The Wii is Here.

RE: Re: RE: The Revolution is Here.

No, I was saying I didn't see anything about the controllers. Reading what I wrote, I can see how it seems I said otherwise, but no. I am anxious to see what's so damn special, though.

RE: Re: RE: The Revolution is Here.

Yeah, the controllers will probably be shown at Spaceworld. And Shox, Zelda is for Gamecube, not revolution. And falcoln, why can't Nintendo get it right first try? Microsoft did. And Nintendo is giving it to you for FREE. So even if it sucks, it's nothin out of your pocket. It's wi-fi enable out of the box. So get a wireless connection in your house, plug in the revolution, be online for free, with Super Smash Brothers, in mere seconds, probably for 2/3 the price of x-box 360.

Oh, and evidently console name is remaining Nintendo Revolution. Much to the delight of me.

RE: Re: RE: The Revolution is Here.

Yea, so far it's still the Revolution. And the design is still a "prototype".

And will someone get rid of EB's fucking lame signature gif? It's a pain to scroll through a forum with that shit flashing. If I have to get rid of AVs because people complain, then that signature has got to go.

Also, the reason I don't play ROMs is not just because they're illegal and I want to support Nintendo, it's because it's not on a console. It doesn't feel right playing it at the computer.

Anyways, Microsoft is having a free online option; their Silver plan.

But... Nintendo has only revealed a little bit. Then again, EB is narrow-minded and picks and chooses what he wants to believe. Nintendo still has stuff up their sleeve.

microsofts free subscription plan isn't for multiplayer gaming though, its just for social interaction with friends or what-not across xbox live. With Nintendo you get free multiplayer action along with MANY other things, which is so bad ass..

unfortunetly i dont think that the revoulution will be on top. calm down calm down. I think that the REVOLUTION will be #2. The Online play is needed. i luv the fact that its backwards compatible with every NINTENDO system

i luv the fact that its backwards compatible with every NINTENDO system

More like an emulator.

[evilbutterfly]

That's what I said in the other thread and everybody bitched at me for that being illegal. If games are so old that the system isn't around to play them then they become public domain. Therefore most emulators aren't really illegal. Well, they weren't. Once the Revolution comes out there will be a system out that can play them and it'll make all those emulators super illegal. Damn Revolution. D=<

Fact is, copywrights last 90 years.

While it is legal to use Beethoven's symphonies and Monet's artwork without permission, ROMs of games from the 80s are not.

I have a question. Is there a playable revolution out there? If so, does it have all the revolution features yet to come out? (Dont call me stupid for this, because I already know I am.)

[suicidalmuskrat]

no there isn't a playable revolution out there....or there might be, but no one outside of Nintendo has any knowledge of it, what-so-ever...We don't know the controller/input device, and we don't know the tech specs. Pretty much we just know what it'll look like, and that you can play Revolution and GC games on it, and that you can download retro Nintendo games for play on it. We also are quire sure that the online infrastructure will be free to use.

[evilbutterfly]

Some copyrights last 90 years. Isn't it different with different things? I saw somewhere there was a case ruling in favors of emulators, using what I said as the basis for that decision. Not sure if that was 100% true, though.

And after reading muskrat's post, I laughed. We don't really know anything about this thing, do we? Silly Nintendo and their silly secrecy and surprises.

Nintendo likes to make surprises worth it.

Iwata's interview: http://cube.ign.com/articles/617/617814p1.html

Quite a good read.

[suicidalmuskrat]

I really wish i had enough money to afford both the PS3 and the revolution...but the way it's looking i probably couldn't even afford the PS3...so i'm sure i'll just get a revolution...but their philosophies are so different, and they're both respectable...i just love Nintendo franchises too much not to own their console

[banditcom]

I'm more anticipated for the Revolution now than ever.
