eDimensional Denies Internet Rumors About Potential Partnership with Nintendo

West Palm Beach, FL - May 5, 2005 - eDimensional, the leading manufacturer and worldwide distributor of cutting edge gaming and virtual reality accessories, today denied rumors circulating on the Internet that they were in negotiation with Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment.

According to online buzz, the Florida-based company is in discussion with Nintendo to license or sell its patented stereoscopic 3D technology, which is currently featured on the eDimensional 3D Gaming Glasses and VirtualFX console product, for use by Nintendo in future console systems. Several internet websites and forums are speculating that Nintendo is preparing to enhance the gaming console experience with stereoscopic 3D graphics. Because of eDimensional's ability to convert a two dimensional image on a standard television screen, using the VirtualFX, into a 3D image, some may be correlating this with Nintendo's possible upgrade.

"While it is typically our policy not to comment on rumors or speculation, due to the overwhelming number of phone calls and emails inquiring about this we felt the need to acknowledge that eDimensional is in no formal discussion or negotiation with Nintendo regarding our stereoscopic 3D technology," said Michael Epstein, CEO of eDimensional.

Good! I didn't really like the concept of 3-d anyway......

Good. This idea was riddled with weakness.

Good. A revolution starts with baby steps, not giant strides.

Good. My apple pie is done. Wait, what were we talking about?

Deguello · « **Reply #7 on:** May 06, 2005, 04:05:57 AM »

Good. All the responses start with the word "Good." Good.

Caillan · « **Reply #8 on:** May 06, 2005, 04:12:49 AM »

Great. This was always obviously a lie anyway, because Iwata said that the Revolution coud be played on both a normal TV and a monitor.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2005, 07:22:29 AM »

"Only 11 more days of torture to go"

Then we get a new type of torture. The options are:

1. "AHHHH!! THAT'S what they're doing?"
2. "That's not enough info. I need MORE!"
3. "That's AWESOME! Only 400 days or so until launch."

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2005, 07:57:34 AM »

I happen to like those options...

Ian Sane · « **Reply #18 on:** May 06, 2005, 08:01:13 AM »

You like option 1? That's supposed to be the bad kind of "AHHHH!" as in "AHHHH! You took a dump in the washing machine!"

I want option 3.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #19 on:** May 06, 2005, 08:04:54 AM »

Oh, AHHHH could be taken as good or bad...You should have been more specific! But Option 1 will never happen, so I'm not even going to think of its possibility...

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #20 on:** May 06, 2005, 08:46:38 AM »

Who ever said this particular company was involved in 3D-ness? I'm sure there are rival technologies. Not that I ever really believed Nintendo would bother with such a pointless feature.

theRPGFreak · « **Reply #21 on:** May 06, 2005, 09:29:23 AM »

Good. Now hurry up E3!!!!

The Omen · « **Reply #22 on:** May 06, 2005, 10:58:38 AM »

Good God people! Just because they deny it does not make it untrue. Since when did a company NOT deny rumors?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 06, 2005, 11:16:45 AM »

they only said that they are not discussing nor are they in a negotiation with Nintendo

eDimensional is in no formal discussion or negotiation with Nintendo

at this stage shouldn't all negotiations already be taken care of and all formal discussions already over?
they should be working on implementation by now.

"Good God people! Just because they deny it does not make it untrue. Since when did a company NOT deny rumors?"

Well in this case most us don't want to believe in the rumour. A denial tells us what we want to hear so we immediately buy it. In most other cases we want the rumour to be true so when we get a denial we try not to believe and speculate that something's being covered up.
