Nintendo is coming out with a console system,and as we know its called revolution,it has another system though,called Nintendo ON,a headset alternative to the revolution,which simulates virtual reality with vidoe games,an ajustable visor,surround sound,mic,eye motion sensor,and cd burner are all included on this one headset...i have a video of the headset,ive yet to find pictures.though nintendo has everything under wraps so well i find myself in confusion as to if the headset is a complete seperate item from the consol,or if it will take the consoles place,it's yet to be determined...
as for the console revolution...there are some pictures of two different styles...though it is known that the system will be about three dvd cases stacked in thickness
^this is what they have decided on...colors are pending.
^this was another concept drawing,i figured id show you.
Speculation
Nintendo is building gyroscopes into the controllers, presumably to add some sort of motion-control aspect to games.
The console will have dual processors and built-in broadband (we’re assuming Ethernet, but maybe also WiFi?).
There are no plans to connect the DS to the Revolution, but there could be some integration with the Game Boy Evolution.
The Revolution will have four controller ports, a hard drive, and support for high-resolution displays and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound.
The console will be backwards-compatibility with GameCube games, and in what would only be a swipe at Sony, its drive will use HD-DVD, rather than Blu-ray, discs.
The console will launch with a new Mario game (of course), and there is a new Zelda game in the works.
ATi graphics will be used
Nintendo 21 is also a possible name for the new console
- planned for release at end of 2005
- medium is 2-sided 8cm disc, 5.4GB capacity, in a shellcase
- includes “Home Game function” which uses IEEE protocol to locate and communicate with other Nintendo 21s in the vicinity
- “Home Game function” is free, connect the AC adaptor and the machine talks to nearby Nintendo 21s and “Nintendo Home”s
Save data is stored on the main unit and affects other machines over the network.
- “Nintendo Home” machine is like a base station that will be put in many places and uses the PHS network for communication (popular mobile phone network). Will connect to handheld game machines and supports “Home Game function”, also sends latest info from Nintendo.
- “Nintendo Home” is being jointly developed with Kyosera.
- controller is like GC controller but “rubbing” is possible - e.g. you can control movement in a
game by rubbing the controller/buttons. Also the controller has a slot.
- The whole controller is pressure sensitive. So rubbing can be done with the buttons or via grip.
