Revolution speculation by Aries a hoax, GameBunker writer was the perpetrator.
UPDATED: Just thought you guys should know, Phoenix Dark's forum name has been changed to Aries, he doesn't know about this change and is probably gonna be pretty upset. But as administrator of the forums, I think it's time he chooses a name and comes clean.
It's true, and in the prior hours it's come to be that not only do people not trust me over this, but I've already got the usual string of gay porn and such to protest what I said.
Here's some news about Nicholas Wilson (Nightwing); I am probably one of the biggest Nintendo fans on the planet, a fanboy I suppose you could say, when Revolution was announced and detailed at the conference, I was happy as hell. Perhaps I was sad I didn't get to see these new games we hear so much about, but SSB online is something good enough to wait for I think.
In short the answer to the question you're looking for is: no, Aries knows nothing about the Revolution outside of simple guesses.
Phoenix Dark (our own writer here); concocted the whole scheme on his own, he was just trying to generate hype for the console and see if he could counter the popularity Brooke at BrokenSaints got. Well he succeeded, people the world over now believe there is a mysterious Nintendo employee out there named Aries. The truth is there is no such person. Aries posted under the comments of the Brokensaints.com blog so his IP could not be easily taken up by the admins and given to me.
Believe what you will, but Aries is not going to surface again to give you anymore insider info; he never had any and he certainly doesn't have any now. Maybe tomorrow Aries -will- talk; maybe Phoenix Dark will fess up and put a post here to explain that it's over, there is no secret announcement and that you can all go to sleep tonight. But if he doesn't, I suppose you could continue to speculate; I know there is no proof on this earth I can give you, you cannot learn my character in mere hours. You're welcome to try though; if you want, read the GB boards here, find out who Nightwing is, what he likes; how he acts. See if you think I'm dishonest, evil, canniving; or an Xbox fanboy.
If you do want real information on this, talk to the man himself; his email is listed on the staff page. For the background again: Aries is just finishing high school, he isn't in any high level programming class, nor does he know how the interior of something like the Revolution would work. He took a few guesses at the kind of software he'd like to see (he said Square support, not FF:CC, doesn't that clue you in?); and Smash Bros. Online is something anyone could have guessed (it is afterall the most successful Gamecube title). He's a great guy and you shouldn't hate him, but you should know there is no secret coming.
Right here I'm going to provide you with what little evidence I have as "proof" that Phoenix Dark is Aries, first is a bunch of PMs between me and him, several weeks ago as a matter of fact. These are in chronological order, a conversation that took place between myself and Phoenix Dark that honestly I didn't believe at first.

If the pictures aren't good enough for you; the only other thing I can offer is Phoenix Dark's behavior on GameBunker's forums, and how he constantly reaffirmed the need for Nintendo to have Square Enix on board for the Revolution:
