Scary part could be closer to the truth if you were to believe the publicy of where they said specs dont matter and they may never publish them publicly… Heres hoping they tell us :)

I hope they don’t release the specs. It might matter more for PS3 or Xbox, but Nintendo for me is about games…..and no matter what the specs are, they will make some fantastic games for the revolution.
I don’t even know the Xbox specs for christs sake!(seriously). I look at the games. If they are good I buy it. -

Nokia acquires Gizmondo (Gizmondo), Tapwave (Zodiac) and Gamepark Industry (GP32, GP2X) IP on the cheap and quiet, and has another crack at it.
Having smacked SONY one in the mouth with 360, Microsoft readies the other first and, surprising everybody and their dogs, announces that they will release a portable console by Xmas 2007, codename Y-Fronts.
Jakks Pacific releases an AES version of their TV plug-in product, a full-size AES stick containing a dozen of the best-known Neo Geo titles, including Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble, Fatal Fury and Samurai Showdown.
GTA:Streets of Tallaght attracts, again surprisingly enough, Jack Thompson’s vengeful scorn and enough media coverage for Dublin to eventually bootstrap the Irish videogame industry, where the next big-selling genre across all platforms is invented. Needless to say, the game reaches summums of gore and violence, and the success for it which JT caused so paradoxically leads him to end his futile media-grabbing antics with a fairly bad rendition of Spiderman/Superman superpowers, when he jumps from the top of the Needle…

Programmers complain about their artist friends getting tax breaks. Irish government does a u-turn. -
An Irish company publishes a non-mobile game :)

Now that would be something.
Its a pity though the gaming industry within Ireland is so small.

Don’t get me started on the “amazing” outside (within Ireland) support to the Irish Games Industry in helping it grow. Scotland put their money where their mouth is & unless many changes happen soon enough to follow their model or something like will only leave the PC / Console industry further & further behind to where its next (if not already in its way) to nothing of breaking out of this country, never mind internationaly just yet.
Hopefully very soon we might just see a non-mobile game published from an Irish studio (if not 2). Both won’t be the ground breaking titles that will set the world on fire but its far better than nothing.
Just my own thoughts on this which i have a strong passion for regarding our industry.

Pete pleading for Hoff to be set free? It might almost be worth dropping subtle hints that H0ff could be unbanned :)

Irish companies have to start somewhere don’t they? Mobile games are big business. Any realistic non-mobile prospects next year?
