Hype: Revolution Mock-Up
A new fan-made Revolution video has Nintendo fans marveling at the possibilities. Must see.

May 13, 2005 - The six-plus minute video appeared on various message boards this afternoon and ever since Nintendo fans everywhere have been fighting to download it. The render, created by an unknown (and very talented) artist or artists, mocks-up what some Nintendo fans would call their dream scenario: a Nintendo Revolution that is so far ahead of the curve that it truly revolutionizes the way people play games. In this case, the console is no longer a console, but a virtual reality headset.


The video is not real, but some fans probably wish it were.
IGN has included the video in downloadable form. Readers are free to check it out. While it's unlikely that the render is at all an indication of the final system, which Nintendo plans to talk about and showcase at E3 2005, it's an impressive design feat nevertheless.

[Domination]

Sure has.

Fake? Says who?

Well, the way Nintendo described their console, it seems sort a different from this one shown. However, I'm not so sure about the controller. That looks like something Nintendo would come up with.

[FlyersPh9]

:shock: That blows away the XFLOP 1.5! :lol: However, that would cost a fortune...not happening! :-(

[Mordecaii]

If Nintendo did this, I don't care how much it would cost, I'd buy it in a second!!! This absolutely blows me away... and whoever made this movie has entirely too much talent! I don't know how they did it, but it's amazing. I desperately wish they would do something like this, and I know now that I've seen this, I'm going to be disappointed with what Nintendo actually does come up with.

[Tenchi]

Actually, this may be factual.

Why?

Well, read the news more avidly, and you would know that such a platform has been under extensive research for 7 years now. And, by none other than, well, why don't you take a WILD guess?

After extensive human research utilizing advanced micro-transistors, the Game Development Board in the United Kingdom has had a breakthrough not only in gaming, but in human mental progress. Hideo Kojima predicted it, Saturo Iwata implied it, Shigeru Miyamoto could only dream of it -- The future of gaming will not be centered around wires and miscellaneous cords. After the development breakthrough in the UKGDB and the UNLV/UOP/UOC/FSM, gaming has taken a step which movies and books could never take -- they have invaded your head. We're not talking about dreams, we're talking real-time video gaming without a microprocessor. Crazy? Sure. Fake? Do you think so? I mean, do you really think so? Can gaming, in your eyes, not evolve?

Video games have evolved as a medium over the years, and now stand here higher on the list than movies, although not true in all cases, the reverse is standard across the world's developed nations. Can your head make calculations as fast as Sony's CELL processor? No, not as fast, faster.

Extensive research using a contraption not too different from a virtual arcade headset, human movement was achieved in a mental form and enticed a virtual 'monkey' to move inside those very goggles. 7 years revealed that movement is calculated within the brain before it's executed, meaning the human head calculates every step that is taken before they are take, even if you haven't yet traveled using that route. How does everything work? Well, though complicated, it resembles telekinesis and other psychic powers, the contraption acts upon your elaboration of thoughts, what those thoughts contain are your own choice.

Customization? Yes, no such thing as an MMORPG, now it's more like a blog. Gaming will become the Internet, movies and books as well as other media outlets will never move past their current stages because they have been pushed too far off, but gaming is mental and you yourself decide what the final boss is and will be. And isn't that a gaming REVOLUTION by itself?

IGN can say what IGN says in their elongated, absurd and pointless articles but I myself am buying this format as much as I buy time. If it is what the watch says, than this form of gaming is as explained by Forbes and other news sources such as OPM and OXM.

A new platform will emerge and no one but Nintendo can introduce it. Get ready for something unseen, get ready for something unheard, get ready for a REVOLUTION, because that is exactly what Nintendo will dish out. Regardless of weather what I said makes any sense, Nintendo is innovation and innovation is Nintendo; you will see the firsts from them, not Sony and not Microsoft.

[the legendary ice man]

I agree.

Nintendo are in effect aware that they compete on standard and in-house entertainment levels.

but, they can compete on innovation. it's what they do.

[RolandG]

this is obviously fake. I guess a lot of people will be disappointed with Nintendos Revolution, because Nintendo wants to make things simpler again.
which kind of is the exact opposit to the system shown in the video

This is a problem when translating Japanese to English and the changes to the context it creates.

Nintendo is not saying they want to make simple games in that they can't be technical in nature or complex in design but rather simple in use. The more time you have to concentrate on setting up the game and the connection between the game and the player, the less time you are having fun. The DS touch screen, for example, is a complicated technology yet the interaction between the player and the game is simple.

Mainstream media love to take Nintendo's philosophies and make them sound their worst.

[Gegenki]

But i reacall reading on the BBC news website that it was Sony that did that monkey thing or at least they were envolved in it.
And we already know that the new system will be using an IBM proccessor, and not even cell is fast enough to do all that, so it has to be fake.
And Tenchi, wouldn't we all end up with different RPG's. i'd get an RPG and make it into a racing game. I'd only ever buy 1 game :D
My room doesn't have enough space to play like that anyway.
And how many of those systems do you need for mltiplayer. Everyone has to bring over their own console! - that would be bad
Bt if ninty made something like that, but made it real goood - and by that i mean without the problems i listed - I'd buy it, straight up - forget sony :lol:

Aparently is was made by a Mexican guy named Pablo (couldn't find his last name). Heres the thread where he introduced it along with the renders (http://www.vandal.net/foro/cache/239109_1.htm) (translation here (http://www.online-translator.com/url/tran_url.asp?lang=en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.vandal.n et%2Fforo%2Fcache%2F239109_1.htm&direction=se&temp late=General&cp1=NO&cp2=NO&transliterate=on&psubmi t2.x=49&psubmit2.y=9)). Theres also some more work he did on the second page.

Nintendo seriously needs to hire that guy.

[eggyoke]

Lol reminds me of an episode of Red Dwarf were they play the game "Better than Life" with the headsets.

[FerrianX]

Nice mock ups... kinda makes me thing of Ghost in the Shell.

Interesting, because I heard sometime ago that Sony is sponsoring this organization that created a device that could send signals to the brain to trick it. For example, it could send a signal of fear to make the person feel that fear. This is still under research though. But experiments have been successful. More research, tests, and tweaks have to be done first though.

[raVen]

for anyone who refuses to believe its fake (Tenchi) that mock up isnt 3 dvd cases thin

[*G*spot]

Fake or not, it's still thought provoking.

[Olz]

I hope Nintendo go on to make a gaming REVOLUTION. The industry needs one. Left to Sony and Microsoft we will probably have to wait another 15 years before we see gaming really change.
