Craziness. I genuinely would prefer to have Revolution launch with a new Mario. But if Mario 128 doesn't jeopardise that, it's all good.

Good god...really?
Why Mario 128 does it need to be on the Revolution ? We all have a GC, Mario is not about graphics but gameplay then...why does Nintendo need to release it for Revolution ? For good sales ?
We all know their userbase won't be as good as it's now.
GC is alive and it isn't old...Release it for GC !!!!!!

Online gaming on DS is awesome!
But will it get a Nintendo browser also (warppipe project)?
Namco and Nintendo are pretty close!
Maybe it's time for Nintendo to buy Namco (don't they have some stock of them already)?

Do we? I don't see a reason why Nintendo can't improve on its marketshare. And I certainly can't see a reason why it shouldn't try. Nintendo can't afford another GameCube.
> GC is alive and it isn't old...
GC is pretty much dead. I'm not suggesting they pull a Sega but at this point their main priority needs to be the Revolution.

They better not fuck it up this time.
Maybe the developers of Golden Sun ? Or really that Square game studio...haven't heard anything of them in the last time. At last this interview makes me excited about GC. OMG a new Mario !!! So many games, but no time&money...and I'm a single-system-owner !Lionheart said:Square Enix?

while i agree with you that nintendo can improve its marketshare with the revolution, i wouldn't call the gcn dead. the xbox and gcn are pretty much neck and neck when it comes to worldwide installed userbase and plenty of companies are making money on the xbox. do you think nintendo isn't profiting from the cube at all?
and i call bullshit on the mario128 for gcn. not gonna happen. expect a kick-ass mario for revolution launch.

Well what the hell will they release for Revolution? Maybe Kobun's statement about the DS gearing more towards third party games at launch will spill over into Revolution. They could really use the sales on Revolution, though. The Gamecube is a dying system, the 6th Mario game on the system won't do much to boost sales.
Oh well. If it's Yoshi's Island level fun, I shouldn't really care. :\
Interesting to see Namco and Nintendo together all of a sudden, after years of hate between them.
As far as an OL DS.. I'll believe it when I see it. However, the news that they're working with SE makes it sound a lot more solid.
I just can't believe Nintendo's releasing a Pokemon game, SM128, a Kirby platformer, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and a DK platformer in 2005-2006. This is the stuff that should have been out 2001-2004.
And how long has Mother 3 been in development for now? Nearing 2-2.5 years, right (longer if you include EB64)?

I really think that Nintendo should stop making home-consoles after the gamecube. They can't keep up with sony and microsoft an dthe type of games don't attract new gamers. I really do think Nintendo knows this. Revolution won't be a console but an announcement that they will put all their effort in the handheld bussiness (I hope)

It's not really sudden, they've been working together and improving relations since the end of the N64 days, really..
RR64
PacMan
Soul Calibur
Star Fox
Tales
etc. They signed a fairly broad agreement a couple of years back that's probably still being put into action today.

Unfortunately Xbox is gaining momentum while Nintendo has lost all of its a good while ago. Just about the only thing that can change that is the fact that Xbox will soon be replaced by Xbox 2.
> do you think nintendo isn't profiting from the cube at all?
Sure they are. And I do think that they should still support Cube. Getting 3. parties to develop franchise titles is brilliant IMO as it frees up resources that can and should be focused on Revolution while still giving the core audience something to look forward to.
> and i call bullshit on the mario128 for gcn. not gonna happen. expect a kick-ass mario
> for revolution launch.
But what if it's not BS and there's no Mario at Revolution launch? On one hand I appreciate the fact that they're still servicing their current userbase. That kind of dedication is what has kept Nintendo in the game unlike a certain other hardware maker in the past. But they also need to make sure that Revolution gets off to good start. Neither Mario nor Zelda will do particularly well on the Cube at this point (relative to earlier releases).

I DO enjoy them, but I would like Nintendo to continue working on GameCube and don't start on revolution, because then nintendo will have 5 platforms to support (gba, NDS, GBA2, gamecube and revolution). The platform (NGC) is capable enough to give us 2 more years. Nintendo isn't big enough for 5 platforms and will kill itself if it does.
Weird. Since he has blantantly lied in interviews before I just take that all with grain of salt. Makes you think though, they need to get out of this cycle of releasing big guns on old system right before new one unless they have resources to have big titles at launch time again.

Baten Kaitos, Mario Baseball, Donkey Konga go on that list too. RR64 was handled by NST, I thought. Kinda the opposite of DK's arrangement.
Anyway, not sure if you know, but there was some real bad blood between Nintendo and Namco since the NES days. The way I remember, they were one of the earlier supporters of Sega, and of course, Sony. They haven't really supported Nintendo like they are now for a long time.
Is this for real or another Tekken hoax?
Continuing to support the GC is a good thing, as long as they are working on games for the next machine also. Kinda surprsing to see GC still getting so much support, all the while there are games in the work for DS, Revolution. Where does that leave GBA?? A real pokemon on GC is gonna be a godsend. Looks like I'll be keeping my indigo lunchbox until the end.

I don't believe it.
Oh, and this is the 4th time I read something like "Mario 128 is in development but I can't say anything about it". He said this several times before, so nothing new here.

I'm wondering if this is legit or not. It just sounds too good to be true.

Well Yoshi's Island came put less than a year before Mario 64. It's not really the same situation, but I guess they could be working on two Mario games at once.
Mario 128 on the GC is no problem when you consider that all we know about Revolution is that it'll be a revolution (yeh wireless and a touchpad controller), it will connect to PC monitors and it will hopefully be backwards compatible. So Mario 128 will be on GC AND revolution by rights.
Maybe they will make it a GC game, but with a Revolution control scheme option if played on the Revolution hardware.
