Shiggy Interview
Shigeru Miyamoto recently sat down with Edge magazine to discuss Nintendo’s handheld and console strategies. Here is the excerpt that you will find in the magazine.
“We want each household to always have a Revolution console connected to their TV. If someone comes into your house and there isn’t a Revolution sitting next to the TV, we want them to argue, and say, “Oh! Why don’t you have Revolution?” We want a brand new relationship between people and their TVs through the Revolution.
It feels as though in order to make one great game they’re always adding to the cost, adding to the number of developers needed… How can the market be right if someone has a really great idea that could expand the industry, but the pressures that are there mean people are only [interested] in making something really huge and big and gigantic?
What Nintendo is trying to do is introduce a completely new platform which means we can give small teams with unique ideas the opportunity to make great games. And those kind of great games have the potential to become the most successful software in the world
Some bold remarks from Nintendo. I know that I will be lining up for my Revolution.

Nights into….Revolution!
The following story shall be considered as rumor, but a very exciting rumor at that. Fans of the Sega Saturn game NiGHTS into Dreams, has been rumored in the recent edition of Japanese magazine Famitsu, to be coming to Nintendo’s 5th console Revolution. According to Vooks, the innovative Saturn classic could very well be in development for Nintendo’s upcoming home console.
The series revolved around two children who would enter the world of dreams (Nightopia), where all human dreams take place. As usual an evil beast known as Wizeman is set to take over the dreamland. By teaming up with NiGHTS, the children attempt to stop the evil Wizeman in his path.
Originally on Sega Saturn, the title was an innovative and unique look at platforming with natural and fluid movement, and a quirky design. If you ask me, a perfect fit for a Nintendo console. Would you guys like to see this game on Revolution?

New Flight Game Coming to Revolution
Nintendojo reports “E3 has released a grouping of “first looks” at wares to be shown at the upcoming trade show. Among these is a flight simulator game in development by Hudson for Nintendo Revolution. “Using the Revolution’s ‘Gesture System’ built into their innovative controller, Hudson’s new ‘Flight Game’ allows total plane control as players pilot their planes through various acrobatic flight maneuvers ranging from sky artistry to bomb drops.” More on this and other news as we approach E3″.
Flight games are a rarity on console systems. Typically this genre has been primarily on a PC format. This is just another great example that the Nintendo Revolution will expand the market when it comes to diversifying their game selection. Bring it on Nintendo. We cannot wait to see what you have in store in the next couple of weeks.
