Anti-Nintendites, you gotta love 'em! :roll: Please learn a little before you post, Sega went software becasue they were nearly bankrupt when they released Dreamcast, while Nintendo still has plenty of cash left. Also, if you've actually been reading the praise Nintendo's been getting for the controller, you'd probably think otherwise. Oh well, you can think what you want, you'll just be missing out in the long run.

dude no matter how good a game looks, the game has to have good gameplay and story to make it a AAA title. I go with Lefein on this one. NIntendo is very innovative with their system but they have to be innovative with the games too. Its Mario over and over again. Try making new characters, their is something called overusing characters :lol:

They have said before that their will be a new franchise for the launch, so you don't have to worry about that.

wow... some people...
Companies as good as Nintendo and Sega shouldn't be forced to do smaller stuff, just cause money grubing companies like Microsoft want to make more money... =P
Real gamers know their roots, and know companies like Sega and Nintendo are/were the real game companies. And if you feel like Nintendo should die off... Then don't come in the Nintendo forum... =P
Anyway, great FAQ! Thanks for posting it! ^_^;
BTW... what the heck does this mean? O_o...
"Q: Will Revolution be able to play DVD movies?
A: Yes. However, DVD-movie playback will not be available out of the box. Revolution owners must buy an additional dongle that inserts in front of the machine in order to watch Hollywood DVD movies on the platform."
I don't see how a "dongle" would make it play DVDs... or what they even mean by "dongle"... XD

you guys always say, know your roots, but u also say, look to the future, the nintendo is so innovative, well guess what, change is good, and the 360 and the PS3 are the new wave of gaming, thats all there is to it, and ....
dood don't be like that. give nintendo a chance here. they should very will with the Gamecube and sure to do the same thing here
i work at a gamestop, ive owned a GC, and i know a lot of friends who had em, the GC was not that hot, multiplatform games hardly EVER sell on GC, only the few hot exclusives, and those sales are few and far between, the only thing keeping Nintendo afloat are the handhelds, which now have to compete with the PSP, Nintendo is fine for now, but there isnt a whole lot of hope

XD... hahaha... Yes Change is good, and Nintendo's system is the one thats changing the most! =P PS3 and 360 are just adding better graphics... and some extra features.
In a few years, just watch and see the PS4 and Xbox... whatever... will have motion detection in their controllers. =P
The way I see it, Nintendo's system has the most to offer... Yea the PS3 is great and I can't wait for it... but the Rev will probably keep my interest a lot longer, cause of the all the new kinds of things.
After like 5 years with a PS2, i started to get bored... and one of my friends introduced me to GameCube... And I've never seen games so original on any other system. That and I enjoy the different system for a change.
I'll by both the PS3 and Revolution, so I have something to switch between if I get bored of one... lol
I'm sorry you can't get over the minor fact that the controller looks like a remote... but thats your problem. Learn to adapt, and give it a try... its a new way of playing.
In general Nintendo always offers much better quality and durability, for a lot less cost. The Gamecube, for example, can take a beating (as in being draged by a car) and still works fine, which is great for those with younger siblings.
And the Revolution has almost more to offer than the PS3, for likely HALF the price! Who cares if the graphics are not as good! You can play tons and tons of old Nintendo games on it, you can play online, you can play new games that will probably still have beautiful graphics! As the information in these faqs show, there are a TON of features that will make this system a great buy.
The controller for the Rev is one of the most inovative changes I've seen in a long time, and I'm sure it will change the way people play games... at least a little bit.

i dont see why everyone is so excited about the older games, its called an emulator, they are FREE and they are available NOW, everyone seems to forget this, it isnt anything new, so the only new thing that is coming out of the revolution is the controller, no spectacular games, no really nifty features, or anything
Nikorasu
09-23-2005, 16:42
wow, ok well... The revolution has still many unknown factors! We dont know graphics, we dont know what developers and games YET... We also dont know all its features yet! For one, we don't really know what that home button will do, but there are other things as well...
And what do you mean no nifty features?? O_o its got plenty! for one the controller, but also its ability to play so many old games... it will go online, its got wireless features/bluetooth, it can play dvds... what more do you want?? oh, and super graphics isn't a feature in this respect...
Do you think the average public knows how to use emulators?
Yea, its not that hard, but most people just dont bother trying... And in general use of emulators is frounded upon, since they're illegal. Nintendo is therefor trying to provide an easier way for new players to see they older titles, as well as old players that loved their older games.
Also, its still anticipated that Nintendo's old 1st party games from NES to N64 will be free... or at least very cheap. 3rd party old games, although, will still have a price... =/ But its not like they'll cost much, obviously the games are old, and no one will pay that much for them... Nintendo knows this.

online-done before, PSP, Dreamcase, and as for online play, XBOX and PS2, 360 and PS3
old games-EMULATORS a free version of old games
the controller-dont get me started, it wont be as awesome as people are thinking
play dvds-yawn... been done EVERYWHERE, if you dont have a dvd player, a computer, an xbox,
or a ps2, then yay a dvd player, but its standard,
super graphics???- are you kidding? they better pull something amazing out of their hats to
compete against the new nVidea cards
emulators are not illegal as long as u own the games that you are emulating, so go buy the 5$ cartidge of an old game you like and your legal yipee, probably the same cost of downloading it to your revolution and your saving some big money by not buying the system

...your yawning at features none-the-less... and thats what you asked for...
All the features don't all have to be inovative and new... that would only confuse people more... Nintendo is offering the features that are popular and are most wanted... and they're offering it on a system that has its own inovative features anyway... The revolution in that respect is much more than the other consoles.
I really just don't see your problem with it... =P Its got everything you could want from this generation... plus it has somethings NEW, that haven't been done before... What is your problem? First you diss its inovation... then you ask for features, then you say those features are not inovative enough? O_o... sheeesh leave, just leave... You obviously don't belong here.

Amen to that brother! Oh, and one thing:
the controller-dont get me started, it wont be as awesome as people are thinking
Might I ask how in the hell do you know that? You havn't held/touched/played with it at all, so you're just making stuff up now. At least it's something new, unlike the competitors. Have you seen the praise it's been receiving? And if you don't like it, guess what? There's a freaking adapter that's more like a conventional controller. You should have nothing to worry/complain about.

Like the dongle type thing u need with the Ps2/Xbox i guess? Even tho i think for the Ps2/Xbox its just a infra red port for the remote. So hmm not sure :?
ps: Can someone make this sticky and i'll try to keep it updated ? Worth doing ? Yes or no ?

ur saying the system is so out there and innovative, im still waiting to hear something exciting, the controller is the only thing different, besides worse graphics and cheaper system, so what i should start jumping for joy for the new controller? they need more to help them
Nikorasu
09-24-2005, 09:33
as i said before... if your not interested in it... then just leave... no ones making you buy the system...
you say "whats so great about it?"... but in reality you wouldn't like it no matter what it was... What do you have against it? =P
btw, I'm sure the graphics will not be bad... they may not be the best, but we just dont know right now. For all we know, it could have the best graphics of all 3 systems!
Its too early yet to expect too much from the system... and its too early to be so against it...<_< We don't know much about the games yet, or even much more about the system or the graphics... but as it stands, theres certainly nothing to complain about!
Its not just the controller either... didn't we already say that? <_< and if you want to talk about the controller, well fine, but then you have to understand that its not just a controller! Yea it looks different, but it also plays different... its a whole new way to play games entirely!)
I'm tired of just repeating my self to you... either leave... or you will be ignored... Or at least try to develope a little intellegent understanding of the concept.
I'm not sure what your looking for in a console at this point... it would seem like you can't be satisfied... O_o Sure, the Revolution wont have all the same games PS3 will have, but there will be ports, and thats not as hard to do as people think... Plus, the Revolution will have all the standard features we've come to expect out of our consoles, as well as some great new things... And it wont be expensive... Seriously, if there is something else you want... please tell us! XD

Why is cheaper system bad ?
If gamers want two systems im guessing a lot will look at either getign a real powerful one ie 360 or PS3 and combining it with a cheaper one ie Revolution. Good ? No thats bad Nintendo should die !!! :shock: :?
The only bad thing u can come up with is its graphics. Why does that matter so much ? If it has good games and a new and old way of playing those games isnt that good?
I mean whats it not giving us that the other two are ? It's just not giving us as much power. Whats the big deal there ?
Apart from that whats it lacking ?
If you only get excited about power then the Nintendo isnt for you. Nothing wrong with that.

yea, really... I don't really see how someone can judge a system by its graphics... Yea graphics look pretty... but if the games suck, then whats the point? and even if the games are ok, if the console doesn't offer something new and original (not talking about just more powerful stuff), then the same old games keep coming out, then you'll just get bored...
With a console like the Revolution, features like the controller, change how the games are played in a very core way... And as well, it opens up the huge possiblilities for new types of games! New genres and new ways of playing will emerge with the Revolution.
I know there are some people that don't care about inovation... and just want another standard FPS or whatever... but thats not the kind of thinking thats gonna be healthy for the gaming industry... or for the general gaming masses.
For the sake of the whole gaming industry, I hope there is always new inovations like this for every new console generation.
