I'm a life-long Nintendo fan, and I only wish for their contunual success.  In the past, whenever Nintendo came out with a console, I told myself that I'd buy every console Nintendo makes ALL because of the big three: Mario, Zelda, and Metroid. However, since the Revolution is dawning over the horizon later this year, this is the first time I'm sceptical on Nintendo's future. But even among all my doubts, if the DS is any indication, there is hope.

Hironobu Sakaguchi said in Nintendo Power that the Revolution is like a DS, instead, the touch screen is the television. I was always taught to be faithful with the smaller things, so that when the bigger things come around, I'll be prepared and ready to face the challenge. With the DS's success, Nintendo might be holding true with that same belief. The DS is kind of like Nintendo's way of being prepared for the greater challenge that's to come. And at least from their perspective, for a gaming revolution.

I'm looking forward to the Revolution and I hope they do take gaming to the next level, but I'm VERY sceptical on its success. Regardless of my doubts, as in the past, as long as there's the big three...I'll buy it anyway.

What does everyone else think about the Revolution?

1. Is it the next level for games?

2. Will Nintendo's belief hold true that gameplay is more important than graphics?

3. Is the DS any indication that Nintendo is going the right direction?

4. Or is it just another N64 with cheap gimmicks and "kiddy" games, and the only reason for its success will be Nintendo's first-party games?

I don't have any answers for these questions...but it's fun to think about what's to come.
