<strong>Revolution's ATI 'R520' Graphics & Controller "Pleasantly Surprising"</strong> <img src="/images/Gamecube.jpg" alt="Gamecube" width="8" height="8">

<P align=center><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG style="WIDTH: 500px; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="Nintendo's Revolution" hspace=0 src="http://www.ragol.co.uk/uploads/nintendorevolution_banner.png" align=baseline border=1></FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The current German Games Conference is fast becoming the E3 for Europe, as with every passing day, something new comes about. What have we got for you today? Well with&nbsp;the recent&nbsp;blowing's about the Xbox 360, we thought we'd give you some info about the Nintendo Revolution. We already know it backwards compatable (So you can still enjoy the Gamecube <EM>Episodes I, II</EM> &amp; <EM>III</EM>!), will have a lot of online gaming aspects including the back catalogue download service, etc etc. Aparently we'll know a lot more about the Revolution very soon indeed, hopefully regarding a little more info on technical aspects, and that controller everyone keeps talking about, which will 'make or break' the Revolution it would seem!</FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Everyones talking about it, and </FONT><A href="http://nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com/"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com </FONT></A><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">recently grabbed a quick word with that guy we all know and love from SEGA's side, Yuji Naka, in Germany about what he thought to the Nintendo Revolutions controller.</FONT></P><P align=center><EM><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">"I am under a strict NDA, so I can´t really say much. But I have seen the Revolution and I think everyone will be very pleasantly surprised, when Nintendo reveal everything."</FONT></EM></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">While proving that he and more of SEGA have seen this new 'revolutionary' controller, it's a shame he can't say more really, but of course, it's nice to see that SEGA themselves, including the likes of Sonic Team's Yuji Naka seems to be taking a liking to the 'new way to play'. nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com will be posting more about the mini-interview so to speak in the coming days so we'll bring some more to you then. That's not all the news we've got though...</FONT></P><P align=center><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG alt="What's possible with Revolutions 'ATI R520'" hspace=0 src="/uploads/news_images/19_08_05_01.jpg" align=baseline border=1></FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">What's that picture of? Well they've been revealed by french gaming website JeuxVideo.com, and all bear the logo's of graphics chip producer ATI and <EM>Metroid Prime</EM> developers Retro Studio's. As you can tell by the shots, they've all been pre-rendered so to speak, but is this showing off the possibilities of the Nintendo Revolution? The graphics chip of which these effects come from is the 'ATI R520' so its been named on these images. Interesting since the Xbox 360 is believed to be made with 'ATI R500' graphics chips. I won't say anything until it's confirmed however, which again should be soon if we believe Ninty's word!</FONT></P><P align=left><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">For more news and&nbsp;images (There's four or five of them) on this issue, click over to </FONT><A href="http://www.jeuxvideo.com/forums/1-62-148213-1-0-1-0-0.htm"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Jeux Video's forums</FONT></A><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">, or view the english translations again on </FONT><A href="http://nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com/"><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com</FONT></A><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">.</FONT></P>
