Super Mario Revolution Screens?

I need to start this story by stating that the above pictures are RUMOR! I do not even believe them myself but I had to post them. Someone out there is either really or really in trouble. The next Mario is Nintendo’s baby so I do not think that any screenshots what-so-ever will not be out on the internet before E3. They are pretty convincing and very interesting. I don’t know what to make of them but they do look pretty cool. As stated before, I personally do not think that these are real shots but I had to post. What do you guys think? Let us know and leave a comment.

IGN Nintendo Minute

IGN posted a new “nintendo minute” on their site. In case you missed it here are the exact quotes from the story.
This week’s question:What exactly is Nintendo’s E3 2006 message and how will it convince graphics snobs that Revolution is the real deal?

Perrin Kaplan, vice president of marketing and corporate communications, Nintendo of America: Come to E3, Matt! Our mantra continues to be that it’s the play, not just the looks, that matters. It’s similar to the experience we had two years ago with Nintendo DS. Not everyone could easily grasp why two screens or a touch-screen were necessary. But once people started playing and interacting with the system … Well, I think you see how it is going!

As far as Revolution, we’ll have some great games to share on the show fl...
