Rev rumour dismissed News
Wii News by Ellie Gibson
Nintendo has dismissed rumours that the stand shown in pictures of the Revolution will double as its power supply, telling Eurogamer that said rumours are, well, rubbish.
The claim first appeared in Nintendo Official Magazine - but according to a Nintendo spokesperson, "It was a small production error in the magazine."
"We have not announced any details of the Nintendo power supply at this time," the spokesperson added.
The stand shown in the pics is just a stand, it seems - which makes sense, since we know you'll be able to position the Revolution either horizontally or vertically. As for the power supply, guess we'll just have to wait till E3 for more info...

'Not too fussed about power supplies, not unless they over heat or catch fire. The X360 springs to mind'
Yawn. They don't do either if you follow simple instructions for it's placement. |

Perhaps they'll just re-hash an old power supply and just claim that it's paying homage to the company's past :)

I like how on the front cover of the current issue of NOM it proudly proclaims to have the "World's first hands-on session with the Revolution controller!" even though many magazines like Edge and Famitsu had done so last year at the Tokyo Game Show.

Since the Rev won't be really that powerfull as the other next-gen consoles I'm guessing it will probably run with the same photocell power that calculators have been using for some time now.

Is this degnerating into "my power supply is bigger than yours" thread?
Still, Im shocked to see 360 owners posting stuff like that. Have they not got anything better to do? Like play decent games? Oh.. erm.. oh yeah.. .. Lights fuse.. stands well back.

People are waiting breathlessly on details of the Revolution's power supply unit? Seriously?

shouldn't all rumours and pretty much anything about the revolution be discounted until e3 now, i mean nintnedo have said that's when more info'll be released and they're just dismissing and denying any other rumours....

i hate nitendo, they show no support for the gamecube, its all about the Rev. & the stupid DS, which by the way they support it more then the GC. they make one and the same games Mario and Zelda.
if you think about buying a gamecube dont, you will regret it. believe me its not worth it. PSP has more and better games then the gamecube. |

Can't be much of a radiator, can it? But then, I suppose who needs a central heating system with a 360 throbbing away. |

So what if they do? If you liked the first one enough to buy one, why would you care if a nicer looking one (to entice more people to buy one, and thus more games to arrive) came out a bit later on? Regardless of which, if it's like the DS it'll be PURELY cosmetic. Would you rather they bought out newer versions of the hardware (say for example with a harddisk, or Blue Ray Disc Drive), and then only have games whch support them, forcing you to buy new hardware? Erm.. Hang on.. Where have I seen that before? |

Has there been a redesign of the gamecube? no!
Following along those lines, there probabbly won't be a redesign of the revolution as there's really no point considering it being a home console. Did anyone complain about the ps2 redesign? no... |

smelly im sorry but im one of the people that will insist on waiting 12 months until they bring out the revised powersupply that's 5 milimeters smaller in width depth and height a different colour and slight ipod styling.
I will forgo those 12 months of great games! style is everything! im not falling for that redesign thing again ninty! |
