Nintendo President Outlines Bold Vision To Attract New Audiences To Video Games

Mar 10, 2005

Game Developers Conference Attendees Hear First Details about 'Revolution,' Upcoming Wi-Fi Service for Nintendo DS

          
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10, 2005 – Thousands of video game developers in a standing-room-only crowd today heard Nintendo President Satoru Iwata outline the company’s bold vision for the future. Iwata, a veteran video game designer and player himself, made several major announcements during his Game Developers Conference keynote speech, "The Heart of the Gamer," including such highlights as:

---Nintendo’s next game console, code-named "Revolution," is proceeding on schedule and will include both backward compatibility and Wi-Fi features.

---Nintendo soon will offer a free Wi-Fi connection service to Nintendo DS owners.

---Iwata demonstrated several new software titles using the innovative features of the Nintendo DS, including voice recognition, touch-screen control and wireless connectivity.

---Iwata unveiled new images from the highly anticipated Legend of Zelda adventure coming this year for Nintendo GameCube.

"This is Nintendo’s plan: make our existing game world better," Iwata said. "For us, this is a passion. This is a mission of adventure."

Revolution: Iwata announced that Revolution will feature built-in Wi-Fi protocols, which will allow users around the world to connect with one another wirelessly. Revolution’s technological heart, a processing chip developed with IBM and code-named "Broadway," and a graphics chip set from ATI code-named "Hollywood," are being designed to deliver game experiences not possible to date.

"We’re excited to be developing the graphics chip set for Revolution, which continues our longstanding relationship with Nintendo," says Dave Orton, ATI Technologies Inc.’s president and chief executive officer. "As the leading graphics provider, ATI is committed to delivering exceptional visual performance that enables consumers to interact with new and visually compelling digital worlds. ATI is proud to support Nintendo’s innovative contributions to gaming."

Nintendo DS: Iwata announced that the Wi-Fi protocol for Nintendo DS will provide users with a link to other players across the country or around the world. Once the service begins later this year, Nintendo DS users will be able to connect to the service wirelessly at Wi-Fi hot spots, whether they’re at home, in a hotel or at a coffee shop. As one of several Wi-Fi games, Nintendo’s in-house development team is creating a new Animal Crossing game for global Wi-Fi play.

On the keynote stage, Iwata also took part in a spontaneous eight-player wireless contest of Mario Kart DS to demonstrate the local area network capabilities of Nintendo DS. He added that shipments of the DS game system have now surpassed 4 million units to North America and Japan in the 16 weeks since launch. With the system set to debut in thousands of stores across Europe within hours of his address, that number will approach 6 million units shipped by the end of March.

DS software: The speech featured a live demonstration of two Nintendo DS software titles that Iwata said represented types of entertainment that go beyond the traditionally accepted definitions of "video games." One, Nintendogs, asks owners to nurture and interact with a variety of breeds of digital puppies. Puppy owners can issue voice commands, play games and train their puppies while developing real emotional bonds with them. Nintendogs is set to launch later this year in North America. The second title, Electroplankton, offers an otherworldly array of sights and sounds aimed to soothe or stimulate players with the innovative use of both the touch screen and voice interaction. "This is designed to produce harmony, not adrenaline," Iwata said.

Zelda: Iwata wowed the crowd by showing previously unreleased footage of the stunning Legend of Zelda adventure for Nintendo GameCube. The game will launch later this year, and is expected to be the most sought-after game of 2005 on any console. To see the video, http://www.zelda.com/universe/.

Nintendo will announce more information about both Revolution and the Nintendo DS Wi-Fi service at the Electronics Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles in May.

I doubt it dude, EA Games engineers who have access to developer kits & specs for all the 3 consoles, say that PS3 will most likely blow X2 and NR out of the water, due to the mindblowing hardware called "Cell" and other extra features, and Sony isn't known to slack on the software side..
They say it will be 10x more powerful than the most powerful consumer desktop PC today. 
EA Games isn't biased either + they're number 1 on games in the world, they usually know what they're talking about.

X2 sounds sick as well though, NR is just a ?-mark yet..
As for shitting on Sony, I think we will see when PSP rolls out in big numbers/promotion, with movie titles and PS2 graphics, I think it will 0wn DS..

only time will tell.

from what i read EA has development kits for nintendo and microsoft, and not ps3...and they're just speculating that since sony is still working on the system that it should be more powerful

this news came out before the recent Xbox 2 announcements....that EA rep went on to say that the PS3 processor will run at about 4.something Ghz... microsoft has announced that they're multi processors will be able to run over a teraflop of data

advantage...Xbox

Graphics Graphics Graphics.  The graphics don't need to get much better, gameplay is where the revolution needs to be.

processing power is directly related to gameplay... they can't do 0.000001% of the things they currently do without stepping up the processing power of the systems... if you want a more realistic world that you can immerse yourself in, you need processing power... imagine all the people that can be put into a world like grand theft auto now that the processing power has been multiplied 10 fold.

gameplay and graphics are to a game just like lyrics and music are to a song... sometimes they can be a little bit off and you can still have a good experience...but if one is off by two much, the product sucks

I totally, 100% disagree with that.  Chess is by far more entertaining than 95% of the videogames out there, and it's just moving little figures around on a board.  You know why kids don't play chess, though? ... because of all the advertising dollars, and peer influences telling them which games to play. 

[Rampant]

i think graphics are important, however i wouldnt base it on which system is the best.

To me

Amount of Great games > Graphics

LOL. I love it Trauma unlocks the secrets to the unviverse. Hey Trauma ; Who killed Kennedy?


I guess I was the only 6 year old who legitimately enjoyed playing Mario and Zelda instead of Chess and shuffle board. Everyone else was brainwashed. Wait, maybe I was too. Noooooooo!!!!!!!

[Rampant]

chess is awesome. plus it has more replay value then zelda and mario

For a 6 year old?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C'mon man. Be realistic. Some things are for different times in your life. When you are a little kid you like any TV show that's a cartoon, and play with blocks. When you get older you like other shows and need more adavnced items to entertain you. Casablanca is ten times the movie Scarface is, tell that to an average 14 year old.

I love chess. I just don't think any little kids would have more fun playing it than video games. (outside of Bobby Fisher and every other child prodigy)
