We've been Punked Nintendo Revolution Style...It seems

[Mach]

Okay rather than sitting down and writing a editorial long message explaining my hypotheses, researches, and hints I've discovered--and trust me if I started writing about this, I'd write too much--I've decided to post some portions of chats I've had with people discussing a few of the things going on with Nintendo's killer viral campaign we may very well be experiencing. The idea is folks, either Nintendo has royally F'ed up tenfold or the following items are indeed true. Aries, May 19th, Nintendo On, Right brain...here we go:

First check this site out for an interesting take: http://mozlapunk.web-log.nl/log/2569742

Aries quotes from several weeks ago:

""
I’m not going to give out the secret. It’s going to be very fun; wait
until E3. Nintendo is going to roll out a trojan horse: something that
looks innocent and weak and them bam, it will be unveiled. Just don’t
make up your mind on the first day of E3.

My credibility will be proven on May 19th. I have already given you a
hint about what will happen in the next few weeks. Pay close attention
to some of the Nintendo related stories that will begin to pop up. So
far, many have already been reported. Pay attention. And on the 19th,
don’t automatically try to write me off. There is a big suprise in
store for everyone. I’ve said that 100 times, but I can’t stress it
enough.
""

""
Another thing I forgot to mention was on the backward compatibility;
apparently the Nintendo’s new console will be able to play the games
from past consoles such as GC, N64, SNES, and yes NES. I belive this
feature shall intrigue many people out there and could possibly lead to
what I call “New Classics” so look forward to that. FOr now I have to
seriously catch some shut eye E3 will be here soon enough.

Next is a chat w/ heretic who witnessed 4 mysterious clips posted on Nintendo and then removed: (I am Throwback)

Throwback280s: something planned for thursday and friday which they wouldn’t elaborate about,

HereticBP: let me check around they may still have them on the site

Billybo77 (9:41:41 PM): Rev. will be the best money I've ever spent

Throwback280s (9:43:39 PM): here's another thing....
Throwback280s (9:43:47 PM): Nintendo PROMISED mario 128 for E3
Throwback280s (9:43:50 PM): and it's not here...
Billybo77 (9:43:52 PM): ah ha! yeah
Throwback280s (9:43:58 PM): so that leads me to believe it's still coming

Throwback280s (9:46:56 PM): they are talking about how there were teasers earlier on the nintendo site
Throwback280s (9:47:03 PM): that were pulled right before the show
Throwback280s (9:47:09 PM): like they were only up for a few minutes
Throwback280s (9:47:18 PM): and they're not there now...just redirects

May 17th, 2005 at 1:05 pm

Soooo…anyone in for the 19th?

I mean, not to get too much hopes up or anything, but just about EVERYTHING the real Aries was claiming, has come true up to this point. Ok, there were some things that didn’t fit in exactly, but hey…don’t forget he only worked for Nintendo till 2004 (IF in fact he did). Even the dissapointment right now was predicted by him. He also mentioned the prank Nintendo would pull on us this E3 and that we’d all get punk’d just like in the movie “The Game”.

But that’s not all of it. Right before the pressconference, there were four short clips on the Nintendo.com website which would be activated when trying to click on something. It showed some people in discussion on how they would fill in their E3 showing. So they got to talk about the pressconference on tuesday and some party on wednesday, and then they still got something planned for thursday and friday which they wouldn’t elaborate about, saying we “have to wait”. One of the clips also showed Reggie saying: “don’t make me do it! I’ll take your name.” and the last one showing a frowning WTF?!-like face.

Sooo…I dunno about this guys, but I still have the feeling something fishy is going on here. Not to get everyone totally hyped up again, but just thought I’d point it out.

Billybo77 (9:51:45 PM): AHA!
Billybo77 (9:52:03 PM): THAT'S WTF HERETIC was talkin about at like 5 AM
Billybo77 (9:52:04 PM): lol
Billybo77 (9:52:12 PM): he mentioned some random clips on Nintendo.com I think
Billybo77 (9:52:22 PM): and I remeber he saying that he heard that reggie quote
Throwback280s (9:52:25 PM): really?
Billybo77 (9:52:31 PM): pretty positive
Throwback280s (9:52:33 PM): I'll be f'ing damned!
Billybo77 (9:52:36 PM): lol
Billybo77 (9:52:49 PM): we're gettin punk'd man
Billybo77 (9:52:50 PM): lol
Throwback280s (9:52:57 PM): Throwback280s (9:52:43 PM): heretic
Throwback280s (9:52:46 PM): get your ass in my office
Throwback280s (9:52:49 PM): we have a meeting to conduct
Throwback280s (9:53:04 PM): I just IMed him thatr
Billybo77 (9:53:07 PM): lol
Throwback280s (10:06:33 PM): k
Throwback280s (10:06:34 PM): another thing
Throwback280s (10:06:49 PM): did you notice how reggie says tomorrow you'll have to use your right brain
Throwback280s (10:07:07 PM): in the NintendOn supposed fan video, it says you have to use your right brain
Billybo77 direct connection is closed (10:18:50 PM).
Billybo77 signed off at 10:21:33 PM.
Billybo77 signed on at 10:47:10 PM.
Billybo77 (10:55:39 PM): well, good news is, we didnt crash today ;-)
Throwback280s (10:56:45 PM): phew man
Billybo77 (10:57:16 PM): It's a big relief
Billybo77 (11:17:47 PM): so whaddaya think of that PS3 controller design? can't remember if I asked you yet or not.
Throwback280s (11:18:01 PM): DONT LIKE it
Billybo77 (11:18:06 PM): haha
Billybo77 (11:18:08 PM): me too
Billybo77 (11:18:21 PM): I think it's stupid and just doesnt make sense
Throwback280s (11:20:35 PM): I told omega all my research findings and theories
Throwback280s (11:20:48 PM): for this punk thing
Throwback280s (11:20:59 PM): i just watched the Nintendo On fan made movie

Billybo77 (11:22:00 PM): I got discsonnected from AIM
Throwback280s (11:22:01 PM): there's tons of number patterns under the thing "Revolution day"
Billybo77 (11:22:04 PM): AIM only, for like a minite
Throwback280s (11:22:07 PM): try to decipher it
Billybo77 (11:22:46 PM): ok I missed some of what you said since I got disconnected from AIM
Billybo77 (11:22:50 PM): but are you talking about
Billybo77 (11:22:54 PM): the "fake" rev video

Throwback280s (11:23:43 PM): and I see a lot of hints too
Throwback280s (11:23:50 PM): did you see the part where it says the brain thing
Throwback280s (11:23:54 PM): on the helmet
Throwback280s (11:24:17 PM): and it has the gcn outline and a rectangle box (looks like the rev we saw today) pointing to the brain part of the helmet?
Billybo77 (11:24:23 PM): and reggie was talkin bout the right brain today?
Throwback280s (11:24:26 PM): yes
Billybo77 (11:24:43 PM): hmm I may not have caught that
Throwback280s (11:24:55 PM): watch it

[Generosity of God]

i just thought those four little clips were saying no news here yet check back after Pre-E3 show. and if you kept clicking reggie would turn up and say dont make me kick your ass and take your name or something like that and then if you click again you see reggie's frowning eyes as another warning to stop clicking.

[FireRazor]

O_o...Your crazy...just...crazy

[Eidorian]

Why is Reggie just so damned cool?

[FireRazor]

Why is Reggie just so damned cool?

Because you touch yourself at night! (It had to be said...)

[bobo_ess]

that's alot of reading

[Alpha Rioja]

When the popcorn pops somebodey better tell me what's going on. Cause I know I'm gonna be sorting through the trash of 360 news and am gonna be oblivious to the awesome display that nintendo puts on

[Mach]

guys it may be a little rough to read since its chat snipits but just read it all, you'll come away with an almost enlightened mentality.

[FireRazor]

guys it may be a little rough to read since its chat snipits but just read it all, you'll come away with an almost enlightened mentality.

Yeah, it was a good read. (yes alot of it) but right now my brain is mush. ^^:

[KaizerOumft]

Hmmm, come to think of it, when I went to IGN that day for gamecube news, they had talked about the "must-see, fake video" of the Nintendo On. That could have been planted there to fool us. Also, on gamespot's Rumour Control, they said that the Nintendo On is bogus.

[=NukeBlaze=]

Although this is neight confirmed, nor definietevly denied, it seems a rumored bit of info about the Nintendo Hardware was mentioned some odd days ago at GameBiz.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=8658

"According to the site, the console will boast four 2.5Ghz IBM G5 Custom cores, with 128KB of level 1 cache and a 512KB shared level 2 cache, while the graphics will be powered by a dual core ATI RN520 chipset, with 16MB of on-board eDRAM for the frame buffer."

It is very possible that even if this is false, if there is some "Suprise" there could be some truth, espeically the dual cored R520 ATI unit with ATI current going gun-ho with Nvidia's PC SLI. Parralle would make sense, and the R520 core would fit into ATI's 2005 Launch schedual to make Spring 2005 for Nintendo. Who knows. I would expect the processor to also be multicored in some fashion. IBM has been doing quite a fine job with thier power PC 5 line and it would make sence for implementation. It also seems fishy that all Revolution shots thus far are nothing more than what seems concept art.

Only time will tell, and hopefully it will be true. Satoru Iwata Seems like a person that would go along with a stealth market ploy, and Reggie is already certifed insaine. Either way we will get more Nintendo news, A big Nintendo Supries, and/or Reggie taking down a PSP Character macott with a GBA-micro grafed to the end of a fire poker.

[link-to-future]

We very well may be getting punked people. We'll have to wait and see.

[KaizerOumft]

I wish I had a time machine

[Glenn2K4]

sure seems like a punk-like ploy

[Teh Roxor!]

I don't think the "right brain" comment means anything. It's common for people to refer to the "right brain" as the side of your brain that does creative thought, and the left as the side that does logical thought. (or perhaps the other way around??) Plus, I think I remember Reggie using this phrase last E3.

[Alpha Rioja]

That was a very interesting press conference albeit a very long drawn out one. His comment about the right brain seemed pronounced however you may be right that it means nothing. I think i'm gonna buy a DS just for Nintendogs hehe.

[gnarly]

IGN.com has registered nintendoon.com. Why?

[Alpha Rioja]

insiderz information from their buddies over at Gamespy? or perhaps they're just noobs

[SuperLuigiBros]

Im so convinced that we are getting punked. I was so pumped to see some footage of a new SSBM game. Its all I want!!!! Last years Nintendo press conference was fucking awsome, and this year we got electroplankton, nintendogs, a chunk of Revolution info and not much else. I was thinking, if they dont reveal all of the Revolution this year at E3, then if they show it next year itll be like a month away from being released.

[=NukeBlaze=]

Still is Bizzare that all large sites do not have a REvolution section, but have them for Xbox 360 and PS3. Do they know somthing we don't?
