Successor Nintendo HyperSphere 2 (HS2; Project Vulture) (tenth generation)

The Nintendo HyperSphere (The HyperSphere, abbreviated as NHS or HS, part of Project Eagle with the slogan Hyperactive Reality) (任天堂ハイパースペース Hepburn Romanization: Nintendō haipāsupēsu) (earlier names for the concept include Game Box, Zodiac, Powercom, HyperSpace and Hypercom, originally intended as two separated home and handheld console utilizing the same operating System) is a concept of a portable home console with HyperSpace OS developed by both Nintendo and Google , and the console developed by Samsung. As a ninth generation console, it competes with the PlayStation 5 and The ninth-generation Xbox console. The console would cost around $2,999 USD depending on manufacturing and resource expenses, currency value, and supply and demand. Each game can cost $50-$160 USD each (plus $10-$100 for each downloadable content).

Powered by Nintendo Network, this console has StreetPass and SpotPass tag modes and supports 3D graphics in HD. This console is preloaded with applications such as Google Play, which not only does it distributes emulated Nintendo games, all from both handheld and home predecessors, exclusively for this console but it also let the console play Android Apps; Miiverse, with minigames, stores, digital currency you earn from each minigame or item you sell and a Pokemon arena, which is connected with Google+; YouTube; Hulu Plus; Flipnote Video and Messenger.

The game has three modes: Handheld mode in which can be used as a portable handheld game, console mode in which can be used as a home consoled hooked up to a television screen, projector or a monitor, and controller mode in which can be used as a controller for the Wii, the Wii U, or another HyperSphere system.

It has accessibility options so that people with physical or sensory disabilities, such as the blind or the handless can enjoy playing the console with voice assistant, morse codes and braille.

Packaging[]

The Nintendo HyperSphere comes with the consoles itself, along with a casing, two Classic Controllers, a repair kit, a tightly coiled USB cord, a miniUSB to USB cable with tightly coiled wires with solar panels, a tightly coiled modem cable cable, another rechargeable battery with solar panels, and a wireless stylus pen which has a button at the top. Special edition one comes with a game.

Hardware[]

Nintendo HyperSpace Notebook Designs

Console notebook design (EAGLE001)

Fujitsu smartphone watercooling concept

Fujitsu's watercooling concept on smartphones may be used on the console, in replace of graphite.

Like it's handheld predecessors (some Game & Watch, Gameboy Advance SP, Nintendo DS family, and beyond) the HyperSphere has two separate screen, each shaped like an elliptic (somewhat to the shape of a PS Vita). The top screen is a curved autostereoscopic (3D) HD OLED screen made of sapphire with a resolution of that is able to produce a three-dimensional effect without the user wearing 3D glasses, by using a parallax barrier, like its handheld predecessor the Nintendo 3DS. The bottom screen is a projected capacitive touchscreen. There is a 3D Depth Slider next to the 3D screen which allows the user to adjust the intensity of the 3D effect. It has 7 cameras; two at the outside of the device, two facing the player at the top screen, one at the middle (for checking facial position in angling the 3D effect) and two at the bottom of the console), capable of taking clear, high-resolution 3D HD pictures and videos. Two stereo microphones are found at the bottom of this system and two large stereo speakers are each found next to the screen. Also at the bottom of the screen are two USB slots were you can either charge the console or connect the controller if you're playing on home console mode, a disk slot and LED lights that give hexadecimal codes in binary during the POST process. And at the back there's one USB slot, one miniHDMI output and a modem input. It is impacted with an aluminum casing that is both water-proof, dust-proof, shock resistant and virtually indestructible with an IP 68.

The console also have LED lights, corresponding to the colours of the console's casing. On the side of the top screen facing outward from the player, is a large logo of the console (a square with an eagle's eye inside), and light on the shoulders. It will turn off when the system is off and it will turn on when the system is on. When closed (outer lights only) or "sleeping" (all lights) the lights will glow on and off, and when there's new notifications, it will flash. It will also flash when the "Morse Flash" feature (see 9.4.1.4 of this article for more information about the feature) is turn on to represent the light patters of the alphabet on the Morse Code.

The console is coupled with an Intel Core i7-4960K CPU, a modified NVIDIA GeForce GTX video card, and a NVIDIA GeForce Tegra K1 GPU. It also has a small removable holographic data storage holding 2 terabytes of memory of a 1-inch solid state hybrid drive (plus 500GB of the solid state drive). And it also contains 8 gigabyte of DDR4 memory and 16 gigabytes of GDDR5 memory. There is also a watercooler made by Fujitsu that will keep the components from getting hot. If it gets too hot, the console will automatically power off until it's cool enough to continue its use. It also has a mini-POST card, which uses an 8-digit binary code, represented by LED lights to represent hexadecimal codes during a power-on self-test during startup.


It has a replaceable lithium-sulfur battery with implanted voltage regulators to avoid overcharging, charged wireless by the solar panels, by motion and/or with the miniUSB input, or Qi wireless chargers if there's an insufficient solar supply. It is also possible to use wireless connection, via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, to charge the console.

Development Hardware[]

The development hardware for the console are:

  • EAGLE-DEV01: It is a basically a Nintendo HyperSpace with added features and Chromium OS included. It is encased in a big horizontal box, similar to an NPDP-GDEV for developing GameCube games. It has two disk slots, dip switches for region selection and the use of some features, and additional rear ports that alows it to be connented using VGA, HDMI, YPrPb, S-Video, Coaxial or a modem screen, and the ability to hook other dev hardware.. You can switch regions in which allows developers to play games from a selected region. You can also stream games into a 5-inch solid state hybrid drive which can hold upto 12 terabytes of memory, in which games can be copied and stored. You can use it to program games as well. It plays retail games normally, but the use of developer functionality and the ability to play burnt copies required a password-enabled boot disk. It cost about $50,000.
  • EAGLE-DEV02: It is a debugging console for the Nintendo HyperSpace. It looks like an EAGLE001, but is for debugging purposes. It detect errors and dump information from games and can be connected to an EAGLE-DEV01. It costs about $20,000.
  • EAGLE-DEV03: This is connected to an EAGLE-DEV01 in order to write burn games from a hard drive.
