The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
Some of you may recall my previous topic detailing how I think not showing Revolution properly (just a concept, non playable etc), would be a HUGE mistake for Nintendo. Then Dringo argued with me about it, saying that my opinion was wrong (good one!!!11).
Anyway, turns out IGNcube agree with me completely.

The main points for those of you too lazy to read:
- Sony and Microsoft are going for MASSIVE launches of their new machines, Nintendo needs to keep up
- Nintendo need to pay attention because no one outside the fanbase is talking about Revolution, because no one knows anything about it, so they ignore it
- Nintendo need to use Reggie to unveil the console and games
- Revolution must be playable to generate interest, just like with the DS
- Revolution can't sacrifice power for gimmicks
- The revolution must actually improve the gameplay experience and not just change it slightly for no reason
- Games must be shown and not just talked about
- Nintendo can't forget 3rd parties by making Revolution so different that no one will want to develop for it
- Gamecube needs some surprise games
- Mario 128 must be playable or at least shown
- Zelda must be more than just OOT v 2
So pretty much everything that I said. Anyone agree/disagree? Personally I think they've got it spot on.
Oh and the report also says that Developers haven't got hard machine specs or dev kits yet, Dringo, so looks like you were wrong about that. Apparently we'll get that at the GDC in March.
Anyway, turns out IGNcube agree with me completely.

IGN making some sense, wow! :P
Yeah, they need to make it playable, I'm still worried after all the hype we'll end up with something terribly gimmicky too. Like EyeToy + DS + bongos or something.

I'd be quite happy with a nice big Hyrule sandbox to play about in.
Roll on OOT v 2!

Seconded.
To stand a chance next generation Nintendo need to make a huge impression at E3 and a couple of videos on how the Revolution will work won't cut it. Reggie is a great asset and needs to be whored out at every opportunity.
Nintendo need the Revolution to be as technically advanced as the PS3, as well as having the "new gameplay" feature.

128 should be released on both GC and be a launch title for Revolution just to show the capabilities of the console compared to the Gamecube.
Hmmm, we'll have to wait and see.
Almost everything Nintendo does now is based on stupid gimmicks.
If IGN agree, then I must disagree. I'm sorry, but it has to be the case.
I wouldn't really care if new Zelda was just OOT V2.
And Wink, that just would never, ever happen.
Shush.

It's not impossible, think, they're still releasing games for teh PS1, and in teh first years of the PS2, they released games (they being EA) for both the PS1 and PS2.
It would be a silly move though, unless the Revolution version is better.
