Nintendo Revolution: What we know

by Peter Rojas { May 17th 2005 at 2:20PM }

Alright, Nintendo intro'd the Revolution just a few minutes ago, here's what we know so far:

Release is sometime in 2006.
Prototype shown is larger than final unit.
Nintendo is still determining final colors for the console.
All-Access Gaming, which refers to backwards compatibility to 20 years of Nintendo games, NES, SNES, N64. We don't know particulars of how it'll be accessed or what, if any, the cost structure might be.
Downloadable to 512MB of flash memory.
SD memory card slot.
Wireless controllers.
Two USB 2.0 ports.
Built-in WiFi.
WiFi used to interface with the DS.
DS likely to enhance future games.
Self-loading optical drive that will play 12cm Revolution discs and smaller GameCube discs
Self-contained attachment for playing media content, including DVDs.
No controller was shown. So even though the box looks a lot like the one leaked over the weekend, the accompanying controllers were not presented. So was it a leak, or a really good guess?

Wait.

So what you're saying is, Mr. Calleo, is that you're from England, and all England people don't put in full stops if they have an education.

I'd say something about how full stops =/= education, but really now - you should know that. You have an education.

It lies within ...a space*...of four dimensions

a cordial invitation has been cast out across the electromagnetic spectrum* that binds all..

all energy is bound by this time and the clock* has reached 00:00:00 ON Sep 16 2005 and the resets will disrupt the memories that elluded us

aloft on these bandwiths* of nothingness...away with your dual HD connections...

... ..but if.. .

...what if.. .

at 00:00:00 ...we saw it. .. the blu* light

...what if.. . within that space..for a split second of a micro* second, we could define a point...singular...for each reference*. Then would we need seven..? .the white one gives seven...? we need not seven...we have gone past seven

You feel* it don't you ..the six await* and four are aware* ...and the informer* that cannot be trusted has unveiled itself...3* months ago it had learned to walk the way*...

and today...on the twilight* of the veil of vast unkown...it has stood still..and stared and they know it is here...for the green one is weak*, and the white one is despearte...upon a single line of 7*. ..that does nothing but float*.. and a fused pipe* ..better but not ingenious...

at 00:00:00 the 12* configurations* will have aligned into one...and its creator will speak forth

and the sensai of the dojo will place the official seal of quality* across the silver screen*

and you will know

and you will see..

the coming of the future...

you will see...

BOOOOOOOYYYYYY, I tell ya folks, we get all kinds of people here, LOL : )

calleao, as much as I'm also a fellow UKean, ( and I want to so badly help you out here on this forum board) I can't. You say ' suck nintendodogs ' this, ' fuck nintendo ' that, 'go ps', is this all your arguements on? word to the wise, retire from this bro, if you can't argue YOUR case on WHY YOU THINK NINTENDO ' SUCKS' then what the heck are you over this site and not one of playstation's site then ?

Don't let him wind you lot up.

RevPatentLeaker, you sure know how to get a crowd smiling. : )
WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU ON?????? nothing bad, but man, have you seen the machine yet?

Reply back , please.

I don't know if anybody's posted it yet, but neowin says that the rev's controller, hardware, and super mario 128 will be unveiled sept. 16

NergiZed @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Apparently noone cares. I'm gonna wait, just like I did a couple months back for E3 05, yet nothing. Although I will still anticipate for this upcoming event, the power of curiousity and the generated hype makes me want to see the unvealing of the revolution controller and it's other specs as soon as possible. I will be gusrding the comupter on that(those) day(s) for this supposed 'gaming revolution' to commence, yet ,maybe, once again, nothing.

youngmoses @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

well let see here guys.... I seriously love nintendo for all their efforts into the land of innovation. I currently own all of nintys systems and it looks like the rev will be next. i dont know why everyone is so biased towards nintendo...heck, everyone should thank them for introducing their remarkable franchises; mario, zelda , kong, pikmin, and the list goes on! seriously people, nintendo continues to and forever will be a GAMING company that is true to video game players out there. I dont know what sony or ms are up to, but a whole bunch of contraptions on your system shouldnt make a video game better. I really dont get it....im in it to play and play games is what i will do. once again, I salute nintendo for what they are doing for their community and you should too. hurrah for nintendo!!! they shall live in the hearts of true gamers for life.

I get the same thing, I learned to ignore them.

NergiZed @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Although I think it has something to do with going backwards, ya know, when you click the "back" button on the top left hand corner of your screen.

J @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Its hard to imagine but how could hologenetic software enhance game ( if that is the case).

I DO reckon that this time round nintendo may get it right ( not that there was anything wrong with the gamecube, a wicked piece of kit) but they have heard the cries of the public upon ' maturity ' and ' up dating their image ' in the wake of todays changing society. During the 16 bit era you only had Sega and Nintendo. It was easy for developers to create for either one and generate simplistic styles games. I suppose for me I do get tiny bit bitter on some developers that leap from a success platform to another. Square soft ( Square Enix now) leaving Nintendo in favor for Sony I felt was a treachous move, who knows how many Nintendo 64 units could have been sold with the strengths of Final Fantasy as well as Dragon Quest games alone, still they came back with their heads between their hairy ass legs. Too many developers are so dam self consience about whether they can deliever good games. Developers in a sense do have a controll of the kinds of games they develop in the end altering peoples public opion upon a systems console.

( The Only good thing that came of that era was the coming of Rare bringing to us perhaps the best games on the planet during that time)

No need to mention Nintendo in this catagory, they are the Don on teaching, schooling EVERY one on how creativity is done

Anyway, sorry for that rant folks.

Nintendo Are going to reveal something that will REVOLUTIONIZE how we all play games. Sony and MS are still on that same tune of making games so like to play it safe by up dating the graphics and adding features that attracts people who want more from their systems then what is primary important ............. GAMES.( A chicken shit-ass move buy adding multiple features but in the end must realize that they are catering to hard core gamers who deserve to experience something much, MUCH more)

Nintendo are an expert at this and want to take it to the next level. They want YOU to experience something that hasn't been done, so If both Sony and MS offer more or less the same things Nintendo are more or less Saying ' were going this route, if your interested follow us '. They are risk takers that at least have the bare faced balls to take chances on wild ideas and crazy concepts that when won over by their audience would only be stolen by their competitors, however the outcome ( never ever had the chance to play the virtual boy when it was realeased, shame that. )

Nes - the contoller ( A & B buttons)

Snes - Shoulder buttons

Nintendo 64 - The anolog stick, Camera views and Rumble pack

Gamecube - Anolog buttons

Revolution - ?????????

A change is going to happen again, FOR THE BETTER!!!!

peace out good folk : )

GT @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

No, sorry. I think that Nintendo is awesome. I was just speaking to Nintendo is for Kids.

edward @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

honestly i think that the revolution seem's hot but uncol in the way of the old games. When will nintendo come with some real rpg games, actions games, no friking kids or babies games they will never beat the ps 3 or xbox 360 beacuse of the woozy games. i hope they made kicking ass games not the same as re-doing the old games with better graphic. i want new shit ight and ps3 seems like is hot

AncientsegA @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Sega hands down had the best game franchises. Sonic
will always be a badass front runner with attitude. Sega needs to get it's
act together and resurrect Toe Jam and Earl, Kid Camelean, Golden Axe,
StarControl, SubTerrainia, and Bubsy. Bubsy was a pimp; he had a Nerf
Ballzooka and a watersuit. Nothing holds a candle to Bubsy. StarControl
and SubTerrainia were games ahead of thier time. I can only imagine how
they could enhance the graphics and game play of games like that.
StarControl was the best. You had RPG, RTS, and First person shooter all in
one, you had a role to play, while you tried to strategize your
expansion over the whole galaxy, and you used the first person shooter in
actual battles. It had everything in one.

nostradamus @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

First off, pleast stop the pathetic theorizing on holographic gaming. No way, no how, not today. Maybe 2 console generations away.

Interesting claims the RevPatentLeaker makes after blah, blah, blahing about September 16th.
"the white one gives seven...? we need not seven...we have gone past seven" - the PS3 will allow for 7 controllers but the Revolution will allow for MORE ... like 10:
"the six await* and four are aware* ...and the informer* that cannot be trusted has unveiled itself" - talking about the 360, 4 controllers are aware, but 6 "await" playing.

"for the green one is weak*, and the white one is despearte...upon a single line of 7*. ..that does nothing but float*.. and a fused pipe* ..better but not ingenious" - calls the 360 "weak" and the Cell processor "better but not ingenious". I don't agree with the CPU power argument (system power is far more relevant) but this infers that the Revolution CPU can do more than 1 teraflop (360) but not 2 teraflops (PS3).

"12* configurations* will have aligned into one" - the controller has 12 configurations.

I guess we'll all find out on the 16th. So far I think, RevPatentLeaker has claimed 10 gyroscopic controllers with 12 possible configurations for the controllers and a system that has a CPU performance better than the 360 but not as good as the PS3. The latest point is irrelevant since developers are finding it far easier to code for the 360 than the PS3 currently.

I still want to know how it'll connect to the 360 in a few years.

J @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Sega are alright, I would love it if they did bring Golden Axe to the revolution, AS AN EXCLUSIVE ( but what are the chances of that happening, they'll port them over to the other consoles ). Thats what I mean with some developers, Oh it was no problem for them to do all kinds of games for the snes, but now that the industry has introduced Sony and MS in to play what do they do? jump ship and deliver the games you would have seen on Nintendo. WHY CAN'T THEY DEVELOP THE SAME GAMES FOR THEM AS WELL.

All THESE game developers need to really shake off this stupid image of nintendo being a console ' just for kids ' BECAUSE ITS NOT!

E.g look at Goldeneye, Killer Instinct and Perfect dark from Rare, this gave them more crediblity .

Nintendo are slowly getting the respect they deserve but developers need to wake them selves up, Nintendo give developers the oppertunatey to create games that allow for a newer experience of enjoyment, you CAN'T keep basing arguements on graphics alone.

You can always update graphics but how to play a game, well thats a whole different kettle of fish.

( My heart goes out to the people of New Oleans, WE ALL MUST KEEP OUR SPIRITS HIGH FOR THEM)

"It appears to use some sort of tractor beam to draw CDs from the air into its slot. Cool."

I've never posted here but thought I would... after reading the funniest thing I've heard all day. Laughed out loud.

HoonY @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

ok, ive read all these comments and i wanna make one now without people getting mad and start a huge debate
to me, i have played on all the current gen systems, and in my opinion xbox is the worst console out of the three, because my shitty-ass computer has the same specs as it (besides the gpu of course) and i dont really feel as if im actually playing the game (im trying to say i dont like the gameplay)

now the ps2 is o.k. but i dont really like it

i feel the same way for the gc as the ps2

now for the nexgens
the ps3 (to me) looks kool except for the spiderman font, and maybe they make the controller the way they dide because it is more comfortable and fitting to the hand, not to the eyes
also i like some of the games that they are gonna be selling at release date too
the xbox360 looks ok, but it reminds me (dont know y) of the dell inspiron xps gen5, but i really acknowledge the games they are coming out with at release date
now for the rev man
i personally think this is the most wicked and smart thing to do, and i'll give u my reasons (they are not reasons you have to consider, this is just what i think)
1. i love how they dont make them on regular cds or dvds and stuff, cuz it makes it so hard for piracy
2. the whole idea of a slot is pretty kool because i know people who have their trays break or get damaged
3. i like the way they conceal everything, to me its a very smart thing to do, for example, sony said the ps2 gonna do this and that when it was in the making, but then people got pissed off cuz they didnt do wut they said they would, and being quiet about everything takes away that risk because if your not telling them wut ur gonna do, then they prolly wont get mad if u dont do it.
4. the choice of colors is good too, for example, if u have siblings (younger or older) that want a different color than the one you want (this is only if the parents are over-considerate) then u can just get two, which will increase the sales (i know some pretty stupid people that didnt buy a ps2 just because it wasnt white). i also think that if u get your choice of color, you are getting the freedom to express your personality and such with different colors
5. my final point is that to me, the ps3 and xbox360 have tried to make the look so amazing to the eye that no matter whats inside, people are gonna get it, but i like things that are simple on the outside, but crazy on the inside, for example (would u have sex with a hot as hell girl that has hiv but doesnt tell you, or are you gonna have sex with a hot girl that doesnt have hiv)
who knows, maybe 'broadway' is some crazy processor that is much more capable (its like comparing a 2 lane highway with an 8 lane)
and maybe a 'hollywood' gpu is prolly the most expensive gpu to make but also the most effective
but neways
im out man, ive wrote enuff, sorry about that

p.s. that would the the sickest shit ever if they made counterstrike source for nintendo revolution, o my goodness, that would seriously make my heart skip a beat rofl

peace out

J @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Yeah, yeah Mr Hoony ( I swear, the names are just getting more weird by the minute) your last point gave me joke : ) but ALL your points definiately stands with merit.

Nintendo are going one hell of a different route, but already tons tons of people are just anxious to see what the ' Kings of inovators ' have up their sleeve, waiting patiently for that day .......

..... the 18th ( roll on already )

i mean cmon man, u dont even need a tv to play on it, that is amazing
and the article about nasa doing stuff with holographic stuff, and how a 'japanese gaming company' invested 300,000 in it

everything works out man

i wish i was in tokyo right now lol for TGS lol

i know kiodai does too, but then again, maybe he/she doesnt, because he/she probably already knows all about it

but seriously man
email me dude

o yea and one last thing
this is for everybody that reads his/hers comments
i've CTRL+F'ed his name and read all the posts made by him, and now i get wut he/she is saying

HoonY @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

lol 773
u just made my day roflmao
thats hilarious
im gonna say that to my friends lol
neways
hey dudes, do u know y xbox has perfect dark zero? if anything i thought perfect dark was a nintendo game..
and i think it should stay that way
and man, like 3 seconds ago, i just came up with this
nintendo games arent for just little kids really! i mean look at perfect dark and goldeneye man, the best games ever (i personally have never seen any fps with a rating of 9.9 [referring to perfect dark]) that game is perfect man, the only reason it prolly didnt get a 10 was prolly cuz the graphics werent good enuff to show how hot she is lol (dont take that seriously)
nintendo owns
and that would be wicked if the 'controller' actually does measure the pressure and sweat and stuff like that and change the gameplay
thats amazing

blu phoenixx @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

the 'nintendo revolution' will mark the definition of next generation gaming. This is cos' there are the only one's actually keeping in mind the true gamer's needs & in that i'm refering to pricing (their consoles compared to the competition at the time of release), originality (the metroid franchise), inovation (meteos), replay value (nintendogs) and of course crack like addicting sequels (legeng of zelda:twilight princess). Unlike the competition, u've got SONY with a very high reputation of making promises they can't keep e.g: that the ps2 would be as powerful as a super computer & u'd just need 20,000 of those to stop a tyrant like sadam hussein. we all know how that turned out, ur ps2 could not even compute the specs of a game like doom3 let alone do basic programming. And let's not 4get they also said the ps3 would run in the excesses of 4gigs. now they humbly say it will run on about 3.2-3.5gigs, which i still will not belive it untill i see it. Don't 4get too that they claimed that the tech demos shown at E3 this year were running real time while all the best programmers in the world who make these games mind you, don't believe it (meaning it's all a farse). Coming to xbox 1.5 or xbox 360, as u would all like to call it, it's just a mere upgrade to it pioneering console, it offers nothing new which the remaining competition can't handle, that's why they are so keen to launch first but at least they are better than sony in terms of delivering promises & coming from a mother company that makes computers, i won't be suprised if it (xbox 360) comes with windows explorer and u have to upgrade some components in your console every few years which only the microsoft company sells. these guys only care about making money off u guys out there. almost all their games play and feel like pc games, no originality except the mighty halo (mind you that was supposed to be a pc game b4 microsoft bought it.) and the upcoming perfect dark which funnily nintendo sold to them. microsoft can only give scraps of what the top dogs think and throw out as trash. What more can i say, i rest my case. NINTENDO WILL RULE AGAIN, then there will be peace in all the galaxies and the dark side will be no more.

J @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Thats right phoenixx, AND THEN SOME with a capital DONE and DUSTED, FULLSTOP

It is great that the level of support for nintendo hasn't droped and hopfully widen the appeal to others ( opening a NEWER audience).

What ever the future holds for nintendo am looking forward

Flaezk @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

RevPatentLeaker, as always, it's good to hear from you. One complaint though, I would like to see something new and exciting on your website.

For those unaware of it, the picture is from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It's Samus Aran in the Light Suit.

Just like you other guys I'm looking forward as well to whatever the future holds for Nintendo. See you on Wi-Fi playing the Revolution in 2006!

Yrx the Happy Conquerer @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

It occurred to me the other night that Nintendo is a genius at marketing. Do you remember how they kept GCN a secret for years, under the "Dolphin" codename, and everyone was all like "Wow, I wish I knew more!" Then they finally released some footage from the system, and everyone went wild for a couple months, and then the system sold out really quickly (at least where I live). They did the same type of thing with DS... "Wow, what could 2 screens be used for?" With Revolution, it's the new controller. Nintendo always wait's til just the right time, right before everyone either explodes or gets bored! As for the specs on Xbox 360 and PS3 being better than Revolution, you have to remember that NINTENDO HAS NOT EVEN RELEASED SPECS YET. Plus remember when Sony was saying PS2 had so much power, and that it would cream GCN in performance? Well, it turned out that Sony was only using calculated figures, and not actually testing them with games. So it was only a fraction as powerful as they said it would be. That's probably the main reason Nintendo hasn't released any specs, because they like giving a straight truthful answer. I can assure you that the other companies are exaggerating again this time! (Microsoft is a little better with that, but they still bend the numbers a bit) And besides, it's gone beyond mere power. Now it's about how much more fun the best system is. And that's what Nintendo's good at! Sega was great at that too, and I think we'll be seeing quite a few new games from them for Revolution. And please don't start about Nintendo being too "kiddie." The majority of people I know that play GTA and FPS's are under 12. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping some morals-based fun as opposed to immature violence. You know what I'm talking about... "Oh geez, you just shot all that guy's limbs off, HAHAHA!" Seriously people. You should give ACTUAL fun a try some time. I suggest Pikmin, lol! Ok, that was a fairly calm rant... Consider yourselves lucky!

bubbafudd @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

see thats what i was sayin before. ps is the new "kiddie" company. all the people i know that still play on ps2 are 12 or 13. most people that grew up with the systems want more substance to their games. i watch my cousins play gta:sa and they go on and on about how many stars they got or how many times they shot everyone in sight.

Tony Scheczudio @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

isn't ingland supposed to be gud @ inglish?
I like all teh consoles out ov ps2, xbox and gc! all truly awsome!
gc's r awsum coz ssbm and all ov dem mariogames (i luv dem) and dat nu zelda game makes my orgazm swim around in my pantieholes.
Ps2 r awsome to melt in a micro wave (my frend actualy did it and it sent sparks it was kool. broke the good old microwave), and you can even use it as a cricket bat and also commonly used as a portable shitting/pissing device where i live (Go Tassie!) I'm sure it'll b as fun shoving it up calleo's frontal red skidmarked pants.
xbox can be used just like the ps2! Yay! so fun! n its bigger so it holds more shit! awsome fun!
sorry to those "mature" people, ur gonna hav 2 put up wit it.
i'll put sum "mature" comments wen i'm a big boy
by the way, this serous gamer oo7 or wateva sounds hell fake. still, his ideas r interesting in a way

illustrious_energy @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

I heard that the Nintendo Revolution will come with an installed solar-powered flux capacitor and 2 Ltrs of plutonium to generate the one point twenty-one gigawatts of electricity,cook you're favourite Tv dinners with it's built-in microwave oven,allow you access to the stars & planets with a flip out telescope and last but not least play games!!

OTAM @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

hey guys, I'm sorry for being such an ass before, but you know who I am: A loser. Really, sorry, it's just that I have no life, no friends, that's why I'm so biased against anything that isn't Xbox.

Alright, I admit sometimes I bullshited a little. Remember when I said I own a GC but don't really play with it? To tell you the truth, I've never played that. I bet its for kids because the games have funny colors, so they must not be fun, and since i'm too insecure, I think it would be worse for my already shitty reputation with women, being as unpopular as I am.

But yeah, I still think that anyone that spends a huge amount of money on consoles like PS3 must be a loser just because I say so, or a loser too if they buy Revolution because it won't have games (again, because I said so), or it will be for kids or all of the above.

You have to buy the 360 because I swear to you, it's american so it MUST be better than any japanese console, and because I didn't like the other consoles, it will be cheap because its made by microsoft, and it's the most cutting edge system ever (JUST LOOK AT IT! And oh the games, it only has FPShooters, but come on, give it a shot, it's the cool thing to do). Perhaps that way I'll have jocks appreciate me and maybe they will allow me to get closer to chicks! Yay!

J @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

Hmmmmm, OTAM I hear what ya saying. I admit I was blown away with some of the games wading its way to the X360 and I did node my head up and down, my hand resting comfortably on my chin and said 'hmmm, not bad'. The new machine has ALOT of attracting features and no doubt will truly ultrilize the machine to the max, ( and all fair play to it ...

... BUT ...

... what EXACTLY different are we ( or am I ) expected to see and feel when playing MS new console? you said it your self my friend ' ...it only has FPShooters, ' yeah I know, it obivousily won't be the only genre on the 360 but if ' boasting graphics ' is the only way appeal, as well as its multipurpose extras then there really is nothing AT ALL that reaches out to me and make me blow all my hard earned change on it, MS would have to do O-N-E H - E - L - L of a job to stir up any interest, the name its self can't buy me.

O yeah my man ( not to upset yous ) but what makes you think that an American console would OR COULD E-V-E-N be in leagues with the Japanese Consoles ( and I surpose I have to throw Sony into this) Games were born from there.

Nintendo say their going to deliver something that will alter once again how we play games, and THATS where its out ...

... TIMES ARE A CHANGING AND ONCE AGAIN NINTENDO ARE LEADING THAT CHANGE.

can I get an Amen up in hhhhhhhheeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!!!

Is nintendo actually going to show anything at the Tokyo Games Show or am i going to be let down

Nintendo itself isn't really there, but Iwata will do his key speach, which hopefully is about the Revolution. Everybody's hoping that he will reveal everything, finally!

We'll just wait and see, I guess...

J my man, i second the AMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. what OTAM needs to do is get out more frequently out his rabbit hole, smell the flowers and realise that all the red, white and blue in the world won't make a console superior if u don't have great games to show for it & u say OTAM, that the xbox 360 is a gr8t console just by looking at it? men, that's shallow. i bet OTAM that u couldn't even spell microsoft. about ur chic problems, i'd advise u open ur mouth more frequently moving it in an up and down manner any time u meet women and not leave them wide open letting spit drip, u mite get more ass that way (in other words that means u talk to them). if that doesn't work, u need an exorcism.

this goes out to HoonY and flaezk, u guys aren't leaving me out when it comes down to the revolution wi-fi battle next year, just sign me up soldier and i'll be in the front lines hopefully with a 4 inches thick kevlar vest. peace out

Affirmative, buddy!

nintendo's games are great, but i thought the n64 versions of mario, zelda, and star fox more entertaining than the gamecube. i'm glad they are finally taking the games online. they are still the best game developers.

based on the popular rumour of the tilt function wouldnt it be cool in super smash bros an item to pick up and turn the platform to its side and tip people off just the little things make up the big hot hard...

blu phoenixx @ Dec 18th 2005 9:51PM

yeah, that would not be bad. we'll call those kind of games "tilt em' ups" or something like that. but i feel that if that gyroscopic function actually makes it out of rumor world out into reality, it would be awesome in flight games. think of the possibilities on a game like star fox. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
