GS: What can we expect from Nintendo at E3?

RF: At E3 we will certainly share more information about Revolution. Having said that, Revolution won't have a big presence at the booth itself. It'll be touched on in our press briefing, I'll talk about it with our retailers, we may show some things in the back room so to speak. But on the show floor it really is all about Game Boy Advance and showcasing the great product we have for that system. It's gonna be about DS and the new games we're launching for the August-through-holiday time period, and showcasing the great product for GameCube, especially the Legend of Zelda game.

but on the other hand

We have a lot more footage to show, (zelda) will be playable at E3, and it's a fantastic game. I've the opportunity to play some of it and it's phenomenal. It's deep, it's rich--it has all of those elements that you love in a Zelda game and graphically it looks beautiful.

and now REggie is Delirous

GS: What's the lasting impression you want people to walk away with after they leave your booth at E3?

RF: We want them to leave feeling that "Wow, Zelda is going to be as huge hit and I want it now. And I'm going to go to my local retailer and put a deposit for the super premium edition of the game," which we'll make available. We want the fans to walk away saying, "Wow, look at all this great GBA product and I'm going to be a two-handheld consumer, having both my old-time GBA as well as my brand new DS." I want the consumer walking away just totally blown away with all the great product coming out for DS, especially Mario Kart, Metroid Prime Hunters, and Animal Crossing. So, in total, I want our fan walking away saying, "Yes, I need to be a three-system household, SP, DS, and GCN."

I'll kill Nintendo if that is true!

Typical Nintendo. Going out of their way to screw things up for themselves in the future.

Why would someone need SP if they have DS?

Teuthida · 03-12-2005, 01:41 PM

^GB and GBC games. Nintendo knows that's important enough to buy two new handhelds.

i was really looking foward to seeing sumthing new from Nintendo. I dunno wut they think they're doing.

Jonbo298 · 03-12-2005, 01:45 PM

They already said Revolution will be shown at E3, just most likely not on the floor to play with

MuGen · 03-12-2005, 01:47 PM

exactly..... another way to lose 3rd party support.......... xbox ii and ps3 will be playable and so the third party developers will start to sign and jump on the bandwagon.

STupid Nintendo and their lack of doing things right.

Nintendo will miss out big time in the next generation if they don't showcase the Revolution.

Nintendo is just too secretive about everything they do, you can still be public about what you are doing without giving away too much.
