"Revolution Details and Mock-Up Video"

Details [URL] http://cube.ign.com/articles/613/613493p1.html?ui=rssFeed [/URL]. Basically just says that it will be small, about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked on top of each other and that it will use standard DVDs. It will also be WI-FI ready and will play hi-def games.

[URL] http://media.cube.ign.com/articles/613/613578/vids_1.html [/URL] for the video. Not seen it myself so let me know if it's any good - I only have dial-up so you lot will probably beat me to it.

Edit: The controllers are wireless aswell.

Is this real, Ninty-official stuff (the video, obviously, not the other one)?
Downloading now ... we'll see.

The video is a fake but a very good fake. It shows the Revolution as a V-R machine, supposedly.
Congrats on your new notable-ness!

Quite bizzare, quality video. I like the Castle section just for the abstract design and the music

Yeah but then look at the very end bit - looks far too professional.
In-game graphics, of uber Metroid and Mario it seems.

And the actual console presentation is very sleek, not some amatuer rush-job.
Consoles looks very weird - and, what, it sits on the floor, and you've also got a pair of flashy glasses? Looks like motion detection as well, which is a bit rubbish.

Mmmmm ... bit of an odd one.

I waited 5 minutes of downloading, then a further 3 of dramatic music to be greeted with a BREADMAKER. Goddamn.

And whoever rendered that anim of Mario has made him far too wooden. Like a wasted opportunity.

He looks more like Luigi in Mario's clothes.
Couldn't see much, thanks to the godawful windows media player stuttering all over the place.

Quicktime version anywhere?

While the news is authentic the video isn't. IGN even says so on the site. "The video is not real, but some fans probably wish it were."

Technically, I applaude whoever made the video, it's a great piece of 3D animation and it looks Nintendo's style - drawing on what's gone before and how they've revolutionised in the past, and that pan out from the one Peach's castle is brilliance :D

That must have taken a serious amount of fanboy geekwork.

The style of that video is exactly what Nintendo need. Maybe not the content, though.
