Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

The with Revolution having no HDTV capabilities, it will hurt nintendo in the nextgen war more then you think.

Well the PSP has 10 times more 3D power than the DS, yet the DS is killing it in sales. So I doubt no HD will hurt the Revolution.

Yeah that really makes no sense.

Well there are many, many gamers who enjoy the old games for whatever reason and for them this is the first time you can get them legally, get them all in the one place, get them with 100% compatibility, on your TV etc...

Makes a lot of sense to anyone with half a brain.

Lmao you take games way too seriously, there's no need to insult me over nothing. Why would you spend around $200(if it is that much) when you can go to a used store and buy a system and a lot of games for a lot less? I don't know about you but I still have every system that I have owned so if I really want to play those games then I will play the ones that I want on that system. Of course it's your money so you can waste it however you want

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

That's the funniest thing I've seen here for a while.

You get a sarcastic comment replying to pretty much another and it gets deleted.

You also get much worse day in, day out in this place... meh. Whatever. My theory is true I guess.

I did not insult anyone, you are the only one who insulted me for no reason at all therefore your comment gets deleted. And if you love seeing your insults, it's still quoted in my post so have fun.

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

You rrrrrrrrrrrreallly want to go there?

- Gamecube was a joke and a complete failure (with regards to the competition)
- Only a handful of games were enjoyable (RE4, Metriod, Eternal Darkness, Windwaker, Viewtiful Joe)
- No 3rd party support
- No sports games
- No HDTV support (nor will the Revolution have HDTV support)
- Constant delays on Killer-Apps (It's damn near 2006, where the **** is my Legend of Zelda)



Truth is, Nintendo hasn't been competitive since I was in middle school...and that was damn near 10 years ago. You know it's bad when they even market the Revolution as an 'alternate,' console.

With that said, I'll still ****ing buy one.

I'm with this guy (+ add in the U-Force, Power-Glove, Mr. Robo to your list of Nintendo Failures). I'll probably still get one though as well.

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

Yeah that really makes no sense.

I don't think that people are buying the system to just play old games. Its just a great alternative for those who would like to play the games that got us to where we are today.

Its not as easy as you make it seem about picking up an old Nintendo system and games and then playing them. Plus, what happens when the one you have breaks down? It happens.

I am glad that you still have all the systems you ever owned thats cool, but not everyone is as fortunate.

And for myself, a gamer who grew up playing the original Nintendo, I would love to play the old games again. Maybe others don't, but then again they dont' have to buy a Revolution.

All I'm saying is that it doesn't make much sense to me to just buy a system for old games and that's what I thought you wanted to do.

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

Getting a new system to play old titles just seems stupid to me.

When I bought a PS2, I had about 20-25 PSone games, and still do, but I haven't played them once since.

As for it being priced low.. Not sure I agree with that. $299 is about the price that the basic models of the other consoles are selling at, so if anything it seems to be priced right around the other consoles.

Call me stupid if you will, but the main reason the Revolution was even on my radar is because of all the old titles. However, there is no way I would fork over more than 200 bones for the right to do so, especially considering I would then have to pay more to actually download/play the games. Of course, I would also buy the occasional Revolution-gen game, but nowhere near as often as I would for the other systems.

Nintendo is positioning this, hell I guess all of their other products the last few years too, as niche products, and that is all well and good. Variety can never hurt anyone. I honestly couldn't give 2 piles of dung about the gadgety controller at this point, but if others get a kick out of it, great, and my opinion could also very well change once I get it in my hands.

A couple people made mention of the fact that it won't display anything in HD. I agree that it probably won't hurt Nintendo much sales wise, but then again, they are going for a niche market, not the end all, be all home media solution. That being said, if they do launch at a $299 or close price point, you do have to consider the fact that the 360 DOES offer HD resolution and a lot more at a similar price point. No HD? Cool, but I think they should then launch it at a more competitive price. No one knows for sure what it will be, so we'll all just have to wait and see.

Whoever said that if you are buying a Nintendo machine as your primary system you are going about it all wrong was dead right, at least from my viewpoint. Nintendo does make really solid machines, and they have offered some great games, but they are best as complimentary consoles imo.

Gotta clear up some confusion here.

With GBA, DS and GC Nintendo MAY(can't confirm, but almost am assured) beat sony in total sales 4th qtr. That's more than competitve, that's winning. MS doesn't come close to either

HDTV represents a tiny fraction of the market.

I do agree GC was a letdown with 3rd party again...but it wasn't nearly as bad as say the dreamcast.

Stretching things with the no sports stuff - mario tennis etc...

Wow man zelda was delayed barely a year...they are just as bad as kameo, ff/kh and perfect dark(skipped a whole generation).

Re: Nintendo Revolution price confimed!!!

I'm more excited about the Revolution than the other two simply because of the possiblilities that the controller brings.

I've felt for a while now that the whole duel shock form of controller is played out. Everything's starting to feel like the same ol' same ol'. So I'm hoping, from what I've read and all that the new gaming innovations that Nintendo is offering with the controller setup can really bring a bit of spark back to our hobby.
