A must see videoclip from an unknow artist giving his view/hopes on the way the Nintendo should/could be!

Just over 12MB and a nice watch if you fancy Nintendo even a little bit...

It's most probably fake. But if it were real, who here would NOT buy one?

I've played in a Virtuality arcade once, a looong time ago. And it kicked ass. Imagine what can be done with today's technology! If any of the "big ones" released a VR-based game system, that would indeed be a revolution! Of course, that would be a poor system for shmups or 2D platformers, but if you like anything first-person... oooooh boy.

Fake. That Mario at the end looks too skinny and tackily-put together to be something that Nintendo would release to the public. They may be hurting for cash, but not that bad to release something that looks so sloppy.

Sure it's fake! But that doesn't make the vid less impressive...
Mario may get a restyling and though I don't believe the VR thing of the vid (I played some VR games at an arcade once too and agree this would blow your socks off if playable at home) I'd love to see Nintendo come up with something worthy of the "Revolution" name tag...

I liked the line someone had in the Insert Credit forum: "The revolution will be not televised." If Nintendo does use VR, they definitely have to use that line.

I am... out of words.

Can anyone assure this is not for real? I mean, who the hell would take so much time to do such a well done video just for fun?

It just blow me away

While X-Box 360 games are looking just like X-Box games... and people were talking about how there's no way to make the games any better...

If that's true.... if that's really true, oh god...

Ya know , I just watched again

Watch it with attention... it's actually 3 different videos. There's the 1st one about the "Revolution Day"... and then 2 different ones about "Nintendo On"

And the Mario Stuff in the end... if this was actually leaked, it's maybe just something that won't go into the final video.

I watched that and yes its pretty cool idea.

However you put on a helmet and your in a first person shooter running around shooting stuff!, That has the potential to destroy the gaming industry it could take in game violence to the next level aswell think about the impact that could have.

imagine your asleep you wake up and theres monsters trying to kill you, thats what a few 5 year old kids are going get when their brother puts the helmet on em!

just think of the things it would do to drug users!

How do you interface with that? I didn't see any controller? I watched it without sound though.

WarpZone · Post by **WarpZone** » Mon May 16, 2005 6:20 pm

You "interface" by moving/talking/turning. The various sensors in the visor send signals to the "brain" that's on the floor to determine what to show on the screen. Gyroscopes would also probably be used. Not that it wouldn't need some kind of controller- actually, a touch/pressure sensitive one would be perfect in this case, since you couldn't see it when looking through the visor.

The creator of the video said he wanted to make a point that this type of technology is possible today, and that the industry just isn't pursuing it. I have extreme doubts about its financial and practical feasibility, however.

Nintendo's last attempt at something like this (Virtual Boy) failed HORRIBLY. I hope the "revolution" doesn't go in that direction. I would play it safe if I was Nintendo but playing it safe hasn't been yielding them results this generation. I hope the "revolution" means Nintendo actually getting decent third-party support, something they've lacking seriously since the N64.
