Industry News | AOL & Nintendo Aim for First Revolution [news]

I was about to post this in a few minutes, it's excellent stuff indeed! Great promotion.

Lucky sod that wins...

Is it America only? I'm entering if not, but I bet it is. Gits.

Hmm...maybe that whole Nintendo and AOL working together wasn't so far-fetched after all.... :p

Aho! I will win, just you see Nah, but certainly sounds like a freaking amazing competition! The winner will probably explode his/her/its pants!

They should have a first aid team and/or mop on standby to clean up during the proceedings.

Just what exactly are Nintendo up to?
This console must seriously kick ass if they're pulling stunts like this!

True - huge risk (what if the person outright shouts 'this is shite' on stage in front of the world's media?), so they evidently think they have something REALLY special if they're taking a chance like this.

Nintendo is d000med!

They won't, if they know what's good for them

WHAT!? Over 18's only? WHAT!? US residents only? Thanks a lot Jesusraz, I had my hopes up so high

EDIT: Also, I wonder what game they will be playing? Maybe Metroid Prime 3! Ooh, a little bit of wee came out just then

I reckon it'll be a Mario demo or Miyamoto's new IP.

Going to make a LOT of people very jealous come E3 (even more so than ususal)!

And so the Nintendo/AOL friendship steps up another notch. I hope they give the winner some playing time with the console before they go on stage...otherwise he/she might look like a bit of a twit in front of a whole lot of people.

Oh, and this also confirms that the Revolution will be played on public show for the first time ever, neat!

From what we've heard about the Rev, it's very natural to pick up and play from the off. Perhaps we'll be surprised how many gamers think they're better than they are all of a sudden Mr. T

FRELL

Only for Bloody yanks

18 over only and US i hate you nintendo for ifgnoring the UK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not like it's the only country in the world getting ignored. Europeans will get their chance.

Yea...The Congo is getting just as ignored as you, as is Japan. It isn't as feasable to fly somebody from Europe to LA as it is from the US.

Man, I'd love to win this. I'd be happy enough to just go on the trip, even if I wasn't the one picked to play the Revolution. That and I'd probably have such a huge case of stage fright I wouldn't be able to hold to the controller properly... talk about 15 years of gaming down the drain

Just a slight off topic note, why is Nintendo and AOL a good thing? Do they want to seem even more kiddy?

Since when is AOL 'kiddy'?

AOL is basically designed for parents to ban their kids from shit and make it as simpel as possible to use. They are the most bullshit ISP around... have u even seen the browser they try to make u use?
