The weblog's theories are interesting. It could be true, but it feels too unreal to me... Nintendo releasing a VR headset? Nice, but I dont see it coming, at leat not in the form presented in the video. But then again, the Nintendo On could be an ugly design, but real concept. Nintendo has never been affraid to try something new, like Virtual Boy and the DS. We'll see.

Well i doubt the headset is real (Nintendo arent that crazy) ... but i do think that there is a possibility that it was used to create some hype for Revolution as there are clues in the promo itself.

Remember that hing about being able to make games in the video? What if this really is true????

A quote from Iwata in the press conference: "When you turn on Revolution and see the graphics, you will say 'wow!' Our competitors have detailed the power of their core processor and display. But the advantages of our technology will also have no bearing on game play. I know, this is one of those mysterious comments"

This couldnt be real ... could it? O_o.

I still think the video was made by nintendo, I know there are some people that can create real professional stuff but with all the myserty nintendo is putting around this, I think this is just the ultimate marketing ploy.

If it was by an ametuer, doesn't making a video like that take time, was all this informaetion availbe then? Come on, I don't know the whole process but doesn't everthing have to be wireframed atleast, that should take some time. Plus actually dreaming it up the idea.

Either way someone is getting a kick out of this. :roll:

Perhaps making games might be uploading to a nintendo server to share with the world. That'd be kinda cool.

Well yeah, it would have been too much work for one person, or even a small team. All the modelling and animations etc, it would have taken amateurs ages. Plus all of the hints in it and stuff.

I would be cool if Nintendo released a device that would enable indie gamers to author software easily ... if that were true i would buy one in a second.

I wouldn't give it a second thought, I'd buy even at $300. But $350 thats bit much. :roll:

Maybe MaxCoderz would end up supporting Nintendo Revolution as well as the 83+ etc :).
