Nintendo = King

[TomFulp]

I have to say... People have been wondering for a while what the Nintendo Revolution was gonna be like. I just saw a picture of the controller today and was like WTF... It looks like an iPod, which is cool, but how does it work? Then I saw the video... You gotta see this:

REVOLUTION

It's totally nuts! It's like, you can swing it to play baseball or use it as a lightgun, the potential is endless. I'm already getting ideas. We gotta get some devkits, it's gonna be an exciting year in the new office!

Office update: Settlement is scheduled for November 17th, I'm still working on early occupancy. The space is a combined Newgrounds / the Behemoth office, so we'll be doing it all - web development, console development and more. We even have public space for art installations and a million other things! I want this place to be mecca, but it will take some time! I'm always looking to hear from proactive creative types in the Philadelphia area (noteably Glenside, immediately north of downtown) because the sky is the limit right now. That Nintendo Revolution video got me excited.

Back to work!

yeah it looks like a remote connected to an x side of a controller, as long as it plays smash brothers well i'm getting it.

[sonicxtreme]

what the heck.........nintendo surely rocks........

[DSSD]

Ooohhh, nice.

[DoomBrigade]

Nintendo still rules the war, while xbox and sony stay with the old ways of gaming, nintendo always comes up with new ideas. thats what I like about them. Now I hope there will be developer that can make use of the controller...

[TomFulp]

Of course it could end up being totally gimicky. It's an exciting video though. :)

[Vespedaska]

The Revolution is going to be awesome.

[Afro-Ninja]

Yeah, I'm really curious to see what the do with it, although there's some games I just can't imagine playing with a two-part controller :(

Can't wait to check out the new office next year though =)

[Rhabdophobia]

Oh man now I know why they called it the revoulution.

Even if it turns out to be worse than the 360 or PS3 its revoultuionary none the less.

[bigexplosions]

I knew it! But is Nitendo making the right choice of controller? I mean...look at it! It's looks like a remote, I thought it'd be something like the GameCube controller. It looks hard to use during gameplay and might be a problem, good thing the Revolution isn't coming for a while.

That looked awesome. Seems to be more than the remote control I first called it.

Something I'm curious about though, since when did you start to look on Norweigan websites?

Oh yeah, having 3 different processors so the xbox can process 9 trillion polygons per second sure is old-fasioned...

[poxpower]

it looks like the future.

It looks like a party system.

It reminds me of all the stupid gimmicky shit they made for the original nintendo, like the power glove and the mat.

[just2pale]

Looks interesting ,, cant wait to see more on that.,, Ohh and good luck on the new office!! You have a bunch of people with talent and ambition,, you can make it work.

I totally trust in Nintendo that they're going to make it awsome, I can't wait till the Rev comes out. I'm still wondering how to use the controller though. I hope they make a demo about it soon...

[A04]

Viva la REVOLUTION!!!!

[Fatboy]

It looks gimmicky and weird to use, people don't like change. I wouldn't be surprised if this causes them sales loss, or perhaps even just going to a generic controller style.

But let's sit back and see how it pans out.

[Sinterkaas]

Why I don't like it:

1: I don't see myself sitting on my bed going all crazy
2: My hand doesn't go up when I shoot
3: I might break something if I'm too excited and smash my hand on the chair or something
4: I'd feel stupid by moving with the game with a friend watching, same thing was with SOCOM headset when I was playing it with my friends

I will wait and see

Yeah. It could help dentists work on teeth or help people on fishing, or even make people improve on aiming!

Yeah, gaming that doesn't change sure is brand spanking new aswell isn't it. :rolleyes:
Graphics aren't everything darling.

As far as the controller goes, it looks the nuts, and i'm looking forward to using it myself, methinks that the Rev. will be worth the wait.

[Vespedaska]

Yeah, as I said in another Nintendo Revolution thread, I think it would make sense to design a normal controller with the wi-fi technology to be compatable with games that come out on PS3 or Xbox 360.

Otherwise, the game developers have a choice. Nintendo, or the other guys.

[weirdoo]

Nintendo RULES!!! and Tom i didn'tknow you went into a norwegian site.

[Shaun]

i dont like the looks of it..
terrible look..
mabye if it looked better.. wireless.. etc.

I'd by it at launch. I'll definetly be the #1 best selling game ever, right next to the Bedn game.

[Enoll]

I dunno, just makes it look like an eye toy with a controller.
Making mario jump by moving my wrist up and down? I'd get
tierd after afew levels.

I just want to see NG members pilgrimage to the NG HQ.

[Steve84]

Tom that nintendo revoltion looks awsome but I'm getting x-box 360 that's awsome to hear about the office man I'm sure it will look wonderful when it's done.

[Slickernaut]

Wooh! I knew I wasn't going to buy a next-gen Nintendo, and this is why!

That controller looks awesome. It really makes the ols style controllers look like a thing of the past.

I'm sold.

[Lucozadedude]

look out Sony this is gonna DOMINATE the market!!! the potential for sword fps games is MASSIVE!!!! you'll be swinging the sword first person Legend of Zelda games will be soooo cooooooooooool >< that settles it i AM getting a Revolution because Nintendo are pushing far and beyond the boundaries, they have gone WELL beyond ANY console EVER made, the PS3 cannot match this unless it makes a headset that makes everything 3D and also has a suit that detects every movement you make putting you in the game, they should change their slogan to:

interactivity, be the game

because nothing is gonna put them out of business! Ninty is biting back and biting hard, Sony is the one in danger after seeing that >:) take a burn Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo knows how to make a console better than yours >:)

NES - Nintendo Entertainment System, good beginings
SNES - Super Nintendo Entertainment System, a sequel
N64 - Nintendo 64, 64 bit, a revolutio for its time
GameCube - the current console, soon to be seen as outdated by the awesome might of the...
Revolution - ...greatest console ever going to be made, this is truley going to be legendary, much like the N64

GameBoy - first handheld game device
GameBoy Colour - smaller, colourful, better
GameBoy Advance/SP - revolutionising the way people see the handhelds
Nintnedo DS - touch screen, mic and yet, so small

Nintendo is not going to die, period.

[Ecrew]

thats great, once again nentindo is the best!
