You know, maybe ARIES is the final name for Revolution. That would seem like a smart idea because all this hype surrounding the mysterious character "ARIES."

Oh, right, one more thing before I sleep... try pinging rs.ign.com.

For some weird reason, you get an answer back. Funny, since there's been nothing except that japanese aries guy's ramblings and the fake RS HD-DVD to suggest anything about a system called RS.

Hardly, since there have been so many Aries imposters lately, that could have been made up. Also, regardless of "Aries" hints, there's still stuff coming from Nintendo, such as that Nintendogs time/date, so even if Aries was fake, something's still up.

The IGN console thing is a huge stretch. For one they have the disc slot and buttons on the side of the console, not the end. And second the ethernet does plug into the system.

A new video

Nintendo ON

jakeOSX · « **Reply #236 on:** May 19, 2005, 03:50:09 AM »

if it is indeed the anniversary of the NES release (5/19 that is) then i suspect that Nintendo will do something. reveal the rev? show off something? smack us with Mario128? who knows.

but, they should, IMO, use the annivesary to their advantage, even if it is a 'hey! remember this?' sorta way. kinda 'we've been doing this longer and better than our competition' sorta thing.

Mario · « **Reply #237 on:** May 19, 2005, 03:54:36 AM »

Check this out

Blown up pic that was on nintendo.com before, is that a brain? Nintendo ON? Look at 5:33 in the video and you see a similar V shape.

Wasn't it confirmed (by Reggie?) that Mario 128 would be shown at E3.

HolyJudgement · « **Reply #239 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:39:48 AM »

Everyone must see the video that BlackNMild posted!

jakeOSX · « **Reply #240 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:40:58 AM »

i watched it, it looked bad, like thrown together with photoshop and imovie.

Ok. Again I will be the voice of reason. This is fake. Read my reasonings why, and I think you will see throughout this thread there isn't really good reasons for it to happen this way.

However, I will give you this.

If Nintendo wanted to spotlight the Nintendo DS and Gamecube to make sure they got media coverage, it would be smart to do it first at E3 with no big new hardware to overshadow it. Then the last day reveal Revolution and the Press has an entire day to enjoy the Revolution, but Nintendo got all there software and hardware covered equally.

It still isn't that good of a reason to have a lame Press Conference though.

Its completely bogus.

Just accept it all.

Aries is Bunk, and he was able to get a few lucky guess in about the future of Nintendo and that is all.

Aries PM 4

"I still can believe how fast this stuff spreaded".

I'm going to call these PMs a hoax. The real Aries was much more articulate and would know that "spreaded" is not a real word. The word is "spread", for past tense. Also, if this was the real Aries, that sentence would have read something more like this: "Still, I can't believe how quickly this has spread".

The "new" video doesn't load. Alternate link?

Yeah, and the 19th isn't just the birthday of NES, it's the birthday of Super Mario Bros.

The first ON video was apparently leaked, what is the likelyhood that would happen twice? Not very high.

slingshot · « **Reply #246 on:** May 19, 2005, 04:48:39 AM »

It was leaked on purpose, I don't think the second one has anything to do with this though, someone not involved with this just slapped that together.

It's very brief (10 seconds). It shows the "Nintendo On" logo fromt he previous video. Shows the prototype Revolution "black box" that was unveiled the other day. Zooms in on the power button, and then shows the Revolution, with the "Nintendo On" helmet sitting next to the console.

Though I think it's fun to think of all these "conspiracy theories", I'm taking a "wait and see" approach to this.
