Revolution = Xenon ?!?!?!?!?

Revolution is backwards compatible. There might be something like the PS2 playing PS1 games with slightly cleaner visuals for Zelda 2005 running on the Revolution. Also, I fully expect that you'll be able to use the Cube/Wavebird controllers with the Revolution for the backwards compatibility, if the revolution really is revolutionary in terms of controller interface.

You know it never occured to me that the GameCube controllers could be used on the Revolution. I always assumed that the Revolution controller wouldn't be THAT fundementally different from the GCN controller as to allow backwards compatibility with GCN games. Like the PS2 Dual Shock controller from the original PSX controller.

But on the other hand, if the Revolution controller is so fundementally different from the PS3 and Xenon controllers, will it alienate 3rd parties as much as the N64 hardware did? Or will the controller be like the N64's controller in that it forced Sony to redevelop their original controller to include analogue sticks?

This year is certainly shaping up to be one of the most exciting gaming years yet. Some great games still to come (RE4, Zelda 2005, Star Fox Assault etc) and next gen consoles will be revealed.

Reggie said Mario 128 is coming out on GC AGAIN in EGM this month. This means one of two things, I think.

1. There's no way Revolution won't be backward compatible.

2. There's no way Revolution will launch this year.

I'd say both of these things are very likely.

What the hell? Who are those female characters? Did somebody draw those to add to the funny of the IGN pictures or is this a freakish coincidence?

Also, the original IGN pics, the top one was reaction for Pac-Man and the other was what again?

The anime characters were added by Japanese forum readers, who are (or at least were) apparently obsessed with the IGN editor pics.

As for the pics themselves, the "disappointment" picture was from Nintendo's E3 conference where Pacman was demonstrated. The "excitement" picture was staged and was taken shortly before E3 2004 as an illustration of what their reaction was going to be (because of the Zelda trailer).

I see. So a Japanese forum reader drew them?

That's right


Could somebody post the EGM question and Reggie's answer?

Actually I was just thinking, as awesome as the WaveBird controller i, I'd really like to see them create a new version of it with a rechargable Lithium battery and built in rumble. I miss the rumble when playing single player games particually.

I assume so.

that's because Nintendo didn't think of it. If you get AR and use the code to do a speed sail. It makes the game 10000x more enjoyable
