The Most Recently questions are first.

Hi Tortus,

thanks a lot for answering my questions. I have some more:

1. Why do you know such details about the console and about the games although

you say that you are no insider?

2. You said: "You will know about more than 150 titles in the days of this fiscal year 2006."

a) Have the developers no problem with the fact that they still haven't got the final

revolution development kits? It takes years to make a good game, so I am a bit afraid

because most of the developers started developing revolution games very late, don't they?

b) How many of this 150 titles will be released until the end of this fiscal year?

3. Will the Revolution release before Playstation 3?

4. Will we see Super Mario 128 on E3?
!

5. a)Why does every blogger write NES in bold letters? Has the NES anything to do with the revolution?

b) Is that the reason the name of your blog is famicomrevolution?

6. Will the revolution have a good 3rd party support?

7. Will the revolution support chat over the headset during the game?

8. You said: "The Revo's Wi-Fi Connection will be better than XBox 360 Live."

How could this be if there is no lounge to meet the people? I think it is not so

good to use a seperate code for every game!

9. Do you thin it is expedient to change the name of the console?

"Nintendo Revolution" is already in the minds of the people.

10. Will revolution games be cheaper than gamecube games?

11. What about the classical controller for the revolution, does it really look like

the wavebird controller for gamecube? Why don't they show it?

12. Is it correct that the majority of the people won't play the revolut! ion games on a TV?

1.- I talked about Revolution Search. I know very well where to search and HOW. I have a friend that helps me with this. Also, I have "psychic" powers.

2.-
a) Well, the developers of PS3 hadn't the final developer kits of PS3. And they will launch their titles (that are more complexe to develop) in November. So, don't afraid, they have what they need. You will see more with answer to question 6.
b) I'm not sure. I can't give you any number about this. But I think around 30 or 40 new games... and a lot of old games.

3.- I think yes. Nintendo can't wait more. And they can take advantage.

4.- When the E3 approaches, I can be more able to answer to this question. I think that we will see something of.

5.- a) & b) Yeah dude. The Famicom is involved in a lot of ways on Revolution. What you did saw at Matt's blog? a bomb... and not Iwata... why Yamauchi? See the Revo Controller... It's a NES controller. And the name of the conference of tomorrow... Disrupting Development. The Famicom - NES was the most disrupment console in the videogame history.
And now, which is the successor of Famicom? the Super Famicom? not, it's only a Famicom upgraded, a Super Famicom. The N64? the NGC? not and not. So... yes... this is I was talked about Famicom Revolution... the successor of Famicom. The New NES.

6.- Yeah... but more important, it will have a great 2nd Party support. And Nintendo wants all of them with him... as the Famicom era. Nintendo will have a lot of warriors with him.

7.- Yeah... and out of game too.

8.- I think it's more secure. I talked about Revo's Game Cards. So, imagine that a friend wants to invite you to the games that he want. He can unveil him code friends if you have one of them. I'm not usre, but it's possible. I think the service of Revo's Wi-Fi Connection will be better than XBox's Live, as the DS's Wi-Fi Connection is a great success becuase of its cualities.

9.- Of how many people? 10 million, may be? more? I don't think that the Revolution is a great name for all the people that the Revo is going to: the Blue Ocean. But, it will be Nintendo's decision... and this will be the correct.

10.- Some of them.

11.- I don't know anything about this controller. Sorry dude.

12.- I don't think so. As I said before, the Environmet of the Revolution will be the TV... I think that a lot of people will play the Revolution together around a TV.

13.- I'm overworked. I hope yes... a little of it.

Greetings.




The First Questions:

Hi Tortus,

thanks for your interesting news. Although they are very imprecise I like reading them!

I have some more questions:

1. Everybody says that you can play revolution-games with your DS Lite.

But what about the old DS? Why should he not be compatible with Revolution?

2. How many first party titles will we probably see at launch?

3. Do you know anything about "Mario 128"?

4. Could you write somehting about the Wi-Fi-/online-aspect of Revolution or don't

you know anything about this?

5. Will Iwata unveil one of the secrets of Revolution at GDC?

6. Is NEAR a peripherial for Revolution?

7. Did Nintendo change something at the remote controller since Tokyo Game Show?

If yes, have th! ese changes anything to do with the 3rd revolutionary secret?

Greetings,

Sebastian

I want to think that you said imprecise because you think I'm talking too much but saying a few things, or I say, I'm cantifleando. Well, you have to read... remember what is my style. How I began, well, I know that may be you don't know if you've not read me on Atomix Forums. I have to explain: my messages are always the Tortus Traces. It's my style, and I like it.

1.- Well, the DS Lite has a Revolution-Design. And, with the time, the Ds Lite will be the standard, you can see it with the GBA classic and the others GBA. But, there will be no problem with your old DS, it will be an interphase, too.

2.- See it:
-Super Smash Bros Revolution
-Metroid Prime 3:
-Nintendo Baseball
-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
-New Miyamoto's IP (unknown)
-N-Space FPS 1 (untitled)
-Camelot RPG (untitled)
I have to say that may be few games that are not planned for launch or are Top Secret can appear latter on the launch. And I'm not sure if the games of n-Space and Camelot will appear on the launch.

3.- Uh... This Mario Game will aproach the Revo Controller. Miyamoto planned the Revmote for this game... you can see, if you want to fly, you have to elevate your controller, and you will control Mario as if he is a plane. Also, you will jump with a little movement of your hand. when you press A you will punch, and when you press A and move the controller to the screen, you will fire. To be honest, this is a real Top Secret Game. But, you can have a sure thing: the interaction with the controller will be more amazing than Super Mario 64. And this will be as easy as a NES game... well, it have their differences. It will be very intuitive.

4.- I know! You have a Revo in your house. And your neighbor has a Revolution too. You can play with him wireless, and not using an Online connection. A lot of Revos can be connected without an online connection. How many is a lot? 4? jaja, not. 8? ja, not. 16? not, but may be, after all you have 4 controllers for each revo. How many do you need? You want an MMORPG, uh? what about a MMLRPG? It can be amazing, and free...
And now, what about you're playing an online Game with your Revo. And you play with a friend that has a DS. It's possible.
How can you play online with other guys? well, it will be similar to the DS's Wi-Fi Connection. You have Friend Codes with the DS. With the Revo, the Friend Code will be a key, not only to play, else, to get the "Gamer's Card" of your friend. But, you can play with unknown guys. But, sure you will have a lot of protection. After all, the NWFC is about Security. You can chat... you can use your DS for chat, its Touch Screen. You can see your friends and talk with 'em. The Revo's Wi-Fi Connection will be better than XBox 360 Live.
And, I have to mention this. You go to Sanborns or a Mc. Donalds or a library or a airport, or something so. You can play online... yes, with your Revo.

5.- I give you a 80% of yes. We have to wait PS3, after all.

6.- It was a Project. I said in the N5_Dev's blog that with the 3D stereoscopic the graphics can't be more near. But not, with the Augmented Reality the Graphics are the nearest possible, you can "touch" 'em. I don't think the Revo will use Augmented Reality. Perhaps later.
Is it a peripheral? well, as i said in my last post, this is more than a Peripheral, this is each form of Environmet that you can have with the Revolution. It's Nintendo Environment Applied Reality.

7.- I think this question is about what Mr. Inc said. Well, I have my doubts about Mr. Inc... about his fakeNESs. Have you sadNESs or are you in the darkNESs? A guy is telling me about the possibility of it. I don't know, an d I'm not wanting to be involucrated with fakers.
But Nintendo said that the Revmote that they showed at TGS was a prototype. To be honest, I don't know what Nintendo has changed. But... you sayd 3rd Revolutionay Secret... what if you take 3rd and change the letters...?

--Tortus

UPDATE: What name the revolution will take? Which Secret will be unveiled soon? We have to wait until Sony's conference tomorrow. And after, what we will see. But, hey. This is a Tortus Day, you'll be amazed again... I think I will have to change the URL and Name of my blog...
