Bob (The genius behind www.bobsgame.com) has had people craving for the release of "Bob's Game" for years, and it had seemed that it had been no closer to release until recently when www.bobsgame.com started redirecting to a new site, www.the-nd.com which featured on the homepage a video of a new handhold console which Bob called the "nD".
Is it real? The simple answer is we don't know. Bob has pulled a few stunts to attract publicity towards Bob's Game over the past few years, and some people are saying this is just another publicity stunt before Bob's Game is released.
But if this is real, it's an entire revolution in gaming. As you'll see in the video below, the nD claims to cost between $10-20. That's dollars, so it would be even cheaper in pounds or euros. Why so cheap? Because that's what it costs to make. If it is real, this shows that Bob is clearly only interested in one thing, great games. Not profit. He also says that developers will keep 90% of their profits (other companies such as apple take 30% of developers profits when they put their applications on their app stores).
The nD will feature no gimmicks, just pure honest 16 bit gaming. Games will be downloaded from an app store much like they would be on an iPhone, online tournaments are promised. If this is real it will be amazing, I'm excited as both a gamer and an aspiring game developer.
Although, this could just be announcing that Bob is finished all the coding for Bob's Game as the nD case in the video is labeled with the words "Comes preloaded with Bob's Game", but regardless I really hope that this is real.
