It's called the Revolution, but we don't know what is so revolutionary about it! It's simple enough

Woo indeed.

They haven't made games for it yet.
So erm, oh well?

I can't explain what I need to say in words, but it's far more than enough for me.

I don't even know what it is you want to see.
A clip of a Mario game which we know will probably look like anyway - i.e bright clours and jumping up and down on stuff?
We've got a Zelda game (and the first revolution games probably won't look all that much better than the last GC games)
Metroid Prime 3 will look like Metroid Prime 2

I can't understand what it is you want.

The exact problem that we have at the moment with Gamecube, munn, is the distinct lack of ANY games. Nintendo saying that they want LESS games on their console is almost tear inducing.

Come on! How can you possbly be happy that Nintendo are saying they want to stop 3rd parties making games for their consoles. They're saying basically that they only want a couple of games from each genre. I don't understand how you could put a positive spin on that. More variety of games and more games available = more customers = more games = more customers etc etc.

Errr, how many good games are there actually available to buy on the revolution compared to crap games anyway?

We'll get just as many good games, and a lot less crap games.

That's better, surely?

Andhe doesn't say he wants less games, he says he wants less games of the same genre, thus less games that are all the EXACT same.

Weren't you moaning because that's what they weren't doing?

Maybe that's just Nintendo saying they won't do any more Mario Party's. I hope so.

Are you reading after the word "games"?

Because I certainly don't want 100 platformers and 3 FPS's, 200 puzzle games and 6 RPG's.

It all makes sense to me.
