Reports from n-sider.com say they have come upon the potential working specs for nintendo's nexgen systems.
Handheld
The working title is "Game Boy Evolution".
The system will have a flip-top design, similar to the GBA SP.
Games will come on mini-discs, as opposed to cartridges.
The graphics will be slightly better than those found on the Sega Dreamcast.
Bluetooth wireless networking will be built in.
The system will feature backwards compatibility, but not in the same way the GBA plays old Game Boy games. Supposedly there will be a device that will allow you to download games from their carts into a harddrive-like element of the new Game Boy.
The system's screen will be lit, similar to the GBA SP.
GamecubeNext
Supposedly, Nintendo is working with 2 sets of specs for the console system.
System 1:
2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 Processor
512 Megs total Ram (128 for video, 64 for sound)
600 Mhz graphics chip
System 2:
Dual 1.8 Ghz IBM G5 PowerPC processors
256 Megs DDR Main memory (64 dedicated to sound, using a 7.1 sound system at 196 Khz)
128 Megs GDDR3 Video memory
500 Mhz graphics chip (ATI developed, 16 Pixel Pipe, 220 Million transistors)
Shared Information:
Built in 15 Gigabyte harddrive
Blue-laser disk technology
Potential DVD playback
Case design philosophy more like the N64, less like the GameCube
What do you guys think about this rumor?
