They said as much in their interview with the developer a while ago, I believe.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nintendo France confirms Rev controls for Zelda
« on: February 28, 2006, 05:32:25 PM »
I could understand saying the WW character models are less "Zelda" than Ocarina's, WW's are very stylized and as such that's a fake argument. But the world of Wind Waker is almost a literal 3D version of LttP! And Minish Cap is the same thing. The enviroments are LttP's only more detailed.
Exhibit A:
And exhibit B:
Now we'll just each keep our own feelings regarding my proof that WW looks more like LttP than Ocarina does.

It can be critiqued as a gaming device, but not a portable game system.

It's not a portable gaming device. It's a portable computer. It's not tyring to be an iPod or a handheld, it's a very specific device. If anything it's a mix of a laptop and a palm pilot.

TalkBack / RE: Nintendo DS Games Nominated for GDC Choice Awards

What is UP with the industry? They're acting like morons with these awards.
RE4 gets ONE nomination? It loses out to THE MOVIES?
And God of War? WTH?
Even the Oscars aren't this flat out stupid.

I didn't notice that. Here in Canada the prices are what they've always been.
Still for some games it won't make a difference. EA already has to spend the money for HD for Madden so they don't save any money with the Rev version. They might still overcharge.
Some XBOX360 games here at 69.99. GCN games are 49 or 59...

But we don't really have a lot of details on exactly how it works. We know of some bar thingy that's supposed to go on top of the TV but if you asked me what it looks like I couldn't tell you. Nintendo has never really talked about it. I think the only reason we even know about it is that IGN revealed it when they gave impressions.
I think we still need to know more about how the controller works. It's probably better than the Eyetoy but who knows what limitations it might have.
Sometimes I wonder if you actually read things or just go by what people say second hand.
NINTENDO has mentioned the censors before when asked.

As KDR just touched on, the physical eye reading size of the movie screen may not appear any bigger than the TV, but the amount of detail contained most definitely is.

This is like arguing over whether a rose is still a rose if you call it a stinky. The Nintendo Seal of Quality indicated it was an officially license game/product. It stemmed from issues like the unauthorized Tetris being sold for the NES. The current Nintendo Seal indicates the EXACT same thing. They just changed the wording so it doesn't guarentee 'entertainment value' anymore, which is a smart move considering the crap people can release.
Different name, same function.

F-Zero GX is one of the first ninty-published title to lack those words. That's when Nintendo started telling us the truth. It's all downhill from here, people.
It's the exact same seal. Dropping two words doesn't mean it isn't the same thing. The description is also similar, they just dumbed it down so it's less content specific. They haven't actually monitored quality in like...well over a decade?

I imagine it DOES KNOW. The sensor bar provides an origin/reference, otherwise the lightgun/"point n shoot" mechanics in one of the E3 demos would not work (if it really was based on line-of-sight targeting). It's up to the individual software to CARE about location or not.
This ties in with that new "light gun" for PS2/Xbox that also uses sensor bars on the TV's sides. If it knows, say, where the front & back ends of the gun are 'in-space,' then it can calculate a line using those 2 points and extrapolate to determine where the line-of-fire meets the TV screen (specifically, the plane defined by the sensor bar). Rev has that, and more.
But the bars don't measure physical location. You'd have to totally redesign them for that to work.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Why is the console so small?
« on: February 26, 2006, 08:57:25 AM »
I own (my mom owns...) a 32" inch Panasonic SD she bought with our DVD player. It supports component input and that's what we use for our DVDs. When I compare the picture quality with an HD setup in say...the Sony Store's living room of the future diplay thingy (which is a brand new HDTV hooked up to a brand new DVD player with compnent) ours looks as good, or better. The HD is sharper, yes, but because the resolution of the DVD is lower than the TV, you can clearly see blurry backgrounds and pixelated elements because they're encoded at a lower rate. Whereas on my SDTV everything is smotth and pretty, and the limits of the format aren't visible.
HDTV is GREAT, but DVDs don't take advantage of it...And the picture quality for video games just doesn't matter that much...

so I guess I am torn, but I dont think it will affect REv sales AT ALL.
That really makes little sense. SNES games would look just as good on an SDTV. The HDTV would probably have better clarity, but the colours wouldn't be as good.

Can I also point out that HDTVs aren't really that useful. The only thing you can use it for is television and video games. DVDs aren't the same resolution so playing a DVD on an HDTV isn't going to give you any better quality than on a really good SDTV with component cables. And most places charge more for HD channels than just getting standard definition (or at least require a unique cable package) so it's no different than broadband. Until Blu-Ray becomes the standard, it's pointless. I mean the PS3 needs to have HD compatability if it has Blu-Ray. But unless you want to buy a PS3 there's little point.
I thinK HD will be becoming the standard within the last two years of the Rev's life. And by that point its fate will be long decided anyway.
