I was just surfing until I accidentaly happened to see some more nintendo revolution and I decided to investigate about it. I was totally impressed, I read a lot of the details (controller, backwards compatability, wifi, etc.) and I bet that there is still some more to come. Seriously, I thought I had matured and that I wouldnt like games anymore after the xbox got a bit boring about a year ago. I wasnt even excited about the xbox 360 release, I was really careless about the new consoles and video games, and now that I read about the revolution, its like if the inner gamer inside of me has awaken. Right now Im probably going to start saving money so that I can buy it whenever it is that it comes out. Anybody know the date? I dont want to be saving money forever.

lol....supposably the realease date is supposed to be late this year...around november ..lol i cant wait till its release..and i have already started saving..im hoping to get almost all the decent realease gear with it..which includes my money for extra controllers..all of the first party games ..all the crappy carrys cases..the LOT lol...cant wait

like, lol...... then we can all play kewl cartoony crap, lol...... i <3 gimiix!!1

Anyway (sorry, Razor - I can't help making fun of people who annoy me with their incomprehensible chatter - only a very small amount of offense inteded), the very first Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super NES, the 64 - I loved them all right from the start. But once the game cube came along, it seemed to simply lose it. Maybe I just grew out of it, I don't know. But I have little other than contempt for everything related to the company that emerged post-64 era. I mean seriously - Mario Sunshine? Luigi's Mansion? What the hell? Mario and Luigi were fantastic little Italian plumbers who collected coins which shot out of a green vertically-tilted pipe. At the risk of sounding like an 'über' geek, the original Mario was something I wasted many an hour on after school in the elementary (and, to a lesser extent, early junior high) years, bouncing on tortoises and headbutting blocks. The new Mario game(s?) seem to, although I haven't played them a great deal, lost that simplistic awesomeness that I'm sure many people of or around my age reflect on with fond memories.

And now here come the pro-GameCuber's to yell at me...

Exactly!! I definetely agree with you Spectre, the same thing happened to me with the gamecube, I had to sell my gamecube to buy an xbox because I couldnt stand the games that were coming out, besides since me and my friends started college we couldnt play smash bros. melee anymore, So I sold my gamecube and got the xbox and played .... halo, gta and halo 2.... after a couple months I sold my xbox and dedicated my time to music and studying.

I thought I would never spend money on a videogame like I used to, and that I would never again be the first in line to get a next gen console. I have also realized that I no longer care about graphics, I prefer game play and lasting appeal way before I could even care about graphics, I can definetely tell you that I still think some old 8 bit and 16 bit and 32 and 64 games are way better than some new top end graphic boring games.

Thats why I think that Nintendo Revolution IS going to be a revolution, I mean, playing with the controller that way is going to be awesome, I can see me playing vs my grandma (yeah right, I really doubt they are going to attract grandparents) J/K. I just want it because I know that I will be able to play the past nintendo games, I would love to play duck hunt again and the olympics game were you had the mat and invite my cousins to play just like when we were 6 year olds. Though I doubt it. I wish it could have old sega games, like Toe Jam & Earl which was one of my favorite games of all time (see Im not a nintendo Hardcore fan, I just play what I like.)

Raar im going to yell at you..lol j/k i am a hardcore nintendo fan.....doesnt stop me thinking about GC's issues that you explain spectre....anyway before this topic gets hijaked by the whole immaturity issue thing...
im going to give the revoloution a chance like i did with GC ..i will not mind if it is a dissapointment though..ive really only bought games that appealed to me...gaming market doesnt mean nothing to me ..aslong as i get my dose of Metroid & Zelda
