There has been a TON of speculation on Nintendo's upcoming console but little is actually known about it. There are so many different ideas that no one really knows what to think. So here are some supposed "facts" about the Revolution. I can't reveal my source because I've been asked not to. Sorry guys. I would say that this info has at least a 65% chance of being accurate. My source has been right before and he's also been wrong. Here goes......
Ok first things first. Yes, Nintendo will utilize gyros in it's controllers. I think most people pretty much already took this as fact. Also, the Rev will indeed have dual processors. Also broadband is built in, no modem to buy. Nintendo has an online strategy in development. It will be implemented on the DS first. There are no current plans to connect the DS and the Rev....the GB Evolution on the other hand......
The Rev will have four controller ports. It will have a hard drive which will be used in much the same way as the 64DD was supposed to be used. Things like Dolby Digital 5.1 and high def monitor support are included. There is no type of virtual reality or "any kind of headset planned. It is backwards compatible with Gamecube games. It will use the HD-DVD format and not Sony's Blu-Ray. Controllers are not wireless, but wireless controllers are planned. It will launch with an unnamed Mario game and work on Zelda has already begun. Super Smash Brothers is in mid development and will be a launch title.
Ok so what's the Revolutionary part? That's what you all want to know. Well my source wouldn't tell me. He said it would get him into too much trouble, and could give Sony and Microsoft an advantage at this stage in the game. But he did say this; "if you think too hard you'll never guess what it is. It's nothing "new" technically speaking. It's just something that hasn't really been applied to video games yet."
He then said "touching is good but feeling is better". What exactly that means I have no idea. Some sort of force feedback device? We already have rumble packs.
Resumiendo:
- Los mandos usarán tecnología gyration.
- Procesadores duales.
- Adaptador de red integrado.
- Nintendo tiene una estrategia online en desarrollo, primero aparecerá en DS.
- No hay conectividad entre DS y Revolution, pero deja abiertas las puertas a una futura conectividad con gba2.
- No tiene nada que ver con realidad virtual.
- 4 puertos para mandos.
- Tendrá disco duro y hará la función que se suponía que realizaría el 64DD en su tiempo.
- Dolby Digital 5.1 y conexión a monitor para alta resolución soportado de serie.
- Compatible con gamecube.
- Usará HD-DVD como soporte.
- Mandos no wireless, pero se planean.
- Un nuevo Super smash bros está en mitad de desarrollo y estará listo para el lanzamiento, al igual que un nuevo Mario de nombre desconocido. Acaba de comenzar el desarrollo de un nuevo Zelda para Revolution.
Y lo más importante, sobre lo revolucionario de la máquina: Su fuente no quiere aclararlo porque se metería en problemas y daría ventaja a microsoft y sony. Dice que aunque lo reflexionemos mucho, probablemente no lo averiguaríamos. No es nada que no exista, simplemente es algo que nunca se había aplicado en los videojuegos.
Touching is good but feeling is better. Tocar es bueno, pero sentir es mejor: Con eso resume lo revolucionario de la máquina.
Por lo visto dicha fuente acertó en las características de la DS que luego se confirmaron en el e3, pero fallo en otras cosas, por lo que aquí se expone no es algo confirmado al 100%.
