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

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

Apparently it was a rough design from what the person saw.

It was traditional Hanafuda cards.
In terms of the NES (not the Eastern Famicom), i was released in the early eighties. The first Nintendo video game success.

*sigh* Yes, games of hanafuda.
Nintendo have been in the computer gaming business for 21 years then.
Icarus just give it up and admit you were wrong.
