Nintendo REV News - Featuring Hard Gay!

[Keith Justice]

Check it out...

Nintendo Revolution is going to debut at a price of under US$300. The limited number of Xbox 360 consoles can be seen to be bundled and selling for anything above $700. Analysts are betting the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to cost around $500.

Nintendo aims to target:

1. Young children
2. Middle-aged adults
3. Female gamers

Nintendo is confident that the Revolution will be much cheaper to develop and will not burn a hole in consumers’ pockets.

Reggie Fils-Aime, Vice President of sales and marketing (Nintendo) seems confidnet in beating the Xbox 360.

We will sell more units than Xbox 360 did here in the United States in our launch window. I mean, in December, we sold more GameCubes in the United States than Microsoft sold 360s, and Revolution will do better than that.

An interesting war among the three next-genearation consoles will definitely commence this year.


Final Fantasy Crystalises On Revolution
Youichi Wada, the president of Square Enix, has spread positive news about the company's first Revolution project - a sequel to the lackluster Gamecube title Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. The original was bogged down by the required use of GBAs and link cables to play, while this title will feature "intense use of the revolutionary control of the platform", and will most likely be a launch title for the system.


Tecmo's first Rev title.
Is a port of a korean golf game, PangYa Golf. It includes a "hard gay" mode! A mod that includes leather wear for your game characters. Odd isn't it?

Interesting choice for Tecmo's first title.


REV: New game this year from Midway
Quote:
Midway joins Revolution
CEO David Zucker reveals company is developing for Nintendo's upcoming console; game slated for release this year, details scarce.

LOS ANGELES--One of the phrases every Nintendo fan is anxious to hear is "We will have a Revolution title this year." Those exact words were spoken by the CEO of Midway Games, David Zucker, in a one-on-one conversation with GameSpot yesterday.

The console, which has been shrouded in secrecy since it was unveiled at May's E3 expo, hasn't had much in the way of announced games announced for it yet. For the Nintendo faithful, even the smallest tidbits of information on Revolution games are as valuable as gold.

While Zucker didn't give away the game's title, it might not be what gamers expect. Midway currently has four next-gen games announced: Unreal Tournament 2007, a TNA-licensed game, The Wheelman, and Stranglehold. Both the TNA game and The Wheelman aren't expected to hit stores until 2007, and Unreal Tournament 2007 has been confirmed for this year--only for the PC.

This leaves Stranglehold as the likely option for Midway's first Revolution game. Further evidence comes from the game's trailer shown during Midway's presentation last night. Previously expected to be released on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, a bombshell was dropped at the trailer's end, when footage stated that the game would be coming to "ALL next-gen consoles." [Emphasis added.]

However, today, Midway reps told GameSpot that the aforementioned project was not Stranglehold, but "another project." The rep admitted that Stranglehold may come to the Revolution at a later date (after the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions), but no plans are set yet.

Expect more details about Midway's unnamed Revolution project at this year's E3.

You should take up listening to GamingSteve.Com. He's got the best video game podcast on the intertron and explained very well why Nintendo is doing what it's doing.

Sony and Microsoft have the small hardcore gaming community pretty much locked up. But there's still the population of the rest of the entire planet and if they can just grab a little bit of that they can easily out do Sony and Microsoft like with what they're doing on the DS.

It might not sound like a good idea, but with the DS they're busting up motherlovin' heads and laughing all the way to the bank.

The Rev will still have its heavy hitter franchises that men like us enjoy, but on top of that... a new gaming experience you can't get anywhere else at a cost that developers can afford and your common gamer can also afford.

I once thought how you did, but after listening to Gaming Steve's explanation... The Revolution and Nintendo are looking to take no prisoners this gaming cycle.

I don't see what's wrong with #1. I was a young child when I got my first gaming system at around 5 years old.

And you got something against female gamers, my friend Paulette is a big fan of GC games like Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Nintendo is an excellent company, that really strives for great gameplay in their games, something Sony tends to have a big lack of. Nintendo believes in quality, not quantity. So I'm all for the Revolution and hope to see some excellent games for the system when it's out.

It was sarcasm. I've got little siblings including a sister.

I've gotta stick with the Nintendo anyway because they always give me the best wrestling games. I'm very high on my Gamecube.
