Revolution Finally Joins IGN


It's about time! Last night, IGN finally made a channel of their website devoted to the Nintendo Revolution. As of now, you can't find the Revolution link at the top of their pages, but you can find it in the GameCube section, or by going to revolution.ign.com. There is also a lot of new information that has been spread out by many developers. Currently, many developers are working with GameCube based dev-kits so they can atleast get used to the controller, but it's told that when the Revolution is finished, it's graphic capabilities may only be like a souped-up Xbox. Now perhaps in the interview, the developer was talking fast and reffered to "Xbox" as being Xbox 360 like people have said in the past, or it could mean the old Xbox, which it probably does. Then again, nothing is complete yet, and we don't truly know the power. Even if the Revolution isn't as powerful as the 360 (I still think it will though), and is atleast better than this Xbox, means it's graphics will be better than all current-gen systems, but think of it this way. You may not have top-notch graphics, but you'll have a new "revolutionary" way of control, you'll be able to play NES, SNES, N64, and possibly more through the download service. You have premium online access all for free, with wifi out of the box, you have a cheap system that will save your wallet, and you have the classic franchises like Mario and Zelda. In other news, it seems that developers were told to try and have their games ready by Thanksgiving week 2006. So if the Revolution was to launch then, means we have just under a year to wait until we finally see the Revolution. I personally wish that it would launch earlier, perhaps in June, or the old rumors of March. Atleast since Twilight Princess is now aiming to be the best zelda ever, that should hold us off for some time. So for all of you wondering if you should grab a 360, or not so you can wait for a revolution, you might wanna go grab that 360 and get the jump start on the next generation.
