A new interview
As i proposed you last ime, you have been much to ask questions, so as promised i'll now answer to the most intersting of them (there is a huge quantity... i think to Kevin anyway. BTW, if you want to publish this interview on your blog, there is no problem). So good reading !See ya.
Seira
Will SEGA games be available to download alongside for its previous systems?
=> Certainly not.
When we 'buy' a game online with the Virtual Console, does it stay registered forever or is the 'buy' simply a once-a-moment download?
=> You can keep it forever after you bought it a very few bucks.
So if the ON or some form of technology really does exist, does it utilize 3D stereoscopic technology?
=> This is not the exact term, but i see what you mean, and the answer is yes.
What can you tell us about the LCD or displays inside the visor?
=> They won't be so expensive to produce. And great quality, believe me.
Are they panoramic to fill the entire eye's viewpoint?
=> This is a very relevant question, and th answer is yes, of course. Virtual Reality studies showed that if people do not see the limits of the screen, and so do not see the environment outside the screen; they really feel inside the virtual world. Wonderful and easy perspective.
Why do you think Nintendo has chose the huge Kodak theatre to unveil the Revolution?
=> Hey, a huge theatre for a huge event, isn't it the best choice ?
How far along are Mario and Smash Brothers 3 in development?
=> Mario development i on the way for more than two years now, and is almost finished to be avaible at te launch of the console. However, even if Smash Bros is on the way for a few months, i doubt it would be finished for the launch of the system. As you probably saw, the real programmation part has just begun as Nintendo is looking for graphists and so on.
How much will the system be and will it be sold in pieces (EX: Main system and Visor)?
=> Less than Xbox 360 and PS3, bu the definiive price hasn't been defined yet.
What can you say about the system specs?
=> Nothing for the moment, sorry. At the beginning of 2006 maybe.
How does multi player modes work? Does it support 4 or more Visors?
=> 4 players will be able to play together, you'll see how. Little surprise. I think you're tired to hear this, but Revolution is a surprising system !
Does the Visor use Augmented Immersion technology which means you can view your room in the game and have it look like say a level in Metroid as the video appeared to showcase?
=> This is one of the ultimate tricks...
Miyamoto claimed to have never seen the ON video. What do you think about his comments?
=> I think that Miyamoto-san is lying on this point. He's so intersted in innovation in he world of video games that he must have seen it. Why does he tell he never saw it ? Intersting question, but i do not have the answer.
Whats the official name of the system?
=> Nintendo RS or Nintendo MS very probably. But some news ideas emerged recently, so...
Can you explain how Nintendo can develope this technology affordably when other Visors sell for around $900?
=> Mass production, and anyway some technologic tricks...
Miyamoto is working on a new game franchise for Revolution. Do you know anything about it?
=> I know nothing about that.
When is the system coming out?
=> In the best of cases, June 2006; else it will be between September or December 2006, which is more realistic.
Do any other blogs contain any facts about the Revolution or are they all fake? What about this blog: http://www.freewebs.com/revealingtherevolution/
=> Most of blogs are fake. But some real details sometimes. About the blog you talk, i know it. Intersting data, but beware.

Fake or not I want to thank you for answering our questions. Here is four questions for you that you could just answer in the comment section if you like.
Is Nintendo developing a new version of the Powerglove or something similar to it?
Is there any proof (video/images) you can give to show us that you really have inside information?
What is the blue light on the console for?
Would you be interested in chatting over Messenger or Aim? You can find my chat info in my ZogDog profile.
Here are some questions from ZogDog:
IF there is a Visor (like I would love there to be) and there is some form of projection, could you give us an example of how it would be used? Would the visor simply act as some form of lens for looking at the projected image differently? For example, the TV show CSI, they wear red tented glasses with blue light to see blood or body fluids?
How many SDK's are out there right now, that you know of?
We know there were more then 99% fake insiders after the unveiling of the freestyle controller from Nintendo, what possible evidence, other then the standard write up, could you offer ZogDog.com and more importantly the gaming world, as evidence?
--- Another One From Me:
Does the Revolution have a PPU (Physics Processor Unit) Chip in it? Like talked about here:

Thanks for answering,
Kevin
A visor would be fantastic if it was me who's get to decide, and I'm sure most core gamers would agree, but how does the visor fit the picture Nintendo has given us that they are trying to get casual gamers to play with Revolution?
The controller is easy-to-use so that part fits but isn't the visor a little too intimitating and scary for casual gamers?
Please answer!
I personally find it plausible that there could be a cheap visor but I'm not sure about everything you've showed.
Good blog, fake or not!

MS you say? Or does the MS relate to something else in the above url?
This is about as full of it as any 'rumor' site.
"http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/black/enGB/
MS you say? Or does the MS relate to something else in the above url?"
MS means microsite.

There's little reason to believe me over anybody else's voice on the net, but as a UK videogame journalist who's attended far too many E3's I though it worth piitning out that Nintendo has always used the Kodak Theatre for its pre-E3 press conference... So that's no big deal.
I've also heard the whole reaosning behind the TGS vid from a Nintendo rep. The reason that sofa's were used instead of videogame footage was to illistrate the concept first and foremost; you won't be diving behind the cover of an armchair!!!
N5_Dev, there are some elements of what you say that do not make any sense to me.
1) You said, "It was necessary to have a second unit, with an integrated CPU and RAM." Why? Why not put it all in one unit?
2) You said, "The DVD drive of Revolution is for GC games and common Revolution games. On the ON, the first is for ON games, and the other... is for something that i'll still keep secret." Why not have one drive for all the games if the units can communicate to each other? Why would the ON, the common Revolution games, and whatever else require seperate drives?
NEW QUESTION:
If your under an NDA then how come you can tell us about some stuff but not other stuff? If the ON or something similar was real and you talked about it that would clearly violate the NDA.
I know what last drive is for its for making games right!?
It's not necessary to have a separate drive for ''making games'' because it could all be put to one drive...
The only reasoble use would be that there could be interaction with multiple discs at once.
An answer for Kevin : you're perfectly right. Ok, i admit : i used this excuse because i did not want to reveal everything in the same time. Because some things are still secret...I'll tell you from time to time. Very soon, new info.
Even if you are a faker, it's still fun to play this game and I enjoy reading your blog. I hope you give us some more "news" soon!
Will the ON Visor simply be an addon that is not required to play the Revolution? Will Nintendo sell the system say with the console shown at E3, the Freehand Style controller and numbchuck attachement and then you play the games on a standard TV or do you NEED to use the Visor?
Casual gamers would be turned off by the prospect of wearing the Visor. I can't see the ON being a required piece of hardware but rather an addon like the Zapper was for the NES.
It would be really nice if you could break down and doo a full article on how exactly the ON and the system shown at E3 works together and talk about the ports on the console shown at E3, where the memory card slots go, etc. I just want to get an idea of how all this works. Surely you can talk about that if you can reveal that a Visor is in the works. Could you step by step explain how the units work together? Discuss everything and also talk about the video card if you can if not at least explain in full detail how both the console shown at E3 and the ON Visor works together and I mean everything. Whats in the console shown at E3? This is the full console right? I assume the ON Brain is nothing more then perhaps a storage drive, two DVD drives, a WiFi card and sensors where as the graphics. Otherwise how would the other console shown at E3 be able to play games without the use of the ON Brain/Visor setup? Please explain.
Also please answer all of our questions above. I know theres a lot but hey I do large writeups every day so I am sure you can as well. If these questions are not answered then I will just assume that you are fake and move one. To many disapointments these days. Your the only blog left that I can't seem to nail as fake 100% so far so please continue with your effort. Also I would like to establish a chat with you via messenger or AIM. It could be a private chat if you wanted to do it that way. Anyways I expect that you will keep your promise and answer out questions...
What can you say about the new "Excitebike" game for the next Nintendo console?
