Either a hard drive or some massive flash memory :D, so yes, a hard drive.
I don't think it will be limited to OLD games either.
This basically means the ENTIRE selling point of that old... what was that one system everyone made fun of because of doubts of it's very existence? Anyway, here we are. This must be Nintendo's revolutionary concept. No longer do you need to go to the store. Just buy and download it to your system if you want. This thing better have a massive storage capacity.
Anyway, sounds interesting. Next question, the controllers, ARE they rechargeble? They better be. Also, I'm hoping the wireless system is modifiable enough that a designer can let it detect wireless mice and keyboards nearby.
I wonder if it has a broadband port. It's not needed really, but I like as stable a connection as possible on a system that won't be moving an inch anyway.
Oh, about DA POWER. Remember the PS2 was the weakest anyway, so it could have a couple times extra power more than the revolution and still not match up to it. I like the nice conservative estimates. At least they stay honest. And don't worry, this isn't going to hurt them. The only people that will even look for that quote and stick with it are fanboys that wouldn't be affected even if they said it was a 100 times more. I don't think quoting numbers is going to sell systems.
What's with EVERYONE saying "you can tilt it on it's side!" these days? I don't know about them, but my entertainment system is set up for stacking systems lying flat on top of each other. Oh well, it's something anyway. Nintendo's offering of an actual factual online service is nice too.

"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)
