To celebrate Pokemon's 10th anniversary, Japan's Weekly Famitsu magazine interview with president of the Pokemon company, Tsunekazu Ishihara (who created the series).
During a Q & A session following a demonstration of the Unreal Engine 3 at GDC last week, Epic Games Vice President Mark Rein mentioned the difficulties in bringing the middleware engine to Nintendo's next generation console - Nintendo Revolution.
SEGA Europe Ltd. & SEGA of America, Inc. have announced that they will be providing SEGA titles as part of the Virtual Console system for Nintendo's new generation console Nintendo Revolution.
In a recent interview with Engadget, Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing, talked somewhat openly about Revolution, the DS, Nintendo as a company, and his thoughts on the competition. IGN Revolution followed up the interview by posting some new information about Revolution development kits, so we've included that as well.
IGN's hearing from studio insiders that Revolution SDKs are selling for about $2,000, "which is thousands of dollars cheaper than a PSP SDK, let alone an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 one," paving the way for riskier titles with smaller investments to appear on Nintendo's next system.
Based on a recent survey conducted by Japan's top gaming magazine Famitsu, the PlayStation 3, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution are going to be the big stories for the year 2006. The magazine gathered the opinions 113 retailers and 47 game developers on a variety of game related issues. The Online version of Famitsu, Famitsu.com, gathered the opinion of 370 regular gamers.
Nintendo will ship its next-generation games console, Revolution, in the US in time for the Thanksgiving November 2006 holiday sales period, the company's president has pledged.
