Even more Revoltion Rumors (weirdest yet)

[Teuthida]

- Name of machine is "Nintendo 21"
- 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 (? could be Form instead of Home - katakana is vague). 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.
- Digital outputs included

If true suppose to be announced on the 27th so we'll know soon enough.

EDIT: Forgot to include this ubberly well-drawn diagram:

Nintendo 21? I hope that's just another codename. I would prefer Nintendo 5.

But that's an interesting online plan.

First touching, and now rubbing...Does anyone else feel a little uncomfortable?

Scarier thought...WHAT COMES NEXT?

Yeah, I'd love it if they called it the N5. 21 for the amount of years since Famicon was released?

EDIT: Some info on the 21:

Old as dirt but the name is Mobile 21 and Konami is holding their gamer's day event on the 27th.

Ohh, so that's what Mobile 21 is. Too bad that was never fully put to use.

Well, considering Nintendo's trend of naming consoles the same for all three regions, I don't see how Nintendo 21 would be used everywhere because the Famicom wasn't released here 21 years ago.

Hmm, oh well. Nintendo Revolution has just been an adopted nickname, hasn't it? Nintendo 21 is probably the real codename, just like DS's Nitro codename.

Interesting stuff. Wonder how well it would work in practice

[Typhoid]

I couldnt understand that picture.


It's all Greek to me.

I hope more details exist that we haven't discover yet. It'd be sad to know everything about the Revolution before it even had a release date. I'm glad they're sticking with a Gamecube style controller. I hope the 'Revolution' aspect is something absolutley mind-blowing.
