Is this Nintendos Revolution?!?!?

Interesting if true, this is a rumored commentary from the creator:

http://joystiq.com/entry/1234000180043335/#comments
"Nintendo ON by Psyco3leR [The mastermind, I suppose- Nk] I't not about any fake, but rather a complain, is an attempt to not stay cross-armed at the nasty wave of commercialization that's infecting the Videogame industry, and affecting my beloved Nintendo (the only one who cares about bringing new concepts). The commercialization forces companies to release new consoles every 2 or 3 years with the only goal being eliminating limits to the developers. And not precisely so that these [developers] could let their imaginations run wild to entertain us with groundbreaking games, but rather to make "good (aesthetically), pretty (thanks to the console's freedoms) and cheap (not precisely to the consumers)" games in less time, to sell faster. It is not my style to re-vindicate my principles chaining myself in front of some offices or lighting myself on fire at E3 [some incident from the past?- Nk], I do it in the best way I know, demonstrate my disagreement sacrificing one week to create a video that shows some of the more striking qualities of a "real" console, meaning, imagined and directed on real data using actual technology, that, despite its high cost, would permit: being inside the games, manage any type of control input implanted in virtual form in your hands, using your own body as the joystick's axis, grab, pull, drop items, use (for example) one hand to raise Mario on it and take him on your own hand to a platform to continue playing the game, permit those who wear visors level them to accommodate our vision, permit gamers create their own games taking elements and placing them as if they were Lego pieces.

Offer the possibility of playing at a game in one TV using the "eyes" of the console so it could "read" your hands in a command manner, single-console multiplayer compatibility giving signal to different virtual visors, and including an "Alpha" opacity function in the visors that, along with the manageability of the console, would permit you to play a shooter outdoors with a few friends while the console "superimposes" in the real surroundings, explosions, enemies or items. In this day and age, there exists more than enough technology for a console like that. In about a few days Nintendo will present its new "revolution", and I just hope it's not another one of those disappointments that I've been having these past years basing the revolution in the idea of continuing making such simple consoles that they don't become complicated to make, but enough to ignite the attention of the grand majority of conformist people (the casual users, who don't care in the least the inner processes of the electronic entertainment industry). And unfortunately, in the end, not only conformists, but us, the non-casual users that love this industry, buy these machines, because there's nothing better out there. That philosophy is effective up to the business side point of view, but it's not correct because it's not worthy to innovate leaving behind the honor and backstabbing your followers (We have the other companies to use such banal market strategies). I just hope that in this E3 2005 Nintendo comes back to demonstrate us all that they're the best, and like the best company in the world that it is, have ideas that are light years ahead of what a simple fan can think of."

This guy has a good heart about videogames, but he's full of stuff if you know what I mean. Nintendo being the only company to make new concepts, please. M$ and Sony have both brought something new to gaming, so don't give me that talk. I like his ideas but in the video how much would a console like that cost? Maybe next time guy, maybe.

Can you name them ?

Sony , dvd playback ? of course the saturn and neo geo cd and turbo graphics cd could all play video cds .

The xbox brought in a hardrive.... i don't remember a console before it with one . Though the saturn had a certian amount of space on it for saving games .
 
OMG jvd you have got to be kidding me. Like you said Sony brought DVD playback and DVD games to the market. I know you wouldn't count this but Sony made gaming for people over 25 cool. Sony by themselves made the 18 - 35 gaming true. True CD playback with the PS1. Giving us gamers a handheld with current gen graphics (something that Nintendo has never done).

A handheld that has one of its main purposes being audio and video playback on a huge scale. Again Nintendo has never done that. Also watch out for their handheld and its online capabilites. Its working in Korea.

M$ brought an online expirence that we as gamers have never seen before. Takes to them both Sony and Nintendo have to up their online efforts. Also like you said the Xbox came with a HDD with might end up being a "gotta have" next gen. We have to thank M$ for doing this.

Some Nintendo fans instead of hating on the PSP need to thank Sony for pushing the technology with will make Nintendo up their handheld game.

Errr .

Sony brought dvd playback , but what made dvd games special ? Dvd games only allowed more space than a cdrom game. the jump to optical was done already and movie playback was already featured in.

As for sony making gaming for people over 25 cool , I dunno i know many people who were over 25 that bought pong and other games and it was considered cool .

Sega , turbo graphics and neo geo all give true cd playback years before the ps1

Sega gave us handheld graphics on par with the genisis in the form of the nomad .

Really you haven't answered the question I was asking . Your just getting mad at me .

For handhelds you forgot the lynx. That thing kicked major ass I loved my lynx blue lightning was one awesome game. Anyone have the specs for the lynx from memory it had to be up there with the SNES and genesis? About CD playback and 3d the 3DO was out way before the saturn and PS1.

Also seganet was by far the best ISP I ever had. It made dialup gaming possible for me even with my horrible phoneline holding me to 24.4.
 
My list for console paradigm shifts in the modern (NES-?) era:

TurboGrafx-CD: First CD-based media for consoles

TurboExpress: First High Quality Color Screen. TV Tuner. Compatible with the base console media. Only handheld in history other than the Sega Nomad to accomplish this afaik.

Genesis: First console with backward compatibility (played SMS cartridges with adapter)

Genesis: First console with available downloadable games with an add-on internet adapter.

Super Nintendo: SuperFX Chip allowed first polygonal representation in console gaming

Nintendo 64: First console that allowed more than 2 players by default

Nintendo 64: First console with force feedback.

Nintendo 64: First console with standard analog stick.

Dreamcast: First console with built-in internet connectivity

X-Box: First console with a built-in hard drive

--------------------------------------

Can't think of any other 'firsts' in the post-NES era as far as hardware is concerned.

I would add first backwards compatibility genesis with an adaptor. Also the nomad was basically a portable genesis so the turbo express was not the only handheld to play console games.
 
added. I forgot about that one. :)

As for the nomad, it didn't play Genesis carts though afaik.

[EDIT]

Just checked. It did play Genesis carts. re-edited. :)

Anyway put the genesis up there with first downloadable content system (Sega channel) you could download games for a fixed cost

Anyway, the point of my post above being that MS and Sony haven't brought anything new to the gaming scene. Well, MS brought the hard drive. They have both taken concepts pioneered beforehand by NEC, Nintendo, and Sega, and in a sense perfected them and mass marketed them to the masses.

That is the major contribution from MS and Sony. But really nothing else new.

p.s.: Added something else to the list above.

oh how about neo geo ? first home system with perfect arcade ports ?

Doesn't really count. They just took the arcade boards, surrounded them in plastic cartridge casings, and sold them for $250. :)

A dagger in my heart the only system I never owned that I regret to this day. It was just to expensive for me at the time as a teen.
