The Revolution's Power And Launch Date
IGN is reporting on new details for Nintendo's next-generation console. They have discussion of the Revolution's graphical power, and some reflection on when the console might launch. From the former article: "Based on the information studios have relayed to us, Revolution is truly poised to cater to an altogether different game market than either Microsoft or Sony with their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles respectively. Nintendo's machine will simply not deliver the same graphic horsepower as its competitors. Revolution is all about the controller and what it can do for gameplay experiences. When Revolution was initially unveiled, a Nintendo executive said it would be 'two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube.' The company never commented on Revolution's horsepower again and we were later told that the initial statement was incorrect. However, according to development houses, that description accurately sums up Revolution's power. "
There are no rumors about a revolution. Rumors are treason.
If they bundle the original Super Mario Brothers, and Duck Hunt onto the console at launch.. then I'm in man! I haven't shot ducks in duck hunt since I took a shovel to my old NES!
If i wanted to hear bullshit, i'd go to church.
"Will Solid Snake be perpetually looking up as well since my controller is raised 45 degrees?"
No, but it will look like he's *very* happy to see you...

I would imagine you would be able to calibrate the joystick... But that brings up another annoyance... Having to calibrate it every time you boot up, or readjust your bean bag :/
:(
Yes. It's nearly as bad as using a PC. Every time my mouse goes over the side of the pad, I have to reboot.
