Nintendo "Revolution" Console to Incite Revolution?

Videogaming insiders are discussing the implications of rumors that Nintendo's soon to be released next generation gaming console, which the venerable Japanese corporation has code-named "Revolution," is actually designed to incite political and social evolution by leading children through a series of games infused with subtly disguised proletariat doctrine.

The Revolution will reportedly ship with the title Polybius: 21st Century, where the player guides the titular ancient Greek Historian through the "fall of New Rome."

While Nintendo disavows any underlying political subtext in the game's story, they have remained silent on the release of an alleged internal memo giving details on several planned titles, including Mario and Luigi Sieze the Means of Production, The Legend of Zelda: Link and the Capitalist Enterprise of Dehumanization, and Pokemon: Socialist Revolution.
