch, but otherwise, yeah, go for it. Whore some celebrities with no clue, talk about polygons and other stupid crap, but mostly, show off what makes the system unique. The point is to reach the casual crowd...while still delivering the goods that the hardcore crowd has been watiing for.
Of course the most likely scenario is that Nintendo will go to some already large gaming event, or will announce a big press conference, and then show us what's going on. That personally suits my tastes way more than a cheesy MTV launch, but I think that Microsoft had the right idea and the wrong execution.
Edit: summarized thoughts.

The interesting part is though, that Nintendo did not have a presence there last year, but are going to this year.
Anyway, I will have my camera on hand and I have internet there and at the hotel so I will hit all you guys up if I find anything. My personal theory is that either wednesday or thursday will be a large scale press unveiling and it will be available to play at PAX. =P
Well maybe that's more of a dream than a theory.
Also, Ian hit it right with PAX's fanbase. Nintendo has no shot and the MTV trend market. Debuting there woudl be a waist of money. Debuting at a convention run by a video game site with a HUGE fanbase of all different types of gamers is the way to go.

1. Hardcore gamers don't like mainstream pandering and Nintendo's fanbase is pretty hardcore. So they run the risk of allienating their fanbase my going to MTV. MS got a lot of flack from the hardcore crowd for their MTV stunt.
2. Nintendo just isn't very cool so showing up on MTV might have the opposite effect. It might just expose how incredibly out-of-touch Nintendo is to the MTV crowd.
I'm thinking that the problem with this idea is DEBUTING on MTV. I think the debut should be through the usual gaming media channels so that us fans can see the controller, specs, price, launch date, and launch games at our own pace with a significant amount of detail. We won't get that level of detail on MTV. Later Nintendo can have their own glorified infomercial on a mainstream TV station where there's less detail and more hype. Why does it have to DEBUT on MTV? What difference does that make?
One thing I think Nintendo should definately do aside from maybe an MTV show is to have a segment on the Foxbox on Saturday mornings. They already have Nintendo oriented shows like Kirby and F-Zero (or at least they did last time I watched the Foxbox) on there so having little breaks between shows where Reggie and some host are showing off the different features would be a good way to get info out to a key Nintendo market. Most blocks of kids shows on Saturday morning and on weekday afternoons are encased in a big block that has a common host and segments and such (when I was a lad we had the Disney Afternoon) so putting Reggie as a guest for those segments is a no brainer idea.

No brainer there. What was a big problem with the Cube? The rental stores treated it like sh!t from the beginning. Nintendo could overcome that problem by having some promotion with Blockbuster to encourage rentals early on. The problem was that nobody carried Cube games because nobody rented them yet nobody rented them because nobody had them. Nintendo makes a big hooplah with Blockbuster at launch ensuring that every launch game is available and some deal like a free rental with every Rev purchase and problem solved.

Taken by itself, no it doesn't seem to offer much in the way of returns. But a closer look reveals a stronger marketing push from FOX, believe it or not, a new night, and continued accolades from critics. All of which is very similar to Seinfeld going into its third season on NBC. I believe you jump on board with something before it hits big. Besides, always better to advertise everywhere, than nowhere.

Two weeks after the GC launch, my local Blockbuster had employees tellling me Nintendo may go out of business, so they don't stock the GC like the other two consoles. I wanted to punch him in the ear, but I figured demanding Nintendo to actually offer incentives and advertising in store would be the more peaceful solution.

Oh well, that's off-topic anyway.
An MTV launch may tick off hardcore gamers, but I ask you: what dedicated Nintendo fan is going to change his mind about buying a Revolution because it debuted on MTV? If Nintendo gives us good sequels to certain games, that's all it will take to sell practically every person here on Revolution. Having said that, a "real" debut followed shortly by an MTV debut would be an equally good or better idea. I also agree that Nintendo could screw it up and look out of touch, but I think all you need is Reggie and a focus on the T and M rated games to look in touch.

Moving to a new time slot is usually bad for a show instead of good, at least in my opinion. See Family Guy, Titus...basically every comedy Fox debuted on Sunday and then moved to a different night (except maybe Bernie Mac). Seinfeld gained from moving to Thursday nights because people were already watching NBC on Thursday nights. As far as I can tell, Sunday is already Fox's biggest night...it's definitely the biggest night for comedies.
While I agree with you, there are some notable exceptions. All have one thing in common-they moved to a slot behind or ahead of an already hoighly rated show. Arrested Developement should be put on before 24. But that can't happen because of tyhe schedule. Maybe after House? I already forgot what night AD has been moved to. Hopefully not Wednesday or Friday.
But anyway, the point is, Nintendo can advertise everywhere, and saturate the viewers of any show with Nintendo goods. The advertisements have to be 'cool' of course, or they lose the big time effect. There has to be something so kick ass that people talk about it the next day.

I assume that if something was going down tomorrow we would get a little more notice about it. It's kind of silly to have a "named" event and then have no build up to it at all.
I'll assume nothing's going down. Better to be surprised by a debut tomorrow instead of disappointed about a no-show that wasn't promised in the first place.

In the first half they say there will be an announcement "very soon," and in the second half they define "very soon" as "tomorrow." Not syaing it means anything, it was just poorly constructed as if they were making it up as they went along, oh ho ho"Christmas comes early this year" is a very strange title. Perhaps Nintendo, using the Revolution's new features, has found out that Jesus was really born on December 24 due to time zone differences.

Now the last thing Nintendo needs is another Never Happening fiasco, however it could be worth noting that a European event is scheduled for August 24th, in which we’re promised Christmas will come early!

What if Revolution comes early? Would it be bad to release a system you have hyped at all? Yes it would. So obviously that name is probably just talking about the treat in knowing about the Revoultion. But having it titled Christmas comes early...THIS early, doesn't make sense either.
Unless this is an announcement for a larger event. Which is my bet. If this information is true, I can see Nintendo just announcing a date for the big reveal and perhaps a small video clip.

There will be lots of heated discussion, beer and fun...but no major Revolution announcement or otherwise.

He then stated that he is fairly sure it will happen BEFORE TGS, but if it didn't it would DEFINATELY happen at TGS. He didn't mention it in those words, but it was fairly obvious.
What is really funny is, it just proves he really knew nothing at all.
Another thing to remember is we are all assuming that this announcement is coming out of nowhere, but Nintendo could be communicating to the press and keeping things hush hush until the event...and that could mean it could be a fairly big announcement and unveiling whenever and whereever it is.
Though, I have to ask Bill, why do you believe it will happen on Mario's Birthday besides the significance of Mario's B-Day...does Nintendo have a track record of big announcements, or any announcements on that day?

Mario could be turned into a great fun 2 hour movie, where Zelda would need to be an OAV series, for a longer story.

There's also a story that Square will most likely support DS and the REV with Play on(Square's online service). I guess not a huge surprise.

Revolution revealed in detail @ TGS
Quote
You’ll be pleased to know that a full explanation of Revolution will be made by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during his Tokyo Game Show keynote address. This news represents completely finalised Nintendo plans – Iwata will fully outline The Secret on 16th September 2005.
Nintendo is assembling key media to attend this year’s show, due to take place between 16th – 18th September 2005. Iwata will make his presentation of current activities at Nintendo. He will outline current projects and will then - unveil the Revolution in all its glory.
The Revolution presentation will include an explicit outline of the hardware and its controller and input mechanic, as well as illustrate exactly how it will work. It will go on to show games running on the system and how they make use of the technology.
Mario 128, or ‘New Mario’ as it is dubbed internally at Nintendo, is expected to be the star of the show.

Here is a quick recap of some points up to now:
E3 2005: Nintendo promises more Revolution news by years end. (they are running out of opportunites)
Quotes From Matt off of IGNCUBE Mailbag
-August 15th: "Shortly after the Leipzig Games Convention...could be a day or a week, but I don't expect it will be much longer."
-August 16th: "I wouldn't call it a guess" (responding to question, "How educated of a guess is this?")
-August 23rd: "I can tell you with confidence that in a worst-case scenario, something is going to be announced by the time Tokyo Game Show rolls around in mid-September"
Quote from Bernd Fakesch, spokesman and General Manager of Nintendo of Europe (@ Nintendo's GC 2005 press conference in Germany)
-August 17th: "The only thing I can tell you is that very soon there will be important news about Revolution."
From Spong news report
-August 26th:
- full explanation of Rev made by Satoru Iwata during TGS keynote address on Sep. 16th
- full outline of hardware and controller
- show games running on the machine
This blogger after speaking to the writer of the article believes this news is reliable. Saying, " this information is undoubtedly accurate...he is a reliable journalist with excellent contacts in the industry"
Additionally, Gamespot's recent "Rumor Report" covered Spongs story and concluded, " We'll see next month, but sources close to Nintendo say a next-gen Mario demo is a strong probability."
From the Blog BlackNMild2k1 posted above someone claiming to be an artist for a gaming company in Japan has posted on his site some works he says is his "fun arts" that blatantly relate to Nintendo.
-August 27th: Here are two images pointing to the 9/15 news release date:
Picture 1
Has 51 / 9 (or 9/15 backwords)
Picture 2
Has a blatant 9/15 05
-September 13th: This special day marks Mario's 20th anniversery since his release on the NES in Japan on September 13th, 1985. (Linky)
(thx for the heads-up from M@jorM@xiM on todays PGC Mailbag)
I know that none of the above sources cannot be trusted 100% but would this not be enough combined to make this thing all but certain to go down at the TGS? This is their chance to steal the show and spotlight. They are reaching that breaking point where it could really hurt them to keep their big announcement from us any longer (especially the closer we get to the Xbox360 launch). They certainly have the anticipation...now they just NEED to come through.

Yeah, even if Nintendo did have this up their sleeves and planned on having the Rev release this christmas all along (which is incredibly unlikely), I don't think that the price would be that much...nor do I think that Game Asylum would find out before anyone else.

Anway, more onto topic. I know many of you don't really like IGN...namely Matt but he keeps saying that the controller will be shown at TGS. His newest mailbag quote:
IGNCUBE mailbag (Sep. 1st)
Quote
The Controller
Hey Matt,is Revolution supposed to be shown at the Tokyo Games Show, or is [site] yankin' my chain?
Matt responds: Any report that claims to have a copy of Iwata's speech is false. These speeches are often not written until days before the events and only a handful of people would have access to them. That noted, there will be Revolution news at TGS and sources have indicated that the company would like to unveil the controller at the event. Again, it should be a very interesting month.
With the amount of times he's saying this will happen if he's wrong he'll probably get a record number of hate-mails or something. If only we new 100% from Ninty themselves. Then I'd suggest a countdown or something because with all this speculaiton and guessing and debating this would be a huge thing for this forum. It may actually take away a lot of our material to talk about...but then again once we know we can have a hay-day on how it can be used. Hopefully they show a few games too that can get us hyped up once again.
2 weeks and counting?

Nintendo has proven with the DS that it knows what it's doing.
It made an incredible system, advertised it well, created incredible games for it, got key third-parties to make incredible games for it, and made it a big success. The DS's Fall line-up is IMO by far the greatest Fall line-up of any game system ever created. The DS's only problem is that it was perhaps rushed to market and it took a while for its real potential to kick in. Fortunately, it appears that the Rev won't have the same problem or, if it does, it won't be nearly as bad. Nintendo has proven it knows what it's doing (at least as of recent) and whatever the REV ends up being, it's sure to be amazing.
BTW, speaking of comics. Check the latest at PGC regarding Pictochat. It's funny and true and not a waste of time.
Post by: couchmonkey on September 02, 2005, 07:28:04 AM
Well, Matt only said they'd like to show the controller. I really think Nintendo should bite the bullet and do a full-scale unveiling at TGS, I think the time is right. If Iwata at least announces the date of the full-scale unveiling (and that date is before U.S. Thanksgiving) I'll be a happy camper. If Nintendo waits much longer, Xbox 360 will be here and backwards compatibility and free online will be the only reason for gamers to wait for the Revolution. Well, that and the great potential for Xbox 360 suckiness - still, I think it's time. I can't wait!
Post by: Ian Sane on September 02, 2005, 07:35:56 AM
There's a point where "they'll steal our idea" ceases to be excentric and becomes insane. If they don't show the Rev at TGS, when the f*ck are they going to show it?

Does anyone know how large the gap was between a large-scale GameCube unveiling and its release, for comparison?

Post by: BigJim on September 02, 2005, 10:37:09 AM
So there was a 12 month span between solid details and the Japanese launch. As an aside, Nintendo was never quite this anal about supressing details from developers this late in the game, though. So that part is different.
Their excuse for not discussing pricing until much later was due to the impact it'd have on financial numbers. So even if we get hardware specs and some demos, it's possible that we won't hear about pricing, other than that it will be "competitive", for a little while longer.
Edit: I still have the original videos that PGC filmed from Spaceworld 2000 (cheers when seeing a Luigi game, the audible grunts of Billy pissing his pants at a very alpha looking Wave Race, etc). PGC doesn't have them on their servers anymore. Boy those were fun times.

Give a tech demo, show specs, show videos, and offer exciting information about new IP's or old IP's rehashed (Kid Icarus or something). If they show the controller, then they should show EVERYTHING else. Tell us what the REV online setup will look like and how it'll function. Show us the real REV system; what it looks like when it's powered up; what the main menu looks like and so on and so forth.

It is new and it is on Puissance Nintendo in first. It is regretted just that the Master remains still a little too discrete and that it appears only in this type of media to be expressed so naturally. Even if the secrecies prove kept still well on the various projects of big N and that the dad of Mario cannot reveal some too much. Normal.

Good thing about this one though is the blogger states it's fake if he finds out it is. Anyway, according to the nifty countdown on the top of the blog, 5 days 18 hours left!

The same argument could be used for why they should show them. If they mean nothing why not just make their fans that want to know them happy and show them. If they are done and final nothing will change them so there is no reason to hold the info. back. Besides, it's not the system specs they even care about mainly...good way of showing you are confident with how "unimportant" specs are by appearing to be affraid to show them. If they aren't worried then they sure aren't showing it by appearing to have something to hide...which contradicts their whole master plan they go on and on about.
P.S. Please forgive me if my posts sound negative today. I've had a terrible day and I'm in a rotten mood so I remedied it with watching more Katrina news and then getting depressed watching the music special "react now"...man I need to go to bed.

First we have another patent regarding laser projection, headsets, sterioscopic images etc etc....... Anyways, here's the link
Patent
The strange thing is that no where in the patent does it make mention of Nintendo but in the URL address, you can see it has Nintendo RS written in there. I'm not sure how relevent that is since the person was doing a search for Nintendo patents. That could've appeared given the word "Nintendo" was what he was searching for, yet RS wasn't included in his search. Probably meaningless but worth bringing to your attention regardless.
Second, one of the forum members over at Gamespot had a quick chat with Ray Almeda, Head-editor of the Advanced Media Network, and this is what he had to say
Quote
Almeda: “Why I know it's coming...? Let's just say that THREE THINGS are planned for that day that will be HUGE for Nintendo. 2 we know... 1 we speculate.”
Quote:
Almeda: “Why I know it's coming...? Let's just say that THREE THINGS are planned for that day that will be HUGE for Nintendo. 2 we know... 1 we speculate.”
DS109: "are you allowed to disclose those 2 things?"
Almeda: "yes, Mario 20th Anniversary, GB Micro launch, All on 9-13-05 in japan."
Almeda: "9-13-05 on the U.S.A., on the other hands is 9-14-05 in japan.
Almeda: "Tuesday night... that's all I'll say."
Almeda: "I'll spread the word... because I know more insider details that I can't talk about right now, but if you want more... pay attention to AMN on Tuesday night... possibly other sites will follow too."
The forum member says he has proof of said conversation and is willing to provide it with a PM. If this holds up to be true, seems like we'll have some type of news coming out of AMN's site on tuesday night. Only a matter of days now people lol.
Post by: wandering on September 11, 2005, 01:27:28 AM
The thing is, I believe Nintendo is actively trying to avoid direct comparisons between REV and the other 2 systems. That was their strategy with the DS: they sidestepped PSP's superior graphics capabilities by coming out with a system with 2 screens and a touch screen, so that when you put the systems side-by-side it's hard to compare them.
I'm assuming that the REV's specs are good but not spectacular. If they released them now people would jump at the chance to compare the REV to the other 2 systems using those numbers, and they would probably come to the conclusion that the REV, at the least, is not the best of the 3 systems. But Nintendo is making sure that people aren't making judgement calls like that right now...and that when people are in a position to directly compare the 3 systems, they won't be able to just look at the specs because REV's unique features and visuals will overshadow the numbers.
It's a good strategy, much as we might hate it.

I guess the problem I see with this stratagy is that it doesn't matter if they have released the specs or not, most people (even people like you who I'm assuming is a Nintendo fan) have already got it in their heads that the Rev's specs are inferior to that of the other consoles. As of now people can't say it with 100% certainty but people are saying it none-the-less due to numerous hints given by Nintendo and their console track record pointing in that direction. I mean, just the very fact that they won't release the specs is probably reason enough to believe they aren't as good because if they were there wouldn't be as much of a reason not to release them right?
Overall, though, I think you're right and Nintendo has good reason in their stratagy to not reveal the specs. At least not until they give more information on the consoles unique feature's first.

If the DS shows us anything, its that you can have the better hardware without having the best graphics. Besides, I wouldnt doubt that Rev games will look very similar to XBOX360 games, but wont be able to run at 720p. So unless Revs special features suck, I would expect Rev to have great success.
It's hard to say if games will run at the higher resolution (not just 480p) because Nintendo stated that it would hook to a computer monitor. Unless they want their visuals to suck ass on that monitor, they need to bump up the resolution.

QuoteHmm...sorry, but I can't think of any Nintendo console yet that has been underpowered compared to the competition. Remember when people thought that the PS2 was more powerful than the Gamecube?

When has Nintendo produced a graphically inferior console?

I guess I should have simply said track record because I was mainly thinking of the last few products they have released (portables) which haven't been anything new or bleeding edge tech-wise (3 GBA designs and now with the DS). I was mainly thinking of the DS and how they say it's going to be a similar concept in how they are approaching the next gen for their console.
From what I understand they usually downplay graphics and huge tech specs to a certain extent for a more realistic look at what their machine can do and placing an importance on the overall structure and how well each component interacts (avoiding bottlenecks, etc.). You're right, though, I shouldn't have said "console track record" because for the most part their consoles are all-around well designed and turn out to be worthy competition for the other consoles.

I was showering this morning and thinking about Kaplan's comments about how "we are securing rights" and such. And I then I thought about how there can't be demoes in stores. And then I thought about how it will be revolutionary, how it's going to be an entirely new way of playing games, how no one else has done it yet BUT could easily copy it, and how seemingly everything has been telling us that it will be something we've basically seen before, but not exactly utilized correctly. I thought about how the graphics are supposed to be on par with the other systems despite the size of the console, and how older games will be updated. Then I thought about the sanity system Nintendo just patented.
And it hit me.
Drugs.
Nintendo is going to make drugs legal. The Revolution is the start of societal crumble because it will make drugs legal and the main interface.
I mean, why else patent a sanity system? And even if the graphics aren't as good as the others, you'll be hallucinating so badly that it won't matter. And then playing all of those old games will be REALLY SUPER AWESOME instead of just mildly awesome. You'll see things that aren't there. Hell, there's going to be an HUD on the system that shows the exact percentage of sanity you have left.
This explains all of the following:
1) No demoes.
2) Can be copied easily.
3) Graphics debate becomes void.
4) New ways of playing, but have been utilized (c'mon, you all know people who are high when they play games).
Feeling is better? Feeling. How you feel. Not touch, feel. Emotions. Reactions. Psychological.
Use your right brain? Precisely.
Something you've never seen before? Of course! You're going to be seeing a lot of things you've never seen before!
That's it, I am very sure of this. I win.

Well, they can have demos - but supplying the drugs will get too expensive for Nintendo - so gamers eager to get the full "Revolution" experience, will have to bring their own bag of goodies to the kiosks.

When you go with Mario, the first mushroom's always free.(TM)
That should be Nintendo's slogan.
If they, you know, decide to go the mind-altering drug route.

I know plenty of hallucinogens that can be grown for dirt cheap. ;P
At any rate, I simply am hoping against hope we hear something at TGS. I am getting impatient. Though not as impatient as the MeGTn months.
