Blake from Infendo sent in this potential pic of a leaked Nintendo
Revolution ad, supposedly originating from an anonymous source deep within the bowels of Nintendo's marketing
department. It certainly has the makings of an ad, such as, erm… the Nintendo logo, for one. And the illuminated front
profile of the system, for another. And a thinly veiled reference to the Xbox 360 to boot! Of course, it's the date
itself that is by far the most promising feature here. Unless Sony's vague reference to a Japanese PS3 launch in spring
2006 holds true, this ad would seem to imply that Nintendo would be second out of the gate rather than third, and,
assuming that the Revolution is released first in Japan, could potentially mean that Revolution development is much
further along than any of us anticipated. But wait a sec, have dev kits for this thing even been distributed yet? We
know Iwata said that the system would be easy to program for, but developing a AAA title on brand-new hardware
utilizing a revolutionary technology in less than eight months? Still, we can hope…
Oh, and is it just me, or did anyone else automatically think "The Ring" upon first glance at this ad? Before you
die, you see the box…
