That actually looks pretty cool. I thought the port on the bottom of the Revo controller was just for the Nunchuck thing, but That would probably work too.

In a recent interview with the President of the GDC (Game Devoloper's Confrence), he said that both Sony and Nintendo are going to be realising some juicy, zesty details about their new consoles at the GDC. So, look forward to next week.

Could you get me a link to that interview?

I hope we get some new trailers from the GDC. Preferably next-gen.

Damn, I just noticed the length of the post. Anyways, my eyes hurt after reading all of that, but my post is much shorter. 4 projects, one is on the Revolution itself, and 3 games, 2 with actual screenshots, thanks to the Developer Kits sent out 2-3 weeks ago.

Two Disc Formats, One Slot: Instead of a tray, a single, innovative, self-loading media bay will play both 12-centimeter optical discs used for the new system as well as Nintendo GameCube discs. Owners will have the option of equipping a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content.

It's the second sentence that threw us for a loop. A small, "self-contained attachment" to play movies and other DVD content. Unless we're missing something, a self-contained attachment seems to suggest that Nintendo might sell a Revolution DVD-drive separately.

An odd choice of words in the press release or a vague confirmation that a separate drive is in the works? Let the speculation begin.

quote

The company's first and more advanced Revolution project is called Raid Over the River. A DS version is also in development. Raid Over the River is a vertical shooter in which players control an air combat vehicle through a series of missions. The title will employ an "easy to learn, but hard to master" flight model, 10 different levels taking place in changing time and weather conditions, and at least four different aircraft, each with differing attributes. Available flight vehicles will include a fighter-class plane, bomber, transporter or AWACS, according to Nibris.

The company's second game, Sadness, is nothing like the first. Nibris would like to keep the specifics a secret for the moment, but Orlovsky did provide a general overview in his own words.

"All I can say now is that it is going to be a gothic horror [game], which will scare not with the amount of blood but with sheer atmosphere. Imagine a game in which you do not use guns or knives but you will have to protect yourself with the objects you find exploring the ground -- a stone, a stick, etc," he said. "Some examples of using the controller - you swing a torch with it to scare the rats off; you slit the throat (controller as a piece of glass or a knife); if you want to climb the wall you will have to hook a rope over the piece of a wall sticking out (controller serving as a lasso). And this is only the beginning."

Uh-uh. The screenshots are from the PC version of the golf game, if you read the article right. And the RotR screenshots are from the originally planned GC version of the title (Nibris has no Rev devkit at the moment).

old.....anyway I believe someone said that the screen shots from the Pangya Golf game were from the pc version and not the revolution, although at the end there might not be much difference....

Edit: New Update
Raid over the River: A Comprehensive First Look





WARNING: IS A BIT LONG

Looks good. Keep up the good work and info, Nintendo, and I may yet let you live.

Is there a release date yet? Other than Sometime in November. Like a specific date?

Since there is no offical date for the Revolution launch, then there should be no date for this game to come out. Looks cool though.

It's been confirmed at GDC, Sega Mega Drive (Genesis for you yanks) games will be available on the Virtual Console, as will games from the TurboGrafx-16 (which to be honest means nothing to me). But YAY! Sonic, Streets of Rage, and NiGHTS all on my Rev!
