Here’s a little incite on how the upcoming Nintendo Revolution works. The article includes an overview of the console itself as-well as it’s unique and revolutionary gaming controller. This is a pretty good high level view of what the control is supposed to do.
I was surprised by the comparison in power to the Xbox 360. Everyone is talking about how Nintendo isn’t a part of the power war that Sony and Microsoft are taking part in, but it sounds like Revolution might not be as far off the mark as many people think. I’ve read that PS3 and 360 aren’t really going to live up to their full potential anyway. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re rushing the product to make it available sooner. I heard today that they’re scaling back the multiplayer in Perfect Dark Zero so it can be ready for 360’s launch in November. Not necessarily a smart move.
The thing I found most interesting was the comparison between the known Revolution specs and the GameCube. I’ve never had a problem with the Cube’s performance, but Revolution will simply blow it away. And a dedicated physics processor? That would only make sense with the new style of gameplay.
nice blog and i agree that the gamecube far outshined it’s down played specs. nintendo has always been modest about it’s system specs and with the advent of the gamecube it can be said it easily surpassed the PS2 and was on par with xbox as far as performance and graphical prowess(just play a bit of Resident Evil 4). i’m don’t believe for a moment that the Revolution will be the wimpy toy people are making it out to be. Sony milked it’s system for all it was worth yes, but it’s an older system and it’s time for the next gen as far as they are concerned. But with microsoft they never lived up to their hype. i didn’t see one game on that system that blew me away. so i expect Revolution to do very well in the “power” department but it’s real abilities is in innovation and gameplay. stop by my blog at marioateamushroom.blogspot.com . . . i try to always have something interesting to say . . . even in this drought of Revolution news.
