I wasn't asking anything!
Ah yes, but 750 megabits is actually just 93.75 megaBYTES, which is what everything that isn't a cartridge uses. Considering I have a gig of RAM in my machine, load times would not exist.
Oh by the way, the control system for OOT is NOT like WW. In WW the camera has it's own control system on the C stick so they couldn't do this but, in OOT, they put all the c-button features on the c stick. Since the GCN is so much more comfortable, I actually like it MORE than the original. However, even on the very nicely done c-stick setup, you do have to get used to it, and it's a little tough to fire arrows rapidly by flicking the c-stick.
Load times are indeed the only issue due to going from format to format. Once RAM gets to a certain point though, and it's pretty darn close as it is, that won't be an issue either and all the old cart games will be entirely runnable in RAM.
Yes, I pointed out the controller thing didn't I? I did that on purpose because I didn't consider it to count. They make custom controls for arcade machines anyway so it just wasn't relevant.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
