Quote:We heard "2 to 3 times more powerful than Gamecube." From USA today interviewing Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan. But this was false, Perrin never said anything of the sort and the news was bogus.
That was false? Interesting... hopefully this means that it'll be more powerful than that. :) Though Nintendo has said that it won't be as powerful as the other consoles, that doesn't mean that it actually WILL be... see the Gamecube for an example of that...
Quote:We heard the Revolution will have 512 MB of flash memory built in. This is also false. The Revolution's memory cards will be 512 MB SD cards. We pay 20 bucks for a memory card now... who knows what the price will be, but I can only guess that it will be at a price point that makes sense to consumers. After all, we will not only be saving our games on these, but also downloading our favorite games from all of Nintendo's past consoles. These super memory cards will be Revolution's hard drive.
Yeah, I heard this. Definitely good news, and it makes a lot more sense than a tiny internal harddrive/memory thing... the only thing I'm wondering about is the price, but I'm sure Nintendo will make them reasonable. Because yes, if you're going to be downloading all these games, it'll cost quite a bit... well, NES and SNES ones are tiny, but those N64 games can be pretty large...
Oh, and they go in ports below the disc drive on the front of the console, right (behind that 'door')?
Quote:It's available in multiple colors, it downloads every game ever made by Nintendo for every console, Nintendo has all the major titles in the works including a new Super Smash Bros. Online, it will use wireless controllers as well connect to the internet and other Revolutionaries over a wireless wi-fi Nintendo-run network, it's about the size of 3 DVD cases stacked up on eachother, it supports HD (at least 720i, probably more) and HD-DVD, it has a side panel for Gamecube controllers and memory cards, and it has a trippy blue light in the DVD slot that makes it look evil.
I wonder if the Cube or Revolution controllers can control the NES/SNES/N64 titles...
Quote:We heard it plays movies, but we'll need to buy a seperate adapter. This 'adapter' is basically a dongle that will come with a remote. The cost will be around 15 to 20 bucks.
What about a GB Player? :)
