hspace="4" border="0" align="right" src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/2006/03/onm1-nextmonthjoy.jpg" alt="" />The
Revolution Lifestyle has posted a preview snippet of the UK’s Official Nintendo Magazine. The preview
implies that the next issue, due out March 16, will reveal new information on Zelda: Twilight Princess in the
form of screenshots and additional game details.

One can hope, but wasn’t it the Official Nintendo
Mag
that said the Revolution
stand was also a power supply
? Yeah, it was. Silly "production errors." But let’s hope they get this one
right.

OSS Election Systems Desired, but Not Ready

Monday, March 6th, 2006

An anonymous reader writes “Even though many American voters are ready for open source systems at the polls, Newsforge (a Slashdot sister site) has an interesting story about why open source may not be ready for the polls. From the article: ‘The only open source e-voting effort that Rubin [an e-voting expert] noted was the Open Voting Consortium (OVC). “I don’t agree with everything they are doing, but they are all about transparency and open source,” Rubin said. OVC President and CEO Alan Dechert says it would take a large investment of time and money to provide an alternative to traditional e-voting systems vendors, but he says an effort known as Open Voting Solutions (OVS) is looking to do just that.’”

UK game industry types talk Revolution

GamesIndustry.biz has a feature that
follows in the grand tradition of asking game developers to wax thoughtful on Nintendo’s revolutionary Revolution
system and, most interestingly, how it will differentiate itself from the Gamecube’s lackluster retail presence. />
Relentless Software’s Andrew Eades said, "Gamers in the
know will buy a Revolution as a 2nd machine to play another Miyamoto classic, but the mainstream consumer needs
something less abstract to latch onto. The Revolution must be both niche and mainstream." Our entirely href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/23/poll-results-next-gen-combo-platters/">informal poll indicated a plurality
of gamers were not only interested in getting the Revolution as a second choice in a next-gen combo platter, but were
also interested in getting the console as their primary gaming system.

href="http://www.frontier.co.uk/">Frontier Developments‘ David Braben says, "There is also a potential
downside - assuming it is a huge success, it could be a pyrrhic victory; I am not convinced that others - third or
first parties - can’t offer similar styles of controller for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, eroding the Revolution’s
advantage." Think SplitFish whose href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/18/splitfish-were-not-copying-the-revolution-controller/">DualFX controller,
though it may not be a copy of the Revolution controller, offers a similar interface. There’s already rumors that href="http://www.revolutionfanboy.com/2006/02/27/sony-working-on-revolution-killer/">Sony and href="http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/03/02/xbox-360-camera-eyes-eyetoy/">Microsoft are working on similar
functionality for their respective systems; is Nintendo’s final trump card going to be enough to keep competition at
bay?

[Thanks, The1]
