Posted February 14, 2006 Alright normally I am not a big fan of patents nor do I like to read endless pages of them but well this one consists just of a few pictures. So maybe some is interested that the Revolution will have 2 fan holes, AV output, Power connector, 2 x USB and a hole I can't tell what it is for yet.

Posted February 14, 2006 or maybe it's gonna be used for copying pokemon from the DS to the Revo lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Good move to place the fan at the back, it's looking elegant. I like that the console has rubber feet both ways, and that the powersupply is located at the bottom of the console when stored horizontally so it wont be top heavy. It's a good design.. at least now we can conclude that the USB ports are placed at the back and that there is something else under the hatch at the front. The connection really baffles me though, we've been told the system will connect to a standard television internationally.. which is why there is one proprietary output which will ship with an international connection for TVs and computer monitors. That port though, very confusing. I'll do a little research later and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 it uses the same tv output (or input?) as the cube, 64 and snes. nice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 it uses the same tv output (or input?) as the cube, 64 and snes. nice Are you sure? To me it looks a lot different. It seems to be a bit thinner and the shape is entirely different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 They always use the same one. I hope that never changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 If they want to support every TV + 480p support they have to change something I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 the other socket must be for the sensor you place on the TV for the controller! the AV connector is very similar to the GC's but not quite the same. Plus thats one big looking expansion port on the bottom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Plus thats one big looking expansion port on the bottom. Thats very true. Lets hope it not a 64DD in terms of failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Probably an expansion port for the Blu-ray drive Nah, I'm 99% sure it's the port for the controller sensor, like monkeyDluffy said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Is this a real picture? If so then it has the same power socket as the cube right? it looks like it so no worries about importing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Maybe it's where you plug in the DVD add-on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Is this a real picture? If so then it has the same power socket as the cube right? it looks like it so no worries about importing It is from the EU patent/trademark database so I guess it is pretty much true. There are many more pictures which are nearly similar - I guess concept designs maybe. Yeah I think it might be the DVD dongle or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Co-sign, DVD dongle in the bottom.. I hope this thing doesn't cost much and come bundled with a crappy ass remote. Using the revolution controller in a circular motion would be so rad to fast forward and rewind in real time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Which hole is it here? if its the one below the AV output, it looks like a the kinda port for digital cameras and stuff (wild guess but hey ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 Maybe it's where you plug in the DVD add-on. im sure there isnt an addon, but a function inside, you need to unlock the function first or something i remember hearing. i agree with what was said before, ity could just be the plug for the sensors for the controller.maybe it has one wire which then splits in two, then you can put 2 either side of the tv.

Posted February 14, 2006 does the dvd dongle thing connect to a usb port? (at the back) or is the port for it located at the front under the mysterious flap? i thought i read somewhere (prob ign) that the 'real' revolution is behind the flap..... i'm sure it was when they first saw the rev in the private guarded room. I could be wrong thou. is it just a slot for SD cards behind the flap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 14, 2006 I found what i was talking about on http://www.pressthebuttons.com/2005/05/ May 24, 2005 Revolution's Revolution Is Covered By A Flap Spong claims to have had a chance to paw the Nintendo Revolution prototype box. Items of interest from this fondling session include the discovery of one flap that conceals four Nintendo GameCube controller ports and another sealed flap that apparently hides the revolutionary aspect of the Revolution. Another flap, the important and ominous-looking one on the front, would not open."There's a clue there," we were told by senior Nintendo staff today as we pawed the hardware, which we could power on and off and fully examine. "That's the Revolution, right there." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 i doubt the sensors will require wires, when everything else is wireless, having wires dangling over the back of your tv will be messy, and they've already stated that the DVD dongle would fit inside the machine out of sight completly. saying that, last month's edge stated that DVD playback had now been built-in.

Posted February 14, 2006 Dam can't tell if power socket is GC or not,in some of the pics it is and others its not.Gotta wait for more screens of the back of the rev.Spong were wrong,its just where the SD cards go.There was a discussion a while ago that some of us had.It could be where the sensors are.But the SD cards do go in there,thanks for the links monkeyDluffy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 14, 2006 SD is not a revolution though. the DVD dongle is 100% confirmed as internal, so it should slide into the bottom of the console as we suspected earlier. I really think it's something crazy in there.. it could well be sensors, I think it's something more.. perhaps it's wireless electricity! I don't think we can discredit Spong, they were there.. they say they've touched which means they've spoken with real Nintendo staff and have been given the 'revolution inside there' treatment.
