Jamba Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Or maybe it's just not a dongle that's anywhere as big as the Xbox one. It could still go in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century cowboy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I didn't say that the Rev would support HD or bluray I just thought I remember Nintendo saying they would go with one in the future. They must have been talking about the next home console. My memory is on the decline and I haven't even reached 20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 before i paint bucketed the 'panels' there was nothing else there, no screws or anything. maybe these are just to show that there is something there. what awas on the underside of the GC, a modem thing wasnt there? what others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoBlizz Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Iwata: "Small self contained attachment to enable DVD playback"Translation: Dongle. When did he say that. All I can remember is the e3 2005 statement "Small internal attachment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Haha, sorry for using you as an example like that. I imagine they're probably going to support whatever format wins the 'format wars' in a few years. From what I understand there's holographic technology coming soon which exceeds even what Blu-Ray can deliver.. and has better read and write speeds because it doesn't need to be rotating. But that's probably another few years off. All I can remember is the e3 2005 statement "Small internal attachment". Honestly are you really that bothered over some little technicality? Well here you go then you damn pedant. You can also equip a small, self-contained attachment to play movies and other DVD content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darv Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Nintendork. You state everything like fact when it's pure speculation. What's to say that you don't open up the flap, insert the dongle or whatever it is and then close it again? Thus preserving the sleek design. I'm not saying that's what it will be like, but it is an option. No-one but Nintendo knows for sure so you can't say it definately will or won't be there.

ShadowV7 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Wonder how the attachment will allow DVD's to be played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Wonder how the attachment will allow DVD's to be played. The chip will enable the DVD to be initiated for the particular region the dongle was purchased in. Buy a European dongle and it will allow EU DVDs to be played. Much like on the xbox I suspect, when you insert a DVD without the dongle it will display an error, suggesting that you should purcahse the dongle. What I am interested in is how the DVD playback will be controlled- the xbox came with a terrible controller, I'd like to use the FHC to control the DVD playback. Remember there was quite a bit of hubub over the centre button on the Revolution. the one with a light in it. I'm guessing that will be involved. I'd prefer they allow us to use the FHC than require us to use some bundled shit controller. Though this might be simpler for some people as the FHC does not have start pause FF/RW buttons.

ShadowV7 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Ah yea,get you know.I think using the FHC for DVD's would be pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Especially if moving the controller clockwise/anti clockwise controlled fast forward/rewind speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 yeah the FHC would be cool as a remote for the dvd, big a to play. big b to pause. small b to stop, small a slow mo. twist the FHC right to fast forward, twist other way to rewind. or any other method (damn you nintendork, jsut befor ei typed this ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The rev better have a fucking optical port, It will be a MAJOR mistake not to include one, surround sound makes a game so much better. Why are you all having a go at Nintendork, he is only saying it as it is. Don't you people get tired of speculation, there is already far too much on certain shitty sites and boards.

Do you think it will also allow to play import games as well?Theoretically if you imported a Japanese or [insert region] dongle you would be able to watch DVDs from that region.I don't have a large enough import collection to warrant such an import.. but if you do, go for it. This might be somewhat illegal.. You'll have to see what happens with Lik-Sang. With regard to games I think it will be highly unlikely that the mpeg2 dongle will also include the same coding for games. This should be regulated by the console just like the GameCube. The DVD attachment is merely an accesory, it's not standard.. however we're all still hoping and holding out for region free Revolution games to be announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think the dongle will probably be region-free. For the same reason that HD DVD and Blu-Ray players are - theres no point manufacturing different ones when its easy for people to modify to make them multi-region, plus the gap in releases in different countries is just getting smaller - so importing will probably take longer than waiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowV7 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Region free would be a huge plus and make's sense.Hope they consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendork Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I hope twisting it wont ff/rw. What happens when you put the controller down? Or someone knocks it off the sofa? That's what I was thinking about.. I felt that a sharp prod would be nice to use to pause/play the movie.. but actually that's quite impractical. I think moving in a circular motion (cw/ccw) would be better as it protects you from spoiling the movie if you drop the FHC. The speed determining the speed of the FF/RW. Then buttons to determine more precise movements like pause, skip chapter, back to menu and stop. If you've played EyeToy you'll know what I mean with the menus that require circular motions.
