Miyamoto and Iwata talk... get out your spatulas, it's crazy time!

[A Black Falcon]

1.) The graphics will be on par with the PS3 and XBox360.

Or close enough for Nintendo to not care. But really, shouldn't we have known this already? People are just unhappy because Nintendo understates things, not because they have any actual proof that the Revolution will look a lot worse than the competition...

2.) The Revolution will support 480 Pro scan... which is HD. Though "the Revolution will not support HD." (?????????)

As in 720p or 1080i or whatever, like PS3 and X360 will have.

Same as the Xbox.

Neither MS or Nintendo wants to be paying Sony royalties with every console they sell... :)

4.) We have to pay a seperate ethernet adapter. Not a biggie, i'm thinking it will be in the 15 to 20 range.

Annoying you'll have to pay extra, but at least there will be one...

6.) Older games for the virtual console will indeed be updated to include net-play. This means everything from Earthbound to Zelda could have net-play functionality but at the very least, Nintendo's 2 to 4 player games will most likely recieve a net-play update. You should all thank me for this one, we're getting this because of all the praying I did.

Are you still hoping for massive remakes and multiplayer in single player games and stuff? Don't. I did think that they could do simple stuff like emulating the multiplayer over the internet (even some emulators can do THAT...), but that doesn't require modifying the games themselves, as I said, just the hardware emulation, so it's simpler to do since they have to do hardware emulation anyway... maybe they will do redos of some titles, but I expect the vast majority will have few to no changes.

7.) The controller can play every game. Does this include light gun games? What's the point of the GC controller ports then? Just there on the mock-up and not in the final version (said to be smaller)? A controller so well made that it will change the industry and create a standard. If any other company said this it would be a joke. But Nintendo's changed and invented standards like nobody's business.

That's a good question, will it also emulate R.O.B.? ... no, I think they just mean the normal controllers, ie NES, SNES, N64. Sorry. :) With something new and different that we hopefully won't expect, but also with standard controller things... I think that people thinking that ports will be really hard (and thus that Nintendo will die, etc, etc) will be dissapointed. :) Though it well might fall short of the standards we expect for button (and perhaps even analog sticks)... we'll see. But as the GC shows, you CAN modify games for a simpler controller... it breaks some games, but it can be done.
