We of Consolewars.de had the possibility with a Nintendo approach source of developer about the Nintendo DS Browser and about the Nintendo revolution to speak.
We received interesting information and to want you these not to withhold.
For reasons of the Diskretion the source will keep anonymous, but it is insured you that she is very reliable.
To the Nintendo DS Browser:
- the announced Web Browser of the DS carries the name "Nintendo DS Browser" and by Nintendo themselves is driven out, be based however on Opera and their development.
- there is the possibility between a "Small mode" and the "DS mode". In the DS mode one gets an overview on the Touchscreen and the recording head in the upper screen of the DS. On the lower display a virtual keyboard is to be found, with which one can enter the texts.
To the Nintendo revolution:
- the CONTROLLER of the Nintendo revolution functions also on the Gamecube, at least to that of the development kit.
- the development kit revolution is very similar to a Gamecube and has similar entrances and exits and is an indication for the fact that the final hardware will be not completely as strong as expected.
- unreal the engine 3 is possible for revolution on that, hangs however of it starting from in what respect it is down-scaled.
- Nintendo could likewise offer a Opera Browser for the down-loadable plays.
- the CONTROLLER for the revolution is finished and functioned also, however it has a serial haven. This applies however only to the developer version of the CONTROLLER.
- the revolution CONTROLLER functioned actually like a 3D-Maus, there characteristic gestures of mouse possible is and above all for sword movements goes well from the hand.
- Nintendo uses one "low power" G5-Prozessor (PPC 970), that currentsaving acted.
- is the revolution more thickly than a Powerbook of Apple and also deeper, but the revolution system is not so broad, but hardly larger than the CD Slot of the Powerbooks.
- DVD Fime cannot be played according to standard. One needs a Dongle around the DVD Movie function to activate. The drive assembly can play DVDs, necessarily however an additional Dongle. Thus Nintendo does not pay fees for the MPEG 2-Lizenz.
- Nintendo the DVD function left so conceived around the customer the choice whether it DVDs to see to want and also around costs save.

I somehow doubt Nintendo will have any better luck.
xexex said:Revolution, and even Gamecube, is massively more powerful than the first generation or two of WebTV of the 1990s. even Dreamcast was. Nintendo, if it wanted to, could have a very capable web browser for Revolution. Sony could have a very capable browser for PS3. both could easily surpass what the current PSP browser(s) can do.
it's a matter of taking advantage of the hardware/software.
WebTV was very limited with 2-4 MB of RAM and a slow processor.

yilmazz said:- unreal 3 engine possible, but it has to be down-scaled
- "low Power" G5-Prozessor (PPC 970) is used and has very low power consumption
xexex said:hardware that's roughly 3x more powerful than Gamecube...
Well actually, Opera supports mouse gestures. Mouse gesture would work very well with the Revmote. Typing in urls, on the other hand. :lolkaizoku said:Portable browsing I understand.
But in the living room with no keyboard/mouse setup? Bit dodgy.
xexex said:anyone expecting Unreal Engine 3 to run on hardware that's roughly 3x more powerful than Gamecube without very significant cutbacks is being unrealistic
yilmazz said:- the rev controller included with the dev kit also works with the gamecube
- The dev kit of the Rev is very similar to the dev kit of the cube and has similar inputs and outputs. So it seems like the rev wont be as powerful as expected.
MrSardonic said:These two claims remind me of suggestions that the Revmote was originally designed as a GC peripheral but delayed when it was seen how poor GC sales were. Perhaps Revolution really is just GC+ with added VC and this controller
yilmazz said:ok, here's a translation of the rest.. only marginal better than babblefished.
- The dev kit of the Rev is very similar to the dev kit of the cube and has similar inputs and outputs. So it seems like the rev wont be as powerful as expected.

- The dev kit of the Rev is very similar to the dev kit of the cube and has similar inputs and outputs. So it seems like the rev wont be as powerful as expected.
- Nintendo may use the opera tech also for game downloads on the rev.
- The controller is completed and its working, the version included with the dev kit has a serial port.
- Rev is thicker than a powerbook and also deeper, but not as wide (not much wider than the cd slot of a powerbook)
- Its not possible to watch DVDs with the standard rev, you got to buy a dongle first to active DVD playback. Nintendo did this to avoid to pay the mpeg 2 license for every rev and leaves the decision to the customer.

ThunderEmperor said:miss translation, what the said and meant was the devkits operate the same way, if you use a gcn dev kit then rev is a piece of cake for you. also the inputs in the devkits are the same . so what they are saying is that developers will find the rev easy to deal with.
yilmazz said:I just translated what the page states, wheter they got it wrong, I don't know. But they are not saying, what you are saying. -.-
Link is provided in a post above.
ThunderEmperor said:I meant link to the german website.
MrSardonic said:yes, he posted that above, I had already asked for the link
