Nintendo Prepping For E3
Press conference for Revolution already nailed down.
Though Nintendo remains vague about the announcements planned for the press conference, they've already promised "all the incredible details about Nintendo's upcoming games and hardware, including [their] next home console, code-named Revolution."
Thinking about plans for covering E3 is already causing a headache around the office, but you can definitely expect us to be on-hand on May 9 at 9:30 A.M. sharp when Nintendo cuts the next-generation ribon and pulls back the final curtains on Revolution.
Stay tuned. There's a long wait yet.

Next E3?!Posted: Dec 19, 2005 12:00AM PST by Black_Flame_7
C'mon Nintendo it was hard enough to wait until the end of the year and now we have to wait until next E3?! Damn.
This sounds good.Posted: Dec 15, 2005 12:00AM PST by orangeninjaturtle
Nintendo should do this one full force and not fuck around. They TV remote thing is pretty daring and hopefully they won't wind up like Sega or Magnavox.

where's my 2cents? oh, i think i found itPosted: Dec 05, 2005 12:00AM PST by wishfool
well, first of all let me say that i am anxiously waiting for e3 when we get a better idea of what nintendo has to offer. i'll admit it, i'm extremely excited about the new control scheme. i think it integrates the mouse and keyboard to a console very well, and could possibly add to it. then again, it all depends on its functionality and accuracy. however, i do feel it lends itself to a first person perspective very well, if not ideally, but you can call that speculation. now to contrast some things i've read on this thread. the first is about nintendo's falling profits. of course the cubes lackluster sales had a part to this but also think about research and development. R&D costs money thus hitting profits. the R&D is obviously on the rev. and the was on the DS and speculation tells me that it could be on the new 'gameboy'. the next is the kiddie arguement. i enjoy games, whether these games are controlling a teddy bear or a thug. if the game is fun with a good plot it doesn't matter how much blood or 'mature' content there is. i've never had an incident where someone said i was so much more mature or cooler cause i played GTA. actually, i have people say it's childish no matter what game i was playing, be it GTA or a mario. this point is completely moot and reached the level of redundancy. the other is the power struggle. this is almost as redundant as the kiddie arguement. sure, great power can equal great graphics and environments, but doesn't neccesarily promise great gameplay. this time around it seems that it's going to be promising for many gamers. sure, there will be points to argue and criticize on all systems, but that really shouldn't be used to try and knock any system to it's knees, figuratively speaking. with that, i say everyone enjoy.... flame on.......lol wishfool
Speculations aren't facts. Not that any of you care.Posted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by PenelopeSA
How come almost every Revolution news story promps an army of "Revolution Vs. the World" arguments and flame wars? Am I the only one humble enough to hold back on the knee jerk judgements and keep my fucking tongue in line? Being able to admit you don't know the indefinate future is a nice quality. Some of you should really try it instead of spewing worthless opinions and flaming those who think otherwise. Until we know how the Revolution's Online Downloading abiliites work, it is absolutely inane to compare it to the 360's Online Arcade feature. The same goes fot the controller. Although Nintendo has an excellent controller designing history, the new controller is obviously a risky endevour. Saying that you are sure it won't work or that it will change history is presumptuous and idiotic. No one has speant a reasonable amount of time with the controllers. The only instance of them being used was during a short tech-demo to the press. It recieved positive feedback, but can it really be judged during such a short time? No. Time will tell however. I myself am an avid Nintendo fan, and am very excited about the Revolution's possibilites. HOWEVER... The bottom line is that we just don't know enough about the revolution to start making comparisions. I am sick of idiotic console fanboys unrealistically condemning or praising a system when only the tiniest information currently exists.
Why Nintendo will be #1read to knowPosted: Dec 02, 2005 12:00AM PST by Revolution123456
Nintendo must have I think 6 of their own franchise titles ready to show off, I think theres two important things that could take them to the top, the new gameplay being the only company to actually introduce something new to next-gen gaming besides graphics wich any company can do with ease, now changing gameplay not only is it revolutionary but having lots of balls to do this and risking failure if their new gameplay isn't accepted. Second I think is price tag if it is $200-$250 this is really were nintendo really has a chance to be #1 and if not for those who usually buy 2 home consoles I think Nintendo has chance being next to a Playstation3 or Xbox360 but PS3 or Xbox360 together in the same house highly unlikely.
Errr....Posted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Saikoro
I dunno.... I love Nintendo, no doubt, but their recent track record is less than stellar. We were all excited about the N64 and its "Great Lineup" of titles. Then the N64 slowly faded into obscurity. Same thing happened with the Cube. "The Cube has tons of Proimise!!" But then lack of 3rd party support also made this system fade into obscurity. Im not saying that Nintendo has bad games (For all of you Nintendo Loyalists), I own a DS and a Cube, and all of Nintendo's unique games speak volumes with creativity and replayability. Nintendo has the means to be successfull, but they need to push harder than they are. A new style of Controller isnt going to save your ass, its going to alienate you further. And I dont want to see the Revolution fade into that obscurity as its two former Hardware Brothers. -Damien
Way to go Nintendo...Posted: Dec 01, 2005 12:00AM PST by Thr3enails
You might call me a Sony fanboy (whatever, I don't care, I just love the Playstation 2, and I want to be the first to get a PS3) But I am amazed at how Nintendo is entering this next-gen war. I'm very excited to see how games can be played with the controller and how it'll be utilized. Not trying to be the most technological (as the PS3 and 360 are trying to be) but having best gaming expierience makes me think that Nintendo is taking the Revolution very seriously and with much care. I'm excited for the games (i.e. Mario 128, SSBM 2, & another Zelda). After I get my ps3, I will definitly be looking forward to the Revolution.
I can't wait...Posted: Nov 30, 2005 12:00AM PST by imujon
Man finally Nintendo is getting serious! This is great! I can't wait to see what their gonna bring out this time. Hopefully it's gonna be worth the wait because E3 is pretty far away and they are already trying to get the hype started. These next generation consoles are really getting serious....

Goes to show just how narrow minded people can be. Did you honestly not see the short commings in your arguement? You really didn't see the holes in your theory? Nintendo continues to excel even with depleting sales. 1up posts everytime Nintendo's profits are down ya, the same guys also publish the Official Playstation Mag, you do the math. What they dont't tell you is how even though Nintendo's profit slips at the end of the GC's life (as is regular with all hardware) that they still make more than Sony gaming division. And you MUST know that the Xbox (original) made NO MONEY off hardware, it made negative dollars...thats not good, and far far worse than Nintendo's profit drop. A drop in profit is still a profit. When the revolution comes out the profits will boom, why? because they don't sell at a loss. Its okay that GC is dying (a little worse than they had hoped, but they aren't about to file bankruptcy) Don't forget how the DS is OWNING the PSP anyway you look at it. 'But you can't watch movies on your DS!' Ya? well, if your battery lasts you long enough to get through an entire movie, I'd applaude sony for once in a long time. Lets not forget dead pixels, sticky square button. But we're not getting into that. Sorry, this is about the 360 is it? Rushed out to launch, malfunctioning and shortages are reminicient of the PS2 launch problems, its a sad day when people are such fanboys that they say; "well its first version of the hardware, gotta expect it to be a little rough" Not for 400 bones I don't expect it to be rough. Another thing; About HD, this format will not reach full penetration until 360's generation is comming to an end - it isn't a big deal right now. Nice features I suppose, but not if your going to sacrifice frame rate...I think I've said enough you must get the picture by now... Revolt.

Why must you tease me so? You already know I'll be picking up the "Rev" I'm too impatient to be waiting until the next E3 to learn more about the Rev. =(
screaminhedgiePosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by VindicatedTwisties
How can you already pass judgement on a machine you havent even seen games for yet or even played? You call Nintendo guys Fanboys when you're a fanboy yourself. So far it's safe to say that the 360 is a steaming piece of crap. I've played it and yes, the graphics look great but theres nothing really special about it. Its just the same old gameplay with prettier graphics. Nothing on the 360 yet has been stellar and I feel sorry for those poor fools that bought the ones that overheat and break down. Even the one at my local EB has broken down hahaha The demo that they had running! SAD!!! Haha "If it ain't broke,dont fix it" that seems to be the mantra of you Sony and MS fanboys. It just shows how un-original those companies are. "If it aint broke, dont fix it" were true we'd just get the same games over and over again with prettier graphics. Nintendo die? Not likely. They have survived since forever and they only make game hardware and software unlike Sony and MS. Your shortsightedness is laughable.. you really have no idea what Nintendo is trying to do for the gaming industry do you? I truly pity you and all the other MS and Sony fanboys out there... You've all been brain washed by GTA and Halo...
screaminhedgiePosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by fdotorres
1. the day they don't make profit out of their products, they are broke, since videogames is the only bussiness. do you really think they are careless? 2. last time i checked, they were increasing the profit, and if they begin losing now, WHO CARES?! it's their last year with a console. microsoft's and sony's profit have declined A LOT more than nintendo's. why do you think microsoft rushed next-gen? BECAUSE THE XBOX IS DEAD. i don't see that problem with the gamecube or the ps2 3. wanna talk about problems? let's take a look a microsoft right now. forget about the broken machines and lets refresh your memory. they spent almost two years hyping their new console and bragging about "the hd-era". with a 10gb (maximum) dvd, how do you fit an hd software with smart ai and aesome sound in there. wanna sacrifice framerate? all that marketing had only one effect: hyping the ps3 for being the only truly hd capable machine so, we see a menoy-losing console like the 360 made so technoligical AND rushed that it's having problems and malfunctioning and won't support hd to its full potential. why have a multi-core processor if you can't fit shit in a dvd? 4. nintendo is not only the most profitable, it's thetop consolo AND software seller. EVEN MORE THAN ELECTRONIC ARTS. in conclusion, when nintendo struggles, all struggle way more than them. even when they struggle, they make tons of money, even enough to be compared to the whole sony industry, one of the biggest and most powerful in the world. at least be happy that your comment didn't pass unheard

Oh you claim that the Revolution online is nothing compared to Xbox live. So you have played the system before it has come out hmmmm what did you do build a time machine to go play it?? I feel sorry for you and your lack of vision
fdotorres...Posted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by screaminhedgie
Just because Nintendo is profitable doesn't mean that they won't be hemorraging cash anytime soon. And if I remember correctly, those precious profits declined 42 percent recently. The Revolution will be Nintendo's downfall. Outside of a few Nintendo fanboys, it won't sell at all. Nintendo will soon regret selling Rare off to MS. The Rev's download service has nothing on Xbox Live Arcade. Oh, and the 360's controller is the most comfortable thing I've ever laid my hands on. Nintendo fanboys are funny. There's a difference between innovation and being different for the sake of being different, and the Revolution remote falls under the latter category. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Technically, the GameCube is a superior machine to the PS2.
Kiddie?Posted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by hell_have_I
Well I can say im proud of nintendo for what its doing. What you people (who bash nintendo for being "kiddie") dont realise is that your ps2 games and xbox games, with their supposed "mature" shit are really down right juvenile to begin with. They cater to the kids more than anything. Kids drive pop culture, just watch mtv, its non stop high school antics. Sony and Microsoft finally made video games cool and pop culture has jumped on the band wagon spreading the shit fest further. What is new as far as gameplay and such with the Xbox 360? So far I've seen the same trite non-sense that has been iterated for the last 5 years. Theres nothing new enough to cause me to spend $400 on a box with pretty visuals that PC's have been capable of for a few years now. What set consoles apart from PC gaming initially was the variation in game play, and yet now that is being blurred by the new competition. When I first played the Xbox and when I first purchased the Ps2, I didnt get that sense of evolution that I did from previous systems in the past. So by all means continue to believe that fun game play is kiddie, spend hundreds on regurgitated poppy non-sense and perhaps some of us serious gamers will have somewhere to go without 50 cent and mtv permeating our games.
leofPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by perri
you know why Nintendo hasn't gone the sega route? because they are the most profitable gaming bracket the world has ever seen. Do your homework before you get to school next time. Without Nintendo the game industry would be in shambles, there would be very little compelling software out there, people would loose interest, and gaming would crash, of course you know there would be no gaming industry today if it weren't for Nintendo in the first place so respect your elders.
GroverFDPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by fdotorres
what's nintendo's problem? they WILL make money of every revolution sold (can't say that about the 360 can you?) and half of their games are always 1st party games, so i guess that they make more money by selling 500,000 or their games that sony makes selling 6 million of rockstar's games before you go talking trash, look at the sales. if i'm not mistaken, the gba has sold more units than the ps2 (again selling at a profitable price). the ds also makes profits, and the psp doesn't (ds outselling the psp, ouch!) nintendo lost it's dominance? no, my friend. nintendo is dominating even more right now. look at the revenues (nintendo's up, and sony's and microshit are down). did you know that nintendo makes 70 billion/year only making games and sony makes 75/billion making ALL of their products (including mp3, vaios, etc...)? if you want to imagine you are killing thugs or aliens with a boomerang or an ugly and boring (same shit) controller who's destined to break (like it's respective console), you are welcome. i'll be laughing at you playing smash bros. online with my remote controller ;)
N64, GameCube, and now RevolutionPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by leof
I really hope Nintendo gets it's act together. They have missed the boat ever since they broke off their joint venture with Sony. The N64 couldn't compete with the PSOne, GameCube followed with the simular results against the PS2 and even couldn't even compete with the new XBOX system. The Revolution has to compete toe to toe with the new XBOX 360 and the PS3. I'm sure the 1/2+ year lead for the XBOX 360 is going to be huge lead. The PS3 hype and marketing you know will be hard to ignore. Ninento is going to have to really push and advertise like crazy and attract more then just kids. I don't think Nintendo has a chance. I'm actually surprised they haven't already taken the Sega road and bow out and become a software publisher. Maybe the 3rd strike will be Nintendos wake up call.

boffi your a geniousPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by perri
that was great, well said. People don't understand video games anymore. They play for the image it creates, I'm pretty convinced of this. Lets go play GTA so we can tell everybody how many people we killed, lets go buy Tony Hawk so I can fit in with the emo skaters, lets go buy madden so I can fit in with my jock friends. Ya, grow up kids - get over yourselves. Once you realize that the most fun you've ever had is making that plump Italian plumber bounce around then talk to me, because Thuggin through New York with a gun isn't fun, maybe I shouldn't say that, it WAS fun the first time DOOM is fun, but now that everybody is bent on 'GTA killers' and 'Halo killers' the fun has been sucked out of gaming. Except of course for Nintendo who always devote themselves to fun rather than an image. And guess what? you can have your market share because Nintendo still makes the most profit so they aren't going anywhere and I will always have my favourite games for the best value. Thank you Nintendo for not following suite and providing us with original and entertaining content for 20 years. Revolt.
Kiddie commentsPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by rohcky
I love how everyone claims Nintendo is a kiddie oriented company while completely disregarding kid-oriented games on the PS1/2 (Spyro) and XBOX (The Bible Game). Quit being such fanboys. MS and Sony (and Nintendo) don't give a hoot about your loyalty; all they want is your $$$.
Look at the top left corner...Posted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by boffiF20C
See those three games? Smash Bros., Zelda, and Metroid. Sometimes you even see a Mario 128 avatar. Nothing on these titles will grace this or any other site until Nintendo hosts this big press release. NOTHING! When the loyalists start begging for information, if for nothing else to keep interest in the machine alive, it would be best for Nintendo to listen. E3 is a long time down the road in the shadow of the 360 release, sound strategy or not. Regarding this console bashing nonsense: I'm glad that you guys like your XBOX. Plenty of people do so go jerk off in some forum with them. Sales figures for the GC may not be what they could have been, but the console has still been a thriving success in the eyes of those that own it. I don't really enjoy kiddie games, but I do enjoy the gameplay that is so fantastically addicting that it can only be brought to gamers from Nintendo. My next-gen stable will include a Rev as well as a PS3 for the normal stuff. GameCube owners enjoyed Metroid on/near launch, a new Mario game, Windwaker (best Zelda, if not Ocarina came with preorder), a superior Soul Calibur, Smash Bros., RE4 for a LONG time before anyone else, another dynamite Metroid, and what could be the best drinking video game ever ... Warioware. And those are just some of my prefrences, but they are a testement to the quality of a system as well as a company. I easily prefer that handful to the monotonous, yawn-inducing shit that we've come to expect as quality gaming (sarcasm implied). The Revolution will be big.
Re: GroverFDPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by racingdynamics
You clearly dont have the slightest clue of what you are talking about, do you? First off, if you took the time to actually research sales figures instead of pulling them out of your ass, you would realize that....wait for it......Nintendo made more PROFITS than Sony and Microsoft combined last generation. Go to www.hoovers.com, take a look around. Nintendo was by far the smartest marketing company for this generation. For a good 8 - 12 months Revolution didnt release a single screenshot or hardware spec. But people still talked about it; This mystical controller. Then, they let Sony and Microsoft butt heads at E3 last year. Very smart. Why? because when Nintendo steps up to the podium next E3 and blows the doors off the revolution, what are Sony and Microsoft going to have in comparison? Nothing. Maybe a few more tech demos, or news about the latest "add-on" you can purchase for your "media center".
Dont knock it till you try itPosted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by redneckrevolver
Cant wait to try the revolution and for those narrow minded idiots that keep bashing it, dont knock it till you try it I wanna try out the PS3 also the specs look interesting, but I will say this for the next gen it has always been about the games PS2 had the most(3rd party support) but alot of developers are jumping ship to Microsoft and Nintendo because believe it or not BluRay is expensive to develop for. Sony wont have too many exclusives this time around and with hardly any good 1st party games.......I dont know time will tell

Face it, whether you play GTA, Halo or Mario, videogaming isn't a very grown-up hobby. If Nintendo fans have a Peter Pan syndrome, so do all adult video game players. What's so bad about wanting to have fun? Maybe the Nintendo haters feel threatened when one console maker makes the fun aspect more obvious than the others.

you guys lean too much on one console. They say "nintendo is for kids and will suck next year, it'll totally be owned by 360 and ps3!" yet you have no idea of what will happen next year. You can only suppose that nintendo will have crappy hardware that will be blown away by the competition. Key word being suppose. And it being kiddy? It has resident evil! Kiddy game my a$$...
Nintendo has problems.Posted: Nov 29, 2005 12:00AM PST by GroverFD
Last time round, with the GC, Nintendo was up against the new boy on the block - the Xbox. This time they are launching at the same time as the PS3 will be launched. Is it any wonder then, they are trying to ramp up the hype early? With the GC selling horribly.. even with rediculously low prices.. Nintendo are in for a serious shock. Imho, they have made a major blunder. They should have stuck with their competitor. All they have done is make MS stronger.. and reduce their own presence significantly by launching at the same time as the PS3. Another marketing blunder.. from the company that used to be the leader..

What the fuck? until may of the 2k6? this is so much time. But I hope they'll show little advances until the next e3. For example, in the GDC or any other event. And to those who say crap about revolution I say: Fuck you bitches. Go and fuck your mother and fuck too with your whore console (ps3) if that excites you. Maybe you learn more about videogames and stop saying that revolution will suck because we the real gamers don't care what your closed mind release in words, at the end, all that you type is crap.
re: insert name herePosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by fdotorres
it HAS to do with a more intelligent strategy sony has created a strong support for their ps2 over the years (also, they have the psp) that they don't need to rush next gen, a thing that microsoft had to do (the xbox is a hype machine and time destroys hype) nintendo, on the other hand, doesn't need tha either, as they have kept people veeery busy with an excellent library of gba and ds games PLUS all of their 1st party support on upcoming gc games (zelda fits here pretty well) as you see, the lack of a handheld and a strong library of console games makes great hardware (xbox) totally useless (cuz live can't cover all the demand)

What are you talking about? Out of all the consoles Nintendo will ship, they can not guarantee every one will work like it is suppose to....you can not do that with any product; so kill that noise. Also, how does it make Sony smarter than Microsoft because they are making money off the PS2? They simply have the ability to do that...that has nothing to do with them being smarter than Microsoft.
I agree...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by the_corkster
with Girolami on that one. Of all the new consoles coming out, the revolution will the be the talk of the town. Microsoft and Sony hasn't even tried to develop something out of the ordinary for a new gaming system. As for the revolution not having HD, the resolution of the Gamecube was higher than that of the Playstation 2 or Xbox and the Revolution is bound to have better graphics than that. One thing I really appreciate about nintendo is the quality they put into their devices. The only thing they have ever made that wasn't real good, though, was the control stick for the N64 which became loose after awhile, but that was the first of it's kind at the time. The efficiency of their consoles is another show of their quality instead of microsoft's view of quantity. It is like taking the chevy corvette engine and putting a go cart exhaust on it, it just doesn't cut it.
Can't wait!Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by the_corkster
I have always been a huge nintendo fan. I own the SNES, N64, and Gamecube and I have never ever had a problem with any of them. And we have had all 3 consoles ever since they first came out. I hear a lot about the problems that playstation and especially XBox have been having, and I am glad that nintendo hasn't let their quality slip, like microsoft (who can't get their stuff together with their operating systems so why should they even try to get into gaming consoles?) or Sony (who used to be one of the best electronics companies until they started diversifying their focus on so many electronics that now they are no good at any particular technology) Also, I am glad that nintendo is still in the game. They have the best games, for kids and adults. Nintendo has always been geared toward the family atmosphere with games rated mostly E to T with an M here and there. But Playstation and especially XBOX has mostly M games with things in them worse than some movies. If nintendo were to go, then there goes the end of the classic family fun gaming experince and the continuation of the blood, gore, sex and other crap that is demoralizing our society today.

I really like the direction nintendo is going with this. I'm way more excited for the revolution than the 360 or PS3. And whoever said how are you gonna play SNES games on it, remember there are the gamecube controllers that can be used and also the cradle that will be made. I think nintendo is gonna sweep up in the next generation.

I think it was smart of them to make a different control beacause it looks awesome. if you wan't to play it like a regular control then just turn it sideways and play it like you where playing the NES. it sure looks hell better than the ps3 control. i mean the ps3 looks like a freakin bummerang. and it copied the spider man letters where it says playstation 3 on the control.

man, read other articles besides 1up's and ign's nintendo DOMINATES the market in BOTH hardware sales and profits (http://www.cubed3.com/news/4145) sorry if i sound like a freakin dick but i'm getting tired of people saying "nintendo is struggling" or comparing nintendo to sega. why don't i hear people comparing sega to atari? that sounds more reasonable when sony or microsoft brings me 1st party games like super metroid, mario or any zelda game, then i'll start getting scared

Nintendo is gonna put up a fightPosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Eon_Blue_Apocalypse
Oh man that's soo far away. I hope this is a really successful console for Nintendo. I would hate to see them just become a game developer and publisher like Sega. Then we would be stuck with sony and microsoft and we all know there not interested in furthering the industry. Their just in a pissing match against eachother and don't really care about the consumer. Any way I can't wait to get my hands on this thing it seems to be trully something different without sacrificing the ability to make good games.
Nintendo getting jumpy?Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by MrBrightside072
why is Nintendo telling us so early...are they finally getting tired of keeping secrets? p.s. will pay $500 for a way into e3 2006
Just can't wait...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Arnold Carnival
I just cannot wait for the big N's next console but Twilight Princess would ease the pain a little.
RE:cost of downloadingPosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by vugundam
Since Nintendo aims to be customer-friendly, the old-school games should cost $10 or less. But many of the games through the generations of Nintendo consoles were 3rd-party. If Nintendo presents these games, those respective 3rd-parties would ask for royalty fees (which they would rightfully deserve). That may increase the prices of getting those old-school games or prevent them from being available at all for the Revolution. But either way, it's a very good thing that Nintendo has a huge slew of 1st-Party games which can easily be made available when the Revolution comes about.
BOOOO!!!!Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Panda_my_Halo
I boo because I hate nintendo's idea for the revolution and I think it's gonna suck. For Revolution fans they'll boo because of the wait....C'mon Nintendo!! Work harder!!! For ppl. like me who don't necessarily like Nintendo(I like the N64) go to this site to get a free xbox 360(it really works, I did it with an Ipod and I cheated the system by sending it to my friends house with my other e-mail adress): http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=22199044

how will it play thos games? easy. it has 4 ports for gamecube controllers and those have all the buttons necessary to play any snes AND n64 games in fact, nintendo doent's suck. if it sucks, why would they domiante the videogame market? http://nintendoinsider.com/site/EEEFylpkElFffmiBlr.php http://nintendoinsider.com/site/EEEZuAypVuTuOJPzyb.php http://www.cubed3.com/news/4145 even if u haven't thought about it, many of us don't buy sport games neither gta, and i don't think that many third party games are good enough to convince me to buy a 360 or ps3 last but not least, how the hell do u think that a company whose economy depends on games only will make a bad gaming machine or one with a disastrous error? no will do. in my case, i'm gonna buy a revo at launch (hope it doesn't suffer the 360's disease) and wait until the ps3 gets a great game or one i love (did i mention mgs4?) and HOPE that by that time it gets a price cut
The 'REAL' use for the controller...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Aphonia
You press A, and the thing will allow you to play games with an Xbox 360 controller. It'll beep too, so really it's the best controller on the market. And how on earth are you supposed to play SNES games with that thing? I wish Nintendo would think straight. They make great games, but their systems (Since V-Boy/N64) are pieces of junk compared to the competition, and you know the Revolution will be the same way: Great(the best)1st party, weak system, almost no 3rd party.
i wonder whats gonna happen with the downloads...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by nuckinghostsc
does any1 know how much the downloads are gonna cost for snes games and stuff.
Re: Not until May???Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by OldSk00LGamer
No, Sony and Microsoft are successful due to third party support. But I agree as to Nintendo should be revealing something exciting. But I think 360 will flop anyways so it might be smart to save the juicy details for PS3's launch.
Nintendo did have a strong presence at E3 last year...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by miyamotofan1
...with the revealing of the revolution, the gameboy micro (no matter how useless some may think it is, it still held interest), great games on the DS, and the mile long line that eventually led to Legend of Zelda. The PS3 was very impressive, but there were no games to play and with the Revolution there weren't even games to see, but with Nintendo going all out for E3 '06, I can't imagine anything else dominating the show. I think Nintendo has plenty of surprises in store for us. Then again, I may just be getting my hopes up. I guess we'll all find out on May 9th next year. I can't wait!
Not until May???Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by MaximusZX
I can understand Nintendo wanting to release their next major product at a big expo like E3, but it seems rediculous to wait that long to release concrete details about the Revolution. <br>If they don't give gamers some solid information NOW, there won't BE anyone around who even cares enough to buy the Revolution six months from now. They need to release more details as early as they can, in order to create hype. That's why Sony and Microsoft do and that's part of the reason why they're more successful than Nintendo.
Re: Nintendo's "Domination" of E3Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Pryopizm
While Nintendo may have had the longest lines, it's a bit disengenuous to say they "dominated" E3. This year Nintendo has had very little third party support for the GameCube. The PS3 and the 360 got quite a bit of coverage, but also their games were spread throughout the entire convention center because of the third parties. Go to Square-Enix's booth, Capcom's booth, Konami's booth. You're not going to find a whole hell of a lot of games for Nintendo's hardware. Nintendo as a publisher certainly dominates, but not necessarily as a hardware developer.
Awww Nintendo...Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by next_gengamer
Why are you making us all wait so damn long Nintendo? This waiting is killing me slowly... i must know what Nintendo's plans are... Anywho i agree that E3 06 will be all about Nintendo's Revolution. I mean i love Sony and MS but Nintnedo will have the spotlight on them this upcoming E3. We know everything about the 360 and almost everything about the PS3 but very little about Nintendo's master plan. Shit thou man i just got a 360 and im lovin it but i gots to get me a PS3 and Rev too! Im just f#@kin lovin all these next gen systems peeps... shittt!
Re: Nintendo's trump cardPosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Ninja_117
No, they're not going to make LoZ:Twilight Princess a Revolution launch title, as clever as it seems. I, and many others, have preordered a copy of Legenda of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and they would certainly not change it at the last moment, and force us to buy a game that comes out on a console that we dont own. that would make people who preordered the game pissed. It is possible, however, that Nintendo will release a Twilight Princess for the Revolution IN ADDITION to the GCN game. the revolution version could have benefits like more quests and whatnot. ... Its possible, but not likely. The revolution games will most likely all be brand new innovative type games utilizing the Revolution's controller's abilities. ...Just a thought.
What do you mean Nintendo dominated E3?Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by emanziboy
GamerYamen, you need to review the facts. Nintendo did NOT dominate E3. The only thing they had was Legend of Zelda.The unvieling of the PS3 was a far bigger hit than anything Nintendo had to offer, which was only a half-a**ed idea known as the Game Boy Micro.I mean, come on! Are you really going to buy a one hundred dollar system to play the same exact games! Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo, but don't give credit where it doesn't belong.

Go time for Nintendo.Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by dj_katy
While I don't own a Gamecube (directly anyway), the Revolution has completely reinvigorated the Nintendo fangirl within me. E3 is really going to make or break them. If they don't fully show their hand, it'll be a blow they probably won't be able to fully recover from if at all. I'm itching to see what will show (Please show some SSB and Metroid Prime. >:3)
For the Love of God show SSB!!!Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by armb1as7
Nintendo aways debuted new consoles(at least since n64) with the Super Smash Bros. games. The least thing they can do is show a video for the game, or if they're really cool a demo. Can't wait for it to come out, online support's gonna rule!
Nintendo dominated E3 last year.Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by GamerYamen
The biggest line in the whole event last year (all three days) was the line to play the new Zelda (I waited 2.5 hours, and that was only because I ran flat-out from the door to the line as soon as the show opened; some of my friends waited for almost 6 hours on the third day!). I would expect that with a whole new system on thier hands, Nintendo will likely be the biggest presence at E3 next year.
nintendo's trump card....Posted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by xhaust
I bet you anything that they are going to delay "Zelda: Twilight Princess" in order to make it a Revolution launch title. It would make more sense and a killer app as a launch title is guaranteed to sell a couple of million consoles.
You're wrongPosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by Mavrick628
Well, heres hoping at least. I think Nintendo will blow the doors off the hinges, but up until then I bet you won't hear shit except in Q-mans rumormill. They definitely need to come out with something then, cause PS3 is definitely going to be Summer launch(July). E3 will be the only time Nin has to take some air out of Sony's balloon.

Even at E3 they won't release a whole lot, sadly. Just wait and see. They won't tell us everything about the Rev, they might just have a couple of games or something. Too bad, though, because I can't wait for new info.

Awesome little news article... I just hope they pull off some big announcements! Nintendo's biggest need right now, is for more advertized media... Once they make the big announcements, they NEED to let the general gamers know! But at least to some degree, I hope Nintendo makes a few smaller announcements before E3... cause I dont wanna wait so long T_T XD. Even so, we can expect some AWESOME things at next E3! ^_~

Way to go big NPosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by LSSLAVE
Leave it to Nintendo... Just wow, sometimes they amaze me. Months away from press conferences and they are already preparing for them. Obviously it is going to be something extremely huge if they are willing to work on it for months in advance. Heres to you Nintendo, youve turned a gamer into a fanboy and you wont let me go!
Freak'n AwesomePosted: Nov 28, 2005 12:00AM PST by mr_null
I think this is great. Sure, it's pointless to schedule a press conference this early, but by doing it Nintendo is telling the world, "Hey.. World! I'm still here and I'm gonna rawk you next Summer." It's just a good show of faith.

Last spacewalk of US shuttle era ends (Update 2)
Two US astronauts wrapped up the last spacewalk of the shuttle era Tuesday at the International Space Station, where Atlantis is docked on the final mission of the 30-year US program.
Two US astronauts wrapped up the last spacewalk of the shuttle era Tuesday at the International Space Station, where Atlantis is docked on the final mission of the 30-year US program.
Astronauts aboard the shuttle Atlantis will get one extra day in space as they restock the International Space Station with a year's worth of food and supplies, NASA said Monday.
With the final launch of the Atlantis, NASA retires its space shuttle program. We spoke to Professor Chris Damaren of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies about the end of an era in manned space travel.
A piece of Soviet space debris is not likely to collide with the International Space Station after all, and astronauts have moved ahead with restocking the orbiting lab, NASA said Monday.

NASA is tracking a piece of Soviet space debris that could collide with the International Space Station, the US space agency said Sunday after the shuttle Atlantis docked on its final mission.
When Atlantis takes off from Kennedy Space Center, it will be the last time NASA launches astronauts aboard a government-built spacecraft for perhaps the rest of this decade.
The shuttle Atlantis docked at the orbiting International Space Station for one last hitch-up Sunday, on its final space voyage before the entire 30-year US shuttle program shuts down for good.
The crew of Atlantis prepared to link up with the International Space Station Sunday as part of the final mission of the US space shuttle program.
(AP) -- The space shuttle Atlantis hasn't performed like a ship ready for retirement. The first full day of the final flight of the aging space shuttle fleet - the most complicated machines ever built - was practically flawless.

The Zombies reuniting w/ surviving original members to play 'Odessey & Oracle' in full on a US tour for the first time
British psychedelic/baroque/sunshine pop legends The Zombies performed their essential 1968 album Odessey & Oracle for its 40th anniversary in London (and turned it into a DVD), but they've actually never performed it in full in the US. That will finally change this fall, and making it even better, Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent are reuniting with surviving original members Chris White and Hugh Grundy for the shows. It'll be that lineup's first US tour together in five decades. The shows will also include the band's current lineup (Blunstone and Argent with Tom Toomey, Jim Rodford and Steve Rodford) playing music from their new album, Still Got That Hunger, which is set to come out this September.
The tour kicks off on September 30 in Dallas and wraps up on October 27 in San Francisco. In between, it hits NYC on October 9 in NYC at The Concert Hall at New York Society for Ethical Culture (2 West 64th St). Tickets for NYC go on sale Friday (7/24) at 10 AM with a presale starting Thursday (7/23) at 10 AM.
They also have European shows coming up. All dates are listed, with the full-set video of their Odessey and Oracle 40th anniversary show, below...

The Well is opening next to The Wick in Bushwick (Cam'ron, Os Mutantes, Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees & more already scheduled)
"The police call it "the Well" -- this block of Knickerbocker Avenue, between Troutman and Jefferson Streets, that has become the most notorious drug bazaar in Brooklyn and one of the toughest in New York City."It's been some time since we heard much about The Wick (260 Meserole St.), the forthcoming Bushwick, Brooklyn music venue located right down the street from The Acheron, and the Wick is still not open, but it is still coming (as you can see on its website).
[NY Times, 1992]
Meanwhile welcome beer hall and event venue The Well, located at 272 Meserole St. (two blocks from the Montrose stop on the L line), which will be The Wick's larger and related neighbor.
Grubstreet posted this in April:
The Well is a "public house" ...with a 4,000-square-foot interior complete with 30-foot ceilings, and an 11,000-square-foot backyard. [Co-Owner Joshua Richholt] and partner Shay Vishawadia will offer 60 beers on tap and another 200 in bottles, with every brewery in New York State represented.The Well's 11,000 square foot private outdoor space, the venue tells us "is designed to serve as a meeting place for the neighborhood, offering public activities, community events, sports and more year round." They go on to say that "talent booker Chris White, the former showcase director of the CMJ Music Marathon, will bring some of the world's best known and most beloved performing artists to THE WELL with a lineup of pop, rock and hip hop artists as diverse and as talented as Brooklyn itself. Reasonably priced tickets offer the casual concert goer the opportunity to sample a few of THE WELL's 300+ beers on offer." Chris White is also, as mentioned back in 2011, booking the smaller venue The Wick which has the same owners (Chris also used to work at Knitting Factory).
Richholt is excited about the space itself, a "huge old brewery circa 1875," with "great German architecture" in the form of intricate brick work and steel girders, "a lot of detail nobody bothers to do anymore because it's so expensive." The building's street was once known as "brewery row" and home to seventeen suds factories; the great part now is that Riccholt expects it to be pretty immune from noise complaints. "It kind of becomes a ghost town at night," he said.
The Well will host its inaugural show, a hip hop one, with Cam'ron (who was recently was a surprise guest at the Drake show in Jones Beach), Flatbush Zombies, Asaad & Reese, and more on Saturday, July 14. Doors are at 4:00pm, Show is at 5:00pm, 18 and over to enter. Tickets are on sale.
Tickets are also on sale Os Mutantes, M.A.K.U. Soundsystem, DOM, and Citay on 7/28, the 12th Annual Rumblers NYC Car Show, and Ty Segall & Thee Oh Sees on 9/22. More shows to be announced soon. More Ty Segall & Thee Oh Sees tour dates HERE.
Hittleman Brewery in Bushwick
Three former music executives at the Knitting Factory will open a cavernous indie music venue in a former 19th-century brewery on Meserole Street.The article goes on to say how the venue will differentiate itself from other Brooklyn venues like Knitting Factory and Music Hall of Williamsburg. If you read it, make sure to also read the comments which clarify a point that Joshua Richholt made about "The Wick" not being "Walmart-like". The author makes it seem like Joshua dissed Bowery Presents, but that wasn't actually the case (it was the author of the article doing the not-factual dissing).
The new venue, called "The Wick," will be the ground floor of the former Hittleman Brewery near Bushwick Avenue -- a building that already houses several music-related companies, including an equipment shop, a rehearsal space and a music-focused radio station.
That's what attracted General Manager Joshua Richholt, talent booker of the moment Chris White and operations manager Shay Vishawadia.
"The building is sort of a Mecca for musicians," said Richholt. "If they want to rehearse overnight or have a studio session, they can go down to the recording studio. A touring band can come through here and not need to go anywhere else."
The plan calls for a main stage and a bar that can hold 400 and 700 people. It could open as early as this summer. -[The Brooklyn Paper]
Talent booker/buyer Chris White, since leaving Knitting Factory, in addition to working on The Wick (see above), has teamed up with ex-Bell House/Union Hall booker Skippy to form Tiger Mountain Presents which now books shows at The Rock Shop, Littlefield, Santos Party House and elsewhere.
And actually, the upcoming Mavis Staples show at the Bell House is a Tiger Mountain Presents show, which means that Skippy booked a show at the Bell House again.

If you need to change anything at all to your pledge or have any questions, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll address your needs asap!
FAQ:Q: I couldn't enter my data for which perks / gamertag / preferences for my tier!
A: We will be sending out post-campaign SURVEYS by email once the campaign has ended. You'll be able to tell us what you want to select for your perks, your gamertag, as well as give you the chance to ask a question if you are confused about your donation level.
Q: What is included in which tier?!
A: Check out the campaign page and scroll all the way down – there will be informative graphics for each tier which show you what is included in what.
Q: Is international shipping different for this tier or this tier?
A: International shipping rates are as follows:
For all items $75 and UNDER, add $10 to your order.
For all items $100 and OVER, add $20 to your order.
Q: How do the standalone tiers work?
A: To receive a standalone tier, you must pledge the $50 on top of whatever you currently have pledged. If you have already pledged for a lower tier, pledging the difference between your pledge and the standalone will not qualify you. You must pledge the full $50 for the standalone of either the VGHS board game or the Lootcrate. You will be able to clarify which you pledged for when the post-campaign surveys are sent out.
Q: What if I don't want my lower tier and just the standalone now?
A: If you pledged for a lower tier and now only want a standalone, then pledge the difference to $50 and we will be able to clarify your pledge after the campaign ends when we send out the surveys. For instance, if you pledged $30 for the BluRay but now only want the VGHS boardgame, you will need to pledge $20 again and select no perk, bringing your total to $50. When we send out the survey, you will be able to clarify that you want only the boardgame. You will NOT receive the $30 level, the $30 you pledged before now qualifies for the VGHS boardgame instead.
Q: What if I pledge for Valedictorian and the perks I want are sold out?
A: As long as you pledge for Valedictorian, you will receive whatever perks you like regardless of it being "available" or not. It's just one of the upsides of being the best in your class!
Q: What if I pledge for Valedictorian and want the same perk twice?
A: You are totally allowed to pick the same perk twice under the Valedictorian pledge, so if you wanted two collector's editions for example, you could choose that when the surveys are sent out!
Q: I added $20 for international shipping/another tier/upgrade – will you see it?
A: We see everything. You're totally set as long as you added on to your pledge and used the same name and email :)
Q: Will I receive ____ tier below mine if I donate at this level?
A: If the tier says "includes all previous non-limited rewards" then yes! You will receive everything below your current tier that is a non-limited reward.
Q: Law ready for this?
A: Yes.
Q: I added $$ to my donation and wanted to get this extra item! It's not showing up and I haven't gotten an email notification – what's going on?
A: Not to worry! We have your donations all on record and we will be contacting everyone who re-pledged and added more to their pledge to ensure you get exactly what you paid for after the campaign has ended.
Q: Why IndieGoGo instead of Kickstarter?
A: We answer this question thoroughly in our video update here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQEJmeArntE
A main reason is that we have any international donors and the ability to integrate PayPal with the campaign is very important to us and inclusive to the whole world!
Q: Can I have _____ as my name in the credits?
A: Yes! We will be sending out surveys and the like later on after the campaign has ended where you can specify any specifics about your donation.
We've only got 12 hours left before this IndieGoGo campaign is over! We had an incredible time last night livestreaming for everyone for 6 whole hours and we raised over $60,000 in that time! We've broken our previous record and are so proud and amazed at everyone's generosity - we hope you had as much fun watching, participating, and winning as we did!
If you've asked any questions we will be sure to get back to you before the fundraiser ends today. Just check your email throughout the day.
We've got a couple of exciting announcements! Peregrine has come in again as an executive producer of Season 3!The Peregrine Glove is an amazing tactile accessory for gamers to be able to control their game using just their hands without a keyboard. Offering faster reaction times and precise control, we are incredibly happy to welcome them aboard the team again. You might remember when they made an appearance in Season 3 when the Ronin fought Ki Swan:
We can't wait to see how they'll be integrated this season. Make sure to check out their website at: http://theperegrine.com/
Also at the Co-Producer level we are happy to welcome LanGGPro (Lan Gaming Group Pro!) who are going to be outfitting our FPS teams with custom jerseys so VGHS and Napalm Energy Drink can compete in style! Their products include tons of custom gaming gear in all different styles. Look for their distinct mark this season 3 for our FPS and other teams! Check out their Twitter at: https://twitter.com/LanggPro
Now that we've broken the $800,000 mark, we've passed our stretch goal and we WILL be professionally translating and subtitling VGHS Season 3 in as many languages as we can - French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and more! Thank you all for your support and we hope to end this campaign with a bang. Check out the archived livestream from last night at:
And finally, here's a little teaser image of what nefariousness is to come next season... any guesses as to what this means?
Video Game High School is a series set in an alternate reality
where professional video gaming becomes the biggest spectator sport in
the world. It follows Brian D, an aspiring pro gamer who lands an
invitation to VGHS, the most prestigious gaming academy in the world.
Think Hogwarts, but instead of spells and magic wands, it's headshots and IBM Model M keyboards!
Over the last three years, we have successfully crowdfunded two seasons of VGHS, which can be found on our site Rocketjump.com and YouTube.com/RocketJump
Now, in 2014, the series has received over 65 million views and is available on Blu-Ray, DVD, iTunes, Netflix, as well as Xbox and PS3, and was recently named "The Best Webseries of 2013" by Variety.
If you haven't seen it yet, click here to check out Season 1, and here to check out Season 2.
Here is the breakdown of what you get in each of our reward tiers:
Just like last time, all of these rewards are EXCLUSIVE to this campaign - all the art, designs, and items are unique to IndieGoGo funders ONLY, which means this is your only chance to own some of this rad swag!
Season Three will be directed by Matt Arnold (writer, showrunner for Seasons One and Two) and Freddie Wong (co-creator of the RocketJump YouTube channel).
Season Three will also feature the writing talents of Will Campos (Seasons One and Two), Brian Firenzi (Seasons One and Two, co-creator of 5secondfilms.com), and Jake Andrews (co-creator rubydog189 YouTube channel).
Get ready for the final level of the show about best friends, first loves, and landing that perfect headshot. In VGHS: THE FINAL SEASON, Brian, Jenny, Ted and Ki face their biggest challenges and fiercest enemies yet.
The race for Class President heats up as Ki battles Machiavellian RTS player Shane Pizza in an election rife with bribery, extortion, and outright cat theft. Will the dirty game of politics cost Ki her integrity—especially after betrayal in her own campaign threatens to undo everything she's fought for?
Finally public with their blossoming relationship, Brian and Jenny are closer than ever as they gear up for a playoffs showdown against Napalm Energy Drink High School. But when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity knocks for Jenny, everything will change. Can they face the coming storm and take their team to the championships? Or will tough choices, hurt feelings, and Napalm Captain Ashley Barnstormer bring their dreams crashing down?
Reeling from his broken friendship with Brian, a wounded Ted moves in with the Drift Racers and embraces their hell-raising ways full throttle. It's detention, bar fights, and joyrides galore— until a tragedy strikes that rocks Ted, his friends, and the entire school to their core.
The Law™ is having one refreshing, flavor-packed, game-slamming time at Napalm™ Energy Drink High. In no way is he about to discover that he's a slave to a massively powerful corporation, with sinister designs on VGHS that go far deeper than anyone could have expected. The Law™ would also like to remind you to get energized by blasting a can of new Napalm™ Baja Berry Crantini Thunder. DRINK NAPALM!
It all ends here: in six episodes, SCHOOL IS OUT. FOREVER. Join us one last time as we take this web series out in an EPIC BLAZE OF GLORY that will have you laughing, crying, cheering, and staring into space as you have the sobering realization that nothing in real life will ever be as cool as…
We're asking for $750,000. This is more than we have asked for in the past, but we know this will let us achieve the quality we want to in order to close this show properly.
We think that crowd funding is instrumental for small indie content creators like ourselves and we believe in complete transparency, so we put our Season One AND Season Two cost breakdown online where anyone can see it (Click here to view Season One and here to view Season Two).
Season 1 (for the complete figures click here)
Season 2 (for the complete figures click here)
Why crowdfund this project?
The decision to launch a third crowdfunding campaign for a series that has already been successful was not undertaken lightly. There are a number of considerations we took into full account before launching this campaign:
1. VGHS, while much cheaper than a network television show to produce, is still an expensive show that simply cannot be funded by any single online source.
For every season of VGHS, our Kickstarter/crowdfunding campaign was NOT the sole source of funding - each season was funded with a mix of private investment, personal investment, brand deals, and crowdfunding. We break down every dollar we spend on VGHS and release that breakdown publically online and we plan on doing this again for Season 3.
For Season 2, Dodge stepped in to become an automobile sponsor, which paid for a significant portion of our show. However, for Season 3, Dodge declined to renew their sponsorship at the last minute, placing greater importance on our other funding models. While we all would have loved to have crowdfunding be a bonus and not a necessity, the reality of being on the cutting edge of content financing models means that we have to roll with the punches and be flexible.
2. We've received a lot of requests for a 3rd season campaign.
Each season we grow the audience of VGHS fans, and one of the most common things we see on our YouTube channel and social media pages is "When can I support Season Three!?"
We felt it was important to be inclusive to all the new fans who have only recently discovered the show. Additionally, because all the items and rewards we offer here are exclusive to this campaign (i.e. you won't be able to buy any of this stuff on our store), this campaign gives people a chance to get their hands on exclusive stuff, while simultaneously supporting the project.
This is the final season, and we want it to be the biggest and best VGHS it can be, so we've created some group stretch goals to put this show over the top. These goals will benefit EVERYONE.
$800,000 - LANGUAGES! Season Three professionally translated and subtitled in as many languages as we can - French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and more!
$900,000 - VGHS SWAG BAG! A fun grab bag of stickers, a keychain, temporary tattoos, and a wristband.
$1,000,000 - ULTIMATE DOWNLOAD PACK! You get digital downloads of the soundtrack from all three seasons (including The Law's debut EP), director's cut high-res digital downloads of ALL three seasons (including Season 3 in 4K if your computer can handle it), as well as a digital art pack.
$1,250,000- THE ULTIMATE DREAM! VGHS anime intro, complete with anime theme song, anime cherry blossoms, and fansubs explaining every obscure Japanese linguistic reference in the lyrics (We are totally serious about this).
$1,500,000- THEATRICAL SCREENINGS! We take this show on the road! We go to five cities in the continental U.S. and screen Season Three theatrically.
We believe we're on the verge of a creative revolution - the
intersection of independent and capable content creators with a system
for an audience to fund projects means that, for the first time in film
history, the gatekeepers of content have been made obsolete. We as
creators can be supported by our audience.
If you are in Europe, you will need to pay VAT taxes on what we're shipping to you.

Viral Video: 14-Year-Old Boy Says 'Obama Makes Kids Gay'
A YouTube video of a precocious 14-year-old radio host from West Virginia went viral this week after he made homophobic comments saying that being gay is a choice and that President Obama is making children around the country gay because of his support for marriage equality.
Caiden Cowger's homophobic rhetoric drew hundreds of thousands of viewers to his YouTube clip. The video shows the teen, who hosts the "Caiden Cowger" Internet radio show twice a week, telling his listeners that he is disgusted by watching his friends "turn to" homosexuality, which he says is a choice that Obama encourages, the New York Daily News reported.
"They are encouraging kids to think, 'Well, you know what? They're talking about being a homosexual and they're saying there's nothing wrong with being gay, so you know what, I think I might try that out for a little bit," Cowger said. "That is what's going on!"
He then goes on to say that Obama is advocating young boys and girls to "become" gay and that the president should be warning youth to turn away from homosexuality. He adds that he doesn't believe in bullying his gay friends and classmates, however.
"We've got about 30 teenagers in this county that I'm at that are homosexuals ... and it is sickening," he said.
"When you're trying to teach them the word of God and they consider that bullying ... I find that a big problem, not being allowed to convert other people to my religion," he said.

Jerusalem was originally a pagan city; the first inhabitants are variously described as Amorites, Canaanites, Jebusites, and Hittites (v. 45; Gen. 10:15, 16; Josh. 10:5; Judg. 1:21; 19:10; 2 Sam. 5:6). In this respect the city was not unlike the patriarchs, who were of pagan Syrian stock (Deut. 26:5; Josh. 24:14).

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT of THE MONTH - OCTOBER 2015 - KLARA KELLY
Klara Kelly is the brainchild of fitness expert and Massachusetts resident, Melissa Sherwood. Her fitness apparel and signature product the non-slip headband scarf are all made in the USA, fit great and withstand a rugged workout. Sherwood came up with the idea of the headband scarf because she could never find a headband that would not slip when she was teaching classes. After consulting with many of her students she confirmed this was source of annoyance for many athletes and busy women who were in a never-ending search of a headband that was not only stylish and comfortable, but would also stay in place during a workout or when they were jumping from here to there with work or kids.
Shortly after Melissa created the headband scarf, she received numerous emails from customers that had purchased the headband because they were suffering from hair loss due to a number of different conditions. One customer in particular had Alopecia and commented that the Klara Kelly Headband Scarf had "changed her life". It was at that moment that Melissa realized that she had a product that was not only functional for fitness but it also served as a credible product for those experiencing hair loss. Melissa was humbled by this and is proud to serve.
You can purchase her products at www.klarakelly.com. Simply choose NAAF as your sales source at checkout.
