Cubed³ is

never left in the dark, we refuse to hide away and let the rest of the

industry run away with a story that we can’t keep tabs on. So, unlike a

lot of sites we have done our own digging, talked to our own contacts

and can now give you the facts, the most reliable information and

hopefully give you a better picture of what is going on. Yes ladies and

gents, we are talking about the Nintendo DS saga of the last few

days.


medium;">The Internet is always a breeding ground for odd

and fast-growing rumours, and much like the Megaton of many

months ago, this Second Coming is no exception to overblown

facts, idiotic speculation and taking things so out of context that

they become entirely different statements.

This new all

started off on a site that Cubed³ have always trusted and respected,

N-Sider, thus we can certainly ascertain that these rumours are

indeed based on facts and a few of the comments being made are true, if

a little cryptic. Those of you familiar with the Warp Pipe

project (that is making continuing moves to get the GameCube online)

will know what the company are all about, for everyone else all you

need to know is that they are a fan-run operation (in no way

professional) that have been working on taking the GameCube online to

some extent for the last couple of years. This project has had mixed

success, but the general consensus of those that follow Warp

Pipe closely, including Cubed³ is that they have done an excellent

job, and continue to do so.

Warp Pipe however, are

starting to get rather more serious. From somewhere they are getting

masses of funding to work on a massive new project. We can confirm this

will be on the DS and that there is a very high chance of the funding

coming straight from Nintendo themselves. Simply put, the Warp

Pipe team would not have the money to fund such a project

themselves, and no other company than Nintendo would fund such a

scheme.

One item we have been directed towards paying

particular attention to is that the cost of the project will not be

passed onto the end consumer, but that we should “simply purchase

games with your favourite green logo on the box”. The Warp

Pipe is green, and for it to be on a box definitely points to the

company working in an official capacity with Nintendo. We shall say no

more on the subject, our lips are sealed…

Three key images

have come out of this story, released by one of the men at the centre

of it all, Chad of Warp Pipe fame. We will go through and

explain each one individually. These explanations are based on general

simple interpretations, but also pointers made by insiders to

Cubed³.



/>


The best of the lot, and one that explains

so much, some of which you need background knowledge of to be able to

work it out. Obviously you have the boy with the Nintendo DS, in a

wood, with a dog. Some people say this relates to Nintendogs,

whilst this is quite a good guess, insider info seems to suggest that

it is probably quite a way off the mark. May we point you in the

direction of a certain game called Animal Crossing DS? We have

reason to believe that Animal Crossing DS will be one of the

most innovative games ever. How would you feel is where you were

in Animal Crossing reflected directly on where you were in the

world? Standing in London, and you’re in the city. Standing in the New

Forest, and you’re in the woodland. Other characters would also be

around you going about their business, and you would be able to

interact and communicate in a whole new way. It may seem far-fetched

and we’re not sure how much of it will turn out to be truth, but we

have been assured that there is certainly some solid fact in this

one.



/>


Slightly disturbing, we admit, but we have

managed to unearth some very interesting news on this one. If you take

a look at the face the DS replaces what should be eyes, nose, mouth

etc. and what is most interesting is the text findsme, with the

s being faded out. First off, the ds in the middle

obviously links to the DS itself. As for the find me text, we

have been told that this links to the DS being able to locate any other

unit in the world that it is set to look for. Like an MSNm contact list

you will be able to talk, game and interact with people from all four

‘corners’ of the globe. Another possible link we have been told to

mention is that it could relate to GPS features, which could again link

into the Animal Crossing DS idea and all sorts of other ceeerazy

possibilities. We shall say no more…



src="http://www.cubed-3.co.uk/staff/tempo88/nintendods_warppipe_2.jpg"

alt="" />


Even more disturbing than the

second image, this one seems to be putting across the same idea though.

Anti-isolation is the text on the DS, and the lack of eyes

points to one clear thing. Our sources contacted us to confirm that no

matter where you are, with the DS you will never be alone. No mates on

the same continent? Apparently no problem, with this new project being

developed by Warp Pipe linking up with another DS will be

simple.

Does anyone remember Marionette? It was a

‘game’ mentioned by Shigeru Miyamoto quite a while back. We have

considerable reason to believe that this was an idea for a feature…an

online feature Mario NET. Tenuous? But it sounds very Nintendo.

We have asked everyone who we think might have an idea about this one,

and the amounts of no comment and wait and see responses

we had back points to one thing: this is happening.

In

Summary

  • Warp Pipe are working on a massive

    project for the Nintendo DS that will make it one massive online social

    network, the biggest outside the Internet.
  • The DS is not just

    constrained to Bluetooth and Wi-Fi communication. Whisperings in our

    ears point towards being able to play against / send a signal to

    someone else with a DS anywhere in the world, instantly.
  • The

    DS will have a remote ‘daisy-chain’ feature, whereby on say a

    University campus or shopping centre, a number of DS’ can connect one

    to the next until all the DS consoles in the area are linked up and

    playing together. Almost like they are hooked in a giant loop.
    />
  • There is substantial support for the project from one key

    financial backer (Nintendo?) and numerous other companies working on

    software.
  • The Warp Pipe service will launch this year,

    possibly with the DS.
  • It will be announced on website N-

    Sider     in the middle of October, but the full story might not be

    revealed for a little while longer.

    We will leave you with

    one thought. Nintendo Europe, Nintendo of America and Nintendo Co Ltd.

    in Japan have always maintained the point that they do not want to have

    to charge for online gaming. They see it as one of the major

    hindrances. It is no secret that Nintendo are not online, but it is

    also no great secret that Nintendo are investing in online research.

    Could they be ready to spring on us the biggest easy to access, global

    communication tool since the Internet? Could all of this innovation

    come out of the book with the console? We will have more information,

    confirmations and speculations for you when we are allowed to comment

    or have more information to pass on. Stay tuned to Cubed³â€¦

    />The information released in this article is done so on the

    understanding that the sources providing it are not revealed. Items

    stated as fact are, to Cubed³, known to be fact. Speculation is made

    clear. Any comments about the validity of our statements should be sent

    to the author of this article. Cubed³ hold no legal

    Another image from Warp Pipe has Magellean, the first person to sail around the world on a DS screen.  The DS will make it possible to play games wirelessly around the world.  Since Nintendo's wireless service is going to be free and work anywhere there is a wireless network or chain of DSs that connect back to a wireless network, it has been suggest that the DS could possible be used for free phone calls similiar to cell phones, but with Pictochat or a third party network such as Warp Pipe.  Although, it seems increasingly likely that Nintendo is actually funding Warp Pipe.



    ALL EDITS BY WATOAD: I'd kinda like to try reading the stuff in this thread, but it was stretched way too much for that to be a manageable task. So I shrunk images and turned URL text into links where necessary.

    Just so you all know, the origins of the marionette girl have nothing to do with it, Originally the words were 'set me free' instead of 'find me' -- so perhaps that could be a clue in itself.

    Pagerworld Filed March 2004.





    Some snippets:


    1. A global positioning system (GPS) cartridge for use with a game machine having a processing system to execute a video game program and player controls operable by a player to generate video game control signals, the GPS cartridge comprising: GPS circuitry configured to determine position based on signals received from GPS satellites; and a connector that, in use, electrically connects the GPS cartridge to the game machine so that the position determined by the GPS circuitry is usable during execution of the video game program.








    18. The game machine according to claim 17, wherein the radio circuitry is provided as part of a pager cartridge that is removably attachable to the game machine.








    [0044] If pager cartridge 100 is within the geographic coverage area of paging system 101, pager cartridge 100 receives the page and processes the message embedded within the page. Generally, pager cartridge 100 also includes a vibrating or beeping mechanism to inform the person carrying the pager that he or she has received a message. Pager cartridge 100 may itself be configured to communicate messages (visually and/or aurally) to the user.





    [0096] In one implementation, the user of pager cartridge 100 becomes a player in what will be referred to hereinafter as PagerWorld, a virtual community for the network of all users having pager cartridges 100. Players are represented in PagerWorld by a "persona character" and it is this character that all other PagerWorld players will see, for example, when messages are received. Over time, this persona character will become ever more unique to the particular player. As players interact with other players in PagerWorld (e.g., by sending messages and playing games), players will share the fin and excitement of discovering new items, skills and appearances as their persona characters gain experience.

    Does any of this have anything to do with Nintendo's most recent patents? Here's the most recent and most probable related one:

    The patents where filed on Sept 9th, 2004, and use GBC graphics, but the principle would be the same for the DS.

    I have not gone crazy.  I have been here for a long time.

    I think that's Magellan in the pic, not Da Vinci.

    Goodness.
    This all seems like some sorta conspiracy theory to me.
    Very interesting, though.

    Uh, interesting, but to me, it seems like a bunch of nerds had WAY too much free time on their hands.

    I don't have a clue, but instead would like to point you to http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/nintendo-ds.htm/printable for some general info on the Nintendo DS you may have missed.  Pay close attention to the "Microphone and Wireless Connections" sections as it pertain to some of the clue given so far.

     This is all very fascinating, but the concept of this scavenger hunt is outrageous. In fact, I'm surprised nobody has gone mad trying to figure out the subtle clues in these pictures. But then, this thing is completely mad, isn't it? I prefer to let time reveal secrets that will be revealed eventually, without making people obsessive or insane. There you have it, my unasked for opinion. Perhaps I'm in over my head...

    About the cane theory: In the "findsme" pic, next to the DS face, her hair curves like the cane.  In the pic with the boy playing the DS, if the DS was the face, the cane you pointed out was the cane shadow, then the curl of the hair would be on the boy's shirt, and when looking closely, a cane like the curl of the puppet girl's hair appears to be in the wrinkle/shadow  of the shirt.I bet the puppet girl is in that pic.

    Everything is as smooth as sandpaper pajamas.

    The cane theory was wrong.  Chad has made several new revelations about the DS secret in the last few post he made, but I don't have the time or energy to go other all of them now.  Check yourself if you have time:  http://forums.warppipe.com/viewtopic.php?t=11400&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
