Jeg tror det er ekstrem bullshit. Ingen designer ville laget en så kjedelig og generisk produktprofil. Hvorfor er det USB-kontakter på en hjemmekonsoll? Hvorfor stikker det noe et kort ut av maskinen, som umulig kan være festet i noe? Finishen på selve konsollen ser ut som dårlig, koreansk produktdesign. Hvorfor skulle noen ville lage en prototype med slikt utseende? En prototype er en kasse med biter oppi.
Nintendo Revolution-ryktetråd

Fyren som kom med disse bildene har blitt møtt med mange av de samme spørsmålene som har blitt stilt nå, så han gikk derfor og spurte "kilden" sin. Han fikk noen svar:
Men jeg er helt enig i at dette ganske så sikkert bare er oppspinn. Det mest fellende beviset mot, er at det står en ® bak Revolution. Nintendo har ikke registrert navnet Revolution.
Og forresten. Det har visst dukket opp enda flere "bilder" av Revolution. Denne gangen ser den ut som en hybrid av PS1 og Dreamcast.

Den logoen ser ut som en raskt gjennomgått tutorial i Photoshop. Håper inderlig ikke den blir så stygg.
Når det gjelder maskinen håper jeg på at den blir utrolig revolusjonerende. Men ikke at den er så hi-tech vi bruker stemmen og flytter oss rundt i rommet for og spille. Blir liksom litt for mye. Kan jo ikke spille på senga liksom.
Nei, jeg håper den blir revolusjonerende, men ikke for mye.

Well, after reading through yesterday’s posts and seeing that a couple of you were already pretty damn warm, I figured it was time to put an end to ‘dancing the cooch’ and just give up the goods. As you’ve read in the last couple of posts, I’ve yapped with journalists and developers who are pretty confident regarding some of the Revolution’s features. I had been hearing about these bits and bobs for months, but as a diehard Nintendo fan there was nothing to really spark my passion - especially considering the Cube’s lacklustre software showing several YEARS into its life cycle. But, for the sake of the lazy multitudes, here’s a quick feature recap:
GYROSCOPIC CONTROL: Several sources have suggested that the new control scheme will SUPPORT positional shifts a la Kirby’s Tilt ‘n’ Tumble. This means that not EVERY game will require you to pull a Pisa, but that Nintendo is championing the integration of this feature into at least one of their launch games. Talking with several developers, we agreed that this could work well for navigation games and maybe some sports experiences…but it’s nothing they’d be eager to program for.
TOUCHSCREEN INTEGRATION: I’ve heard from more than one reputable source that either a DS style touchscreen or an actual proprietary PDA device with be part of the new controller. As you discussed yesterday in COMMENTS, this makes sense with Nintendo’s technology partners, the creation of the DS, and Nintendo’s push towards ‘tactile’ experiences. Not a hard thing to program for and most likely a smart move, as Microsoft and PS3 will almost assuredly support some sort of integrated screen/handheld configuration.
WIRELESS: I popped up some clues yesterday regarding what I’ve heard about their wireless plans, and can most assuredly state that the unit will ship with wireless controllers like X-Box 2. But as IGN and others have pointed out, Nintendo’s pushing hard with their wireless technology and partnerships, and my sources support that it will go well beyond mere controller connection and into the realm of some serious data transfer: touchscreen/pda and machine, player-to-player, Rev to DS, Rev to PC, and Rev to Rev (both in-home and with locally based wireless ‘tribes’).
Okay. No major revelations there, but I bet its got you thinking about future game design and interactive potential, yes? Yes…but for me, the first twinge of excitement regarding this machine didn’t come until the final pieces of the long-rumoured DISPLAY puzzle fell into place:
- the IGN boys posted this regarding a patent for Nintendo’s upcoming display technology, which I linked to a few days ago. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to glean that this conceptually portrays a form of 3D image projection.
- at a major film conference called ShoWest just last month, a panel featuring George Lucus, Robert Zemekis, James Cameron, Robert Rodriguez, and a satellite feed from Peter Jackson has studio reps, journalists, and theatre owners seriously jazzed about their plans to integrate cheap digital stereoscopic 3D (like recent IMAX features or the oldschool Captain EO experience at Epcot) into ALL major chains by 2007. Lucas even showed several minutes of the original STAR WARS with remapped visuals that popped off the screen and hovered in front of audience members. When an agent friend of mine was chatting with Rodriguez (there to pump Sin City and discuss his experiences with Spy Kids 3D), he mentioned how they were aware of a game machine beating them to the mainstream 3D market.
- the next day, I contacted another strangely influential industry pal/pundit and shared my thesis purely for fun’s sake (and perhaps some extremely lame bragging rights). The final shiny block of tetrisy knowledge slid into place when he excitedly shared the following - that the Big N had shown a real-time 3D add-on for Gamecube behind closed doors…AT LAST YEAR’S E3. It has since gone MIA. This is the sound of four rows dropping.
More details and potential software discussion to follow…for now, I’m eager to hear YOUR thoughts. How will stereoscopic 3D gaming usher in the ‘Revolution’ that Nintendo has been trumpeting? Will it end up nothing more than a Virtual Boy style gimmick, or will custom 3D glasses become the big fashion accessory of 2007 and beyond? With graphics chip codenames like Hollywoood and Broadway, does this signal Nintendo’s plans to make more cinematic games that mimic the upcoming 3D theatrical experience? If (and, from what I’m hearing, this will be a VERY big IF) Nintendo shows their hand at this year’s E3 by giving everyone at their annual press conference a pair of 3D glasses to wear, will players care?

Forsåvidt en god del gamle spekulasjoner her, men uansett interessant å lese.
Det hadde ihvertfall kicka en god del arsle om det var sant. Den 3D teknologien han snakker om er en av de få som faktisk fungerer nogenlunde praktisk. Ikke blir man sliten i øya av det og man slipper å fokusere intenst på bildet for at det skal funke.
Hadde et par 3D briller til PCen for omtrent hundre år siden som brukte samme prinsippet (støtta spill som Doom og Descent) og det eneste problemet med de var at de veide omtrent 3 kilo. (men det var fordi de hadde skjermer og et gyroskop innebygd.)

What we heard:
Hot on the heels of last week's rumor that the Revolution might include 3D technology is a rebuttal saying that it won't. It comes courtesy of an anonymous former Nintendo employee who is now developing games for his former employer's next-generation console. Besdies trashing the 3D rumors, the ex-Nintendite reveals many features about the console. He--or she--says that the Revolution will have wireless, pressure-sensitive controllers that will add a new level of force feedback. "It will be sort of like controlling a game with one of those stress balls," said the source. "You squeeze it and you go faster." The source also said that the Revolution "will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far" and come with wireless headsets. He also said that the Revolution will come with an online service superior to Xbox Live--but totally free. "The only way I can describe it is as an internet service," said the poster. "Imagine turning it on and checking your mail on the system. You see previews and demos of DS and Revolution games that you can download. A magazine similar to Nintendo Power will be exclusive to the system, and you will be able to access it on the Revolution’s homepage." The source also said that besides Nintendo, which has at least seven next-gen titles in development, Capcom, Namco, EA, Sega, Zoonami, and Activision are all currently working on Revolution titles. However, the poster remained coy about what the exact "Revolution" would be. "I’m not going to tell you the revolutionary aspect of the system. Nintendo has some cool pre E3 plans for that."

Jepp, jepp. Litt mere rykter her, ja. Denne gangen fra DBs Spillblog.
Flere enn meg som har lyst til å begynne å spekulere i at Revolution og Xbox 360 ser veldig like ut? Kanskje litt multi-platform XNA development? Også med gratis onlinespill providet av GameSpy dah ... så trist. Kanskje Nintendo faktisk kommer til å rocke kåken denne gangen?

Ja...hvis ryktene stemmer så er det jo store likheter mellom Xbox 360 og Revolution:
-begge bruker en IBM multicore G5-baserte PowerPC-prosessor
-begge bruker ATI grafikkort med on-board eDRAM
-begge vil ha 512 MB delt minne
De høres nærmest krysskompatible ut...Kanskje Nintendo og MS i hemmelig samarbeid har laget en felles utviklingsstandard (XNA)? Nintendo og MS sammen vil i alle fall gi PS3 skikkelig konkurranse (alle som kjenner til Sony vet at de omtrent aldri føyer seg til standarder). Kanskje vel mye ekstrapolering fra min side nå, men det er en interessant tanke...

Da er det klart at Revolution vil bruke standard DVD-er som lagringsmedium. Maskinen vil også være veldig liten, og den vil bruke trådløse kontroller som standard.

BREAKING!
Jeg har nettopp snublet over en video som virker veldig interessant. Videoen kan lastes ned her.
Scroll ned på siden og trykk der det står "Free" (med mindre du vil registrere deg og betale). Så må du vente i ett minutt eller så før du får lastet ned filmen, det står nederst på siden hvor lenge man må vente.
Kan dette være ekte? Videoen virker veldig troverdig. Se selv og bedøm.
