Great. So most of the negative comments are from American FPS developers thus far? That's wonderful news in my opinion.

Duke Nukem Forever.

PS3 and Xbox 360 equal in sales.

...who haven't even used the controller! I would think that a FPS developer would be aching to try it. Maybe he's just jealous.

Duke Nukem Forever.
And the only negatives are from devlopers who are hung up on one game. Check their website. 9 versions/sequels to Duke Nukem and a couple Max Payne titles. No big loss in my book.

Wasn't the other negative from the Unreal camp? Same deal. Ten versions/sequels of one game and 1 or 2 other titles.

I'm open for negative feedback as the controller/system can't be perfect, but the negatives so far are "fanboy-ish" in their tone and come from companies that haven't had a hands on demonstration. Not to mention were unlikely to develop for Nintendo in the first place.

The few negatives so far are easily dismissable, but the floor is open to anyone with experience with the system as well as a company that had a genuine interest in developing for Nintendo.

Yes, the other negative I remember reading was from Epic The Unreal Company. I think anybody making a comment that Revolution may be Nintendo's last system is highly uneducated bile. The Gamecube has been highly profitable for Nintendo and their portable line brings in enough money that they could run a string of hardware failures to match Sega's "legacy" and still be in the green. Then you have to factor in Japan, where video games are still considered Sony and Nintendo.. they don't even acknowledge Microsoft there.. Nintendo is doing just fine.

Besides, the man's company has had a single game in development for what, 10 years now? And to top it off it's a game in a genre where a new one is released every week. Yeah, he's in the know alright. The fact that he thinks PS3 and Xbox 360 will be equal in sales just shows how far his opinions are to be taken seriously.

One thing I love about Nintendo consoles is that they seem to be built with children in mind. Not that they're childish, but they are uber durable. I never felt like I could break my SNES, N64, or Gamecube through normal usage (the NES was pretty durable too, but I had to blow one too many carts for my tastes....even if it was my fault. What? I was 8. whereas I feel like my PS2's tray is going to break whenever I put in a new game. Hope the Revolution keeps that trend up.

I'm probably going to follow Pixy and get a Rev at launch and a PS3 a little down the line. I dig my X-Box, but I just have no desire right now to get a 360. Maybe in four years or something when they're $129.

Is anyone else a little worried about the maybe $20 price tag for N64 games though? $8-$14 was more of what I was thinking. They have it right on the NES and SNES price schemes though (assuming they hold).

And I hope they throw Sonic if nothing else in the next Smash Bros title. That would be hella awesome.

With the PS3 presumably delayed til November and with the Revolution coming out in the Fall?, that doesn't give either console much time to shine by themselves in the spotlight, does it? I only mention this because the 360 will have basically a year to claim it is the newest system, etc.

I'm not specifically interested in the RS part, I like the layout and graphics of it.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the Revolution system, but is does have something to do with Nintendo, and I thought it was cute:

According to Nintendo Power:
(From Go Nintendo)
Reggie will be speaking at the D.I.C.E. summit at 10:30 a.m., February 9th. Reggie’s speech is entitled “Expanding the Market for Interactive Entertainment” and will last for 45 minutes. Nintendo Power is telling everyone to remember this date, and make sure to check out Nintendo.com. Will we be seeing some new Revolution details? Perhaps a brand new Twilight Princess trailer?

I swear though, after that Evil Dead parody and that flash cartoon, I really don't want to play videogames that much any more. One more little stunt like that from a Nintendo fanboy, I think I might be out next generation. I am a Nintendo fanboy and I find the Che parody shirts comical but sometimes, you kids go a little past the edge and I am not going down with you.

Sometimes I wonder if GoNintendo gets pissed when we post almost all of its blogs on here?

They have no reason to, most of their stuff is stolen from other blogs and such. Consider the Zelda footage they posted recently. They provided a direct link from Hyrule.net, that is a no no. Hyrule.net responded by putting an alternate video up that said whoever linked you to this is a jerk, please go to our site for download.

That's a little extreme don't you think?

I was talking about his rant, he's letting some cartoons someone made decide whether or not he's going to game? That's a little extreme.

Actually not really in my opinion. Such things remind me that I am 23 and I will still be playing video games when I should be doing something better with my time. I am pretty bi-polar when it comes to video games. Part of me thinks its just good times while another part thinks it is just a waste of time. I am like that with movies, too. By the way, did you see that picture of Reggie holding the revolution controller and calling it his boomstick? I think everyone should revulate themselves after seeing that picture. People who pick sides on a videogame war and want to argue over a system are sad folk to me.

I'm 28 and still game a bit although no where near what I used to as a kid. My tastes in games have also steared away more from twitch based action games to strategy games and heavily story driven games.

I think gaming is just as justified as any other hobby, as long as you manage it along with your priorities such as family, career, friends, and physical / mental health.
