Damn straight. Make sure its an RFU adapter. Not many hotels have TV's with built-in video inputs, but then again, Maybe its just the ones I've been to.

Sometimes in hotel they'll screw in a board to the back of the TV so that no one can get access to the video input. But I always bring my trusty wrench and screwdriver...

I've seen these things, sadly every hotel I stay in, including the SUITES don't seem to have them (Shakes fist at Disney hotels )

Basically the current ones have you "rent" a contyroller, choose a game, and play, my Dad has somehow been able tod o this, no system to connect too, more like plug in the control and tap a gaming database.

The reasonf or this was actually concern for theft of game consoles I belive as well as Cartidges, now if a similar system is being done with the 'Cube, then I'd guess, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it, that the new system will operate the same way.

Oh and just FYI, those controlers are slighty differnt than your average Nintendo Controller, they're deisgned to work with hotel security which is why they'd be harder to steal than you average 'Cube, which presumably would be harder to store and easier for a bad fan to take home with them-- aka a theif.

So to rview, my guess is the "Server" that runs the SNES games will also run the"Cube games, and it's not just SNES my parents were at a place that had NES games as well, let me tell ya, if we had this at Disney when I was sick, I'd have called Room service and use it, sadly enough I was sick witha fever adna sinus infection the last twod ays of my vacation their last year and managed to miss halfof what IU wanted to do, not to mention the TV line-up sucked except for ABC Family adn the Japanese channel, even if it dind't show anything I wanted to see at the time, nor do I understand very much Japanese, I think Crash understand more than I do, but if they put GCN's into hotel rooms, heres a thought:

Build them into the wall of the room and allow rental fo a "Speical" version of the "Wavebird", that could be interesting, eh?
