Heya fellas,

Latest update. Back from GDC. I'll be writing Geist impressions in a bit. First, though, I gotta transcribe our interview with Reggie. (Incidentally, we'll be posting the video interview later tonight or early tomorrow, but for now you'll have to settle for text.)

Reggie has a lot of cool things to say. For instance, he confirms that Mario 128 will be shown for the first time at E3 2005. It will be on video.

He also talks Revolution quite a bit. I'll have the text up in a bit, but just wanted to give you the heads up that Mario 128 is alive, kicking, and ready to be unveiled.

PS. He wouldn't confirm for what system, but I'm getting the impression now that it's for Revolution.

Matt

IGNcube: Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us today, Reggie. Our first question is actually one that quite a few readers want to know, which is, what do you like more: kicking ass or taking names


Reggie Fils-Aime: I definitely enjoy kicking ass more than taking names. I think the team at Nintendo would agree.
:lol:

PRICELESS

IGNcube: Nintendo previously stated that Mario 128 could be a GameCube title, and then it suggested that it might instead be for Revolution. Is Mario 128 for GameCube or Revolution?

Reggie: We're going to answer that question at E3. You know, we at Nintendo are probably waffling back and forth on what's the best thing to do. Legend of Zelda is going to be on GameCube. We're going to launch that this holiday. And there's more to come on what happens with Mario 128.
Eh. They never give straight answers. Hell of a lot better than talking to Perrin Kaplan though.

IGNcube: Finally, what is Pokemon XD?

Reggie: Pokemon XD is a brand new Pokemon game for GameCube. It's a true RPG Pokemon. It's isn't a sequel to Collosseum. It's a brand new build. A brand new game that really plays off the RPG aspects. So think of it this way. If you loved Ruby and Sapphire, you're going to love Pokemon XD for GameCube.
That's what I'm talking about.

Reggie confirms wireless capability of some sort for the Revolution. Sounds like the beginnings of an online strategy, or "no line" as Reggie puts it. Perhaps this is the crux of the Revolution - a wireless online network?

I love how Reggie says Lengend of Zelda will be released this holiday, as if Christmas is only a couple weeks away, what a jerk!

I'd like to have another Mario Gamecube game.

But Pokémon XD should keep me content!

great news for all... i just dont want Zelda to be less than what it deserves to sell because It'll be battling Xbox 2 (which is probably what Nintendo wants to do.. release at same time as Xbox 2)

Reggie: As I said during the E3 briefing last year, for DS it's not about online, but "no line," it's about wireless interactive play. And we're committed to wireless interactive play for DS. Mr. Iwata will have some information about that in his keynote speech. In terms of GameCube, I think in fairness we at Nintendo haven't done a great job of providing the Internet capability tools to our developers to create games for GameCube. We need to address that for all of our future systems and we're doing that. In terms of Revolution and its wireless capability, stay tuned -- more to come. We are absolutely committed to the sense of community and the worldwide sense of playing games against each other. We're going to be delivering that on every future system to the best of our ability.
THAT"S WHAT I"M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!

We're not going to be late to the marketplace. We're going to be on time with our competition, which we've pegged as Sony.
microsoft = no competition :lol:

I like how Reggie will admit the faults Nintendo has made and how they are gonna correct them next gen. Gamecube was somewhat newground for Nintendo because it was the first optical disk based console, and was the first time you think about online stuff but that didnt get off the ground.

I think next gen Ninty is gonna try and be more competition'y. Hopefully their faults turn into their greatest strengths :)

But as for Mario 128, launch title for Revolution. Show off what the system is capable of and make a fun and enjoyable Mario that can be embraced by more.

But after the euphoria dies down, there's usually very little noise made by the Nintendo camp. Discuss. And lastly, how long do you plan to support the GameCube from a first-party standpoint?

RFA: This will be my second E3, and I've certainly walked away with some learnings as to what we do well and what we don't do so well. And you're absolutely accurate. We typically have a great show. What I've tried to communicate is that is one point in a long process that we need to get better at. And so again what I think you'll see following this year's E3 is much more communication, much more sharing of assets and other things to keep people pumped for what's coming down the pipe. So I'll look for feedback from you guys come about August if we've been able to deliver on that.
About time!!!!! Geez ........let's hope Reg and his team suceed at this

Only thing that disappointed me in the interview fingersman posted was

Quote:
1UP: Any clue as to how big Revolution's presence will be at E3?

RFA: Revolution will have a major presence in our presentations, but it will not be accessible on the show floor. It's too early. But there might be some key, selected folks who will have an opportunity to see what we've got going on. I suspect you folks will have some representation. But what we will be doing at E3 this year is sharing our vision for Revolution.
:(

Well he really didnt say that it wouldnt entirely be unplayable, just to the show room floor.

Jonbo298 03-10-2005 10:21 AM
Re: Mario 128 likely for Revolution
 
Yeah, I know what he meant by that. Not really 'ready enough' for the showroom floor but behind closed doors show it off to a few select people.

My guess is that they are still trying to finalize the hardware and wont have enough time to make up some tech demo's for everyone to try or a level of a game to come down the road. Hopefully not having it not be accessible to everyone on the floor wont give too much of an advantage to Sony and MS considering its all but guaranteed they will be playable on the floor.

Re: Mario 128 likely for Revolution
 
Hm..... "sharing our vision for Revolution" doesn't sound that good either. This means that they could just say "ok launch next year, with online this time, isn't it great?". :(

We want to see the 'revolutionary' technology!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

Re: Mario 128 likely for Revolution
 
This guy Reggie is real..... He realizes what Nintendo has done wrong and now he is trying to fix it. My favorite part of this interview is that he lays no mention to Microsoft being competition...

And to all the Microsoft fans..... we ALL know the Xbox2 will be a mechanical work of art, but I personally found it funny.

But it's kind of obvious with all the hype that Nintendo would be looking to contend with Sony first and Microsoft second.

Re: Mario 128 likely for Revolution
 
Revolution won't be accessible on the floor? Boo.

It's good to hear Reggie's still kicking. Ass, that is. I wonder if this year's schpiel is going to be as great as last year's.
