Oh. My. God.

The Nintendo Revolution has a new name. A very, very, stupid name. I was just starting to get my hopes up for a system, a system controlled by waving your arms in the air. A system that will probably need three or four accessory controllers to be able to play any games. I was just starting to get excited about a system that would let me play

I bought my cube in 2002, when they cut the price and started throwing in free Zeldas and Metroid was down to $20. It's entirely possible I'll do the same thing here. I'm the dude that buys things a year after they come out and then complains about how good games don't sell well. On the other hand, if I have a decent summer job and can get trade-in credit for said cube and keep playing the games from it, I might go for it. My main fear is the lack of a gameboy player. How lame would it be to have to have to play my gameboy games on an actual gameboy? On the other hand, how awesome would the Nintendo Moldybreadbox be? I would love that. It could come in grey and green, and have a smell-emitter like in that thing Febreze makes that makes smells come out of it. You know, the thing they have on TV. That would be sweet. It could have a clock, like all the systems seem to do now, and if you didn't play it or buy new games after a couple weeks, it would start to smell to let you know. Maybe you could even collect different molds and feed them to your Pokemon to cure rare poke-diseases. And you could trade molds with your friends over the internet, and if you didn't clean your house in Animal Crossing, something would die in it and you'd have to move all the furniture to find out what. How cool would Resident Evil be? Seriously. Possibilities.

They could make a game where you can be an exterminator, and use rat poison, and wait two weeks and go back and rip out the houses walls to find dead rats trapped inside.

You're right, I should have clarified my assertion to "if they include a Metroid Prime 3 game demo at launch." That would probably get you to break your trendy trend of buying everything for cheap.

I didn't get a DS for the Prime Hunters demo, but Prime 3 might be a bit more compelling. It'll probably depend on whether they get the thing released before I've blown my money on a PS2. The price drop plus Guitar Hero plus everything I've wanted a PS2 for for the past several years might win out. It will also depend on whether they have PS2 style backwards compatibility or XBOX 360 style backwards compatibility. If I know I can keep buying the cheap Gamecube games I don't have yet, I'd be a lot more likely to get on board, but if it's going to be a hit and miss affair I'll probably have to wait until they actually start releasing Metroids and Zeldas and Marios. Until then I might try to catch up on my RPG's and my Metal Gears and the myriad of platform games they've got in Sony-land.
