Nintendo Exec Confirms Force Feedback for Revmote…Maybe

Use the Force...Feedback

In an interview with an internet radio station, Nintendo of Canada’s Director of Marketing, Pierre-Paul Trepanier, confirmed that the Revmote will feature force feedback and that “[Nintendo] will show more at E3″. The interview was conducted in French, so whether or not he was referring only to a rumble feature or something more complex is up to interpretation. I would imagine he was referring only to the standard rumble feature. Of course, Nintendo has yet to reveal the other “big secret” about the Revolution, so who knows?

SEGA Announces Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz for Revolution

Posted in 8bN E3 '06 Coverage, News, Revolution on April 26th, 2006
How do they get the bananas from inside a ball?

In SEGA’s second day of pre-E3 press releases, it has announced a new Super Monkey Ball title for the Nintendo Revolution. Among the new features is the ability for the monkeys to jump by flicking the Revmote upward. There was no confirmation on how the rest of the game will be controlled, only that Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz will take advantage of the Revolution’s abilities. I’m really excited to see what else SEGA has up its sleeve for E3. It’s shaping up to be a big year for games.
