I am new to this whole video game thing....... I was told just the other day that you can burn the games to discs and play them off of a website, but I am not sure where. If you want to just wait, the Nintendo revolution will have a fully downloadable back-catalog of every game that existed on a Nintendo, Turbo GraphX, and Sega Genesis system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't heard the sega part either, where'd you see that? And I wonder if you can still hook up GC controllers like one of the 1st mock-ups showed... Can't wait to see what Nintendo does next month at E3 And by the way, I think I want a navy blue DS Lite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the supposed specs on Gamespot http://www.gamespot.com/features/6146540/index.html If you scroll down, there is a part that reads "Backwards Compatibility" And yes, it is said to have 2 gamecube controller ports I am so pumped for this, there are so many old games I cant wait to play, starting with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Can they fix my broken baseball stars cartridge? That game ruled until you burnt out a chip in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 There was a site posted a while back from Bob Dylan where you could just play any old NES game on the internet (good times playing Mike Tyson Punch Out all over again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this website that has a timeline theory mapped out for the games, which was pretty interesting to me. If you watch the beginning of Windwaker, you can sort of see the timeline.

Kyyle23 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 For a free trip out to LA to be the first to play the Nintendo Revolution, you can enter the AOL sweepstakes here. It isnt likely any of us would win, but it doesnt hurt to enter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSide2004 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Seeing that some of you are Nintendo fans, I thought you guys might want to know about this: http://revolution.ign.com/articles/703/703502p1.html April 27, 2006 - Nintendo revealed this morning that the official name of its formerly codenamed Revolution system is Nintendo Wii. The Big N explained the decision behind the name in a statement, which we've provided below: Introducing... Wii. As in "we." While the code-name Revolution expressed our direction, Wii represents the answer. Wii will break down that wall that seperates videogame players from everybody else. Wii will put people more in touch with their games... and each other. But you're probably asking: What does the name mean? Wii sounds like "we," which emphasizes the console is for everyone. Wii can easily be remembered by people around the world, no matter what language they speak. No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii. Wii has a distinctive "ii" spelling that symbolizes both the unique controllers and the image of people playing it. And Wii, as a name and a console, brings something revolutionary to the world of videogames that sets it apart from the crowd. So that's Wii. But now Nintendo needs you. Because it's really not about you or me. It's about Wii. And together, Wii will change everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I finally saw in a magazine how the new controller is supposed to work. I only saw it used for a couple of shooting games but basically the controller will act as the gun in the game. If you twist it left or right the gun in the game with twist left or right. Seems to me they tried this one other time and it was a pretty spectacular flop. Back then it was called the Power Glove... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 27, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) No, not WTF. Its Wii. I really liked the name Revolution, and I'm not liking this new name. Just like I don't like the name "the cell" and still call the park Comiskey, I'm gonna keep calling it the Revolution. I prefer nintendo over xbox or playstation and am anxiously awaiting the Revolution (and its low cost), but I'm still skeptical. I hope there's playable demos and LOTS of good news coming from E3. And I don't wanna be reminded of a gigantic teenage female golf player that looks like she has Down's while I'm playing video games. (Sorry, bad joke.)

IIRC, the code name for the gamecube was "Dolphin". But I agree, Wii just doesnt have the same kick to it that Revolution does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) The name is absolutly horrible(although I see what they are trying to do). Nintendo seemed to do everything right so far, but they messed up here. However, the logo is badass.

3E8 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Revolution is generic. Wii is unique and I love how the 'i' represents the innovative controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me they tried this one other time and it was a pretty spectacular flop. Back then it was called the Power Glove... Back then they didn't have the technology. Nor was the Power Glove a Nintendo product. And I'm not sure you are getting it right. From my understanding in FPS games, the Revmote will essentially be a Light gun, while movement will be done with the nunchuck add-on. In Red Steel, the Revmote will also act as a sword. Nothing like this has really ever been tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
