WWE Smackdown vs Raw Wii?

Respectable French website Jeux-France have received a hot rumor that 3rd party developer THQ is developing a version of popular WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2007 for the Nintendo Wii. With the growing popularity of wrestling games in general and the buzz surrounding Wii, this may not be too far off.

Keep it here and stay tuned for updates. We will be following this story very closely due to the fact that I am huge wrestling fan. Game ON!

No Wi-fi For You! (Until 2007)

The recent ramblings over Nintendo’s innovative Wii is that the system will not have 3rd party online support until 2007. The good people over at 1up ran an interesting article on the subject. They have stated that Tony Hawk was supposed to support Nintendo Wi-Fi and is a 3rd party title from Activision. Apparently that is not the case anymore. The article brings up these great points:

This decision raises some interesting questions about just how heavyhanded an approach the big N might be considering in regards to the Wii’s much-anticipated “Always On” Internet connectivity features. Apparently 1st and 2nd party games (like the Virtual Console downloads) are still OK under Nintendo’s watchful eye.

My Thoughts:
I personally think that this is a minor mistake by Nintendo. Yes we are getting online 3rd party next year, but it should be right off the bat. If they are going to be a true player in the next-gen war, you need online.

With the run-away success of Nintendo DS’ online connectivity, I am surprised by Nintendo’s decision. We all know that Nintendo marches to the beat of their own drum, but I feel that this is a mistake. 2007 better be good and I hope that this doesn’t scare some 3rd parties away from this amazing system. We will keep you posted.

New Poll up and Running

Just letting you guys know that we have a brand new poll up and running on the site. This one is a little more personal and will help me gain a little more insight on Gameonrevolution.com. I will be taking this one down mid-week so please take the 2 minutes and vote. I will be lookin closely on the results and look forward to seeing them.

Last poll results seem like everyone is going to buy either 1-2 titles for the Wii or 4-5. Me personally, I will be purchasing around 6-8 titles for the system (baring my financial situation). If anyone has any ideas as to what we should poll next, leave the question in the comment section. As always, a true thank you for stopping by and checking us out. Keep it here and enjoy your weekend! Game ON!

The game is looking at least marginally better than the Gamecube version, but still will be a blast to play. If you are using Safari, you may have trouble watching the video. Try using Firefox to get the “full effect” of the site.
