Nintendo of America's George Harrison has stated there should be a healthy number of launch titles for the Revolution...

Interviewed by Game Informer Magazine Senior Vice President of Marketing and Corporate Communication at Nintendo America George Harrison said there would be approximately twenty titles for the console's launch, a third of which would come from Nintendo - certainly a higher proportion than most Nintendo consoles so far.

However, lessons have apparently been learnt from the GameCube this generation. "We recognized... that you really make your reputation in the first year. You've got to deliver software, not just at launch, but you've got to deliver software in the first six to nine months after launch. It has to be solid software," Harrison stated. "In GameCube, we didn't have that, we had kind of a drought for six months after it launched. By that time your reputation starts to solidify and it's hard to reverse that after awhile."

Harrison also commented on what would be in the Revolution box on launch day. One free-hand controller and nunchucku are confirmed, though a second controller is apparently also being considered. Comparing the system's price point to that of the Xbox 360's, he commented that "our goal is to come in at a slightly more mass market price."

There'll be lots more to come as E3 draws nearer!
