It feels strange that in a little over 6 months the revolution will be out. There is such little concrete information on the system (esp. considering that PS3 will be out fall of '06 and we have almost all the info). Hopefully we will see much more info in the not too distant future. When does that big Japanese Nintendo conference happen? This fall right?

This isn't going to happen. I'm guessing that this is just another one of the ongoing fake Nintendo ads that have been coming out lately. Remember the "On" thing? Nintendo can't get their system out by March.

Check this out. Nintendo fans are wierd.

By the way it's spelled "verified".

You should just mod me so I can correct your spelling errors.

Seconded.

The Revolution will be a toaster-helmet.
The Revolution will beat the XB2 and PS3.
The Revolution will be villified.

Also, Toups is DA MAN.

nintendo's going to have some problems marketing their new console...seeing as the revolution will not be televised.

It's supposed to be more in the under-$200 range. Cheap as possible.

That newfangled Xbox may be $200, but that's not including the cost of any games, controllers, a hard drive or memory card, and the Highly Official proprietary cable or combination of cables to actually hook the thing up to an HD television, all of which are going to be $10+ more expensive than the last time around. The turkey's cheap, but they'll gouge you on the cranberry sauce.

That's for a regular xbox. The 360 will go after pets and small children first.

Mister Toups · Posted: Mon Jun 27, 2005 10:45 pm Post subject:

The new Xbox will be much more than $200. $300 at least, and I'm betting it will be as high as 350. If not higher!

Gamers want it! Gamers want it!

There's a neat wired article in the new issue that's tangentially about this.

You see, this is why I try not to imagine someone's physical appearance based off of their characteristics online. You'll just get mixed up on your expectations with the individual which will fruther lead into disappointment, regret, and anger for those of us that really needs a little anger management classes. Yeah!

...

*Cough!* I also genderbend as a girl avatar in MMORPGs, so I try to act as a girl so others would believe that I am one in role-playing. If I fooled one person then I'm doing a pretty good job at it. I think...

I played a female character in a persistant world when I still played Neverwinter Nights. It was kind of disgusting the things people would do. I was trying to be a serious roleplayer against the fact that most others were not. I would find a fun group everyonce in a while because of it. The thing was, I would love to let guys, who had been "hitting on me" for 5 or 10 min, in on that I was a dude. They were pretty quiet after that. This... was a long time ago though.

Shaper, your avatar is of a chick? I thought it was like some 10 year old garage mechanic or something.

Anyway, I avoid such confusion by having a bearded avatar. Of myself. With beard no less. Thanks to Personasama for it. I was a bit nervous tbh, I normally never show my face on the net. Too paranoid of assasination you see.

Otherwise, what's a slammer?

Damn. Maybe my internetting style isn't manly enough.

Wait, let me try this....

"Dude!!! Yah! So then chaps, whose up for a few pints and a Winning 11 tournament?!"

Would you class that as stereotypical male net banter? I injected a bit of a British tone in there, which I think keeps it balanced.

Anyway, back on topic.

The Revolution. They mentioned emulating older systems. Does anyone think this might spark a return to NES or SNES game development?

Shigesato Itoi, according to Tim Rogers, is toying with the idea of making Mother 3 a SNES game.

I would relish the ability to buy and play new NES games. Priced cheaply of course.

I often role play as a lesbian, mostly to keep away the drooling morons.

Wouldn't keep away the drooling morons pretending to be lesbians, though.

And how the fuck did you sneak that avatar in?
