Revolution Horsepower Revealed
Revo writes "IGN.com unveiled leaked specs for Nintendo's upcoming Revolution console today. The system really is about twice as powerful as a GameCube and a far cry from the Xbox 360 and PS3. Of course, the focus is on the innovative controller and the affordable price."
"However, few would disagree with the assertion that Resident Evil 4 - a title developed from the ground-up for Nintendo's system -- was one of the prettiest games of the generation."
Yeah... Because "pretty" is the first word that comes to any one's mind when they hear "Resident Evil."

The company has ALWAYS been about revolutionizing controllers - from the NES, to SNES up through the 64 & Gamecube.
I'll give you NES, Super NES, and N64, but not GameCube. The GameCube controller is just the Dual Shock with no L1, L3, R3, or Select buttons, and the D-pad and left stick are switched, and the L2 and R2 are analog like on the Dreamcast controller and Dual Shock 2.
but how many libraries of congress can it store on a football field?
Unpretentious Sydney reviews by unqualified Sydney reviewers
I am of course referring to the completely objective discreet units of fun, per billion.
I know a guy who was roommates with one of the head girlfriends of the 2nd assistant director of ALL OF NINTENDO and they said its a lot. Like, at least ... 9Gf. And it is scientifically proven that the original Xbox only rated a 2.3 Gf (and only with Halo), so this is, like, way better.
Plus, the console itself sort of reminds me of those power crystals that Superman used to control his arctic fortress of solitude, and that's about all the reason I really need to buy one. If I'm being perfectly honest with myself.
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
IGN works with Nintendo on some of the aspects of their online service. Someone at that company knows the truth.
IGN works with Nintendo on some of the aspects of the DS online service. As you may recall, the online infrastructure of N's consoles closely resembles two cans connected by a string.
It will eventually get there, but plan on waiting a few years for it to drop that much. Me, I plan on buying one on launch day. It will be the first time I'm making that type of purchase.
And dammit, 23 isn't old. That's my age and I'm not old!
As Lisa Simpson would say, I know what those words mean, but that headline makes no sense.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on lunch.
Executive summary: "I like the Xbox. I like the Xbox 360. These arbitrary comparisons of apples and oranges I pulled out of my ass prove the Revolution will suck. Also I have a big penis."
This is a sig. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
I can live without graphics on consoles.

You've emerged from a giant green pipe. A large castle lies in the distance. Giant blocks with question marks painted on them float mystically in mid-air. A large turtle with a green shell is approaching you from left. From your right, what appears to be a giant mushroom with eyes and legs approaches.

I think I understand now why Nintendo called it Revolution. They have predicted a new videogame crash due next year, and then the Revolution will come and save it all! Those clever bastards!
yea, that's what all guys with a low clockspeeds say.
Screw this, I'm loading up tintin++.
I'm sorry, what were you saying? I'm afraid I couldn't hear you over Matt Casamassina's incessant whining about the lack of HDTV support in the Revolution, lack of voice acting in Zelda, and lack of "production values" in everything in the world that isn't a Halo game.

So its impossible to operate this controller when you are drunk? Then its no-buy for me :)
You don't know what you don't know.
