Dean Takahashi interviews Iwata (Pre GDC keynote)

 

Q: Youʼre going to save your information on the Revolution until E3?

 

A: Your prediction is correct.

 

Q: What will you talk about there?

 

A: Our objective for E3 is to have a lot of product to experience things such as the controlle. At the Tokyo Game Show last year, we showed video of the controller. A lot of people were surprised, pleasantly I hope. With E3 we want to take the experience of the video and show people what itʼs like to hold it in their own hands. That is where were will do more talking.

 

Q: How much information will you share at E3 about the price and launch dates?

 

A: Weʼre still in the process of deciding how weʼll release the information. The goal is to have the product there to experience. The Revolution is coming out this year...

Mega Drive games on Revolution

 

SEGA has announced that its games will form part of Nintendo's "Virtual Console" system for Revolution - in other words, players will be able to download classic Mega Drive titles and play those alongside Nintendo titles.

 

SEGA is planning to provide a "best of" selection for gamers, according to the publisher's announcement this evening.

 

Virtual Console, which Nintendo announced at E3 last year, will also features NES and Super Nintendo games, while the next-gen console itself is also backwards-compatible with GameCube games through its disc drive.

 

"SEGA continues to develop innovative ways to showcase its new generation leadership," said Naoya Tsurumi, CEO of SEGA of America and SEGA Europe. "SEGA's support of the Virtual Console system will introduce more gamers to classic MEGA DRIVE hits and reinvigorate many of our popular brands," he added.

Q: Youʼre going to save your information on the Revolution until E3?

 

A: Your prediction is correct.

Ναι δυστυχώς μας είχε ήδη "προειδοποιήσει" ο Satoru Iwata ότι θα κρατούσαν τις πληροφορίες για το Revolution ως την E3.

 

Ας ελπίσουμε ότι ετοιμάζουν για την E3 κάτι πολύ καλό...

Rev Controller Does Webslinging

 

Nintendo's new generation console to host a ground-up version of Spider-Man 3.

 

IGN Revolution has learned that Activision will publish a version of Spider-Man 3 built specifically for Nintendo's next generation console, still codenamed Revolution. The game will make use of the system's innovative new controller to manipulate Spidey through the virtual universe. Specific details in this regard were not provided, but IGN speculates that the freestyle unit could be utilized to aim and cast webs, which would in turn accurately guide the hero about the city environments he explores.

 

Activision has formally announced that it is planning to have at least one Revolution title ready during the first four months of the system's launch. However, IGN believes that the publisher's launch game is unrelated to the Spider-Man franchise.

Further details about this project, and others, are expected to be made known at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2006, which kicks off this May in Los Angeles.

Play Genesis & TurboGrafx 16 On Nintendo Revolution

It was previously announced that Nintendo's next generation console, the Revolution, which is designed to compete with the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, will have an online library of games available for download.

 

Now, according to a story on USA Today's Web Site, Nintendo's online gaming service also will offer Sega and TurboGrafx games.

 

Playing Genesis games on a Nintendo console may seem a bit odd, especially to old school gamers who might remember the heated rivalry between Nintendo and Sega during the height of the 16-bit era video games with the Sega Genesis and Nintendo's Super Nintendo and the 8-bit era with Sega's Master System and Nintendo's Entertainment System.

 

While most of these games have been available as illegal emulated ROMs or playable on GameTap's online service, it will be interesting to actually play them on a home console and especially interesting playing them on a Nintendo console given the history.

 

It will sure be fun playing Phantasy Star, Wonder Boy and Alex Kidd on the Revolution.

Nintendo won't necessarily follow Sony and Microsoft's example

 

Nintendo won't necessarily attempt a simultaneous worldwide launch of Revolution, despite Sony and Microsoft's next-generation console tactics, according to president Satoru Iwata.

 

Speaking to Bloomberg at GDC last week, Iwata said, "We don't think it's necessary to do the simultaneous worldwide launch simply because others are doing this."

 

Nintendo has previously said that it plans to launch Revolution this year. The company has not announced a solid release date, although Iwata said on Thursday during his keynote that Nintendo would soon announce how it planned to "disrupt console gaming" - believed to be a reference to the firm's anticipated pre-E3 press conference this May.

 

Iwata also told Bloomberg that the company aims to resolve problems with console shortages in Japan by the end of April.

 

"I'm hopeful in the latter half of April we can get rid of the terrible, terrible shortage situation that we are facing with the Nintendo DS right now," he said on Thursday, admitting that demand was "unpredictable" due to a widening demographic.

No Rare Titles On Revolution Download Service - No Bond! >

 

Another bit of news to come out of the GDC was this tidbit. Apparently there will be no Rare titles available for downlaod on the Revolution. As you know, players will be able to download their favorite old NES and SNES games, for a fee, well you have to count the likes of Force Gemini, Perfect Dark, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and Conker's Bad Fur Day out. Yes, even Bond.

Ναι το Killer Instict δεν θα ειναι διαθεσιμο. Ευτυχως θα ειναι το Donkey Kong διαθεσιμο, αν και ειναι της Rare, γιατι οι χαρακτηρες ειναι της Nintendo.

No Unreal 3 Engine On Revolution >

 

According to Joystiq, Epic VP Mark Rein was overheard saying that it would be hard to utilize the UE 3.0 without HD resolutions. He went on to say the we would probably not see the Unreal 3.0 engine on the Nintendo Revolution. Could Nintendo's non-HD decision be hurting them already?
