No Revolution at E3 (time for a throat slitting...a rant)

If you like old games, play old games. New "old" games should not be made. New games should be made. A new Zelda will not be like the 1986 Zelda.

I'm sorry man... I've heard you say some crazy stuff, but I believe you're serious on this one. .

While the market should never be overrun with new games made to play like their oldschool counterparts, there should be room for one to pop up now and then...

Contra: Shattered Soldier, Gradius V... 2 good examples of how a game can still follow the simple oldschool gameplay with a nice facelift and still be a good, new experience... But they're really the only two I can think of that have been released recently... And they were both made by Konami

Anywho, Revolution not at E3... I think anyway you slice it, it's not positive for Nintendo or their anxious fans... Although I don't think it necesarily dooms Nintendo and their new console...

I think next-gen will go much like this one, but with Microsoft possibly taking quite a bit more of Sony's marketshare (in the US at least)... And Nintendo back in third with another console that will probably still be more successul than Xbox2 in Japan, and fans will eat up and enjoy...
