Revolution Update
Revolution to be able to output to multiple televisions.
by Matt Casamassina
July 3, 2005 - At a share holders meeting today, Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s president, Saturo Iwata, revealed that the company's next generation game console, code-named Revolution, would be able to wirelessly output to multiples televisions. He went on to explain that this would, "add an exciting, new element to multiplayer games," and would, "give developers a tool to deliver creative and fun gaming expierences."
Iwata revealed that Nintendo co-developed this technology with wireless solutions expert Broadcom. Iwata said, "By utilizing Broadcom's wireless technology, Nintendo can provide the high performance connectivity capabilities that will truly make users of Revolution say, 'Wow!'" Earlier this year, Broadcom announced a strategic partnership with Nintendo to provide its next generation consoles with wireless broadband technologies.
While Iwata did not go into any specifics about implementation of this technology, it seems that the Revolution will be able to output different images to different devices. Theoretically, then, the Revolution could allow players to play games in rooms other than that which the Revolution is in, or have multiplayer games with each person at a different TV, but playing the game on the same Revolution. However, all of this is currently nothing more than speculation. Nintendo's cryptic comments could easily mean something entirely different.
At May's E3 event, Saturo Iwata commented that the Revolution will fundamentally change the way in which controller, console, television and wifi interact. Could this new innovation from Nintendo be the change Iwata had in mind? Maybe. We will have to wait and see until more information is released.

Notice the July 3rd date. This could very well be true and probably is. Imagine, your friend/s are over and you want to play a multiplayer game but you hate looking at 4 inchs of space. Just hook up a couple more tvs and BAM! Magic. Beautiful.

Please stfu.
Its possible, I guess IGN could have known that it was going to be revealed and wrote the article in advance because its a holiday weekend, and it accidentally got posted.
if this is a revolution, i am from mars.
it's a stupid thing because you would need a wi-fi receiver device with batteries or power supply for each television set you use.
if this is the only special feature of the revo about graphics capabilities, it will be a commercial suicide.
i dont think this is a revolution its just is one of the little thing thats cool about the rev. if this is real... it would be awsome!
Didn't they just had a shareholder's conference the other day about the release date... Besides...this isn't mind blowing...or even realistic
Didn't anyone else notice that every time that "Matt" mentions Iwata, the first name is spelt wrong? Sure he has a few typos in his articles, but for the Nintendo channel writer to CONSTANTLY spell Iwata's name wrong is a bit suspect.
I don't believe fletcher. I received some emails from him as well.
y r u telling him to "stfu" when he's just posting what he got sent to him?
and couldn't the receiver just be plugged into the av thing on ur tv or vcr and get power from that? and couldn't the revo be the transmitter?
That better not be what's so damn revolutionary. Granted it's hard to live up to all the hype that's been circulating, but still, how is this revolutionary. Even though I hate having to have split screens during multiplayer games, I'd rather have that then have my friends all in other rooms.
If this is the revolutionary aspect, then nintendo21 should have something on it. Hopefully this isn't the big surprise...
your credibility has been shattered...
