Apparently the same person that leaked information about Nintendo’s portable handheld the DS, has also leaked information about the big N’s next generation console.
- That Nintendo is building gyroscopes into the controllers, presumably to add some sort of motion-control aspect to games.
- The console will have dual processors and built-in broadband (we’re assuming Ethernet, but maybe also WiFi?).
- There are no plans to connect the DS to the Revolution, but there could be some integration with the Game Boy Evolution.
- The Revolution will have four controller ports, a hard drive, and support for high-resolution displays and Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound.
- The console will be backwards-compatibility with GameCube games, and in what would only be a swipe at Sony, its drive will use HD-DVD, rather than Blu-ray, discs.
- The console will launch with a new Mario game (of course), and there is a new Zelda game in the works.
