Updated Revolution specs on IGN

Why are these specs even dissapointing?
OMG graphics will only be twice as good as this!
Time to slit my wrists!

And Elixer you've swung garbage bags all over the joint! Am I left to clean up again?

What are you even saying here? First you ask us about the hilarious Genesis and TurboGrafx games. Then you ask if Nintendo arn't confident of game sales come launch, a strange thing to ask since Super Mario 64, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Brothers Melee, Wario Ware Touched and Super Mario World are all immensly successful titles. Not finished you then go on to state as if a matter of fact that Superman 64 2 would sell incredibly well if it launched with Revoltion.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

And the Gamecube one was garbage, didn't have online capabilities, and you simply couldn't play proper fighting games with the Gamecube controller. If you have to buy a device for fighting games on the Revolution, well, that's just more money down the drain.

Capcom vs SNK 2 was only online on Dreamcast and it was plauged by lag. The game was still perfectly playable with the Gamecube pad, it just took a while to adjust. Further more the Gamecube version went on to outsell the Xbox version. Then you claim spending money on controller attachments on Revolution to play traditional fighters is money down the drain. Never mind that all the poeple who still play crap like Capcom vs SNK are nerds who happily throw hundreds of dollars away on rubbish like arcade sticks. Those who don't and still buy the game probably arn't taking it seriously anyway and wouldn't be fussed.

Quote:

Most games which are ported to all 3 major leading consoles don't rely on their own controllers, so a company like Ubisoft making a Prince of Persia title with the current Revo controller, I just don't see it happening. It doesn't make sense unless they fix that controller.

Better fucking believe it because Ubisoft have been developing Revolution games for overa year now and we all know tehy can pump out complete games in less time than that. And the way UbiSoft stroke their franchises no doubt a Prince of Persia game will appear on the system. Hey just imagine PoP with sword fights mapped to the motion sensor! Holy shit it'll be a dream! And even if it sucks no doubt PoP 1 and 2 will be availible for download as SNES games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Casual gamers haven't been buying fighting games since Mortal Kombat 3. Why would they start with Revolution? Seriously fighting games are pretty much the only genre that can't be done in their current state on Revolution, it's not like they even matter anymore. Casual gamers and people new to games, Revs target audience, are going to be more excited about using a motion sensor than pulling off quarter circles.

How ya doing, buddy?

Clock speeds are are meaningless as bits. btw I hear Rev will only be 64 bit. When I first heard this I cried for days.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm saying if there were a fighting game on the Revolution, a person should not be forced to buy some gadget in order to play it. And if they don't, they end up with a crappy experience like DDR without a dance mat. (DDR is a crappy experience in all forms, but you get the idea.)

Fighting games are still very much alive over some other genres I can think of(horizontal and vertical shooting titles, light gun games, music games) and serious fighters focus on titles such as Guilty Gear, Tekken 5, 3rd Strike, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and so on. Of course there's going to be little if any fighting games, but it applies for any genre - you should not need to purchase accessories for a full experience.

It's bad enough Revolution owners-to-be will now need an external hard drive to play roms. And there's loads of genres which can't be executed properly on the Revolution unless they change their controllers, just look at your local arcade to see what titles would be difficult to play with a controller like that.

Where did Nintendo mention SNES games being on the Revolution?

Wow so the only genres less dead than fighters are ones that were barely even alive to begin with.

It has half a gig of onboard memory! What are you saying? And seriously who doens't have some kind of external harddrive/falsh device these days anyway? Hint: They're called mp3 players.

Where did they mention SNES games on Revolution? Oh i dunno E fucking 3 perhaps? This news is nearly a year old now!

And going down to my localarcade I see tons of games that could not only be played on Revolution, but enhanced. Racing games would be great with a metaphysical motion sensative steering wheel. Light gun games will be infinitly better. This is pretty muche verything arcades are made of.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
