Here you go:

Brooke got some things right, but much of it is flawed. I don’t know whether he just made up a lot of that stuff, because many of the points have been disproven before. For instance, Game Informer wrote an article on the next generation consoles in which it claims the Revolution’s controller will have one giant touch screen. I’m thinking this is where Brooke got that idea. The Revolution will not have a touch screen. Iwata has stated this before. The controller will be quite normal in the sense that it will have a d-pad and buttons. Like I said, I’m not going to tell you the revolutionary aspect of the system. Nintendo has some cool pre E3 plans for that.

First off, the 3D visuals he mentioned have nothing to do with the system. Nintendo isn’t crazy.

It will also have gyroscopic controls, but like Brooke said, not all the games will use it. For instance, earlier I mentioned Nintendo has a Halo killer in development for the Revolution. This game will use the gyroscopic controls for aiming as wel as other things. Our game isn’t using this function.

The controller will be wireless; he’s right about that. As you also know, the Xbox 360’s controllers will be wireless as well. Where do you think they got this idea? That’s why Nintendo is still trying to determine what to show at E3. From what I’ve heard, they will show the design of the system as well as games. I’ll tell you about the software later though.

The controller will also be pressure sensitive. The pressure you put into it will determine certain things, such as movement. This is another optional capibility. Someone on Nintendo’s board mentioned this months ago. They said that “touching is good, but feeling is better.” This may sound strange, but it provides great controls. Racing games will really be helped by this control setting.

The Nintendo Revolution will also include voice control more advanced than anything seen so far. Nintendogs is just the beginning. To achieve this, Nintendo sent us headsets (similar to ones you can use for Xbox Live) that are wirelessless communicating with the console. Imagine being able to merely call for an airstrike or reload your gun by giving out commands orally. So far, we have put this feature to the test the most; as you can see, I’m excited over this feature.

From a graphical perspective, the Nintendo Revolution is very powerful. Many people seem to think this won’t be the case, but rest assured. The games I saw while working at Nintendo were very beautiful. I’ll tell you about those later.

As Nintendo has stated before, the system will be online. In my eyes, the online system they have set up is the most revolutionary part of the system. While Sony and Microsoft are busy turning their systems into trojan horses for their other electronic devices, Nintendo is going to use the Revolution for direct communication with gamers. The only way I can describe it is as an internet service. Imagine turning it on and checking your mail on the system. You see previews and demos of DS and Revolution games that you can download. A magazine similar to Nintendo Power will be exclusive to the system, and you will be able to access it on the Revolution’s homepage. As you check you mail, you will also see various invitations from gamers on your buddy list who want to play you. There are so many other ways this is going to be used. Once the Revolution comes out, there will be no reason to hang out on message boards. Message boards as well as chat rooms will be available on the Revolution so that gamers can discuss and challenge each other all day. And the best thing is that the entire thing is totally free and easy to use. Why play Madden on Xbox Live when you’ll be able to play it for free on the Revolution with much better services?

That’s all I’m going to reveal for now. There are some very interesting games in the horizon for the Revolution; I’ll talk about them later.

Like Brooke said, console ideas are nothing without good games. Once you see the games, you will understand. I would go as far to say that the Revolution isn’t as revolutionary as Nintendo is saying. It should be called the Nintendo Simplicity, because every aspect I mentioned greatly simplifies the gaming experience. For instance, the pressure sensitive grips on the controller make racing games much easier to control and play. Wave Race (yes, it will be at E3) is going to be very impressive because it will use this function. It will be sort of like controlling a game with one of those stress balls. You squeeze it and you go faster. It’s hard to explain though.

Don’t expect to see too much if any of the controller at E3 though. Nintendo is still trying to decide what to show and what not to show. The games will be revealed, as well as specs and the system design. But the controller is still being considered.

Nintendo heeft altijd bekendgestaan om innovatie in videogames, en ook in de volgende generatie thuisconsoles zullen we die traditie voortzetten. Vandaar dat we vast een paar unieke eigenschappen bekendmaken van onze volgende console, met de voorlopige naam Revolution.

De Revolution zal krachtige technologie combineren met puur op gamen gerichte eigenschappen in onze kleinste thuisconsole tot nu toe.

In zijn uiteindelijke vorm zal de Revolution ongeveer zo dik zijn als drie DVD-doosjes en slechts een klein beetje langer. De wendbare Revolution kan zowel in horizontale als verticale stand gebruikt worden, zodat spelers overal waar een televisie beschikbaar is een game sessie op kunnen zetten.

Met dank aan Nintendo's partners in de ontwikkeling van de hardware, IBM en ATI, barst de kleine console van de power die spelers zal overrompelen met zijn graphics. Loyale Nintendo-fans zullen blij zijn te horen dat de Revolution backward compatible zal zijn, wat betekent dat de console zowel de Nintendo GameCube discs van 8cm in diameter kan afspelen, als zijn eigen standaard dubbelgelaagde DVD discs, via dezelfde drive.

In de next-gen consoles zal de toevoeging van Internet erg belangrijk zijn. De Revolution zal dan ook direct draadloos met het Internet verbonden kunnen worden.

De komende maanden gaan we nog veel meer bekendmaken over Revolution, maar de combinatie van het compacte formaat, draadloos Internet, backward compatibility, snelle opstarttijd en stille, energiezuinige werking, luiden een goed begin in van een geweldige console. Maak je op voor de Nintendo Revolution in 2006!
