Designer Joseph Dumary dreamed up this interpretation of the next Xbox console, which he calls the "Xbox Prestige." It's slightly curvier than the Xbox 360 Slim, suggesting it's from the future. It also includes a built-in "KinectIn" sensor for menu navigation and to scan cards for purchased games -- buy the card, put it in front of the system, and either download it or play it streaming. <br />
<br />
Inside the hypothetical console is a 2TB hard drive for storing those games, and a tuner for live TV. It is, in general, much nicer than the real system will be.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/28/designer-imagines-the-next-xbox/">Designer imagines the next Xbox</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 28 Nov 2011 20:11:00 EST.

Upon seeing these clear photographs of what appear to be a physical model of the "Project Cafe" console from this <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/04/22/probably-not-the-wii-2-part-i-innovation-reinvented/">"Innovation Reinvented" slide</a>, we could react in two ways. First, the photographs could lend credence to the slide, suggesting that <em>all</em> of this is real and the Wii successor truly has the listed features and design.<br />
<br />
Conversely, we could conclude that someone either built or made a convincing 3D model of the device based on that slide, thinking that the hours of labor required would be worth it when someone was <em>maybe kind of fooled</em>. As this is the course of events that would best justify our constant cynicism, it should be no surprise that it's the one toward which we're leaning.<br />
<br />

The answer is <em>yes</em>. Yes, you can.), we thought we would compare it to the <em>other</em> PS3 Slim we've seen so much of -- the mockup that <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/17/slim-pickings-the-story-of-the-fabled-ps3-slim-so-far/">we saw again and again</a> in retail listings and fake circulars. Above, the real PS3 Slim and NeoGAF user cakefoo's final <a href="http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16928825&amp;postcount=385">mockup image</a>.<br />
<br />
The fake is the one on the right. To put a fine point on it, cakefoo totally <em>nailed</em> it, to the point that we're wondering if he had the real thing on his desk as a reference. To put an even <em>finer</em> point on it, the logo is slightly bigger on the mockup, so it <em>totally doesn't look anything like the real one</em>.<br />
<br />
It's also <em>really</em> close to the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/05/14/rumor-pictures-show-slim-ps3-model-in-production/">early box image</a> we saw -- but we can probably attribute that less to a prescient/detail-oriented Photoshopper and more to this box image <em>probably</em> being real. In fact, this box image and the in-production shell image were probably among the references used by cakefoo.<br />

<span style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 7px;"> <script> var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/nintendo/The_Mario_games_that_never_were'; </script> <script src="http://digg.com/api/diggthis.js"></script></span>  Being a solitary Mario fanatic is rewarding in its own right, but when the obsession is affirmed by <em>other people</em>, gaming geekery reaches new heights. More cultural icon than game character, Mario has inspired everything from an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Super_Mario_Bros._Super_Show!">animated television series</a> to <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/11/long-world-1-1-scarf-is-long/">an extremely lengthy scarf</a>. And probably a couple of other things in between, like <a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=mario cake">cakes</a> and stuff. Most recently, though, we've become infatuated with the thriving community over at <a href="http://www.vgboxart.com/">VGBoxArt.com</a>, a website dedicated to all kinds of game box artwork, both real and imagined.<br /><br />Barring occasionally subpar Photoshop skills, voluntary contributors to the site's public database have created an interesting collection of box art. Whether it be a reinterpretation of an existing cover or a completely new idea for a game, <a href="http://www.vgboxart.com/browse/plat/Wii/">box art in the Wii category</a> is worth checking out. Of course, the Mario-themed works take precedence in this humble feature, and we've assembled <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/its-a-mario-world-the-lost-premises/992061/">a new gallery</a> showcasing the finer of the bunch. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/its-a-mario-world-the-lost-premises/992061/">Click on</a> and imagine the Mario games you'll likely never see.<br />

Remember the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/07/nintendo-power-teases-ds-owners-with-a-faux-redesign/">crazy ad in <em>Nintendo Power</em></a><em> </em>(pictured above) that "hinted" at a DS redesign? (You should; we only posted about it two days ago, silly rabbits.) It turns out that the poor Photoshop job is nothing to speculate about, as NIS America only "placed screenshots on a DS backing to emphasize the platform, and edited them for effect." Now, we never took Marketing 101, but that seems like somewhat misleading advertising to us.<br /><br />NIS America's marketing guru Nao Zook apologized for any confusion that the picture may have caused, stating that there is no widescreen DS in the works (to her or the company's knowledge). So, you can rest assured (or at least hold your breath until E3) that you won't have to pony up the cash for yet another DS.<br /><br />

Some are <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/nintendo-ds-mockups/746629/">awful</a>, some are <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/nintendo-ds-mockups/752275/">amazing</a>. Yes, the DS has precisely one gazillion "concept" models floating around the place, from fans who want their own particular quirks included with the <strike>inevitable</strike> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/14/point-uh-yeah-it-totally-will-get-redesigned/"><em>possible</em></a> redesign of the handheld. <em>Nintendo Power</em> has featured this image with an advertisement for <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/disgaea/"><em>Disgaea DS</em></a> and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/rhapsody/"><em>Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure</em></a>, and although it looks pretty cool, it's extraordinarily doubtful that one of the most talked-about rumors in the history of the DS has just awkwardly been confirmed via this image. Bogus, but neat!<br />
<br />
It's pretty much the same thing as the DS Lite now, only with bigger screens. Which is more or less <em>exactly</em> what the DS needs -- the rest is spot on. The fact that the bottom screen is misaligned with the top screen lends evidence to some guy taking one too many coffee breaks during his Photoshop training. Looks rad, not official -- redesign will probably come soon anyway. Watch this space for all E3 Nintendo revelations!<br />
<br />
<font color="red">Update:</font> Just as we thought, Nintendo denied that this widescreen DS is a representation of a new unit, stating this is "<a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=171073">purely rumor and speculation.</a>"<br />

<br />As the clock ticks ever closer to E3, Nintendo continues to deny that a DS <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/redesign">redesign</a> is in the works. The only problem? They <em>keep denying it</em>, and that arouses the suspicions of naturally suspicious people -- naturally suspicious people like <em>us</em>.<br /><br />The company has already swatted away <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/11/enterbrain-boss-new-ds-may-be-unveiled-at-e3/">claims</a> made by Enterbrain president Hirokazu Hamamura (not once, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/16/nintendo-of-japan-carefully-denies-redesign-rumors/">but</a> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/nintendo-dont-count-on-that-ds-redesign/">twice</a>), and has now issued another denial to GamesRadar, stating that "everything reported online is pure speculation and rumor," and that "a new model will be brought to the market when we can not offer new ideas with the current model." According to the firm, there's plenty of ideas left to "enrich the lives of people who own a Nintendo DS."<br /><br />Call us conspiracy theory nutjobs all you like, but there's actually a ton of very good reasons to believe a DS Lite follow-up is coming. Sales of the DS hardware are dropping in <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/another-week-in-japan">Japan</a> as the PSP romps ahead (after getting a redesign itself), DS piracy is becoming increasingly widespread, and hey, Nintendo redesigns stuff.

When we look at Mat Brady's convergence PSP mock-up, we can't help but laugh and get confused at the same time. This Frankensteinien combination of an iPhone, Windows Mobile device and PSP should be able to play games, browse the internet, play music, and cook you food. This certainly would save a lot of space in our already-bursting pockets.

Nintendo of Europe has already <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/15/nintendo-dont-count-on-that-ds-redesign/">officially denied</a> the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/11/enterbrain-boss-new-ds-may-be-unveiled-at-e3/">rumor</a> that a new version of the DS would debut at this year's E3. Possibly due to the fact that the most recent rumor originates from a credible source (Enterbrain's Hirokazu Hamamura), Nintendo of Japan has also chimed in, in a statement given to Yukan Fuji.<br /><br />Nintendo told the website that "We cannot comment on the specifics of what will be announced at E3, but at the very least there won't be anything like what Mr. Hamamura suggested, so we would like to clearly deny this." The statement continued "We're having a hard time understanding what kind of evidence [Mr. Hamamura] had for saying this."<br /><br />Conspiracy theorists can read Nintendo's aggressive denial as confirmation, of course. They didn't say there wouldn't be any new hardware, just that there won't be <em>exactly what Mr. Hamamura suggested.</em> Which means that the new hardware, if it exists, is something other than a minor upgrade. <br /><br />Would Nintendo <em>really</em> have such <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_line#Game_Boy_Pocket">a</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_line#Game_Boy_Light">hard</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Color">time</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance">figuring</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance_SP">out</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Micro">why</a> Hamamura would predict a new hardware <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2007/05/03/ds-daily-lite-or-phat/">revision</a>? It's been over two years since the last one, and if history is any indication, Nintendo is due to drop a new system on all the people who <em>just bought one.</em><br /><br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/16/nintendo-of-japan-carefully-denies-redesign-rumors/">Nintendo of Japan carefully denies redesign rumors</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:30:00 EST.

There had already been some word that we would see a new DS model, but Nintendo of Europe dismissed those rumors as <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/01/16/new-ds-unveiled/">"pure rumor and speculation."</a><br /><strong><br />January, 2006:</strong> Just a few days later, the DS Lite is officially announced.<br /><br /><strong>April, 2008:</strong> Hirokazu Hamamura of Enterbrain speculates on the big reveal of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/11/enterbrain-boss-new-ds-may-be-unveiled-at-e3/">yet another DS model</a> at this year's E3.<br /><br /><strong>April, 2008:</strong> Nintendo of Europe says the Enterbrain boss's comments are -- wait for it -- simply "rumor and speculation."<br /><br />Surely we're not alone in sensing a pattern, and it's a pattern that goes beyond even NoE's mirrored statements. The announcement of a redesign this year would match the GBA's timeline, so while we're not going to come out and say that it's likely we'll hear about a new DS this year, we won't be <em>surprised</em> if it happens. <br /><br />In the meantime, we've loaded the mockup gallery with other fan-made possibilities.

The large black areas on the left and right sides are gigantic grip buttons whichrespond to being squeezed, an odd innovation that may have your character accidentally jumping off a cliff every timeyou become frustrated. It's also got battery indication lights, a microphone and...what's this? A gyro sensor? What a<em>crazy</em> idea.<br /><br /><strong>Previously:<br /></strong>

You see, this guy's got this friend whotranslates stuff for Nintendo, and he sent this picture off... same old story, shiny new interface: the bottom says"<span style="font-style: italic;">Super Smash Bros: Ultimate Fight</span> Play now"; the Virtual Consolelists an assortment of classic Ninty games, and the title is the mockup artist's preferred choice, Nintendo RS. <br/><br />Why don't we rate these attempts using a scale of 1 to 10 for believability, and compare the scores to thefinal product. I'd say this one has a bit more polish than many of its predecessors, but still lacks the fit andfinish, not to mention usability (why are the system settings displayed on the main screen), of a professional attempt:4/10. <br /><br />[Thanks, <a href="http://ian.janasnyder.com">Someone</a>]<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/28/unlikely-revolution-interface-14-der-nintendo-rs/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Unlikely Revolution Interface #14: der Nintendo RS</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/28/unlikely-revolution-interface-14-der-nintendo-rs/">Unlikely Revolution Interface #14: der Nintendo RS</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 28 Mar 2006 16:27:00 EST.

These are the Revolutions thatweren't...and thankfully so.<br /><br />A sort of uneasy feeling of indecision settles over us when viewing thisparticular controller design, as if our body and mind can't come to an agreement over how to respond to it. At first,we're quite inclined to profusely vomit, as if this disastrous experiment in 3D modelling triggers some sort of bodilydefense mechanism, urging us to stare at the intimacies of toilet bowl as opposed to the purple manifestation of pureunwieldiness. <br /><br />The other conflicting action we find ourselves compelled to perform is to start up aViking-themed rock band and play hardcore remixes from the<em> Ico</em> soundtrack. At least that way we'd constantlybe on a globetrotting tour and never have to worry about being impaled during a heated videogame session. <br /><br/>[Image from <a href="http://www.gearlive.com/index.php/news/monthly/2005/04/P150/">Gear Live</a>.]<br /><br/><strong>Previously:<br /></strong>
