If the URL string is too long, it will get chopped.

When you're copying links, make sure to rightclick (or whatever brings up the context menu in your freak OS) on the link and use "copy link address" (or something like that, depending on your browser).

Alright, thanks for the headsup.  Anyways, did you see the site with all the mockups?  Theres so much sh*t there that I dont even know where they got them, I havent seen all of them.

[nickmitch]

Could you re-post the url's?

Its all mostly BS as usual but it does provide a link to site that has a roundup of all the Rev related images that have come online. I saw mockups there that I've never even seen before.

Here's the site of the mockups
http://www.4colorrebellion.com/revo...roller-mockups/

Here's the Gamestop forum topic that talks about some "insider" that knows which of those mockups are the real deal.

The insider claims thats the prototype Rev controller and the only difference is that the C stick has been replaced with a trackball and it has gyros.

The "insider" also claims that to the a real pic of the visor that supposed to come with the system.

Anyways, just another typical day in a Rev forum lol

"when will more revolution news be announced?

Matt responds: Shortly after the Leipzig Games Convention. I don't have an exact time frame -- it could be a day or a week, but I don't expect it will be much longer."

[IceCold]

Around end of August, as expected

[BlackNMild2k1]

Actually I was expecting just before September


















yeah I know thats the same thing

[Ian Sane]

End of August sounds good.  Realistically how the hell could they wait any longer?

I don't know whether to get excited or anxious.  On one hand we get to see the Rev.  On the other hand I'm incredibly worried about Nintendo failing to deliver due mainly to the insane amount of hype that has been created.  It's like they have to deliver the Holodeck or people are going to be disappointed.

IGN better have some facts to back this estimate up.  This is going to spread like wildfire and we all know Nintendo will be the one taking the rap if nothing happens, despite them never promising anything themselves.

[Bill Aurion]

Well even though I really can't stand IGN or Matt, I do feel that they know a lot more than they are letting on...

[Nile Boogie]

End of the month? Is the wait almost over?













Satin baby, so satin.

[nickmitch]

End of August sounds cool to me. It would make such a satin birthday present.





Come oooooon August 29th. Come oooooon August 29th.

[Don'tHate742]

haha....I thought it was pretty funny how my horribly made mock-up made it on that website. Someone most of done some digging.....

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

MEGAT0N

That's right.

[Pale]

End of August coincides with PAX =P

I mean, at least it's a convention that we know nintendo is going to be exhibiting at...

Oh, and I'm gonna be there =P

Matt responds: I wouldn't call it a guess.

Hmm. As Bill said maybe IGN knows more...

[nickmitch]

MS did make a statement in Germany. . .

[KDR_11k]

So did Hitler, your point? (j/k)

[kirby_killer_dedede]

EDIT: lol, I should probably read before I post.

[Pale]

I heard in todays mailbag Matt said it wasn't a guess!!

I don't exactly trust anyone who doesn't back up their info. I mean, he didn't even say who he heard it from. He just says, "I know". WOO OMNIPOTENCE!

[KDR_11k]

Matt DOES work for a technology partner of Nintendo's, though.

[Truthliesn1seyes]

Ain't sure if this has been posted though but here goes

Well more rumors are making the rounds, first is this picture Matt at IGN posted in their forums. The pic is supposed to hint at something Rev related. Currently there is a thread of it over at Gamespot forums. Anyways, here's the url

(Sorry, still dont remember how to rename a link lol)

This next rumor isn't exactly a rumor. This was posted over at the Gamespot forums and was taken from Nintendo of Europe's site. Apparently you need to be a VIP member to access this article but here's a quote from a game tester when asked about the Rev

Quote

Erkan Kasap is certain that Nintendo's next generation console, codenamed Revolution, will provide an additional challenge to the department: "It's going to provide a different way of playing, with totally different game genres and so a totally different appeal to the market. And that means the quality control is also going to be totally different." And that's before taking into account the online dimension that systems like Revolution and Nintendo DS are planning to offer

Sounds good to me!

I was looking at the image that old Matty posted, and the most noticable things are the "360?" song (which is apparently mocking the system) and, sadly, the HD-sized screen...Personally I don't see any big Zelda Rev news coming out due to the negative effect it would have on Twilight Princess...Oh, and there's a topic asking if there will be Rev news tomorrow...

[Truthliesn1seyes]

Well at the Gamestop forums, the posters there are taking notice of the name of the track which I believe is called "History repeats" or somethin like that.  Some members looked up the lyrics to the song too and theres a line that taks bout "the revolution draws near" or somethin of that nature.  I'm sure theres more stuff they picking apart from that page though.  I don't know what could be a hint and what isnt though lol.  Don't know how deap Matt went with the clues.
