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

[A Black Falcon]

1.) Nintendo has stated: Games available for the virtual console, such as Mario Party, can have wifi net-play capability.

2.) Nintendo has said: Games available for the virtual console will include updates, they will be the same game and will play and feel the same but with updates made with the Revolution's abilities in mind.

3.) I win.

Maybe about graphics (with original versions probably also available), but I highly doubt we'll suddenly see single player games grow multiplayer modes...

They'd already just about finished them before they left Nintendo, it was merely a matter of releasing them.

Well... they'd started on them, anyway. I don't think Sabre Wulf was finished before they left Nintendo... maybe Diddy Kong Pilot and Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers (It's Mr. Pants) were close to being finished, and of course DKC1 and DKC2 are just SNES ports, but they did have a bunch of work still to go on those games after they left. Especially since they had to redo two of them and remove DK...

1. Why even bother with DVI if you're going to run SD/ED resolution?

2. I beg to differ. I can definitely tell the difference between a high-res image and an standard.

3. ED is Enhanced definition... essentially SDTV without interlacing. It's nothing special, but it does exist. It's better than SD and worse than HD.

Nintendo's looking at the fact that only 10% of the US market has HDTV (and even fewer in most of Europe and Japan -- more in some places, but that's not the point) and doesn't see the point... they are indeed being shortsighted as this lack will be seen by videophiles (like Matt at IGN) as a major problem and that'll spill over and hurt Nintendo more than the size of the market with HDTVs would suggest... just like with internet play this generation, Nintendo isn't looking ahead well enough.
