DS = RS?



Dual Screen...



Revolutionary Screen?



(I think the "revolution" may have a lot to do with the "screen")

Looks cool, but time will only be able to tell if it's real or not. Nonetheless, sweet post. I can't wait--it seems so long away.

It's fake, the menu was made by a Nintendo.com user.

It's fake. They ripped the screen from Defect DS's work.

That was proven false a long time ago. Why is Joystiq putting this up now?

It's fake, the original image was done by a member of Gamefaqs and someone turned it into a video.

Revolution, this is DVD. DVD, this is Revolution.



What a strange phrase.. "introduce a DVD".

Nintendo is shadowed right side up, but RS is mirrored.

Wow, you guys are getting slower every day. :P



First of all, this was from like three weeks ago, and secondly, the menu screens are from an artist rendition by DefectDS (Tim Shundo), menu screens that YOU featured not 2 months ago. XD

This is a mock-up created by Tim Shundo, aka DefectDS, whom I work with at NintendoPlayers.com. He certainly never intended for a rumor like this to start, but I can understand how the gorgeous quality of his work could lead people to believe that it was indeed real.



Be sure to check NintendoPlayers.com for more of his work in the future!

#1- It also very well mean Revolutionary System...needless to say I think you're right about the display for Rev.



#5- Yeah you're right. I as well saw it on Gamespot. Yeah this is totally fake. First, The font IMO sucks. It's boring. Then, look at the "menu" nothing is moving except the periods after the DVD thing. I mean with a sweet background like that, doesn't it look like it should move? With something so revolutionary it should, right? I mean, even the PSP's did. Other than that, I am still stoked and praying that Nintendo will reign #1 again...just hoping that it really is awesome and new...because right now, PS3 is looking like my only other option since Xbox lost me with so many flaws.

I seriously think this is crap - the "logo" for the Nintendo RS - no - I don't think Nintendo would go with such a crappy looking logo and introduction for this "revolutionary" system

This was a mockup created by one of our fellow staff members over at http://www.nintendoplayers.com/ . There were images released months mocking up various interfaces all signed by him, this is a video version of the same thing.



I find it quite funny that people think it's real when it was never claimed to be, just because someone found it somewhere.

Wow, everyone is on the ball tonight :D But I'm surprised that they didn't think it was oddly similar to those concept images from like way last year that were fanmade... I nearly got excited, but then, I remembered.

#14, that was the first thing that came to mind with me. I remember seeing an image that was almost exactly the same as the one there a few months in last year.

Man, that was a really crappy video. Not only did they blatantly steal DefectDS's work, but they didn't use my NintendoRS logo which is on http://www.greg2k.com/stuff (along with the full RS hoax thing I pulled off, lol), which was spread across the web like mad.



I mean, you don't need to do a Nintendo ON video in order for it to look legit, but definitely MORE THAN THIS.

As soon as I saw the 'RS' sign I knew it was fake. So amatuerish and ugly. No company in it's right mind would introduce a console with such a crap emblem. It's not a bloody Ford Rally car.

I know it's not very polished, but mind you the description said it was a beta. Its all a moot point since we've found the author. Thanks for getting the correct info out there!

Despite how small the world has become because of it, the Internet is a pretty big place. It might SEEM like everyone and their brother knows about a particular thing "going around", but it's an illusion because it's *your* particular circle of friends who know about it.



There are people who *still* have never encountered the "All Your Base" phenomenon, believe it or not. I came in on (what I percieve to be) the second really big wave of popularity, myself. Encountered plenty of people who rolled their eyes in disgust at our enjoyment of it. "That's OLD!" Not to us. Now, I, too, roll my eyes at people who scream "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US!", but now I have a better perspective on the whole situation and tend to just let it roll off.



Despite reading lots of game related sites and being a big supporter of the Revolution, I've never encountered the "RS HD-DVD hoax" which apparently happened just before E3 last year. This menu video and mockup being posted? First time I saw it was just now. These things simply didn't get around to the sites that I follow. I did, however, hear about (and get aroused by) the "Nintendo ON" video. Go figure.



So cut Joystiq a friggin' break. If they KNEW this wasn't authentic, they almost certainly wouldn't have posted it. It's not a case of "being out of the loop" or whatever you might choose to label it, it's just like I said, the net is a big place and not everyone is hip to every single fad or occurrence.

Jeez, that is so fake. That video was increadibly amature and the menu screen is poorly modified concept art from about a month after E3. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS FACT!!!!!

that is fake. Nintendo RS, oh i don't think so. Nintendo.com already has a page set up for REVOLUTION so RS really doesn't catch my attention, plus that lil clip didn't have audio

What a lame video. Bubbles? That go on forever? Yeah, after the 15th time of that I'd be ready to scream, if that were the startup sequence. I'm not 6 years old.



And a line like "Introduce a DVD" is beyond weird.

I honestly see nothing revolutionary about the freakin' Revolution. Nintendo is gonna innovate themselves out of business.

That's cool but I know for afact it is not the actual thing. The final menu screen was a mock up made a wile ago in a contest in the Nintendo Power forums. I made one, too (I'm BLAK there, btw) and I distinctly remember this one because it was the best and looked so cool. But, yeah. It looks like he just went and fleshed out the idea a little and put it on the web. Cool, nonetheless.

LOL!!! I can't believe joystiq even made this news! You already know where I stand on this.



to #30. Perhaps but it looks like an amateur used photoshop to make it. There is no depth, or even professionalism in it. The objects are in 2d which is obvious that if such a bios would exist in that form, wouldn't you think the objects on screen would be 3D? Regardless its good to see people come up with concept ideas on how they think the rev will be like and the best thing its when you actually see a concept that looked real close to the actual product. :D

For those of us that don't hound the net 24/7, it was welcome news, regardless if it's fake. I do like the design though.
