Here is a secret extract from the first Revolution brainstorming session, showing that the console could have been so much different…
Boardroom of Nintendo HQ:
“So. The Gamecube is pretty much dying, we need a replacement. Any ideas?”
“Well, sir. It’s Bob. I have an idea I’ve been working on...”
“Go ahead Bob.”
“Well. You’ve got this remote. I’ll use this stick to explain. Look, you can use it to wave about on screen. You can be just like Harry Potter. See! I can play tennis like this...”
“Careful, you nearly knocked over my tea!”
“Sorry sir, but look. I can shoot you with it.”
“Stay away! Your mad!”
“Here, you can conduct an orchestra...”
“Get down from the table, man! Someone take him away!”
"But look, I’m hitting you with a sword. Weeee. Hey, that's a good name. We can call it the Wii."
"Take him away, take him away!"
"Hey! Why are you dragging me out of the office, I haven’t finished yet...you haven't seen the nunchuk...let go...noooo.....”
“Well. Thank god he’s gone. Now, any more suggestions?”
“Yes sir. I call it Gamecube 2...”
