First the juice: The Last Secret about the hardware or controller.
So there is already one
thread discussing the possibility of the nunchuck peripheral having a gyro built in as well. If this rumor turns out true I would believe it would not be as fully functional as the remote piece which works with the sensor bar. Speaking of the sensor bar, our next rumor circling the last secret of the system code named Revolution involves that mysterious black bar.
In revolution.ign's
podcast it was said, and I'm paraphrasing, that some times you'll see that bar out there and some times you won't. What that means is up to you. Honestly, I don't know what the hell that means unless it means you'll be wearing a HMD with the bar attached to your head...but wouldn't that interfer with the remote?
And I have no segue for the last rumor. In revolution.ign's Nintendo Minute
26 Perrin Kaplan said, " As always, the hard-core gamers have a lot of ground to cover at E3, but they will "feel" the future of gaming in our booth." Some are speculating that she is hinting at some form of haptics.
I want to add some other rumors about software.
There is the
thread on the Knights rumor from Famitsu, but I want to throw some coals on the fire.
The developer of Ikarus this week is Retro according to a spanish site. In case you didn't get that, just the other day there were "leaked" character concepts for Ikarus bearing the Capcom logo in the corner, which could very well be possible considering that Phoenix game which never saw the light of day from the Capcom 5 aka Sir Not-Appearing-in-this-Film. But there is more. In the past I'm pretty sure EGM said Konami's Acid team was going to make a Revolution title using a Nintendo franchise, at the time, it seemed like they would fit best with something like Ikarus but on second thought it might be Eternal Darkness. And in the past I have personally speculated that Silicon Knights would do the deed of making either of those games, but that ship has sailed...
And now the most solid software rumor.
Donkey Kong sidescroller for Revolution. I know most of you would love this, but what it means is both DK and Mario Bros will be vastly different in control, otherwise it would make much better sense to just put Kong in Mario Bros. It sounds like DK will be a sidescroller according to a few rumors which could confirm that Mario Bros is 3D. At least we won't be getting another Sunshine.
oh, what the hell, while I'm at it, I'll start my own rumor, RE2rebirth for Revolution; peace.
