Revolution Related News Update

I figured that I'd combine a couple of new news into one post. First up:

-THQ Supports The Nintendo Revolution
"IGNcube caught up with company president Brian Farrell and quizzed him on Revolution plans. Farrell did confirm that THQ is developing "games for Revolution." Providing more details than that, Farrell indicated wide support for all the next-generation consoles including Revolution, saying, "THQ's plan is to serve gamers no matter what platform they are on." Backing that up, he also firmly stated, "We are commited to Nintendo's [Revolution]."

However, when asked about what plans Nintendo has laid out for THQ, Brian was hush-hush on the matter. But he claims that based on his discussions with the hardware giant, he feels that "Nintendo is waking up."

Finally, when confronted with the question of whether or not THQ was in possession of development hardware, Mr. Farrell declined to provide specifics due to non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). All he would say was that "We're seeing more from Nintendo now [for Revolution] than we have an any other Nintendo platform."

THQ, joins the ranks of Square Enix, Konami, Bandai, and a few other publishers that have pledged support for the Revolution, which, as a reminder, is not the finalized name."

-Next Gen Sonic Confirmed For.... Not Revolution!?
Now we all know that of any hardware manufacturer, Sega is always closest with Nintendo. We also know that the majority of Sonic fans are as well Nintendo fans. Recently, a next generation Sonic game was announced for the Xbox360 and the PS3, but no word on Revolution was said. Now they didn't say that it won't be for Revolution, so it's looking to be another Resident Evil 5 case. I'm sure when the Revolution is later shown, it will be announced for the Revolution as well.
