The Nintendo Holo (also called the NinHolo) is a console under development by Vortex Gaming Industries, it was announced shortly after the cancellation of the Vortex Viper's production. It is scheduled for release in October 2013.
Appearance[]
The console is shaped like a flattened box, with a transparent orb made of reinforced plastic (to prevent breakage) resting atop it. Games are projected from a projector system into the orb, where the image appears like a hologram (hence the name of the console).
Dimensions[]
The console itself currently will measure about 7.5 x 2.5 x 7.5, with the orb measuring about 7 on all axis. The controller measures to be the same size as a Wii U Pro controller.
Media[]
The console has been planned to be retrocompatible with all Wii U games and hardware (save for original Wii hardware and software which are compatible with the Wii U), as the controller is very similar in design to the Wii U Pro. Up to 6 controllers can connect wirelessly to the system, allowing up to 6 players per game. However, when functioning in retrocompatibility mode, it must be hooked up to a TV via a special Audio-Video (AV) cable (something not required in Holo-mode due to the orb projection system).
Display[]
The system's graphical power is somewhere between the DS and Wii, with the loss of power since the Wii U attributed to the prototype Holo-Orb projection system. The design of this system allows the game to be played with the console facing any direction relative to the player, meaning that players can sit in a circle around the game system and all view the same screen.
List of games[]
Whether Project Redemption will be transferred to this console or not is up in the air, but a couple games have already been planned to be released at the same time as, or very close to the release of, the Nintendo Holo.
