And more NDA's.

I liked this one so far (still reading)

Quote
Ken Sugimori (Game Freak, art director of Pokemon): "You'll be able to do things with the Revolution that you could never do with consoles before," he says, adding with a laugh, "Personally, it's the kind of hardware where, more than making games, I'd rather play them."

Pretty good impressions... that text input game is the exception that proves a rule though. So far, no developer has mentioned any examples of games that could use the controller or how... in contrast with the DS, which had plenty of announced games by this timeframe after it was unveiled.

There must be a reason for the NDAs and the secrecy. What else is Nintendo hiding? They've already revealed their big secret... why are games not leaking out to the press yet? Why aren't they showing actual games or letting anybody else show theirs? Is it just that they don't want to be shown up until they can unveil Mario, Zelda or Metroid? Or is there something more here?

Remember when Ninty first "revealed" the DS as just a dual-screened system? And then remember how it was the later revealed touch screen that the DS was primarily about?

Eurogamer: Is the freehand-style controller your trump card, or have we got more exciting stuff to look forward to?

Jim Merrick: Let's just say we have more surprises in store.

Freehand wireless....

Kouichi Suda (president of Grass Hopper Interactive, the studio behind Killer 7):..."I've already finalized a plan. Now, all that remains is to make it." Judging by Suda's comments, we can probably add Grass Hopper to the list of Revolution developers.

Experimental gameplay? Experimental controller? Sounds like a winning combination! Maybe we'll see a sequel to Killer 7, or something to that effect? Who knows what he'll think up next...

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #57 on:** October 21, 2005, 04:36:03 PM »

Maybe he can make a console version of Contact (DS)...We could always take more RPGs!

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #58 on:** October 21, 2005, 04:57:06 PM »

But how reliable is Jim Merrick really? What does he know about Nintendo Ltd. Japan's secret internal rumblings? If Reggie could be wrong about Mario 128 being at E3, Jim Merrick (a name I haven't heard before) making stuff up to sound impressive wouldn't really surprise me.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #59 on:** October 21, 2005, 05:07:01 PM »

If Reggie could be wrong about Mario 128 being at E3...

Yeah, so did Miyamoto, so what? The game was transferred to Revolution, and that's why it wasn't there...And NOE isn't nearly as out of the loop as many people think, considering the number of leaks we've gotten from them over the years... (such as Paper Mario GC an entire year before it was officially announced)

The Omen · « **Reply #60 on:** October 21, 2005, 05:38:27 PM »

Yeah, I'm quite certain the higher ups at both NOA and NOJ have all the Revolution goods. Afterall, they'll be in charge of revealing it more fully.

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #61 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:37:42 PM »

Good stuff indeed. There does seem to be the sense that we're (the public gamer) missing something. Some key element to the NRS has yet to be uncovered. What I'm wondering is remember when we were told that the Revolution would use technology not yet used in a gaming system? Was that the controller or is it possibly something else?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #62 on:** October 21, 2005, 07:44:22 PM »

We were? The only thing I recall is Miyamoto saying something the exact opposite...Saying it was NOT new tech, but it hadn't really been applied to games yet...

Stimutacs Addict · « **Reply #63 on:** October 21, 2005, 08:51:11 PM »

you two said the same thing

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #64 on:** October 22, 2005, 03:04:09 AM »

Not really...The tech HAS been used, but not to a great extent...I just worded it funny...

I think we're forgetting the real brains behind Nintendo! NAL! No one else could've known about Metroid Prime: Echoes.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #66 on:** October 22, 2005, 09:59:06 AM »

Speaking of Echoes, where's Metroid Dread? Does that game even exist?

cubist · « **Reply #67 on:** October 22, 2005, 10:36:27 AM »

All the game creator quotes show promise for Revolution development; however, unless I really hear some actual game announcements about work that is in progress and what they're readying for launch, THEN I will start getting excited. It feels like we're having a Revolution news drought now and Nintendo seems like they're going to want to hold on to all fo their secrets until E3 2006. This is approximately 7 months away.

Ever since the unveiling of the controller, I've been clicking away hoping to get some NEW information ever since. Now, the reality of the WAITING GAME is starting to settle in. Anybody with me on this?

Unfortunately, I'll still be clicking away...too much of a "fanboy" to begin with. S#!T!

IceCold · « **Reply #68 on:** October 23, 2005, 08:41:18 PM »

Paladin: Yes, it's a game... Nintendo hasn't officially confirmed it, but there are quite a few rumours out there. It was supposedly going to be unveiled at E3, but I think that it was too early in production to be shown. I remember it was shown in a magazine (Game Informer?)which had many other games that were supposed to be shown, and were, but unfortunately this one didn't show up. Craig also mentioned it in his mailbag

Quote
Metroid Dread is indeed the real deal, though Nintendo may have jumped the gun in letting people in on its development. It showed up in early E3 documents, but since it wasn't going to show, it was quickly dismissed and forgotten at the Expo. Expect more to show up about the game next year.

And I believe that the Revolution quite possibly will have more features - perhaps something that's embedded in the system so that once the PS3/X360 hardware is finalized and in production, they won't be able to copy the Rev. We can't forget the Iwata quote where he said something like "One of the features of the Revolution is something that doesn't affect gameplay at all. I know that this is one of those mysterious comments but..."

King of Twitch · « **Reply #69 on:** October 23, 2005, 09:28:28 PM »

Metroid 'Dread' +

new, undisclosed, nongameplay-related features..

= FEAR PACK.

Now you can FEEL the terror as a metroid sucks your head off. Miyamoto's a genius.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #70 on:** October 23, 2005, 09:49:07 PM »

It sparkles with innovation! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

cubist · « **Reply #71 on:** October 23, 2005, 11:06:49 PM »

Metroid Dread? How the hell did I miss this? I guess all of the disappointment of not seeing any games along with XBOX 360-love and PS3 FMV drowned out this important development.

Miyamoto shouldn't get credit for this one...as Metroid is created by Gumpei Yokoi, who is now deceased. Also, Retro is doing all the work for this sans the music and Miyamoto's right hand man who visits them. Of course, that's if development of the game is the same as it was for Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Still, Miyamoto is a genius!

MrMojoRising · « **Reply #72 on:** October 24, 2005, 01:22:07 AM »

Dread is supposed to be a 2D game for the DS.

I'm still waiting for word on this and Katamari DS.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #73 on:** October 25, 2005, 06:54:12 AM »

I believe MrMojoRising is right about Dread. I read something about it in Nintendo Power, I think.

Edit: looking back a few posts....Jim Merrick held Reggie's position (or something similar) before Reggie came along. IGN used to interview him and Perrin Kaplan at the same time quite often. I bet he knows what's up, but I'm not going to get too excited about the remaining secrets because I'm afraid they won't be as cool as the controller. I love the controller...a lot.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #74 on:** October 26, 2005, 08:44:50 AM »

IGN has more dev impressions!

Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase, one of the company's most respected producers (he's behind the whole Final Fantasy VII thing), reveals that he loves to go home after a long day's work, lay down, pick up the television remote with one hand and flip channels on the television. Games require him to move and hold the controller with both hands, and for first person shooters, things get even worse, as he's required to set up a table, mouse and keyboard. Kitase believes that the Revolution controller will allow people to play while laying down, using the controller to shoot things and wield guns. More strikingly, he states that the Revolution controller doesn't just change the content of a game, but the lifestyle of its players.

If anyone recalls, Kitase was the director of FFVII...Other respected game industry gents such as Akihiro Hino and Tetsuya Mizuguchi give the thumbs up to the system...
