“Microsoft’s Peter Moore praises Nintendo’s Revolution controller”
Read the article, it’s sarcastic. He calls it an “attempt”

Can anyone get the Ikaruga video in a non proprietary (google is really starting to piss me off) format?
Google uses opensource to get rich, and then gives nothing back except their damn search engine…bastards.

Can someone put those tech specs into perspective for me? I just don’t know what the numbers mean.

I’m pretty sure it’s what everyone expected. Stronger than the GC, but weaker than the other two next-gen platforms.

like half of the dragonball game is talking.

The Mario Sports article is an interesting read. I really think that, in the next gen, Nintendo should really develop this as a alternative brand to EA Sports.
Now they’ve created the base mechanics for Football (or Soccer), Golf, Baseball and Tennis (don’t really count Mario Kart in the same brand) they’ve can develop them into more fully realised ONLINE products for the Revolution.

if this is true and i beleive that the REVO will have a PPU and soundcard , then it’s a pretty darn good set up , and the interview with martin hollis is very promising , it’s a fact NINTENDO NEVER RELEASED A WEAK HOME CONSOLE !!!! nintendo do it only in the hanheld field ” like the original gameboy and now with DS” but REVO will have more horsepower than everybody expected, the only thing that I’m curious to know is how the hell will they cool off the Revo it’s so tiny!!! they’re so smart they have found the solution months ago………

Nintendo Bluetooth controller? I thought it was going to be for use on laptops.
Then I found out it is a PHONE headset. NEato! That’s even better!

hey guys wasn’t sure if a cover art was news worthy for just one post. And if it is even posted yet so I thought I would comment the link here with the link dump. It’s the awesome Super Mario Strikers cover art.
