Revolution Leak?

[ShadowMarth]

Well, more news has come, supposedly a leak straight from japan. Looks legit. Some leaked photots of fully produced Revolutions (or possibly cases?) in a variety of colors and some pics of the controller Evolution.

Looking for real Revolution news? Well, SEVERAL leaked shots of Revolution related material has surfaced on the net. If that’s not awesome news I don’t know what is. If this is fake it would be one of the most elaborate fakes seen yet.

It seems as though a truly legitimate leak has been made from somewhere in Japan of some type of Nintendo booklet that appearsten to be a book published by Nintendo intended for recruiting college graduates. The booklet shows not only the evolution of the Nintendo Revolution controller, but a slipped shot of the back of the Revolution as well. The shot suggests a power port, a fan, a possbile USB port and most likely a display port of some kind.

I get the feeling it's a fake, the controller evolution page just doesn't look realistic to me.
Edit: I might as well say, according to some more pics I checked out, it looks really creative to just be one guy faking it, although it doesn't look like there's much point to a lot of the pages.

Hehe, remember this rumor? It rocked. My favorite rumor. And it wasn't far off, especially looking at the dev process.

I think you should rename this, it's really not a "leak". It's more of a "Evolution of the Revolution Controller". That even rhymes.

And that does look believable to me. Microsoft did a special on the 360 and showed all their models of early controllers. The processes seem identical for both companies on how they do mock-ups...

[ShadowMarth]

I do remember that. Almost all of them were horribly ugly.

[nmaster64]

I'd say those Revo ones are worse...

[ShadowMarth]

They're obviously not showing the whole process... Just the last several designs.

[nmaster64]

Well of course I'm not mocking the actual design, it's just the sheer ugliness of the materials and paint used to make the mockups that hurts my eyes...

[Frisky_Biscuits]

yea they were pretty ugly, but it looks pretty believeable to me
