Lately, there has been a lot of speculation concerning the next console from the big N. Will it have LCD screens that stream HD content from the games we will be playing? Does it have visuals superior to the PS3?  Are there 2 different controllers for 2 different purposes, one for motion controls  and the other for ” hardcore ” gaming? Is there  no Hard Drive, yet again? Will the LCD screens be 3D like the new 3DS? Honestly, at this point, only a select few lucky developers and the powers that be from Nintendo know the truth about this mysterious system. While there have been pics that are most likely fakes and elaborate hoaxes none of them come close to my favorite Nintendo hoax of them all, the “Nintendo On”. It was jut prior to the announcement of the Wii, and people were expecting a revolution, and the Nintendo On gave some gullible fan boys JUST  what they needed to see to actually consider it as possibly a real system. This hoax was so well done that Nintendo was actually searching for the maker of this video to offer him her a job in their marketing department. So, at a time where we are getting all sorts of ” info” about the latest Nintendo console, take the time to go back and remember that even the greatest info leaks are usually hoaxes. And the Nintendo On is my favorite hoax of them all.
