I can't even tell what's rumor and what's fact anymore.
Do you see what's happening? New rumors are popping up before the old ones can be verified. My buffer of tolerance has been overflowed.

Quotes from IGN
Quote
Farrell did confirm that THQ is developing "games for Revolution."
Quote
Backing that up, he also firmly stated, "We are commited to Nintendo's [Revolution]."
Quote
However, when asked about what plans Nintendo has laid out for THQ, Brian was hush-hush on the matter. But he claims that based on his discussions with the hardware giant, he feels that "Nintendo is waking up."
WOO! HYPE HYPE!
Quote
Finally, when confronted with the question of whether or not THQ was in possession of development hardware, Mr. Farrell declined to provide specifics due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). All he would say was that "We're seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform."
I think that quote is a hint that LOTS of devs actually know stuff about the Rev but can't say anything.

I'm not sure what this means, but I'd like to think it means that right now they are in a better position to get games out for the Rev launch and beyond than they were this time before the cube launch. Which, if true, is amazingly fantastic news.

Interesting...
Is this a play on the sleeping dragon metaphor? If so, then this is great news.
As for Farrell or whatever declining to answer if he had in his possesion a developement kit or not, automatically means he does. If not, he would of said "no." Which I'm sure doesn't violate an NDA...

Now, if only I knew anything about the Rev., I would be extremely hyped.

But "We're seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform." sounds pretty encouraging. Did THQ release games during the 16-bit era? I never heard of them until WCW vs. nWo: World Tour. Still better than the N64 and Cube is pretty good. Nintendo's on the right track at least.

The only really good news about it is that if THQ wasn't supporting the Rev then it would be in serious trouble. So it's more not-bad news than good news.
To me, that equates to good news. It's all relative. This wouldn't be news for the PS3 at all, but considering it's Nintendo, it is good news indeed.

I still wouldn't get any false sense of security from it. I know an EA LA artist, and they don't know anything about Revolution yet. It could be because that particular studio simply isn't going to focus on Rev development, or possibly Nintendo is picking favorites.
Being friendly with a select few isn't very helpful in the big picture. A few companies knowing a lot doesn't translate to a vast change in policy. So we'll see what unfolds in the next week.

Back to THQ...their GCN WWE games will be important to sell hardware to people who are both hardcore fans of WWE and Nintendo.

The quote just makes me happy...especially when skies are grey.

But even Rare was committed to making Cube games at this point in the Cube's prenatal stage.

I'm thinking that based on the title "THQ ROCKS"...he was trying to give away hints...maybe a music based game...OR maybe he saw The Rock on a WWE game for REV. He has pictures of himself and another guy holding the controller saying that it feels really comfortable.
Personally, DOR2 got way more playing time on my GCN since it came out because my nephews enjoyed it so much. I'm hoping for a DOR3.

QuoteI think it was the Spongebob game - Tommy Tallarico talked about it too..
Looking at Matt from IGN's blogs...we see that he attended a THQ event that featured a demonstration of the controller and a game, which he states he can't write about...
And yeah, Day of Reckoning blows the Smackdown series out of the water. I can't figure out why people like SD better; the only thing in those games that is superior to DoR is the presentation.
