Revolution interface roundup
As if we weren't deluged enough by the hilariously inaccurate controller concepts before the Revolution was officially unveiled, stalwart photoshoppers and video wizards have now taken it upon themselves to create elaborate mockups of the Revolution's graphical interface. Our friends over at Joystiq have compiled a list of every attempt thus far (9 and counting), though their work is sure to be far from over. It should be noted that the mockup pictured above gains extra points for featuring a very believable Japanese man.
Next, we'd like to impart some advice to those that are currently working on their own vision of Nintendo's virtual console and hope to impress us:
Flash over substance! Be sure to put in as many lens flares, translucent windows and completely pointless explosions as your rendering software can muster. Don't skimp on the boot-up sequence either, because if you can't incorporate at least one spectacular car chase in there, you've lost our interest.
Ridiculous new features! We've seen the standard "Virtual Console" and "Insert The Game Disc" rubbish already. Why not use this opportunity to add in some of the Revolution's previously rumored features? Throw in some menu options for "Read Mind", "Kill Neighbor" or "Make Pancake". You know, the stuff we really want.
Shigeru Miyamoto screensaver! After a period of inactivity, a digitized Miyamoto starts running around on the screen and you attempt to swat him with the Revolution controller. If you're successful, he explodes into a diorama of the children of the world, living in peace and harmony.
What are you waiting for interface mockup guys? Get cracking!
