I went to WAGs boutique and all I got was a sniff
I have not been following any of the rumours or talk about the nest generation and I know its still early to discuss it, but I thought it would be nice if we made a thread where we can put all of the info together and discuss it. Post anything you can find about format, possible game releases, specs, unveilings, anything of the sort would be useful.
The only info I have is the vague description of what someone said the features of the Revolution would be, which was taken from Gamespot, but I took it from the other thread:
A GAF poster republished information he claimed originated from the "first person to give decent DS specs." Though the original source admits his information has only "a 65 percent chance of being accurate," he makes some claims that, if true, would be pretty innovative. One, he confirms a rumor that was widely circulated last year--that the Revolution's controllers will incorporate gyration technology. It will have dual processors, four controller ports, built-in broadband, and an Xbox-esque hard drive that can store downloaded and saved content. (Can you say, "Son of 64DD?") While the Revolution will be backward-compatible with GameCube games, it will not have Game Boy Advance or DS connectivity. Instead, it will link up to the vaunted Game Boy Evolution, the near-mythical successor to the GBA. Games in development include--shocker--a Mario game, a Zelda game, and a Super Smash Brothers game. But when the poster's source asked his inside source at Nintendo what "revolutionary" functionality the console would have, the mole balked. He would only say, "If you think too hard you'll never guess what it is. It's nothing 'new,' technically speaking. It's just something that hasn't really been applied to video games yet." Sounds pretty good--for a thirdhand account on a forum of word-of-mouth information that has, by the author's own admission, a 35-percent chance of being wrong.
