To be honest, I am not entirely sure what I just saw. Nintendos next console will come with a VR helmet? OWD?

I always expected them to try again when the technology was more advanced

Is that link supposed to point to Virtual Boy? I dont know about headache helmets but I will have to wait and see I suppose. I also remember seeing that camera for PS2 and I thought that doesnt seem very fun.

[Nartwak]

Not you Baley. merry andrew. Sorry.

They couldn't do it right then...but maybe they could do it now

 

I kinda liked the concept

I just looked up what Nintendos next system will be and this On thing is fake according to details released. The Nintendo Revolution will be backwards compatible with Gamecube games, so..

 

EDIT: New Nintendo System Details at IGN

I believe Blu-Ray and HDDVD are merging. Probably because Toshiba realized that Blu-Ray is a far superior technology and wanted a stake in it. But anyway, only one new format instead of two. Smart move by both Sony and Toshiba.

So the VR helmet is the "wireless controller".

 

Well, looks like they've amped up their previous version a bit:

VB Tech specs

Weight: 760 g

Dimensions: 21.7 x 25.4 x 11cm

Powersource: 6 1.5 V batteries

Play time (on 6 batteries): 7 hours play

CPU: 32bit RISC

CPU speed: 20 MHz (18 MIPS)

Max Resolution: 384 x 224

RAM: 1 Mbit D-RAM

Video RAM: 512 Kbit P-SRAM

Cache Memory: 1 Kbit

Sound: 16-bit Stereo

Controller: 6 buttons and 2 pads

 

Your microwave has more computer power than this.

 

S'funny they didn't mention it in the promo .... "

Damn. If they actually do decide to go ahead and use a VR Goggles type setup, and it can control the way your character looks in shootery games, I might actually be able to get along well enough even with the crappy thumbstick for movement...too bad Nintenedo Shooters are the only ones I can really get along with anyway.
