Ah, Thanksgiving. The American holiday where the Mayflower Pilgrims celebrated the harvest after their first winter in the new world. Then killed all the natives.

These days we (over)eat turkey and watch (American) football, or in my case, play lots of (Nintendo) video games.

A holiday release for the Revolution is about what I expected, so I guess my "later half of 2006" prediction (wherever I got it from) was right. I'm awesome!

And to think, I was about to come in here and apologize for getting my facts wrong.

NEWS FLASH Developers have (apparently) been told to expect a release date around Thanksgiving 2006.

In other news, developers have been saying that the Revolution isn't as souped up as the PS3 or X-Box 360... clocking in at around three times the graphics processing power of the Gamecube... other developers have said it's like a souped up X-Box (although this is incredibly confusing, as the X-Box is not even twice the power of Gamecube).

But none of them seem to mind. They are too excited and worked up over the controller. Many developers have already said they will support the system, and many third parties are signing up for support.

Come May we will know if all of this is speculation or fact.

^you beet me to it
I dont it being only a little better then the X-Box, As long as theres some fun games(SSB3) Im fine.

Was going to make a "change" American Kirby, but I'm not that skilled at Fireworks.

When you consider how fantastic RE4 looked using GCN hardware I don't see whats going to be so bad about only being 2 or 3 times more powerful than that. Sure, it wont be as good as the 360 or PS3 but that will still look damn good.

But if Nintendo are reallly doing this to lower production costs (as I've heard before) we need to see something from it, whether its a reduction in price of games or more games from smaller third parties.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Shoutbox

nocturnal YL: That's still quite early. The combat should feel better once you fill up all skill slots. Oct 18, 2024 21:42:54 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I took a look at my past Switch games and found that more than 40% of the games I played contain some kind of fishing. Oct 21, 2024 11:36:02 GMT -5 *

nocturnal YL: A bit late, but I started Aiyoku no Eustia. I have nothing to say about the story yet because the demo lasted 6 hours and I haven't got past that. There's no save data transfer feature, fast-forwarding takes a while, and I stopped to read at some points. Nov 3, 2024 6:47:31 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It has the best file management feature I've seen. 60 normal save slots, 6 autosaves, and 12 more slots automatically saved at decision points. And the save data can be moved, deleted and given comments. It's the most flexible I've seen on console. Nov 3, 2024 6:50:03 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I think I've gotten a better handle on the combat in Ys X, but I still don't think it feels quite as good as in Ys VIII and IX. Nov 9, 2024 15:18:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Interesting; that's the opposite of what I think. Which part are you in now, by the way? Nov 10, 2024 5:44:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: I'm just at the beginning of chapter 7. I've seen very divided opinions on the combat among Ys fans. I don't dislike it, but maybe I'm just used to Ys games having faster combat. Nov 10, 2024 8:38:57 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia is quite something. I thought I've somewhat hardened myself having gone through dark stories like Fire Emblem (Jugdral, Hoshido/Nohr, Fódlan) and Surge Concerto, but I'm still stunned. (Still doesn't beat real life, though.) Nov 10, 2024 15:17:23 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Aiyoku no Eustia has branched endings, and I've reached two. I'm surprised to see three familiar names in the credits: Ceui (OP vocal in Atelier Lydie & Suelle), Yoshino Nanjo (voice of Kiria in TMS♯FE), Yuu Asakawa (Megurine Luka's voice provider). Nov 14, 2024 14:42:30 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: It'll be quite a while until I'm done with this game. Each individual arc takes at least 6 hours, and there are extra stories. I recall reading somewhere that this game takes 60 hours to finish. Nov 14, 2024 15:02:04 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Quick update: I'm starting chapter 9 in Ys X. Overall, I've been enjoying the game quite a bit. Nov 15, 2024 9:12:40 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Ah, almost there! Nov 15, 2024 9:33:20 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I will go offline for a few days. My family is travelling to South Korea. I should be back around next Friday (22 Nov). Nov 16, 2024 4:32:51 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I haven't been to Korea for more than two decades, so I look forward to it. Nov 16, 2024 4:36:43 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Have a nice trip! Nov 16, 2024 8:41:09 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Just finished Ys X. I'll write up my thoughts when I get a chance. Nov 21, 2024 15:49:57 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Looking back over my previous Ys rankings, it's funny how most of the numbered entries are ranked in descending order: VI > Seven > VIII > IX. So, does Ys X buck the trend?? 🤔 Nov 21, 2024 15:55:24 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: Looking forward to your thoughts! Nov 22, 2024 8:33:42 GMT -5

nocturnal YL: I'm back home! It's been a pretty fun trip. Being able to see falling leaves on a mountain path full of trees in person made the trip worth taking. Nov 22, 2024 8:34:56 GMT -5

Nester the Lark: Welcome back! Nov 22, 2024 9:11:24 GMT -5
