Nintendo Futurna. Not VR but cool. *UPDATE
Nintendo Futurna UPDATE: “Phoenix” as he calls himself, now tells me that I can expect more from him sometime after the 3rd. I’ve seen a lot of pranks concerning the Revolution in my time so I think we all know that if nothing pops up after the 3rd then this guy is full of it. He told me to announce there is one more key peripheral coming. Well I guess we’ll just have to see.
*Nintendo Futurna UPDATE: You saw it here first at Playbomb.com! Man this guy just doesn’t stop! The guy said I could just call him Phoenix. He told me not to quote his e-mail message this time or I won’t be recieving anymore material. So no “quoting“. I’m beginning to see how awesome this would be. It looks like the screen in the picture the guy sent me can scroll up into a small tube. Either this guy is just really really good or this is actually what Nintendo means by revolutionizing portability.
Here’s the second image he has sent me:
Nintendo Futurna UPDATE: He tells me that the images of the Futurna in these pictures (he wouldn’t tell me what the pictures were of) were images from early conceptual stages and that this model of the “Revolution” as we have been calling it are a bit larger than even what they had shown at E3. So I guess this was a while back.
He also said there is some kind of control panel on the side of the Portascreens that are navigated with a little stylus that sits in the top of the unit. Supposedly those ovalish areas on either side of the screen are speakers. He said since that time the Nintendo Futurna has been made much smaller and the Portascreens have changed a whole lot but he doesn’t have the means to show me.
Once again people, I cannot guarantee that this is legitimate. This guy seems convincing though, I’m going to take it with a grain of salt but I definitely find this concept to be awesome.

I got this in the inbox:
“hey,
i figured since there is only about a month left until the full unveiling i would go ahead and send this out. i havent sent it to anyone else. i think youll like it”
Here’s the fullsize image that was sent to me: Fullsize
I’m not sure if this is actually what the Nintendo Revolution is or not but I will tell you right now, I wouldn’t be dissapointed. If it’s photoshopped it’s very good, if it’s not then heck yeah - but I have a feeling it probably is just because I doubt the Revolution will shoot crazy little lightning beams out of it. : P
I’m guessing the person plans on sending it to all sorts of places actually. Probably trying to make me feel special so I’ll post his crap or something. Either way, it’s cool looking. I dig.
Nintendo Futurna UPDATE: The system name is Futurna. Well, according to these pictures which may or may not be real. I was calling them fake at first but now I’m not so sure. It just seems like a plausible realistic thing Nintendo would do. I think the light beams just represent the projection and the pictures aren’t literal. Either way it still could be fake, I’m not going to have an up front opinion on this one, it’s teetering on the verge of real and fake.
