News:Nintendo Looks to the Future part 2
News:Yahoo! Japan Interviews Iwata on Nintendo Revolution's Price

In a recent interview with Yahoo! Japan, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata provided a preliminary indication of the initial price point for the company's next-generation console, code-named the Nintendo Revolution.Check out the link above for more from Revolution Report.

So when does the future arrive? From my perspective, it's already here. The Nintendo DS is the first expression of this thinking, and with the launch of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, i think the promise of the DS is really being fulfilled. Communities of Mario Kart Drivers, Tony Hawk skaters (thank you, Activision!) and Animal Crossing fans are already forming in new gaming space offering something to hard-core and casual gamers alike. With the Metroid Prime Hunters Wi-Fi fragfests beginning in March and even more big titles coming down the line, we think Wi-Fi will be a new gaming hub. Bringing gamers together like never before and in truly mass numbers is a huge win for Nintendo because nobody else has delivered this kind of experience. And it's just the beginning.
We've already revealed a few key foundation stones of Revolution: an unprecedented mon-sensitive controller, Gamecube backwards compatibility, the virtual library of classic Nintendo games and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.Here's something more to think about-third-party game development is underway in Japan and elsewhere around the world. Our third-party partners are recognizing the promise of Revolution and working hard on launch titles right now. Nintendo Power will cover those stories in the coming months, and let me tell you that from what i've seen, i'm hugely excited.
The future of games will be about expansion, innovation, inclusion and the creation of new gaming communities.The old stereotype of video games being a nerdy pastime for teenage boys who like blasting aliens and fighting ogres with swords will be replaced with diverse communities of gamers, many of them competing directly against each other over Wi-Fi, or cooperating with each other in games like Animal Crossing: Wild World. Sure there will be plenty of intense action games, realistic sports, epic adventures and RPGs, but the future will hold new genres that we can barely think of today.Even the old standbys will be reimagined, leaving button-mashing behind and introducing new types of control and interaction. That's where Nintendo is going to be, and that's what Nintendo Power is going to bring you. The next 200 issues will be the more exciting yet, reporting on a new age of gaming with exclusive inside stories and images that no Nintendo fan will want to miss.

News:Nintendo Looks to the Future part 1

This month marks the 200th issue of Nintendo Power.That's a great milestone.For 17 years, Nintendo fans have looked to the pages of Nintendo Power for the offical word on upcoming games and hardware.But instead of looking backward, i'd like to look ahead.
What will the future games be like? Will they just be faster, slicker versions of what's popular today? Nintendo belives that they will be much more, and will appeal to many more people.Historically, Nintendo has brought better and deeper gaming experiences to its customers instead of the safe bet.
The DS is a great example of a technology winning in the marketplace because of its functionality, not because it produces more polygons than a supercomputer.It's so versatile that you can bond with a virtual puppy by actually petting it and talking to it.No other video game system offers that kind of play.People who would never dream of picking up a traditional game system can immediately understand a product like Nintendogs.Because the DS is so approachable, it is expanding the video game business and creating new demand. In fact, we've seen this happening with Nintendogs' wildly successful launch, and worldwide sales over 2.5 million games. You may ask, Why expand the market? The answer can be seen in a number of recent disturbing trends: overall declining sales of video games in Japan, and dwindling teen interest in video games in the US.the way to escape that downward spiral is to go where nobody has gone before.So that's our philosophy: we'll use the right technology to bring better gaming experiences to more people than ever before, and we'll let the insecure guys brag about the size of their CPUs! More on this tomorrow cause it is to big for one update so this is part 1.

Interview:Hideki Konno Interview from Nintendo Power

NP: Do you think that Mario Kart DS is the best Mario Kart yet?

Konno: Yeah, you know, I think that pretty much after you finish any title you’d like to think, “Wow, this is the best one yet.” But regardless of that kind of knee-jerk reaction, I really do think that with Mario Kart DS we’ve exceeded everything that’s come before. I do think it’s the best one in the series.

NP: Is that mostly due to Wi-Fi multiplayer?

Konno: That’s one of the reasons. I think that the game has a number of really positive elements to it, and one of those is just the volume of the single-player portion of the game, which we’ve really never focused on before. With this game we have the mission mode, we can also play the battle matches versus computer opponents, and, again, the volume of the content for the single player has surpassed anything we’ve done in a past Mario Kart. And, of course, then we have the local wireless network, up to eight people, then on top of that we have, as you mentioned, the Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows people to race against the world. Obviously, these are a lot of positive things in the game.

NP: In either regular races or battle mode, what are your top five tips for being successful at Mario Kart DS?

Konno: Hmm, difficult question here. I’ve got three. You’ve got to use the drift. You’ve got to be able, when you get in those corners, to start getting those sparks and using that miniturbo to boost. That’s really important. And then, something that’s new this time around is the drafting aspect—it is something we haven’t had before. So this allows you to pick up speed and actually get, like, a speed boost basically without any items. So you’re able to pass people up right at the finish line if you’re able to use drafting well, so that’s something people need to concentrate on. And then, as always, you know, Mario Kart tries to keep games equal by providing items that allow everyone to stay in the race, and this time isn’t any different. And then we have new items, so being able to effectively use the Blooper, as well as the Bullet Bill . . . . Master those.

NP: Is there anything you learned during the testing phase of the game that surprised you? Did people do anything that was unexpected?

Konno: Yeah, every time I watched people play there’s always something surprising going on. That’s one of the great things about Mario Kart. The way people use items, the way they made combinations, it was like, wow, it’s a brand-new game, and yet there were people out there who were using the miniturbos and using drafting with an unbelievable degree of proficiency from my viewpoint. And that was just really surprising. It’s hard to come up with specific examples, but I remember just watching and going, “Wow. They’re really making great use of that shortcut!” Or making use of things in ways that maybe I hadn’t foreseen.

NP: What are you most looking forward to seeing once Mario Kart DS launches worldwide and everybody’s playing online?

Konno: We put the Wi-Fi connectivity into Mario Kart for a specific reason. Our reason for the whole Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in general is to get a high participation rate. I’m envisioning, I’m hoping, that Mario Kart sells a lot—that the games get out there to a lot of people. Not only that, not only do we want people to buy it, but we want them to play. So I’m really looking forward to seeing how many people use the Wi-Fi connection, because we think we did a good job making it simple and easy for people to use. So that’s the thing I’m looking forward to most: seeing how many people actually jump on there and play.

This is from Nintendo Power vol 200 it is just worded differently and it is just the part about Mario Kart Revolution only.

News:IGN's Revolution Channel Launches
News:Revolution Launch
News:Revolution Tech Details Emerge
News:Atari Founder Lauds Revolution Controller
News:Ubisoft Readies Shooter
News:Letter from the Editor

Monday, December 5, 2005 will always be a very important day for me. Not because it's an afternoon closer to Christmas vacation, although that certainly doesn't hurt, but because it marks the end of the constant e-mail asking -- no, demanding -- that we launch a channel for Nintendo's next-generation console. I've got to tell you, there have frankly been some convincing reasons for us not to do this. After all, we can't very well launch and maintain a site for a platform with no shown games, no in-depth technical specs, and for that matter, no official name. But I guess it's a testament to your persistence because here we are with a live site, a lovely new graphic header, and even some actual news. Who'd of thunk it?

Sources close to Nintendo have revealed to us that publishing giant Ubisoft is hard at work on a Revolution-bound first-person shooter. The title, still unnamed, will make use of the console's unique controller for a level of aiming precision unavailable in traditional console shooters.

Atari founder Nolan Bushnell has praised Nintendo's controller design for its upcoming Revolution next-generation gaming console while claiming that the complexity of current controllers are "scaring away gamers." check out the rest of this from the link above.

Revolution Tech Details Emerge go to the link from IGN for more on this.

Asking a Nintendo executive for Revolution's official launch date will always yield exactly the same response, which is, simply, "2006." In the past, the Big N's president, Satoru Iwata, explained that the company could not afford to launch after Sony, whose PlayStation 3 could hit retail shelves in Japan as early as March 2006 by some reports. But late last year Nintendo seemed to collectively enable the possibility that Revolution could be last to debut, with execs instead saying that the machine was being positioned to a different market.You can read the full story by clicking the link above for more from IGN.
