Revolution In North America By Thanksgiving

Gamespot reports that the Nintendo Revolution will be in stores by Thanksgiving. From the article: "In an interview featured in today's edition of Japanese newspaper Sankei Shinbun, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated, 'We can't disclose the Revolution's release period yet, but we have no plans to miss out on the year-end sales battle. As for North America, we need to release it by Thanksgiving, or otherwise we won't receive support from the retail industry. So the Revolution will be released prior to that period.'" Update: 01/18 19:15 GMT by Z : There's also word that there will be an exclusive Resident Evil title for the console, utilizing the unique control system.

    I was starting to get excited there.

    That's actually one of their controller adaptors. We've already seen a motion-sensitive one for sword swinging in Zelda, and an aerodynamic one for flight in Mario. But I actually work for Nintendo, and they're also building a self-destruct module. If you go online to gripe about the system or even question its capabilities in your mind, the box immediately explodes without warning, taking any infidels with it.

    I bet the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes...

    I swear, this is the exact reason why I don't pay for a subscription. For a 'professional' site like Slashdot (paid salaries, subscriptions, etc..), it seems to be run by 14 year olds. Heavy grammatical and typing mistakes, dual(triple, quadruple, etc..) posts. C'mon guys, things are getting worse instead of getting better.

    Truthfully, this is the exact reason why I don't pay for a subscription. For a purportedly professional website that pays salaries and accepts subscriptions, Slashdot seems to be run by 14-year-old children. It contains numerous grammatical and typing mistakes, and posts that are duplicated ad infinitum. Gentlemen, I implore you to elevate your standards, as your stories are getting worse instead of getting better.

    Free of charge, whiner.

    One as a flashlight and the other as a handgun?

    And then they could port Doom 3, and you could do the "duct tape" hack with real duct tape!
