Revolution games being created now
Iwata reveals that kits are out
Games for Nintendo's forthcoming GameCube successor, dubbed the Revolution, are in development now in some quarters; revealed Ninty chief Satoru Iwata during a chin-wag with Business Week. Having previously stated that development kits for the Revolution would be sent to developers around E3 (May), the big boss surprised all by stating that some kits are already in the hands of developers. "Development kits are already out there, depending on which stage you're talking about," he commented, cryptically. "All I can say right now is 'in the near-future' for the basis platform information they will need to get started on games."
"Whether Nintendo is a winner or loser on Revolution totally depends on how our customers react to it, and since they do not know much about it, I can't respond. A year or two from now, it will be interesting to know who ultimately made the right choices. I'm confident we have made the right decisions," Iwata added, when questioned on the Revolution's chances against the PS3 and Xbox 2.
The Revolution is believed to take a similar approach to consoles as the DS does to handhelds, spicing-up the traditional formula with innovative control methods and a few surprises. WiFi has already been confirmed, and it is known that the machine will be powered by a CPU from IBM, and graphics from ATI.

Games dev kit are out there! there has to be a picture of it some were Nintendo have already got a buyer and thats me!
Gfx form ATi CPU for IBM it has to be at least a dual 1.8Ghz G5 64bit CPU's, and 512mbGDDR3 RAM with a 600Mhz Gfx chip.
i wouldent go that far my guess is 2ghz and about 128 mb gfx but im hoping they do the right thing and put 256 or if we r lucky 512
I really cant wait to hear from E3 for d revolution i havent seen 1 real picture yet. I hope they dont bring out the GBA2 for a good while cus I just got a DS and its brilliant.
Whatever. We all know the graphics won't be half as good as the Sony PlayStation 3. It might not even match up with the Sony PlayStation 2 Computer Entertainment System at Nintendo's rate, LOL. They shouldn't even bother releasing it and just let the company die already. Throw in the towel, Nintendo! You're done!
duremot_sony, you haven't a clue what you're on about. The gamecube has better 'graphics' than the playstation 2. And Nintendo, for over two decades have consistently output the best games available. The reason that the playstation has done so well is because saps like you are too easily influenced by advertising. And lets not forget that it was Nintendo who actually aided siny's first steps into the business.
I AM OBSESSED WITH NINTENDO AND THE DS IS BETTER THAN PSP!!

Hopefully these games are more of a virtual reality focus.
personally, i cant wait for the e3 unveiling on the Nintendo Revolution. I'm also looking forward to the WiFi and online capabilities on the Revolution. Above all though, i'm looking forward to a 3rd Super Smash Brothers game which will be online and LAN capable!!! Dont get me wrong, i LOVE SSBmelee, but it would be a flawless game with that technology. Nintendo will live on forever!
the revolution will live up to its hype i know it. Also duremont_sony you don't even know what your talking about nintendo has still got the top on sony. Nintendo devolpes the best first party games while sony devolopes crap. Most of its games suck. Super Smash brothers is the best game out there on the market everybody knows that. Also its handheld PSP is impresive but still hasn't sold all of its 1 million units it has 375,000 units estimated out there and the DS has sold 2.5 million units. It has even sold more in japan 2 million units while the PSp has sold around 575,000 PSPs a in america and 1.5 million in japan come on. Sony bsaid that the PSP was in high demand in the united states when they still got 375,000 PSPs out there. I just say a 8 PSPs on ebay yesterday for $142.000 come on. Dude the DS is going to have internet access for free all around the world. imagine Super Smash brothers on the DS on the internet that would be the best game for handhelds.
I'd choose fun over graphics anyday. I think graphics are still a very cool aspect of video games; I'm awed by superior graphics just like anyone else, but they don't mean squat if the game just isn't any fun to play. Sure the game may look good, but why waste your time when you're bored stiff. That's why nintendo will ALWAYS be at the top of my list. They are the pioneers of video game innovation and creativity. They understand what it really takes to have fun. It's too bad there are people out there who simply can't understand that.
Btw I cannot wait for the unvieling of the Revolution, the anticipation is crippling!
Rumours rumours rumours. Bunch of rumours about the Rev. Like touch screen controller, and stuff like that. But what about the Gameboy Evolution, well I've seen a couple sties stating the the GBE will use discs, will have the same basic design as the SP, and you'll be able to play GBA games by transfering them from the cartrige to some storage device in the GBE. It'll have built-in bluetooth. But what is really interesting is that it might be a PORTABLE GAME CUBE!!! Yes alot of things point to that, Ninty said that it won't stop making GC games just yet and that the DS wasn't the one to compete with the PSP. I've actually found pics on it, but I couldn't find it the next day. It looked like a slightly bigger GBASP fused with a GC controller although still maitaining the squareness of it. It also might be an Media player of sorts. And I do believe that when it is flipped closed that there is a touch screen on the top for your PLAY, PAUSE and other various music listening buttons. I also saw articles on both IGN and Gamespy with info on this matter. I sure hope Ninty oulls out something awsome, although I'll probably buy the Revo just for SSB3.
hi it is me again Let me tell you the reason why nintendo is and will be a contender in the next generation. It's like they've been trying to tell us for the last 5 years "it's all about the games." The games nintendo makes are amazing...they are games in every sence of the word (I don't even know what that means). They are game that you accually play and have fun with. Sony and Xbox are making machines that are trying to have super realistic graphics. That's great for them...I get better graphics on my daily bike ride to work (ie real life...try it some time it's great). I saw Sony's tech demos...they are cut scenes...real time rendered, yes...very nice, yes...but you can't play a cut scene. I love UT as much as the next guy but I don't see how it's going to be any different with better graphics (SideNote: Consoles should stop making FPS games....end of story...where's my mouse?). Then there was Xbox 360 demos. They showed actual games and actual game graphics (ie renders with AI and IO running...of course pre-set realtime cut screnes would look better...well ducks are cute). The things they showed...like that war game whatever that was...had great graphic and had alot of things going on. What part of the game do you control though. There is so much not in your control...it's like real war. Some of you are most likely saying that a good thing...not me real war is not about any of your skills it's about getting blown up or shot in the back and there is nothing you can do about it. Anyways back on topic....It's not all about fancy graphics. Pong is Fun...it always was. It's all skills and not alot of distactions. I love and drool over CG. FFVIIAC, I'm all about it. It's a movie that's where great graphics belong. When I play a game I want the objective to be clear and timing skill and contol of my part be the desiding factor of my fate...not like: lucky me I didn't get hit by the bomb that time. With that said...then it's all about the interface. This is where revolution has a chance to shine. I play FPS games on PC...mouse, enough said. I only need a concole for what's left...adventure for me, maybe others want sports, RPG(go PC for the MMO kind though),or racing. Nitendo has always been the leader in controlers..analoge stick, first...rumble, first...wireless, first. Nintendo makes the inovation and the others try to keep up in the next generation. I could keep going but it's late so nintendo makes GAMES(real ones). They make nintendo systems for GAMES and GAMES are made for Nintendo systems. More STUFF is made for the other ones but Nintendo still makes GAMES. So I'll drool over the cut scenes on those other concoles, but I'll be playin' on nintendo. The rest is for real reality...I'm living that don't need a simulation thanks.
