JB0 Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) Oy.I know what BD+ is...I believe you were the one that said Blu-Ray works exactly like CSS which is true with AACS but adds things in the form of the ROM mark and BD+. I was sort of catching up, and covering what I'd missed. Final controller design to be shown at E3 '06 I REALLY hope it's not another recolored DualShock case. Edited March 23, 2006 by JB0
Radd Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I was pretty dismayed by the outcry against the PS3 controller, not because I expected that to be a good controller, but because not a single person who booed it off stage knew what it was like. For a tech-based group, the videogame community is definitely very phobic against change, whether it's contoller design or new technology.
Black Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I don`t care if it looks like the regular DS pad just improve the D-button like Nintendo or Sega pads. As for this I aint saying nothing
Apollo Leader Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Genesis and Turbo Grafx libraries available for Nintendo Revolution! Not only will the Revolution be backward compatible with the Gamecube and be able to download N64, SNES, and NES games, but now it's going to able to play many of the games of its past two competitors! Who would have ever saw this coming?! While Microsoft and Sony are pushing for the ultimate next generation machines, Nintendo is aiming for making this the ultimate nostalgia machine! After having sold off virtually every Nintendo thing I ever had last fall (kept only my newer model SNES and 21 games for it), the Revolution is looking ever more tempting and exciting to get. I just might have to rebuy my Mario Kart Double Dash and Ikaruga!
Ladic Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I have a question about playing the oldschool game on Rvolution, will you have to pay for each game you download or what?
Black Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Very impressive, as for paying Nintendo did mention it before but very little as I know. I am sure some how the VG pirates will find a way. Whats now missing are the 80`s, early 90`s arcade games and SNK-Neo Geo games.
Black Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Hmm.... A Saturn pad by Sega of course, a PC-Engine pad by Hudson or Hori for the NR !
David Hingtgen Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Is there going to be any controller compatability between GC and Revolution? Because I have the "SNES style" Hori pad for my GC, and there's nothing better for playing SNES games!
Black Valkyrie Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 Yes plus the NGC memory cards. There were pics from 2005 E3, the pads and the memory cards can be plugged beside the NR.

capt.actionjackson Posted March 23, 2006 Posted March 23, 2006 I hope Gunstar Heroes makes an appearance. Way to go Nintendo. I just found my next gen system.

Who would have ever saw this coming?! While Microsoft and Sony are pushing for the ultimate next generation machines, Nintendo is aiming for making this the ultimate nostalgia machine! ... I always said the TG16 was like an NES+, but to see Nintendo agree with me... Is there going to be any controller compatability between GC and Revolution? Because I have the "SNES style" Hori pad for my GC, and there's nothing better for playing SNES games! It's not really clear. There ARE GameCube controller and memory card ports, but contrary to popular belief there is NO indicator as to whether these are supported by, or even visible to, Revolution software.
David Hingtgen Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Thought I just had---will the SegaCD, TurboDuo etc stuff be available too? Copies of Dracula X would come down from $150 if you could download it for the Revolution...
Gaijin Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 If they were also adding Sega CD and TG CD games, I'd definitely add the Rev to my purchases this year.

I don't think Dracula X was ever localized for the US. Here's a Genesis game I hope makes it on to the list... Zero Wing!!! All your base are belong to us!

I don't think Dracula X was ever localized for the US. Technically, Dracula X only EXISTS in the US. But I DO know what you mean, and Rondo of Blood never had a localization. It wouldn't be hard to do, though. There's only a handful of japanese text, all contained on the intro sequence and title screen, so it's really just a matter of dubbing the game and replacing the Akumajo Dracula logo with a Castlevania logo. Konami would be fools to ignore the possibility. Here's a Genesis game I hope makes it on to the list... Zero Wing!!! All your base are belong to us! I'd rather see the PCEngine SuperCD version. With CUTSCENES. Just out of morbid curiosity. ... I wonder who owns Toaplan's properties now, anyways.
Ladic Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 I wish they could remake 3 great games. WARSONG Uncharted Waters Aerobiz 3 of the best games of the 16 bit era
Kin Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Lol I'm still looking for a neo geo AES... back in the early 90's I'm so lucky to have seen the console in action before the gamestore went bankrupt. What an expensive piece of hardware... It's probably the longest console in service, from 1992 til 2004? Will there ever be High-end consoles that overlap the ps3 and xbox360?

It's probably the longest console in service, from 1992 til 2004?Will there ever be High-end consoles that overlap the ps3 and xbox360? 383846[/snapback] Pr'ly not. The NeoGeo home system was a disaster, really. And the arcade scene is mostly dead now. The only arcade boards that aren't based off current-gen consoles are based on the PC. I really think the NeoGeo and CPS2 were the beginning of the end for arcades. Once those hit the cabinets, hardware quit evolving so rapidly. It was just CPS and NeoGeo games for a long time, and that gave consoles a lot of time to catch up. Hell, CPS2 wasn't retired until the Dreamcast. And a Saturn could do literally perfect ports, and still have power left over. Only reason the PS couldn't was it didn't have enough RAM. Capcom waited too long to upgrade. And when they did, they let the CPS2 team sabotage the CPS3. Then they just said to heck with it and jumped to NAOMI. SNK... they waited too long(not NEAR as long as Capcom, though. The PS1 and Saturn were out, but not the N64), and then just never tried again. The NG64 wasn't what it should have been, and SNK just never came back to the idea. Edited March 25, 2006 by JB0
Black Valkyrie Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 From Magicbox : R E V O L U T I O N - Follow-up with yesterday's announcement of supporting PC-Engine/Turbografx and Genesis game software via virtual console on Revolution, Nintendo confirmed that PC-Engine/Turobgrafx CD-ROM2 games will be supported, but no confirmation on Mega-CD/Sega-CD games yet.
JB0 Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Dear Nintendo: Macross 2036 translation plzkthx. Eternal Love Song would be nice too.

I didn't know that they bought the rights for emulating those consoles! But if this is true then that's more points for N's Rev! Now if they'd just start putting out new titles.... in larger quanity.... Edited March 26, 2006 by chrono
yellowlightman Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Magicbox is not a particularly reliable, source, I'd way until we hear it from other soures before getting too excited.
sabretooth Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 still a hell of a lot more reasosns to buy the rev than the other systems
Gaijin Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 still a hell of a lot more reasosns to buy the rev than the other systems 384172[/snapback] I wouldn't go that far.
bandit29 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 still a hell of a lot more reasosns to buy the rev than the other systems 384172[/snapback] No not yet. The Revolution and the big N will have to show me new games before I really consider buying it. Not just games that I've been playing for 15-20(perhaps 25? ugh..I'm old) years.

A Zelda that might not come out for years, another Mario game, another Metriod game, and possibly another RE game just doesn't cut it enough for me to throw 150+ at a game system. Not even with all of the backwards compatibility they are putting into it!
Wes Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 IGN.com has the specific transcripts. I wouldn't say that it's so much ALL Genesis and TurboGrafix games, just the popular Sega and Hudson ones from how they're saying it. But if they have those, maybe other companies will put theres on. I wonder if we'll see and download-only games or download-extras from the Revolution.
myk Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 The Revolution could be released with Zelda, Metroid and Mario as the only games for its entire lifespan and I would still buy it. I've always considered Nintendo to be the miracle machine, capturing so many people with so little. They've done it before, and they'll do it again...
sabretooth Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 well nintendo keeps their systems simple. they are not trying to usher in a new age of media formats, cram as much multimedia stuff into a machine as they can, they are just making a gaming concole thats it. and they have nowhere near as many problems in the qc department as the other guys (afaik) so i'm sticking with nintendo.
yellowlightman Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Given Nintendo's poor performance these past two generations, a few extra old emulated games sure as hell aren't going to sell me. A nice addition, sure, but I'm not going to buy a system to games I could be playing on my computer for free.

And do the dub themselves if they have to. An english Rondo of Blood could move the system all on it's own. We already know they're getting 3rd-party software for the download network. (Thank goodness. I like Nintendo, but really, the NES and SNES succeeded because of 3rd-party support, not Nintendo's titles alone.)
