New Revolution video

[gnarly]

Now this is intresting...

http://rapidshare.de/files/1741533/Nintendo-ON-Revolution.wmv.html

Real or amazingly done fake?

I'm going with fake.

EDIT: Seriously this must've took alot of time to make.

[MajoraBoy]

Hmm, the link didn't work for me.

[gnarly]

Click on "free" and then wait a few seconds, then click the link or download it.

[HereticPB]

if this isn't fake OMG!

[Eidorian]

if this isn't fake OMG!Wow, someone put a lot of love into that video if it's fake.

[Bloodman]

how do I open this? I cant find the open link button. It just tells me to download the super mode thing.

[Eidorian]

My advice is not to use FireFox to download this. The download kept dying on me.

I finally got to view the entire video. It was believable up until the Nintendo On bit. It's entirely possible that the HUD is part of the system but the actual console itself looked out of place even with modern design standards. I'm skeptical but leaning toward possible. The brain just doesn't look right...

[HereticPB]

Wait for the timer!!!

[neo999955]

Scroll down and click the free option. Scroll down again and it'll have a timer, when it reaches zero you can download it.

Anyways, someone spent a LOT of time on this - and it really is quite impressive and detailed. He/She/They are pretty talented - but this is most certainly a fake. We already know the Rev will be smaller than two inches, certainly nothing like that original design in the video. The virtual reality seems really cool, but I can't imagine it being possible yet. Nonetheless - amazing ideas and amazing video. Too bad it's fake.

Oh yeah, and I really, really like the name Nintendo On, as well as the system logo. Nice work.

[Zeep]

while it's a very well done video, and looks EXACTLY like something nintendo would present at their press conference (remember the zelda trailer unveiling? you could probably expect reactions like that if thise were shown), i dont think the system itself could be real. why does it say that it can display on a TV or monitro if it uses a headset? and if walking around were the only way to control a game, that would suck.

[Hylian-Advocate]

doesnt work for me

wait...I think it says I have to wait one hour or something

[HereticPB]

Says it can hook up to a tv or a computer monitor.

GC and questionmark box??

Headset

We will see Tuesday!

[mat]

Damn, the file was corrupted. I got up to the bit zzoming around the mario 64 castle... can someone PLEASE email me the full video? matthew.aspinall@gmail.com
PLEASE!

[DLazare91]

i cant open the video is there a way to get the video a different way?

[Flaccid Acid]

Wow.. that was crazy.. I want to say it's fake but it has Nintendo all over it. Although it doesn't fit with the size of the machine info that was released today. Still...

Although Mario did look really weird at the end.

[Vishus]

I can't really say if its fake or false. Mario is too thin and tall and the way the Revolution looks doesn't fit Miss Kaplan's descriptions, but who knows? Maybe that was an early design or maybe thats something they need to update Miss Kaplan on. The character to show off should have been a new one or the original Mario.

Also its really not that hard to believe its fake. This could be something made by some students at my school to show off their art skills.

I wouldn't mind the Revolution look like that though. At least its better than just making another rectangular box.

[gnarly]

I'm almost 100% this is fake but a few freaky things to note that goes with what was released today by Nintendo...

DVD was confirmed
The term "sleek" again
"RS" name again

[Hylian-Advocate]

sombody post a different version of it!!!

[gnarly]

I think this is the only version out there though I could be wrong. Also...

http://www.gamerah.com/e3_2005.php?bias=483#483

now I'm just confused.

[HereticPB]

If I can put some more on the fire. The Nintendo.com release also said Self loading mechanism. In the video the system has a self loading mechanism!

Also the make games side in this video would be use to write demos or games from Nintendo's online service!

[Shade Valkyrie]

The only thing that made me think "false" was the part where you had to put the DVD into the headset, I just can't imagine how they are able to squish so much hardware into a helmet ...

Square said something about the console being a new platform though, which makes this look even more intresting...

And I don't think you will need to move around to play the games, I think it would then be using a type of tech that register pulses in your head, like simply think "move" and you're moving in the game, I read about it somewhere, but I did not think much about it before now.

[HereticPB]

The headset comes off the system. Its more of a visor than a head set though. The system is wirelessly connected.

Funny how Aries said that there will be a wireless mic! It has a mic. Interesting. Is that number 4 Aries got right?

[Flaccid Acid]

I dont understand how you would move around, if in the game you had to run across a field how would you do that in the game without running into a wall.

[Viper]

Whoa....Nice video.


The one part that gets me is this. It said it was called the Nintendo Revolution System.

Anyone remember this?


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v382/tonicStyles/rsdisc.jpg

[HereticPB]

You step forward to start the run and you control it with the controller yet to be determined.

Whats with the 512,000,000 number?

Notice the 0 looks like eyes like that one crappy quality video that looked like a Revolution commericals.

Why does it get Quiet during the part of the Virtual Boy?

How does the surround sound work? one in your ear and one behind your ear?

[Shade Valkyrie]

HereticPB, the way Aries explained it almost sounded like the Revolution was using traditional controller... did we misunderstand anything, was he wrong, is this fake or did I miss something in the movie?

Flaccid, read my post, I don't think you will need to actually move in real life to play the games, but if you had to then it definitively would be a great solution for the inactive and obesse people in this world, lmao.

It's obvious Nintendo want this to be able to be used in combination with a monitor and TV though (optional probably), I mean, to let people outside the headset see what's going on, that was one of the problems with the virtualboy.

Another thing that makes me feel this is fake is that if this is true then to play multiplayer each player would need it's own headset, that would get expensive for families with several gamers...

[Bloodman]

HAhA, Samaus was skinny as hell!

I dont think the visor idea would be bad. Instant surround sound, super 3D, instant load, making games part. But it needs a hand controller. You cant use this while playing ssb.

[Kliq]

This only made me more confused.

Is that little helmet thing the Revolution or is that Question Mark Box the Revolution?

Hmm .. and Mario looked SUPER weird. Not the short chubby Mario we've been accustomed too.

Part of me is saying "yipee" and the other half of me is going "not another gimmick".

E3, come!

[Hylian-Advocate]

woah... that video was completely insane!!!!

whoever made that took a hell of alot of time one it... ...but it doesn't comply with what perin kaplan already confirmed... ...it's supposedly less than 1.75" tall!!!


IGN posted abou this:

so... ... even though it should have been obvious how fake it was... IGN at least confirmed that for all yall
http://cube.ign.com/articles/613/613578p1.html

[Bloodman]

Aries did say this would use a traditional controller with grips, and gyro. He has had atleast 3 of his predictions confirmed so that can only say that this is either fake or the revolutionary part. Nintendo is gonna have to include tv cords to see the action outside the visor. That would explain why it would hook up to the monitor, incase you dont have a tv. And instant surround sound would be a plus for Ninty. But it HAS to include hand controllers.

Look at the video again and look at the size of the system (not including the visor). It's almost around the height they mentiond.

Im guessing that the box in the picture is the supposed Nintendo router.

[Kliq]

Yea, if it is a fake, than whoever made it really wasted a lot of effort and time. That video was great, but it got a little weird at the end. Is that the whole video becuase it just seemed to cut off.

[HereticPB]

I'm gonna list all the ideas the video shows:

Environment\Head\motion tracking
Proximity Radar
Microphone
Stereo Surround
Adjustable Visors
DVD
30 Second load times
Recording
TV - Monitor support
GC support
Eyes feel games - rumble/visual distortion?
System = The Brain
Play and Make Games
Most Sleek (Perrin's comments)

Now take a look at the words that came from the beginning:

1 Age (?)
2 Designs, 2 Worlds, 2 Screens (2 system designs, 2 screens Monitor/TV, 2 worlds?)
3 3D (?)
4 Grey Tones, 4 Players (controller colors, 4 players)
8 Bits (?)
128 Marios (online?)

[Bloodman]

I agree, the video was awsome, so awsome that it sent shivers down my spine. But the end was like "WTF?"

[Notedog]

And the whole make games part goes along with the fact that thats a blank disc up there. They said the SYSTEM would be 1.75 inches tall (3 DVD cases on top of each other). That might not be the system, just a part of it.

[Hylian-Advocate]

Guys.... ITS FAKE!!!!!!!

but still cool to watch at least.

[Notedog]

OH SHIT! Notice the two interconnected Os in Nintendo on that Disk? One side plays games, One side Makes games.

[HereticPB]

So if IGN says its teh Fahk its fake right? If IGN jumps off a bridge do you follow? If IGN runs through traffic you do the same right?

Here is the thing. Why, listen, why would somebody waste that much energy on a fake?

[Shayde]

Class project or something?

[AntiRealityHero]

Heh, the GameCube came out in 2001, not 2002. Fake.

But really sweet if it somehow wasn't. :D

Edit: And Viper, that disc says HD-DVD, while Nintendo announced today that they will be using dual-layered DVDs.

[Shade Valkyrie]

Aries said that Nintendo wanted to fool us all, if this is true and they show off the system then everyone will be like WTF, because it will be that little box that will be used to hock up to a monitor and TV, maybe used as a Wi-Fi router as well (and even better, also maybe a wireless power source for the helmet) that they will be showing; everyone will be like where's the DVD going in on that thing, lol!

[Primehunter]

I think the video was super amazing.
To create 6 mins of video like that takes time.
I dont know, after playing metroid and mario extensively I cant imagine seeing them like that.
I also have a theory on the 512,000,000 thing,
when it showed one it was the graphics of a 64 bit. maybe it is 512 million times 64 bit graphics that would be soo amazing but only speculation.

[Hylian-Advocate]

I will still go on record saying that it's fake!

no nintendo video would have characters taht looked like that....they were all out of proportion and its doesn't go along with what has already been confirmed....

It's Fake!

[HereticPB]

yea I agree but Shade your gonna go crazy on Tuesday if Nintendo does not show a wireless power source. LOL

[Vishus]

So if IGN says its teh Fahk its fake right? If IGN jumps off a bridge do you follow? If IGN runs through traffic you do the same right?

Here is the thing. Why, listen, why would somebody waste that much energy on a fake?

I can say the same for NNow. In the end I still think on my own. I can't say the same for the mainstream though.

I wouldn't consider it wasting time. As a video by itself we praised it. We effin loved it. I think thats what the creator got in the end. The problem is that he didn't get paid for it.

[HereticPB]

Sorry for the double post but get the video as soon as you can. Seems some sites were asked to take this video footage down. So if that is any indication of it being real I don't know what is.

HtPB

[Kliq]

That would suck if that was real and it leaked - cus that would kill some of the E3 hype for Nintendo.

[Zeep]

also beccause in that form, the system sort of sucks...

[HereticPB]

Well with everybody saying its Teh Fahk it probally wont matter.

It is Rendered which means it may just be a place holder for what it really looks like (hopefully) if it is true.

[SuperLuigiBros]

I'm gonna list all the ideas the video shows:

Environment\Head\motion tracking

Stereo Surround

128 Marios (online?)
Firstly, what i saw was (for the 30 second 'load times') he put in a disc it took 30 seconds to do 'something' then the disc comes out. interesting.

Then, with the second bolded part, when all those mario 64 castles were shown (which was unbelievably cool) it goes up to 002,150,014 and it pauses, then it goes up to 211,348,824, then when it zooms out to the 'Nintendo' logo is goes up to 512,000,000. Does anyone see any meaning to these numbers? or is it just the number of castles shown?

Id also like to point out how cool that Mario castle looked at the end. And then, with the Metroid thing (this is the part that makes me question this whole thing), according to Aries Retro isnt working on a Metroid game, so they (probly) havnt started working on anything.

The last thing is that the music is from "Welcome to the Jungle" (with the Rock and that guy from American Pie, i think it has a different name in other countries). The music is really cool, but Nintendo usually has their own music dont they? I cant really remember but you know.

[gnarly]

I think the 30 second thing was hinting at a hard drive.

[HereticPB]

Well there you go you figured it out you win a Prize! /sarcasim off

Could those numbers represent Polygons?

[Magus Z]

WOW! what a video lol I have no idea whyit cut off, but if it was leaked it could just be that it leaked "wayyy" to early and it wasen't finshed yet. Who knows. But to make such a video was incredible, i go with fake. But he had some great ideas and designs. He also said that the system would come out in "2005" which is false since IGN and Gamespot both said it was in 2006. But to be honest what a video!!!!!! so good and well done. When i saw all those ctales it was like *awwww* Marios look and samasu's of course look fake but mario was tall and skinny is very old games and in the GBA game mario and luigi he was pictured as tall and skinny, to an extent, so who knows.

[Kliq]

I wonder if someone is just messing with our heads. First the crazy hype over Aeries and now this video.

[HereticPB]

Well the information comes out in 2005 but im not getting into that!

Quote is not working so read this


OK. I don't think that all of you people who keep saying "Cool but fake" are truly thinking about what goes on in the movie. If you haven't seen it yet, then look in the threads around here...its been posted a lot.

Lets start at the beginning. I like how the video starts out with a review of Nintendo's history...and it MAKES SENSE for a Revolution advertisement. Why? Because it gives the viewer an idea of just how much Nintendo has changed gaming.

I also have an idea as to what the scene with the multitudes of Peach's castles symbolize: online gaming. Think about it. It shows a "community". The numbers counting up symbolize the number of users going up. Anyone could and should understand that.

Lets get at what the controversy is really about though: the Nintendo RevolutiON. Or, shall I say the Nintendo On. This name is ingenious. It owns Placebo's N5 idea...

The fact that this video shows a helmet is really making you all think this is a fake...but to me it makes sense. Do you remember the part in the video when the helmet is shown next to a GCN and a box with a ? on it? That box could be the "system". It makes perfect sense. The box relays the picture to the TV, allowing others to watch you play. Technically, this is the "console". The "controller" is the helmet. And guess what? The are no touch screens(like Iwata said) and the controller is wireless.

I've played VR games before; they rock. But I also remember standing on a platform while I played the game. This means that YOU DON'T NEED A WHOLE ROOM TO PLAY A VR GAME. Its a concept I personally don't know how to explain but maybe someone can help me out.

This setup would also put massive emphasis on the online community. Unless Nintendo can make these insanely awsome hemets cheaply, one will not have 4 or more at his/her disposal. What does this mean? It means you better have a computer if you want to play multiplayer.

And I end here with the video which(IMO) is a video of Mario 128. Now, some of you may not recall this but there was a picture floating around here a while ago which depicted a Mario that looked EXACTLY LIKE THE MARIO IN THIS VIDEO. It was though to be a picture of Mario 128. I think it all adds up to Mario 128 being a Nintendo On game.

This all made sense in my head...if you don't get it maybe someone else can explain it better than I have. We will all know the truth in a matter of days...*gets giddy like a school girl*

----------
You know I think Perrin was talking about the visor!!!

[SuperLuigiBros]

hmm. remember Shigeru (i think) said that if you think too hard you wont get it? and that the technology has been around for some time? well, if this is VR then this fits in perfectly. we dont have to think hard to remember the Virtual Boy, and obviously the technology has been around for a while because, again, the virtual boy used VR.

:)

I dont like the idea of having to move around like an idiot, but moving my legs a step every now and then is cool. With jungle beat, i thought id look like a fool playing it, but because thats so much fun i (and everyone else) doesnt realise. I sorta hope this visor thing is fake because i dont like the idea of having to wear something.

[OutlawAdidas]

very impressive. Kudos to who ever made the video. The 512000000 number could possibly how many polygons it can render. I believe Xbox 360 does 500million

I must say that the device is slick but making gamers use the headset and eye thing seems like something that might get rejected

[gnarly]

HereticPB, where did that come from? Very intresting...

Anyway, I thought this was intresting too for all you people who are confused about multiplayer...

http://ga-forum.com/showpost.php?p=1361968&postcount=482

What does this mean? Basically, imagine playing a multiplayer game on one Revolution, on seperate tv's. This would eliminate the hassle of playing split screen with a friend.

[HereticPB]

I bet its optional.

[Flaccid Acid]

It's made by a very talented fan, that's what I think.

teh revolusion will messes up my hairz1!!!11eleven11! roffle roffle l0lz!11!1!1one

It'd be cool but man my hair would get messed up.

[linkgomez]

omfg i love nintendo :D :) i hope this is real

[OnBake Platinum]

That was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. I like how the 'toaster' part just sits on the ground. From the pics, I thought you would put the entire thing on your head. But no, just the little thing.

Odd placing for the mic, don't you think?

[Hylian-Advocate]

OMG people!!!!

THE THING IS FAKE!!!!

It may be a really sweet video and all but it's 100% obvious that it's fake.... ....don't you think if it were real that IGN would have to take it off their site. Nintendo goes to sites all the time and they would pounce on that shit if it were real...

Not to mention that it's way too radical to be true... ...Nintendo wont go with virtual realy.... ....it just wont happen... and the characters were all wacked out of shape....Nintendo wouldn't do that either.

I'm not trying to burst your boubles or anything....ITS JUST FAKE! sorry.

but you all should watch it if you havn't cuz it a great video nonetheless.

(I personally wouldn't want it to be true anyways.)

[Skull Kid]

Well no shit it's fake...

It was still cool though.

[HereticPB]

Again you trust IGN? LOL PMG its Teh Fahk!!!111!!11!!11

No really its teh Fahk!

[Hylian-Advocate]

^I'm not going by IGN only.....It just logically wouldn't be the real deal!!

[HereticPB]

I don't care what people are saying Perrin said sleek and I believe!

Perrin Said it was sleek and about 3 dvd cases stacked on top of each other she was talking about the visor and the system. And If I'm wrong I'm wrong.

Look at these attachments - V

[Generosity of God]

i am pretty sure i saw that brain design sometime last year. dont ask me to prove it because i cant. all i remember is that i saw it in a game magazine article. cant remember which magazine or what month. i just remember seeing it and shrugging it off as one of those crazy concepts made by someone with too much spare time.

[Notedog]

Backwards compatibility confirmed. So... Is that proof enough that this is bullshit or... not?

[Notedog]

http://www.zeldax.net/?page=mm/mm

Go to realistic Video at the bottom. I'm guessing this video is from the same group of people that did that.

[Lynk Former]

Definately shares the same style as the Revolution video... wonder if anymore vids can be found from these guys...

[Kliq]

That quote that Herectic posted was very interesting. But then again, I agree with Nintendo telling IGN to take it down. If it was real, there is NO WAY Nintendo would want it up. And plus, I bet the guys at IGN already know how the Revolution looks like, so they'd know if it was real or not. And if it was real, they'd never put it up (especially with the new Nintendo/IGN partnership).

[Kliq]

Notecat - that video was very interesting and shared the same style as the Nintendo On video.

[Viral Mutation]

if this is real, then TAKE THAT XENON AND PS3!

[Shade Valkyrie]

Seriously, this stuff would rock with Metroid, imagine looking around the room by actually moving your head around, best camera solution ever(!!); it would be like actually being Samus and looking through her HUD. - OMG, I think I would pass out when fighting the bosses then, seriously.

The Mario game looks awesome too, even though I agree Mario looks a bit out of place, but I could get used to his look though..

A part of me want this to be true and another part wants it too be fake, bah... oh well...

[Kliq]

I think its been confirmed as a fake, and the guy who did it was also the one behind the Majora's Mask, F-Zero and Mario Videos that he's infamous for.

The guy has too much time on his hand.

And yea, the 2002 release date for Gamecube was a bit out of place. The guy is probably from Europe.

[gnarly]

Please. He created one of the most innovative and believeable mockups EVER for a console and you say he has too much time on his hands? I've heard way too many people say this about this video.

[Kliq]

Please. He created one of the most innovative and believeable mockups EVER for a console and you say he has too much time on his hands? I've heard way too many people say this about this video.

Who cares if its beleivable, thats usually the point when doing mock-ups. It is a good video and pretty amazing, but you need a LOT of time to make something like that.

[HereticPB]

I think that Toaster oven looking thing is like a Magician using slight of hand. He gets your attention distracting you with his left hand when his grabs your wallet, watch, or switches cards.

That one picture of the box on the bottom is the true system. That does not mean the visor goggles are not true!

I find it funny that no sites are talking about this outside IGN. That makes me wonder.

Go to realistic Video at the bottom. I'm guessing this video is from the same group of people that did that.
when i download that video, i get sound, but no video...

[pac4life]

thats ok i guess...
but i think its fake
the system is 3 dvd cases thick. The year for GC is wrong. (this is obviously european made).
and a virtual reality thing? that sounds cool, but it cud cause the start of brand new physical problems.
its posible though, but i sorta dont like it.

[Kliq]

when i download that video, i get sound, but no video...

You have to use DIVX to play it.

[HereticPB]

Well it seems to be fake. another forum I venture too traced it back to Vandal.net to a guy name Pablo Belmont!

Go here and check the 12th message on the page
http://www.vandal.net/foro/cache/239109_2.htm

[Hylian-Advocate]

wow..... I hate to sound like a jack ass.... ...but having to try and prove this video wrong is just dumb....

It was obvious the first time I watched it...

I'm not trying to be rude or anything....I just don really understand why people were all like... "oh man....if this is true!!!'

[HereticPB]

Well now that we know its fake lets have some fun!!

Check the attachmetns - V

[Shadow Voa]

Celebrate, its acutally pretty fun since I saw this before getting drunk at a party on Friday and 5 of us laughed at the video and did impressions of wearing the visor and playing a game on this "system". It was actually quite amusing and we all knew that it was fake since it was qite obviously much to strange to be shown as it was...a few Xboxian fans teased this was the real thing but we all had a good laugh about this thing. Laughit up and take a deep breath and buckle your seat belts for E3:2005 Nintendo Revolution next week!

[PornSharK]

All I can say is, hopefully (or most likely) Nintendo's presentation video at E3 will be so much better. Nintendo is very much capable of making a real kickass video presentation like last year's E3, I sure it's one great roller coaster ride.

[HereticPB]

I'm sure most of you checked out that 'fan-made' video with a "Nintendo On" mock-up. If you haven't, go download it at IGNcube. Man, I really enjoyed watching that. The guys who made this must be really, really talanted.

The weird thing is, the more I watch the video, the more I'm convinced that there's some sort of truth to it. First of all, look at how fishy the timing is; pre-E3 and after the Xbox 360 MTV showing. Second of all, since when has IGN been hosting 'fan-made' videos? Remember, IGN and Nintendo are a team now...so this video could be Nintendo's way of hyping up the people, just like what Micro is doing with ourcolony.net. Sure, the 'mock-up' looks mostly bogus (especially with the 'making games' part), but there are some ideas which seem very 'Nintendo', the visor in particular. How about those Mario and Metroid bits? I simply can't beleive that these are fan-made; they look SO next-generation to me...they even look better than the Xbox 360 games we're seeing right now. I especially love the way the Mario bit looks; everything including Mario himself looks funky and stylish.

In addition, there's a fact which may give this video some truth. Remember a year or so ago when Nintendo announced that they will be extending the GCN's life by making some sort of add-on? Well at first we thought it was some sort of "Eyetoy" thing back when Nintendo registered a weird symbol of a camera...but then last year's E3 came and went, and we haven't heard of any add-on at all. Probably Nintendo scrapped the news in the last minute. Anyway, this "Nintendo On" isn't a mock-up of the "Nintendo Revolution system" per-se; it's a mock-up of the add-on device I'm talking about. It shows in the video iself arrows that connect to a PC screen, a TV screen, a GCN, and something with a "?"...the latter IS the Nintendo Revolution System. This add-on could be part of Nintendo's 'revolution'. Pretty slick on the wording, eh? Maybe that's how Nintendo's fooling us; it's revolution is not limited to the next-generation system only, that mysterious add-on could be part of their next-generation plan. Plus, developers can be more free if what I'm saying is true; if they want to use that innovative add-on's features in conjuction with the GCN/Rev, they can. But if they don't want to, nobody's forcing them to...it's an add-on.

In conclusion, it's highly unlikely that the video is 100% true, yet there are elements which are closer to the truth. I personally think that the visor and the Mario/Metroid showing are real. But what do you guys think? If this is 100% true, then how would you react? Futhermore, after reading my analysis, do you think that some part of the video is close to what we're gonna see in E3? Hmm...if this "Nintendo add-ON" is indeed true, then there's potential that it will be released this year to extend the GCN's life. Plus, we get to taste Nintendo's "Revolution" beforehand.

"You saw on the helmet how there were 2 distinct self loading ports, both of which were for DVDs. One says "play games" and one says "make games." Well what if you could do just that, make games...here's what I mean. Imagine you shove in a DVD-RW and you are allowed to change physical characteristics of the game, something like the N64DD allowed. The way this would work is that you shove in the DVD into the On and it saves it to the HD, then you make the changes and you save only the changes to the DVD-RW. You could then go to a pal's house an upload the DVD-RW, so long as he has the actual game and you could play with your unique game. Think it's impossible, well that's what everyone said about F-Zero DD."

Now that's a niiiice idea man....and very possible! I thought of this before when I talked about my 'expansion pak' idea...you know like what the PSP is doing right now with Wipeout Pure. Nintendo can release some extra content of a game in some sort of DVD-burner or a special memory card or even via net...then it burns into the existing game. My God...that would rock.

HMMMMM?

Edit: I just wanted to say that this mockup video has made its way to Gametrailers.com. It is now on IGN and GameTrailers. Twisted!

I could get used to that Mario, even though he looks a little wierd, but Samus in the Metroid 'game' is just too poorly proportioned, which is a main reason why i think this is fake.

[Generosity of God]

isnt that samus actually from metroid prime and only looks funny because your looking at it from the wrong angle. if you were wearing the glasses properly i am sure it would look like it should.

[Mr. Coww]

The skinny shape of the characters was to show the player as them - the guy wearing it was a tall skinny guy or i assume as much, i think its fake but lord they did alot of work on it.

[Flamin Scotsman]

i loved the introduction bit../ i creamed...

it is an awesom idea but some factors are difficult, ne being what if you play your consoles in the attick? you wone be able to stand up
and also how could you walk around? if you almost walk into a wall you would turn or waslk backwards, both of these things will be picked up by the sensor and the game you would do the same thing..
eh
also, if the visor connects to the "brain" thats means there only one potential player, we know ti can go online but it rules out multiplayer games at home

I can't believe that anyone could possibly even think for a second that this is real. It's an excellent video, but it's clearly a fake. I mean let's stop and look for a minute and try to pretend that could be real. How the hell would you play? You won't have the space required to move all around a world in the confines of a room. You also wouldn't be able to see in front of you so there's nothing to stop you from hitting anything. It doesn't fit what we already know about the system (size wise and all) not to mention I can't see how that could feasibly be backwards compatable. It's fake - it's cool, but it really is fake.

[Shade Valkyrie]

You won't be moving around the room, duh!

You just take a hard step forward to make the character run, step back again to stop, move your arm around to aim etc.

It's fake, we are not trying to prove something else here, we are trying to do some speculation, some of us like to do that before E3.

[Generosity of God]

i personally didnt believe it was real and still dont.

i, like most others here, think it was a well thought out vid.

even though its not real i still like to analyse it.

not to analyse it if its real or not, but just to analyse the ideas in it.

for instance what was the makers meaning for 512,000,000?

Edit: ummmm it got posted before i could finish look down for finished post

[Shade Valkyrie]

Oh, I'm pretty sure that number was reffering to the amount of castles which again was reffering to the online community network.

for instance what was the makers meaning for 512,000,000?
what did he/she mean by make games?
why did he/she show a box with a '?' on it?

etc

those are just some of the questions that people ask when they see it.
if they ask those questions in a forum does that instantly mean that they believe it's real? no
i actually didnt see anyone who thought it was real. there were some who said 'probably not real but i'm not going to say its definitely not real because i will look like an ass if it does turn out to be real'.
i am pretty sure that everyone here already new it wasnt real when you made that post

[The_Cat]

I bet Sony or Microsoft made it. They tried to make something so revolutionary that no matter what Nintendo shows at E3 we will be disappointed because the "Mock Video" had us so hyped that we are let down by what the Revolution really is.

[version2.0]

Possible, but I highly doubt it.
