Nintendo Revolution wank.
Joystiq, a videogame blog, posts info about the first screens for a Revolution game, scanned from a magazine calles Game Informer. The game is called Red Steel, and it's made by Ubisoft. Boom goes the wankamite.

Highlights include some idiot talking out of his rear, his being called, somebody not understanding that consoles!=PCs, his being called(several times), somebody saying the game isn't innovative because it uses the controller in a predictable way, somebody saying that the editors of GI are lying to garner sales, and that's only the first 150 comments. Somehow, the commenters also wank over HDTV and gyroscopes. There are also comparisons between the XBox and the Rev, and the Rev controller and the Eyetoy. Plenty of fanboy BS on both sides. Oddly enough, not many 360 fanboys. Here's the most reasonable comment of the whole thing.

EDIT: Wank about the game being released bloodless.

When the Revolution comes, gamers will be the first ones lined up against the wall.

I won't be. Fuck the Revolution. It (along with it's dumbass developers) is the reason that I won't be getting Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess until November, when it was supposed to come out in FIVE DAYS.

Lame, Nintendo. Really lame.

I followed the Penny Arcade link to that site, but I got bored of the "Wow, I shat myself" comments and closed the window. I didn't realise that it turned into wank.

And I always see the wanks posted here and think "Wow, I wish that I could have come across these independantly. That'd be cool."

I watch the Joystiq feed, and came across it when it was first posted. Then I checked the link on Penny-Arcade and found wank. So don't feel bad.

Console wank is the only thing wankier than OS wank, where we get to see the neverending battle between PCs and Macs (and to a less extent Linux).

As a girl I feel no need to whip out my eCock and scream about any of the opposing sides. Although I'll always be a Nintendo geek at heart.

For srsly. I could care less about the Revolution at this point, because I am one pissed off Zelda fan.

Not with the Rev. "Red Steel" is an exclusive. Ubisoft reps have purportedly gone on record stating that there's stuff in the game that would be impossible with a traditional controller.

I'm also let down that the first game we hear of uses the controller in a very predictable way:non-hardcore gamers) should grasp the play mechanics and decide to try playing. 9_9

I love how this thread is becoming wank unto itself--
"WAH WAH I HATE YOU NINTENDO FOR PERFECTING THE GAME GIMME TWILIGHT PRINCESS NOW EVEN IF IT'S CRAP I'M GONNA BOYCOTT YOU 4EVER!"

that'd be like someone going "WAH WAH I HATE YOU RADIOHEAD YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A NEW CD OUT WAH WAH EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE GREAT I'LL HATE YOU FOR MAKING IT LATE!"

pfft. not like there's NOT other videogames out there to play.

Am I the only person here who tries to do all the neat things one will be able to do with the Revolution controller with regular controllers. Yes, I look like a total dork when doing this, but it makes it work better, dammit!

Ah, console wank. I can't wait to see how bad its going to get once the other next-gen consoles start coming out. I've got my 360 and that's the only one I plan on buying. As long as I can play Mass Effect and KOTOR 3 comes to the 360 I have no need for any other console. Although I will admit to being intrigued by the Revolution's weird controller. Only a new Silent Hill game being exclusive to either the PS3 or the Revolution will prompt me to buy either of them.

I'm personally very excited about the Revolution, 360 and PS3. It means that the PS2 will finally drop in price so I can buy one!

Oh yeah, AND BOOYEAH to those who pre-ordered Twilight Princess. I think it looks awesome, and I'm totally willing to wait an extra year if they can make it even better. *sticks out tongue like 2 year old*
