Good.

Nintendo have been and are still responsible for some of the best games 
around, Zelda, Mario etc and seem to be the company mainly responsible for 
new innovations like the revolution controller and the DS.

I hope they get loads of support and sell a bucketload, I for one will buy 
on as soon as I can

I have no plans to pick up the Revolution at launch. I don't believe
the 3rd party support will be sufficient  and I'm not as interested in
Mario and Zelda as I used to be.  If the controller offers an
interesting gaming experience, I may pick one up as an impulse buy
when it hits $150 or so.

I don't know, it has been over three years since I played my N64, with PD, 
Zelda - Ocarina Of Time, and Goldeneye (my favorite shooter of all time). 
But When I got the 64, Zelda was the main reason (as was the NES, and Super 
NES), and I think that series has burned out now. I don't know what the 
games will be like, and how many will be available. Besides, the next Zelda 
(Twilight Princess) is late as hell (disappopinting many fans big time!), 
and that release is supposed to be March or April (?), and it is for the GC, 
not the Revolution.

If Nintendo has a launch of the amount of games like with the 360, then it 
wouldn't work for me. I do think Nintendo provided the kind of games I like 
(RPGs especially), but how many times can the same storyline be written 
again and again. I like shooters and racers (somewhat), but power and 
graphics make them work the best, and I don't see the Revolution providing 
that. That said, paying that much for a console that won't cut it in today's 
gaming, isn't worth it IMHO.

I may get one in the way Imperium stated; maybe by then there will be plenty 
of quality games (both in looks and storyline) that may be appealing, and 
the price will be cheaper. If the game makers start making a good deal of 
RPGs for the 360 (can't wait for Oblivion), then the Revolution doesn't 
stand a chance of my money.

I fully intend to get one, games pending...

As long as the titles are there or at least comming I'm really looking 
forward to it.  The DS is the best peice pf hardware in probably ten years 
and was a real breath of fresh air over the ususal, "here is the same again 
but with more power".  It's the only next gen system im excited about, only 
because of the number of possibilites the new controller brings.

I think the DS is a great kids machine, but that's all it's going to
be. A great kids machine. It's looking like the Revolution is going to
go the same way.

How come I, a fully grown, mature, 25 year old, enjoys the DS immensely?  I 
am not alone, every games reviewer on the main gaming sites (all adults) 
rave about the machine...I think you are in the minority with your thoughts.

Some would say anyone that spends their time playing games consoles are 
"kids", just that some are older than others!

I'll only be getting it for the "revolutionary controller" type games, 
not any of the retro stuff, and then only if they are more involving 
than the gimmicky eyetoy (but great for 15 minutes) games.

E3 will no doubt demonstrate what we can expect.

i'll most likely get one.. i play my gameboy micro more than my xbox and 
  pc combined.. can't spend more than 30 mins playing a game, it's a 
waste of life!

some people on these forums could learn from that... the word addict can 
be easily applied many that post here

nintendo understand there are people like me that still love games but 
don't wanna burn valuable hours just getting past the fricken intro

damn straight.

i am 24 and i play my gameboy micro on trains and stuff and it's the 
bomb... unlike the DS though i don't feel like a mega huge nerd, just a 
minor one... the micro is as inconspicuous as an mp3 player, but the DS 
is just like 'huh?', people would look at you funny

i dunno, i'd imagine people were looking at you funny not for the fact 
you were playing A DS, but for the fact you are an angry monkey sitting 
on a bus :)

Heaven forbid! Just imagine, being seen on 'the street' with non-label
clothing and an uncool handheld console. Your life would be soooo
over.

Get over yourself, man... nobody on the train really cares what you're 
doing, as long as you aren't doing something annoying.  What exactly are you 
worried about?  Is Nelson is going to yell "hah-hah" and make everybody 
laugh at you for playing the DS?

I always wonder why they find other recreational past times such as 
reading fiction, not a similar kids pursuit?

Its entertainment, its pointless. So are games.

I probably won't get one at launch, it depends on the games really.

Out of PS3, XBox360 and Revolution, Revolution's the one I'm most likely 
to get, I find Nintendo more "fun" than the competition :)

I'm still undecided about whether to get one or not. I didn't get a GC
until quite late into it's lifespan and still have an enormous amount
of games I want to play.

Mind you, I kind of did this with the PS1/PS2 as well.

Rob

Because the games are simple, unsophisticated and completely
unchallenging? Just a guess... but I'm betting you don't want to
actually have to work to win at a video game.

All video games are, essentially, Pavlovian training. Task -> Reward,
Task -> Reward. Speaking for myself, if the task is too easy I grow
easily bored. For example, I played WarioWare touched at a demo
station. I wasn't really interested in the game, but I wanted to see
how it used DS functionality. I got 1/4 of the way through the game in
about 5 minutes. The mini-games were simple, a good introduction for
kids into gaming, each one had to be completed in 5 seconds or less...
but there was absolutely no challenge to the thing.

I hope things change when Metroid Prime comes out for the DS, but how
long have we been waiting on that now? Almost 2 years?

Considering the DS has only been out just over a year, I wouldn't have 
thought so.

Except I am extremely close to beating Call of Duty 2 on VETERAN mode and I 
am loving every minute of it (gamertag: Badass Scotsman).

Really, go play Orbit Ball on Wario Ware DS and post your score here.  PS - 
enjoy it too - great fun.

Who cares?  The DS has a multitude of DS titles available at the moment, 
most of them excellent too.

Wake up, the DS is a sophisticated, fun and innovative gaming machine, which 
is a refreshing change.

Badass.

People expected it to be a DS launch title, we've been waiting for it
longer than the DS has been on the market.

Yes, I'll get the Revolution at launch.

I'll get the other consoles as well, eventually, like I usually do.  No

Just because the hardware wasn't available doesn't mean people weren't
waiting for the title.

My original quote: "I hope things change when Metroid Prime comes out
for the DS, but how
long have we been waiting on that now? Almost 2 years?"

We waited before the launch, we waited after the launch, we are still
waiting. How is that unclear or nonsensical?

I'm informed - by my sister and brother-in-law, who were across the 
aisle - that the person in the seat in front of me kept giving me dark 
looks when I was attempting Ready! Steady! Go! in Ouendan. I was leaning 
on the drop-down tray, and causing it - and the seat in front - to 
vibrate quite significantly.

*cough*.

Wanting to have a game in your hands 10 months before the system is even 
released is the nonsensical side of it.  What would be the point of that 
exactly?  You make this "two year wait" sound like some sort of 
complaint is all, and I find it a bit unfair that you're complaining 
about a length of time during which it would be unfeasible to even play 
the game anyway, which is why I pointed out the DS release date in the 
first place.

I have no desire to own the Revolution. The Gamecube is a disappoinment
for me. Slowly each year I have enjoyed less and less games on the
Cube. There was not one original Cube title I liked in 2005 (Don't
bother to mention RE4. My hatred for that series is well documented.)

I don't play that many games and I don't expect every game to be AAA,
but when I only find one Gamecube game fun in the last two years (Paper
Mario) then I have no reason to support Nintendo. It seems to me
Nintendo has been focusing all their attention to the hand helds for
the last few years. There seems to be an endless supply of highly
praised game for the DS and GBA, but I can't stand hand helds because
my hands cramp up in minutes.

I understand your hatred for the series but have you actually played RE4 on 
the GC?
I had my GC packed in a box ready to sell for about 9 months but after 
reading the Game of the Year 2005 reviews for RE4 I unpacked it. I went and 
picked up a used copy of RE4 for $30 and have been having a blast with it.

This is game is not in the same crapper as the previous entries in the 
series. This is by far the BEST horror survival game on any platform period. 
I have not had this much fun on a console since....I don't know when. This 
dragged me away from PC gaming, it's that good. If you have not yet tried 
this game I highly suggest you give it a go. I'm not pumping the PS2 
iteration of RE4 mind you....it is a lesser rendition of this fantastic 
title.
Hats off to Capcom for this game.

If MS had any brains they'd get the Capcom dev team that made this game and 
get a 360 RE5 on the shelves stat! Perhaps it's already in the works. One 
can only dream.
A PC version would knock my socks off =).

haha, you must be old and fat if dont get full contact sports ( i know wwe

guys playing little cartoony mario games is gay. Guys trying
to capture stupid pokemon monsters is gay, guys trying to feed their 
cartoony dogs on the DS is gay. All nintendo games are gay like this.
Hahah, what's so gay is that your an old man and your still playing these 
cartoony games. You're old. Stop
trying to be young because your not, your youth is gone..forget it..let it 
go and move on. Bye bye oldie, dont crap your pants now.

Superb.

If ever anyone needs to cite an example of an illiterate, crass, stupid 
merkin kid, then I would suggest that this should serve as pretty much 
the definitive example.

It will have been committed to the Google archives of course, so he will 
be able to look back on his post in years to come, and while he is 
filling up yet another car with petrol, or cleaning another toilet, he 
will be able to reflect on how well his dull, unimaginative, tiny mind 
has served him.

Well, he certianly didn't select the best game to play to not get attention.

Did you introduce yourself "Hi, I'm furious gibbon" - I'm sure he would have 
thought you equally an idiot.

So did i :O)

This Behaviour is the best response to todays merketing strategy.
I dont pay 60 Euro for a game i can get for half the Money half
a year later.

The only single game i bought full price was RE4 and this game
was absolutely worth that money.

You must be a ignorant little boy if you would list WWE along with real 
sports like football or UFC.  FYI:  Unlimited Fighting Championship is a 
full contact sport.  Professional wrestling is a bunch of very gay looking 
poser-actors, yelling and tumbling to entertain people too stupid to 
appreciate the outcome is predetermined.

It takes a village to raise a child.  HTH

My problem with the Resident Evil series is that I don't like survival 
horror games very much.  What's the point of giving me a gun if you're not 
going to give me any ammo to shoot stuff?  That, and I could never get a 
hang of the control scheme.  If you could switch it to something more 
intuitive maybe I'd give the series another try.

Chris: "then you should be radical and actually play it, as it is
NOTHING like
any of the previous games."

Mark: "I understand your hatred for the series but have you actually
played RE4 on
the GC?"

Yes, I have played it. Yes, the controls and camera are different from
previous RE games, but it still sucks.  I hated it just as much as the
other RE games. Deal with it. Trying to convince me I have to like the
game will not change my mind. I find Capcom to be the worst game
developer right now. I haven't enjoyed one of their games since Street
Fighter 2. They still haven't figured out how to do 3D controls and
cameras correctly.

Chris: "did you play tales of symphonia? fire emblem: path of radiance?
"

Nope, I hate most Japanese created games, but I really hate their RPGs.
Their games aren't my style.

Chris: "i can see why you feel this way, as the cube has had a very
slow trickle of releases"

I bought the Cube so I could play Nintendo games, but lately all of
their highly acclaimed games are released on the GBA or DS. I could
care less about the latest Mario sports title. That's just milking a
franchise that has run out of ideas.

FYI - I personally couldn't really care if you like RE4 or any other 
Japanese games.
You enjoy what you like and I'll enjoy what I like. Done.

It's not often I get to hear from someone whose opinion is the complete
opposite of mine! Can you suggest a few good non-japanese-developed games?

I can at least understand why Hank doesn't like the RE games. The
control scheme does seem to legitimately trouble some people. It
doesn't bother me, but I could see where some people would have issues
with it.

It does seem silly for Capcom to have stuck with a 3D control scheme
invented before we even had dual analog sticks all the way up until RE
4. But I guess once I got used to it I was OK with it.

I tend to think the best games come from European developers, but that
bias goes all the way back to the Psygnosis days on the Amiga. The
Canadians have been stepping up to the plate recently too.

Bioware - Canada
Ubisoft - Canada
Bizarre Creations - U.K.
Lionhead Studios - U.K.
Starbreeze Studios - Sweden (? Sweden? Yup, this was the one I had to
look up.)
Bungie - U.S.
Obsidian Entertainment - U.S.
Activision - U.S.

Off the top of my head...

My favorite all time developer was Interplay (U.S.), but now it seems
they're defunct.

I go back to the C64, Speccy and BBC, and have a soft spot for AcornSoft
and Superior Software from the 'good old days'. But even then Bubble Bobble
(Tatio) on the C64 was an instant classic.

I was really looking just for a handfull of games that I could compare
against the consistently high quality, original content of Square-Enix,
Nintendo or Capcom.

Thanks!

I always wondered about something...  Does the game actually listen for 
the word "sit" or does it record your voice, and then match it later?  So, 
for instance, if I decide the word for the sit command is going to be 
"Woof!" Could I literally  teach my dog to sit when I yell "Woof! woof!" 
into the speaker?  It'd be amusing to teach my dog its tricks by barking 
at it, just not $30 amusing for to find this out.

You're digging yourself deeper here. Did I say you was a prat? Oh yes, I

Then why are you replying to this post? Oh, wait, for the same pathetic 
reasons you berate innocent members of other groups, namely the 
alt.sports.soccer variety - that is, you are a f*cking low-life, trolling, 
SCOUSER f*ckwit.

Hey, I just answered my own question - wish that happened all the time.

Replying to yourself again, I see, Poopex? More desperate attempts to invent 
some friends. When are you going to learn? You make friends by being a good, 
decent person. It's called Karma. Tsk!

No, guys feeding their pork soldier into another bloke's arse is gay - 
nothing at all to do with their choice of videogames. Not that there's 
anything *at all* wrong in the above [if both parties are of age and fully 
consenting that is, like any other relationship].

Why is it still cool to use this homophobic vitriol as the number one insult 
around here? If someone told *me* I looked "gay", I'd very much take it as a 
compliment. It would probably mean I have a smart, groomed appearance, don't 
have one side-burn longer than the other, and wear correct fitting jeans 
that don't hang around my arse like an old cloth sack.

Some people round here have some serious growing up to do!

it "learns" whatever command you say.

so you could get it to sit by saying "vagina" if you really wanted to.

Beyond Good & Evil, Prince Of Persia - French. The fact is, one's country of 
origin does not have a single influence on whether or not one is able to 
make a good game...or not. Which is why saying "I don't like Japanese games" 
is equally as stupid as saying "I don't like non-Japanese games".

Just to correct myself there. :)

I don't consider mainstream Nintendo games to be like other Japanese
games. The look is different. The gameplay is different. Mario isn't a
typical big haired, big eyed metro-sexual teen that most Japanese
consist of. The reason I don't like Japanese games is because I find
them too weird, not because I have anything against the people. When I
watch reviews on Xplay I see the standard Japanese game I want to pull
my hair out and shot my TV. I just don't get it. I won't avoid games
because they come from
