ça donne sa
VIVA LA REVOLUTION
ANDY McNAMARA
EDITOR-IN-CHEF
First off, I can’t say how proud I am to present this issue to you all. Getting an opportunity to show the first Revolution game to the world is quite an honor. Nintendo normally saves these types of unveillings for its giant, worldwide press conferences, so I wanted to at least pass along my joy and excitement over the opportunity to bring you Ubisoft’s newest game, Red Steel.
But there are more important thing happening here than just a huge cover story. I think this shows that Nintendo is serious about this console generation. So much so that it’s changing the way it deals not only with us, but with its third parties as well. And this change is for the better.
I will admit, when Nintendo first showed the Revolution controller last year, I laughed out loud at the absurdity of the whole thing. I mean, come on. A tiny remote is a revolution? But I’m not too proud to eat my own words. Nintendo is on to something here. And if it can garner third-party support and truly change way games are played, this Revolution will do more than make Nintendo a lot more money for it to store in its vaults. It could change the very way all games are played now and forever.
A bold statement to be sure, but after spending some time with the Revolution and Katana, I can see how this thing could not only work, but blow-up and change the entire face of the video games industry.
I think everyone knows of the mindshare and power that PlayStation holds over the market and the industry, and that may not change with this next-generation of game machines. I know most people believed Sony’s biggest challenger would be Microsoft, myself inculded, but I think there might be more to Nintendo than meets the eye.
Nintendo has gone from a dark horse to a serious competitor in my mind, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the world reacts to the Revolution.
Because like any revolution, it can either upend society as we know it, or be squashed under the power of the ruling class.
Enjoy the issue.
Cheers
