Living in the fantasy failure of Nintendo's world it is easy to be misled.
Lack of games has meant both the Gamecube and the X-box has failed to even dent the monster of the Playstation. Pull out fantastic games all you want, there just isn't enough to please all those billions of games players.
Nintendo promise revolution, Microsoft promise variety... Sony promise to damage the profits of both its rivals even further. One of them is almost certainly correct.
There is always a get out clause for Nintendo, being such a massive games developer themselves they CAN always become a simply 2nd or 3rd party developer. Unless Microsoft can increase the amount of games they have on their system, they have no such get out clause.
Both Microsoft and Nintendo are struggling. Yep Nintendo have a lot of money and so do Microsoft. But neither wish to support a massive loss. We've discussed a combined effort of Microsoft and Nintendo which would increase game out put, fan basses and variety of system capabilties.
It won't happen.
Microsoft will continue to pump money into their dead weight and Nintendo will try and invent another "innovative" idea.
When "revolution" was announced we all looked at the Bongo's, at the DS and at the (shudder) Microphone. Nintendo will add some imagintive new way to play games and hope it'll take off. Nintendo said the DS is a clue to the future of Revolution. What two screens? a microphone built in? Touch screen? What exactly Nintendo, unless all are implemented I cannot see this "revolutionising" gaming... just confusing it.
How about GBA 2? Or GameBoy Evolution. A simple gaming device, plenty of buttons, a nice well made screen, 2 analogue sticks for the ultimate gaming on the go. With revolution graphics.
Certainly that will be possible soon. Handheld gaming just looks better and better and you know it. There is no longer any restrictions.
Especially by 2006.
The revolution of gaming could feature a nice new controller, that in fact could also be a GBE. I don't mean a GBE CAN be used. Rather a GBE has the same buttons as a Revolution Controller.
Is it not time Nintendo really revolutionised gaming with a "GOOD" idea.
Connectivity is the damn future of gaming and you know it. What Nintendo "could" do is endless. 2 versions of the game, one for the GBE and one for the Gamecube. Maybe sold together. Play one, save it to the GBE and continue the GBE version on the go.
Or how about play the game on Revolution and download the game from the disc onto the GBE's format. GBE's games are avalible via download through Revolution.
Maybe I'm going too far here. Downloading the game you are playing to play "on the go" seems daft. Why not simply plug a GBE into the tele and play it straight?
Well Revolution will be this DVD/Music/Internet hybrid. The GBE's late 2006 launch will halt the PSP's advance. And Nintendo will be looking at a system to die for.
Imagine, playing a football game on Revolution. Download the save file on the "memory card" which is specific for the game and is used as the source for the GBE. The game is already on the card but the saved data from the Revolution title can be transferred to it. Then take a bus and continue the game you were playing.
This would sell. It is essentially buy one game and play it wherever you want, on two different systems. Multiplayer avalible via one and single player the other. It would work.
But is the technology ready? Can Nintendo really produce a machine that runs revolution graphics, plays revolution sized games that is easily downloadable onto a memory card? And doesn't eat battery life to death? Well if Nintendo can make a handheld that has 2 processors and 2 screens and still have a good battery life then I don't doubt it for a second. There is no need for a laser, I'm not talking CD's... I don't want some MP3 player hybrid...
And IPODS are lasting longer and longer as batteries become better and better.
Christmas 2006 for the Revolution and the Evolution could be the idea time for a real gaming "revolution". Whether it'll take off or not is a different matter entirely.

I used to have a vendetta with Turbonutter... this rivalry seemed harsh but we became friends and played on the idea of a "rivalry" by having argument competitons.
Twas funny.
Not good to make enemies. Tis just a game forum.

No Merm, you stop being a stupid anushole.
You don't know what happened between me and Azul.
And yet you think you know.
Are you secretly bumming him or something?
For information?
I laugh at your persistance.

I agree with this bit, battery life is a serious issue and the PSP seems to suffer. But the PSP does run discs and I'm not saying that the GBE should do that. Perhaps a new type of card based system like the one they're using in DS but obviously with a much much wider capacity.
Also the DS's battery life is alright and Nintendo are running two processors with this one, both screens are back lit as well!
The format is a big issue on how long the battery life lasts... also batteries are also improving at a rapid rate (I-pod is an example) so a built in battery by 2006 that lasts a good 10 hours should easily be possible.
We'll see.
