Zelda On The DS, Sega on the Revolution

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fight-the-power dept.

At the Nintendo Keynote today, Company President Iwata reiterated the same 'think differently' ideas that he espoused at last year's GDC. This time he had concrete data to back up his industry disruption message, detailing the millions in sales their 'Brain Training' line of games have racked up. Along with his message, he announced a new Zelda title on the DS, and the fact that Sega Genesis games will be on the Revolution, a part of the online library of games they're offering.

    Sony ain't got shit. PERIOD. Sony is in about neck deep right now.

    Since it is looking dead certain that Nintendo will beat Sony to market, and there is at least a decent chance the Revolution is going to launch at $200, I see there being a very decent chance of many, many people making the following call "Hmmm, $200 Revolution, with Nintendo AND Sega back-catalogs! Sweet! But the PS3 has nice hardware.... hurk! $500, fuck that!! That'll be Mario and Sonic for me thanks."

    They only things Sony really has are the Residient Evil Series (almost all of which have been re-released for the 'cube, making them Revolution compatible) and Final Fantasy, and I don't see anything at all stopping Square from doing an FFVII re-release on the Revolution. Nothing at all.
