"Spaceworld - told you so."

When Nintendo revealed little information about Revolution I knew there would be another event, almost certainly Nintendo based, that would reveal the price, the games and the controller. Obviously Spaceworld is the event to do that.

There hasn't been a spaceworld since the Mario Sunshine/Wind Waker announcement. So the reply from a slew of forum users who will remain nameless declared "There has not been a Spaceworld in years, admit it Nintendo have screwed up". "Don't be so optimistic Dringo" and so forth.

Now both Miyamoto and Kaplin has confirmed that Spaceworld is certainly on the cards and Iwata has declared all the revolution info will be released by the end of the year.

And after hardcore reaction it seems almost essential.

I have to admit, that the new Nintendo console looks the best out of all of the rivals, and that makes a change!

You still don't get it, huh? Shame.

Not saying the DS was a bad bussiness decision, I actually think it is a fantastic one.

I'm sure Nintendo always planned the DS as actually being a console. But its early release was obviously there to keep Sony busy, and so far it is working.

Shame the system just doesn't quite press all my buttons. It appeals to me sometimes and then not others.

The DS was meant to be a side-project to keep Sony occupied whilst Nintendo consider the next Game Boy system.

It sold better than Nintendo were expecting.

Bad business decision?

Hmmm...I bet the shareholders are happy.

And finally.

It's just funny. People are telling me Nintendo have let them down because they've made bad bussiness decisions.

What are you, a Nintendo shareholder? No? Oh... Well... have the games become rubbish? What no???

So you're moaning because of bussiness decisions? Which, to be fair, do make sense... they don't always work out (especially lately) but they do make sense. Don't give me rubbish about rose tinted glasses. Nintendo with their DS has proved to us all they can do it no problem. All I'm saying is this:

"Just because Nintendo make bussiness decisions you don't agree with does not mean you should ditch them".

What happened to the whole "It's all about the games".

I give a damn. My brother gives a damn. My mate craig gives a damn. How many people went clambering over the Zelda bonus disc. It's a nice extra.

I would, if I liked online gaming and would actually find playing against 64 people online worthwhile.

No I'm not saying Nintendo's press conference was a dissapointment. But Mattribute's tagline is "RIP Nintendo :'(" and there are posts declaring that they won't get a Revolution...

Because Nintendo didn't show much at a trade show?

Can you not see how totally and utterly ridiculous this is...

Nintendo showed a little, they've promised to show more... but because they didn't show enough people are going to other systems.

What the hell???

It's a sodding trade show!!! It's not as if they released a sub-par product or anything!

360 first.

Then the others when they have exclusives that I want and are at a reasonable price.

Ah, yes, well if I see an old PS3 at a car boot sale one rainy day in the future I might just be tempted... :)

I never said I'd get them at launch. ;)
