Revolution rumours

Posted on Tuesday, 25 January 2005 by Speed, source: CVG
CVG has noticed a whole bunch of rumours that are floating around the web concerning Nintendo's upcoming next-gen console, the Revolution.

Of course, all of this are rumours and speculations but we'll give you a rundown anyway :

  • Motion and tilt-sensing gyroscopes will be used in the controllers. They will not come wireless as standard but the Revolution will have four pad ports like GameCube.
  • The console will be powered by twin processors and will feature an internal hard drive. Games will come on HD-DVD format discs rather than Sony's Blu-Ray format.
  • Broadband online gaming will be available out of the box via Nintendo's own service, which is currently "in development" and will be rolled out first on DS.
  • The Revolution will not feature connectivity with the DS but will link up to Nintendo's next-gen GameBoy.
  • Work has already begun on new Mario, Zelda and Super Smash Bros. titles, all of which are to be available at launch.

  • We'll know soon enough how much truth is behind these rumours as Nintendo will probably give a full disclosure on it's new console at E3 in May.
    That last point seems overly obvious already though :)
