Leaked N5 and next-gen Game Boy specs?

What do you think?

From N-Sider:

====
Recently, N-Sider stumbled upon some very interesting information. Let's just say we know a guy who knows another... guy... in a large Japanese

If it's bullshit it's GOOD bullshit.

This ain't just meaningless specs, it's appropriate and well thought out. The fact alone that he's mentioned the new ATI card specs which haven't been officially released but kept them close to the just released nVidia card specs is a good sign.

If this is the real deal than it's excellent. If it is't then this guy is very, very good.

Very interesting indeed, one for a speculation article perhaps. Nintendo should be thinking about doing some mroe hinting towards the N5, but I am not sure if this is it, it could be. It all seems a bit vague (apart from the specs) it will be interesting to see if many sites go with this one. My editorial nose says why not, but my judgement makes me feel that perhaps its best left to sit for a while...

I wish I could say I read all that, but it looked much too clever for me.

Here's hoping it's great eh?

I'd just like to point out that GB Evolution is what I've been calling the GBA's successor for a long time...

Anyway, interesting stuff - could well be true, we shall soon find out!

* Potential DVD playback

Thank you God! Add although half of it means nothing to me, I'm hoping this means it's gonna rock!

Could be a very cleverly-oriented-tactical-report to crush the hopes and dreams of PS and Xbox fans wanting Nintendo to die.

I didn't read it all.... but, from what i did read, it sounds goooooooooooooood!

Game Boy Evolution sounds pretty likely. It's just the perfect name.

It had me absolutely convinced until about half-way through
I'm just not so sure because it presents everything as absolutely amazing great news
It also overemphasises the fact that it is not a fake right at the start

Still, if it is fake, it's a pretty damn good effort

Notice the site's call N-Sider. It's a Nintendo fan site so will always look on the bright side.

True, but they won't start slagging it off now will they. Btw it is certain of DVD ability right? I'm not thinking it means something different am I?

And I don't like discussing specs. For a start, it's too 'heavy' for my liking and, at the moment, based on pure speculation.

Amen to that. I got as far as the GBA Evo. will have graphics better than the Dreamcast and then fainted from 'positive information overload'.

Still, I shall use what little freelance skills I have and do some digging

That was long!!!!!!!!!! But this is good news. Although i didn't get to reading it all, it was good news for me and my friends here in New Jersey because we were worried that Nintendo wasn't going to rel;ease a next gen-GC or GBA. Long Live Nintendo!!!!!!!!!

I can definitely see a deal being struck up with Panasonic (Matsushita) again, thus Blu-Ray being used as a media format for the GCNext.

As for this about the GBEvolution:

Games will come on mini-discs, as opposed to cartridges.

That's exactly what I'd been harping on about since the GC was announced. Despite the fact that it says the GBE will have around DreamCast level graphics, I still reckon the small-discs will mean possible GC backwards compatibility.

Portable Metroid Prime? Yes please!

The guy writing up the analysis of this 'rumour' really does know his stuff. Such amazing detail and a superb speculative article overall. Let's just hope that there's a modicum of truth behind it all...

Even if it would cost $800 (which I imagine it wont...) and it's released in two years from now (which I imagine it wont be)
If it can play Gamecube Games...
Drool, Drool, Drool
I already have the games...
I'm so excited
Only now if it's not true im gonna be really disaponted

It looks cooool, but expensive.

Not really, considering that some or most of that spec is too be released top end in the next few months and the console won't be released for another 2 years or more the price will have dropped considerably.
