Ok, and?

The pricing was not a big issue. Well, unless they got stupid like Xbox Live Arcade and wanted $14.99 for a game. But there's still so many things they need to do to go from having a cool retro feature, to the greatest console ever made.

er...if the only 'Revolutionary' part is no access fees, Nintendo has stabbed themselves in the face. The stabbings in their feet was the N64 and Gamecube (kind of

) and if this is all Revolution has to offer in terms of 'breaking grounds', then the face is the stab of choice now.

Granted, I am excited as hell that I can play all the old NES/SNES/N64 games from Nintendo for FREE, but if thats all this hype was for, then...wow

I really doubt that this will be the only revolutionary part of the Revolution. Just wait for the coming months, besides, I'd expect Iwata, or Miyamoto to tell us what exactly the revolution is, not George Harrison...

I expect an unknown girl with a purse.

And yes, rev is backwards compatible. Even has 4 GC controller ports and 2 mem card slots in the side.

That's cool and all but that's the revolutionary feature? I'm been downloading roms for free for years.

Feel sorry for all those poor saps who bought those NES/SNES ports for GBA.

Yeah, Like Dan, I've been playing retro games for free for years!

Well do remember that the GBA has the distinct advantage of being hand held.

So the revolution is that Nintendo is desperate enough to try and bribe people with free games so that they buy their console...

*runs out of the room while members throw hot, rotten garbage at him*

I wonder if GC games will be playable on the REV.

Isn't the Revolution backwards compatible?
