News:What's the ultimate game idea for the Revolution Controller? part 3 
News:<a href="http://revolution.ign.com/articles/683/683893p1.html">Retro Remix: Round 2</a> 
IGN has released Retro Remix: Round 2 so check it out.I am sure they will have a 3 and 4 before it is all said and done. 
Steve T: Here's one: the controller is perfect for moving and positioning your troops in a real-time strategy game. It may not be the sexiest idea, but it would make games like starCraft a lot less frustrating on consoles. 
 
Steve G:Agreed! console RTS games haven't been able to surpass PC-mouse control, and the Revolution controller would totally solve that. Better yet, if Peter Molyneux could bring his Black & White series to the Revolution, i'd be in heaven.RTS control. Petting your divine pet (or smacking around your evil pet). Spellcasting with flicks of the wrist. 
 
Steve T: Anything from Peter Molyneux would be cool, for that matter. I really want to see what some of the more-creative developers like him can do with the controller. Maybe Suda 51 of Killer 7 fame can make a crazy adventure game that constantly throws different uses for the controller at you. 
 
Steve G:I'll second that. No matter what we armchair developers think up, it's mad geniuses like Suda 51 who may truly shock us with the controller.
But people play a Jack the Ripper game? Humm. Dress that slash-and-dash idea up in Solid Snake camouflage, and I think I've arrived at a winner! Calling Kojima...Mr.Hideo Kojima? 
 
This was from Nintendo Power Vol 201 which is why it took this long to finish instead of 1 day.It is on page 26 of NP Vol 201 so you know.

Updated:Link to Us 
I added a new button to the link to us section so check it out.Even use it if you have me on your affiliates list or are planing on adding this site just e-mail me about it. 
A page on Nintendo's Japanese Web site recently introduced the new design for the Nintendo DS, Nintendo's latest portable system, despite Nintendo recently calling the information a rumor.You can read the rest of this from Revolution Report above by clicking the above. 
Nintendo reported today a sharply increased fiscal third-quarter profit and continued to affirm its estimated profit for the fiscal year, though analysts expect that the company will increase its earnings outlook in the near future.You can read the rest from IGN above. 
I am picking up where i left off with last night's What's the ultimate game idea for the Revolution Controller point counter point article. Since it is a long one.So here goes: 
Steve T:Such barbarism. Some of us are a bit more cultured; I, for one, would prefer a game where i'm using the controller to conduct an orchestra. Or getting my groove on with Samba de Amigo, using two controllers as a pair of maracas. But that would require the ability to enjoy something that doesn't involve stabbing people. 
 
Steve G:Maybe what you seek is a teadrinking sim. Maybe the controller would lift your pinky finger to just the right elevation....ok, if jousting is too caveman for you, maybe fenching is actually better. More movement strategy, but still superbrutal. 
 
Steve T:Hey I've got an idea! How a game where you pick up various blunt objects strewn about the environment and use them to bludgeon Steven Grimm by swinging the controller? 
 
Steve G:Petty jab aside, i think you might be on to something.Remember the excellent Second Sight? How about a psychic game where you latch onto an object by jabbing your controller at it, throwing it like casting out a fishing line then guiding its flight?

News:What's the ultimate game idea for the Revolution Controller? 
News="<a href="http://revolution.ign.com/articles/683/683176p1.html">3D Realms CEO on Revolution</a> 
News:<a href="http://ds.ign.com/articles/683/683172p1.html">E3 Booth Babes Banned</a> 
Big News:Twilight Princess: Ganon's Return</a> 
YOSHIYUKI OYAMA has this to say about Ganon in Twilight Princess: 
"No discussion of Twilight Princess' enemies can end without mentioning Ganon,I know that everyone's wondering what's going on with Link's old nemesis. All I can say now is, we're preparing more than you could possibly ever, ever, expect." 
This is from Nintendo Power Vol 201 page 48 which talks about Twilight's Evils. So for those who did not know where to find it now you do. 
While the annual Electronic Entertainment Expo is certainly about games, the show is notorious for its often ribald atmosphere. By now, our readers are familiar with the barely-dressed "booth babes" which each year are as ubiquitous as the giant flat-screen displays and screaming speakers.You can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
Outspoken 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller has recently updated his official blog to wax about the upcoming next generation console wars. In his writings, the industry veteran makes his predictions about the eventual popularity of the three major consoles, including Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Revolution.He mainly thanks that the Revolution will suck.But i Have news for Him if he is reading this from my site You Have Not Tried The Revolution Controller Bud!! Til you try it out don't think it will get 3rd til it is out in stores all over the world.But you can read the rest of this from IGN above. 
The Steves butt heads about the game-design possibilities of the Big N's latest and greatest device.It is long so i will give it a little at a time so here goes: 
Steve T:The game I most want to play with the Revolution Controller is an atmospheric survival-horror title.Using the controller as a flashlight to illuminate a dark alley or abandoned mental hospital could be completely engrossing.Of course, if you're easily started, like Steven, it might be difficult to keep the controller pointed at the screen as you're flailing your arms in terror. 
Steve G:Uh, we're talking ULTIMATE ideas here, not merely good ideas.So man up and replace that flashlight with a jousting lance! Staring down fear is x100 scary when rushing toward a knight on horseback.Imagingsticking that lance in at just the right point, and skewering him through the rib cage! 
I will add more to this later today or tomorrow so you know. 
IGN has released another Revolution Mailbag so check it out.

Grasshopper Manufacturer's Gouichi Suda (aka Suda 51) has once again made reference to his support for Nintendo's Revolution console. At the "Hopper's Vol.1 25H Our Party People" event held in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on a snowy Saturday evening, Suda confirmed that work on a Revolution project has already started at his studio.

Fresh from its latest meeting with Nintendo, NubyTech was anxious to talk about its plans for Revolution. NubyTech, known for its acclaimed Resident Evil chainsaw controllers, is currently readying itself for a more focused attack on the peripheral market. While many details are still hidden in the depths of Nintendo, it is obvious that while the new console offers gamers a chance to interact with games in a new way, it also is forcing manufacturers to design new ways of bringing interactive entertainment home. Paul Chen, President of NubyTech, sits down with us to discuss the ups, downs, and mysteries of the Nintendo Revolution.You can read the rest of this from IGN above.

News:<a href="http://revolution.ign.com/articles/682/682294p1.html">Revolution's Interface</a> 
A Nintendo-funded marketing survey recently offered a glimpse of how Revolution's "virtual console," or downloadable games service, may function. Though hardly representative of the final product, mock-ups from the Big N's marketing firm, Zanthus, even showed off what the graphical user interface for the system could look like. The concepts were rough, to say the least, and it was with this in mind that IGN readers set out to design their own. We have a couple of those examples below, but first we'd like readers to join us as we delve into the possibilities for the system's could-be interface.Read the rest of this above from IGN. 
Like Dr. Martin Luther King, legendary Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto has a dream. However, Miyamoto's dream has very little to do with equality and much more to do with a disturbingly long and menacing nose hair. We can't make this stuff up. In the latest issue of Maxim Magazine, Miyamoto discusses his unique nighttime vision and more, including why he thinks the company's next console, codenamed Revolution, will deliver new types of games.Read the rest of this above from IGN. 
Sources close to SEGA have told IGN Revolution that the developer is working on a new entry into the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise for Nintendo's next generation console. The title, purportedly developed by a "top-tier" SEGA team led by Yuji Naka, will not be a port of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game tentatively dubbed "Sonic the Hedgehog [next gen]." Instead, say insiders, it is an entirely original effort designed from the ground up to take advantage of Revolution's unique controller. No further details are available at this time.Read the rest of this from IGN. 
Revolution Report is having Technical Difficulties again and here is what they had to say about it."We regret to inform our readers that Revolution Report is currently offline due to technical difficulties. Rest assured that the team is doing all it can to get us back up and running as soon as possible."

News:Questions sort answered by Nintendo 
I e-mailed Nintendo a few questions alot of us fans were having and here is what i got back: 
Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo, 
 
There has been a lot of speculation and comparison among gamers--and the gaming press--regarding the next generation of systems and the Nintendo Revolution in particular. It's a natural by-product of the anticipation and excitement generated as we anxiously await their release. However, Nintendo hasn't yet revealed detailed specifications, price point, specific games, release date, or a complete feature set for the Nintendo Revolution. 
 
Rest assured that all will be made known in the months leading up to the official unveiling of the system through official press releases. Keep checking www.nintendo.com/revolution for all the latest information!

Revolution Report recently unearthed a new patent application filed by Nintendo that appears to reveal more details regarding the Virtual Console function of the company's next-generation console, code-named the Nintendo Revolution.You can read the rest of this from Revolution Report above. 
It sounds a little weird... There's Sonic, sure enough. But there he is racing around on hover devices with his buddies when he can run just about as fast as sound. Weird. We figure it makes as much sense as Superman's jet, but that doesn't mean Sonic Riders can't still be charming. In fact, this racer looks a bit like a cross between Trickstyle and Mario Kart. At least it's a fast ride with a heavy emphasis on environment interaction, shortcuts and basic aerials. 
Game sales break the record in 2005 so read more about this from IGN above. 
The noise level of the rumor that Nintendo will soon be releasing a redesigned Nintendo DS system has gotten so high that the company's been forced to poke its head out and comment.

An official survey conducted for Nintendo of America by marketing company Zanthus may shed new light on Revolution's "Virtual Console" concept.

While the world debates the intricacies of the Revolution's controls and complains non-stop about the lack of technical advantage the system may have compared to its competitors, This is what IGN had to say "IGN would like to take the necessary time to focus on a huge advantage the Revolution holds during this next generation of gaming. Nintendo has been a powerhouse of development for over 20 years, starting in the early '80s with the Famicom and NES, respectively. Nintendo has not only chosen to focus on intriguing gameplay this time around, but also on those roots that were set up over two decades ago. Reggie and company have boasted Revolution to include the most launch titles in history with Revolution supporting not only GameCube, but N64, SNES and the original NES games in Nintendo's new download service. For that reason, we here at IGN believe a rebirth of retro gaming is in order, and we present to you Retro Remix." So check out the link above for the rest of this.
