Updated Revolution specs on IGN

Ok, Acer needs to either open the Revolution thread, or this needs to be closed.

We can't have a thread for every single Revolution announcement from here until November.

I guess they weren't kidding when they said "it's like an upgraded xbox."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm going to be pretty pissed off if the Revolution doesn't have a 4 inch thick cartridge slot for NES games.

But seriously, this is hilarious. Megadrive and TurboGrafx roms on the Revolution? What, do they have doubts that their mainstream launch titles won't sell very well? People would buy Superman 64 2 if it were a Revolution launch title.

I think Megalith has a point here. Developers will decide to make money from distributing their titles to the 360 and PS3, but not the Revolution. The same thing reminds me of Capcom vs. SNK 2 - it was on the Dreamcast, PS2, xbox, and Gamecube. 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.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Capcom vs SNK 2 was only online on Dreamcast and it was plauged by lag.

What is xbox live?

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.

People who build or have their arcade sticks made for them are serious fighters who want to improve on their fighting skill. If a casual gamer wanted to play a fighting game on the Revolution, he should NOT be expected to pay for an additional device in order to play it.

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

Capcom vs. SNK 2 is alive and kicking.

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?
