THe one with the 4 wavebird thingies and the GBA port.
And have you seen teh scores, Ashman?
I LAUGH AT YOU!
The devolopers are given xxx anount of data to work from, which basically says 'this is how much console power we have to work with' in order to optimise the software to the consoles processing/data transferring/image rendering abilities as much as possible.
For instance, 2 years before the release of the GC the games were developed on Apple Mac G4s. Of course when the hardware was finalised then it was run on it.
The specs (at least some) are what ive been hearing from far more reliable sources, these tie in fully with the spec in the picture therefore i believe it to be genuine.
As for the actual picture of the N5 im not so sure... it may well be fake but the specs certainly appear accurate.
If anybody believes for 1 minute that Nintendo themselves dont yet have developers making games for the next console then they are extremely foolish, Nintendo will not release a console with no software on it and the expected release for the N5 is March 2005 (Japan) October 2005 (Europe) which roughly translates to just 16 months time (Japan) which isnt as far away as some people might think.
Yeah...
