"RUMOUR: Nintendo 21"

New rumour that is apparently from a legit source.

The new Nintendo system A.K.A Revolution will apparently be known as Nintendo 21
It will feature a Gamecube style controller, with a touch pad in the C-Stick area (which is now missing)
It will have 'Rub' control on both the controller and buttons, the controller itself will be pressure sensitive as well.

Worth noting is the connection to other systems not by Internet!

Anyway the following is a translation of what the Japanese guy translated to English. Also, take a look at the diagram which the person sribbled down after looking at both the New system and the logo!


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

Scan of the scribbled down image of the console from the leaker: [URL]http://data.uploda.net/anonymous/et...pload115602.jpg[/URL]



So then......Nintendo 21. A reference to Nintendo being in the gaming business 21 years?

So if the below text is translated right.... that means Macintosh is a spacker...

Macintosh is le spacker.

Parts of the article were quite believable but the lame picture kinda discredited it, the logo was just crap-a-mundo!

Macintosh is pure gold.

I doubt one game will use more then 6GB of those Blu Ray discs....

I was supposedly scribbled down after the leaker saw the actual Nintendo Document with the Revolution picture and specs.

Yeah Nintendo have been in the gaming businees for 21 years.

TV Game 4 was released in 1974

1974 + 21 = 2005!!!!! YEAH! MAKES PERFECT SENSE! Oh and don't even worry that Nintendo joined the games industry in 1963 and made their first game in 1964.

yeah, 21 makes perfect sense!

In all fairness, those pictures look like the sort of thing you'd draw on paint, gerrid.

Little Ween for example? :D

It's fake.

Actually, they started making games back at the end of the 19th century.

No they made cards

Sounds interesting,

Then you see the 'picture'. :S
