Here's a summary of the article:
"So, will Zelda TP have Revolution controller support or not?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeeees . . . maybe it does and maybe it doesn't!!"
* plays mysterious tune *
"So will it?"
"Let me answer it through the medium of daaaaance!!"
* plays jolly tune, two midgets come out and dance *

I think they're telling the truth on this. Some idiot at Nintendo let it slip out, and Nintendo is trying to put the genie back in the bottle now.
Nintendo has not said 'this is not true at all', or anything to that effect, and a passive denial like 'it's speculation. We have not confirmed anything' is pretty much a wink & a nod to me.

Im not that happy with the constant stream of screens all the time, by the time they release it youve seen pretty much 95% of the game. Id rather have some thought put into the way people release info for their game.

It's ridiculous how much I wish you were in charge of Nintendo.

They don't know how to market at all, or even stir up interest in their products. So, other people are forced to take the torch and run with it. That's how rumors start with Nintendo. Disgruntled fans who want to give Nintendo some sort of momentum.
Way to delay a game, and then release a few pics. That's it. No new news on it, no previews, no nothing. Everyone else releases information on a steady basis. Releasing an updating trailer showing off some of the improvements wouldn't hurt Nintendo at all.

It's always been Nintendos way. Starve the shit out of it's fans, then throw 'em a cracker (a batch of screens, a trailer etc.) once in a great moon.

My penis is still intact.
Smash Bros Melee had updates all the time.
I prefer it this way, sometimes I think I should cut myself off from all gaming media aside from reviews. I long for the days when I'd go into a game barely knowing anything about it, almost every level a surprise as I haven't seen the majority of them in screens and movies already.
I can't control myself though, so I need companies to do it for me. As it is I'm pretty sure I know everything I could possibly know about Twilight Princess right now without working at Nintendo, and that's too much.
And yes, I'll watch the next trailer dammit.

Maybe they're trying to keep it low key, hoping that Zelda can help move a few GCs this Spring? If everyone knows about it, they will wait for Revolution to come out before buying Zelda.
That's my best guess..
BTW who else thinks the "Senior exec" is Merrick? No matter what you do, you can't shut him up, Nintendo! =]

I think you mean grandson dude!
I still worship the ground Super Play walked on. No magazine will ever come close to the legacy they left behind. For one, the whole concept of anime coverage in videogame magazines came from them (and for wholly validated reasons), they championed the RPG genre for western gamers and had excellent coverage of Japanese only SNES releases (Sanrio Smashball was a highlight for me). I felt privy to the wider world of Nintendo that the US magazines lacked.
Jonathan Davies... best videogame writer ever.
Wil Overton, the artist who painted their unique front covers went on to do art design at Rareware and it was sad to see his cool anime Joanna Dark designs scrapped for the eventual plastic doll that came out.
So as for this Zelda news, it is cool to see a publication go against the grain and not rely on official press releases and actually do some reporting.

My brother used to get that one. I enjoyed that too but felt it had a too juvenille layout design and felt cheap overall.
It reminded me of an all systems videogame mag called "Mean Machines", don't know if it was done by the same group of guys but it had similar design. I remember pouring over the same screenshots for Alien Storm on the Sega Megadrive over and over agin from that magazine and then ended up getting Spiderman for the Sega Master System... which to date is the best Spiderman game anyone will ever play

That was the first videogame magazine I ever got paid to write for! With Will Overton, Jason Brookes, Matt Beilby, etc.

I believe these guys, from the way Nintendo worded that announcement they didn't deny it at all. Its too bad that we probably won't get confirmation until E3 though.

He's not comparing the games, he's comparing the information flow from their publishers. I personally don't mind the relatively rare updates we recieve from Nintendo, it leaves more to discover when the game releases. In retrospect, I watched way too much Shadow of the Colossus media before it came out.Hero said:
I think Zelda will be starring at its 2nd E3 in a row, last time it was the GC's bow out, this time its ushering in the Revolution That'll get the world talking about Revolution if they manage to set a precedent for how Revmote can improve EXISTING genres and games.
EDIT - Does this also mean Revolution will launch with Zelda? It would seem a bit weird and disjointed to have Rev capabilities in Zelda but release Zelda 5 months beforehand. Hope Rev comes sooner than we think as some of the rumours suggest.

I think it's bad if Zelda has to go to a 3rd E3. It would come in the shadows of Revolution. No doubt about it. I had prefer Nintendo releasing this game at end of april.
