Dit is wel interessant, op de IGN Insiderboard was iemand die volgens hem een 'insider' was binnen het Wii Project. Hij schreef het onderstaande stukje in December 2005 (!).
Nou is het wel bekend dat veel mensen probeerden interessant te doen via boards door te zeggen dat ze informatie hadden over de toen nog Revolution.
Maar deze gast eindigt met de tekst Kodak Theatre = Mushroom Kingdom, laat dit nu PRECIES ook zo genoemd worden op de flyer die Nintendo attendees stuurde naar aanleiding van de E3. Needless to say dat het misschien wel interessant is de oude post opnieuw onder het licht te houden. Interessant is trouwens ook dat IGN deze post snel verwijderd heeft nadat het op de server stond, gelukkig heeft iemand het gecopy'd.
Hier is de tekst:
quote:
"I have followed the rumors and speculation on this board regarding Nintendo’s “Revolution” since its inception.
It is at times torturous to see the most dedicated base of any gaming company have to resort to gossip and guesses as to what to expect from Nintendo’s next generation offering.
It is for this reason that I have decided to share.
I cannot offer anything to you in terms of my identity. I cannot offer anything in the way of proving what I am saying to you is factual. However, you will ultimately find that you need not worry who I am, for all I say will come to pass. But I suspect you know my name…
So here’s the scoop. I’m tired of watching you beautiful fans endure the torture of knowing so little, so I will share with you enough to help you understand the magnitude of what’s coming without saying enough to reveal who I am.
I’ll say this before I begin spilling the proverbial beans. Remember 1985? Remember when saying “Nintendo” meant video games in general? This is what Nintendo is aiming to recapture, and believe me, they will!
Let’s start with a question:
1. Why have we yet to see even a glimpse of what a “Revolution” game will look like?
Most seem to assume this is because Nintendo does not want the focus of their next generation games to be on their graphics. This is not entirely wrong, just a little uninformed. That being said, the graphics are essentially the same as a souped up Xbox. What you all are ignoring is that the graphics for the Xbox360 are arguably only the same as a souped up Xbox as well. Graphically, in terms of traditional graphics, the systems are equal. In terms of presentation, you will be astonished by what the Revolution holds, and it is indeed the final secret Mr. Miyamoto hinted at. Prepare to see games in a way you never imagined, and you don’t need a silly helmet or visor to experience it. As a matter of fact, a video demonstration of what “Revolution” can do circulated the internet weeks or months before E3, and then conspicuously disappeared. Such a sneaky little box! I’ll leave the rest to you!
Well…I can’t resist.
A final hint…
Think hard about the controller and what type of graphical presentation would suit it best! It’s so easy! Oh, and the controller is indeed meant to attract the casual gamer, because they'll so badly want to experience what they're seeing!
2. “Use the right side of your brain!”
As many of you have correctly stated, the right side of your brain is the creative side. So what was Reggie hinting at? Again, it’s so easy I don’t need to say it! You’re given all of the components you need, and some general structure. The rest my friends, is up to you!
3. Indeed a revolution, but in code name only. It’s 1985 all over again…
4. Wi-Fi will open doors you never would have predicted. It’s all so obvious though if you think about it, but it’s so hard for me to say without saying too much! If you’ve figured out what I’ve already hinted at, picture how the ability to download monthly offerings will that much more enhance your experience!
5. The Classics.
Many for free just for joining…one free a month…Itunes pricing per each additional first party title. Third parties will bundle 3-5 each with a new game purchase.
6. The price is right…you’ll just have to trust me!
7. Kodak Theater = Mushroom Kingdom!
I’ve said enough. What I’ve shared should be enough to get you all cooled down a bit.
Whee must never underestimate Nintendo."
