It looks like Future Publishing's new
Official Nintendo Magazine came through with the goods today as
expected. Their "unrivaled access" snagged them one exclusive, and it's a doozy. The Revolution's stand
"also acts as a power supply" for the console. This, naturally, raises more questions than it answers. - What about those patent images? The image of the
bottom/right side of the unit revealed a bunch of unknown properties, which we can assume connect the console to
the stand, but images of the stand
reveal no such connection.
- Will the stand function as a corded power supply if the unit is placed horizontally? There is a power port clearly visible on the back of the unit which may be used to connect the two in this configuration.
- If the unit sits horizontally, will all the funky connectors be visible on the right
side of the unit, or will there be a door to cover them? The clean, minimalist design of the Revolution uses doors on
both the front and left/top to hide much of the ungainly ports and other visual distractions.
