Translation: It will have some funky propietary architecture, and probably controller, that will piss off everyone but Nintendo. Third parties want to cater to the largest variety of people, not the subculture wierdos that Nintendo is apparently gunning for these days.
Super Mario 128, now with Smell-O-Vision. Smells like a winner.
That Mario thing is exactly what I've been assuming. I don't think Nintendo wants to say anything concrete because they want to keep the option open for late GC release if needed. However, for the most part Mario as a Revolution launch is more likely to occur.
I hope Retro doesn't get stuck with Metroid forever. Let them spread their wings a bit with some dead projects that could be resurrected (Raven Blade if possible?) or give them something new to do. There was a thread about Turok a week ago where someone suggested that Nintendo get that license and have Retro (which has staff from the old Iguana team) take a stab at it, similiar to the way Goldeneye was aquired for Rare. I would love to see something of that nature happen.

Doesn't every console have a propriatary controller? Last time I checked my Xbox controller won't work on my PS2. Try harder next time you troll.

I kept an open mind back in 1995 with the N64, or should I say Ultra 64, or should I say PROJECT REALITY.
The rest is history.

How is the Dual Shock not propritary? It only works on Sony consoles, unless you hack it into something with one of those controller convert things, but they make those for every console.

It's the same as the PS1. They're not trying to force you to play games with a bongo or something. It's a controller that works with the widest variety of games.

Although I'm all for FAQs on big subjects like this, I don't see the point in creating one so early. At this point, it's a handful of info-less news articles and filler material. In the quest to keep the FAQ updated, a lot of rumors will end up getting mixed with the incredibly limited real info.

You don't have to play Donkey Konga or DK Jungle Beat with a conga. The controls actually map to a GameCube controller. So I believe you can shut up.
Also propritary doesn't mean the controller works with the widest vareity of games. Propritary means it's the only device to use. Dual Shocks only work on Sony systems and as such they are propritary.

I don't like that in their "FAQ" they say a bold NO to there being some sort of two screen set-up with the system. Nintendo DID say that they won't have two screens like with the DS. They were querried about this when they talked about using a computer monitor as a screen for the "Revolution" so I think they meant that they won't have a two screen set-up with a TV *and* a monitor, just that you can play on one or the other. To me, this isn't a bold NO and it still leaves the prospect for connectivity 2 screen gaming as well as possibly putting a small screen on each controller.
While connectivity never caught on, I don't think they should just abandon the idea, they should just make it more accessible by including it from the get-go. Nothing fancy, just like a real small (celphone-sized) touch screen on each controller. That would make the "Revolution" games more unique and make them harder to port to other systems. Yeah, each controller would be more expensive, but I'm thinking by then that they could do it (as well as wireless) for about $40 a pop (the same price as the standerd X-BOX controller when it launched mind you). And who wouldn't want a standerd wireless controller with a built-in touch screen VMU?

1) Dual Shock wasn't the original PlayStation Controller
2) lots of PS2 games won't work with a Dual Shock and need a Dual Shock 2

What Neutron is trying to say is (and I agree with him for once) is that the Dual Shock is a well designed controller that works with a variety of genres without a problem, and like the Nintendo 64's controller before it, the Gamecube controller is an abstract, piece of shit for the sake of being an abstract piece of shit.

Its a controller that actually works greatly for the games that are made for it in the first place, but you know the reason why that doesnt happen too many times excluding Nintendo's own efforts...i actually find Dual shock to be full of problems that could be easily resolved....
