In a recent interview with G4TV, Nintendo President, Satoru Iwata, revealed some pretty interesting bits of information about the Revolution.
Apparently, he stated that gamers wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the Revolution and other next-gen consoles such as PS3 and X-box 360 on a standard TV. Does mean the graphics powers are the same?
He went on to say, again, that non-gamers aren't interested in graphics and that the mainstream appeal is much more than how good a console can present visuals. As for gamers to whom graphics are everything, Iwata clearly mentions that this class of gamer is in need of a Revolution in which they can play games in a completely different way than ever before. Nintendo's hoping they can attract people to play games, as well as current gamers to try something new and most likely enjoy it.
While asked about developer's and publishers reactions to the Revolution controller, Iwata told reporters that most Western companies were a bit leary of the concept at first, but quickly warmed up to it after viewing demos and recieving various proposals from Nintendo.
Nintendo's been "getting in touch" with various game developers and publishers with gameplay concepts, suggested how they could change their already established franches to fit the Revolution's unique style of gaming. All third-parties responded with positive reactions to these. Now specific games have been mentioned yet, but Iwata went on with a promise that the Revolution could already have a large library of familiar game titles at its launch.
Finally, in the last bit of the interview, Iwata apoligized to reporters (and all gamers, of course) again for the delay of Twilight Princess. It's going to be released on the Gamecube next year, and won't be pushed back to the Revolution. They want a separate title on the Revolution, letting them expand the series into a new horizon.
We'll keep you updated with any information on the Revolution or Twilight Princess as it breaks, so keep your eyes on Ninformer!
