Yeah, pretty much anyone who actually wanted to play any of Nintendo's Golden & Silver (8- & 16-Bit...respectively? you decide) Age games has already done so using existing emulators & ROMs (or maybe they *shock* have the old systems). So that leaves the "Wii" with, what? A few good 64 games? Are they gonna have the Gamecube library? Doubtful. Their handheld library? That might be worth it...But I doubt it'd have SP and probably not even GBA...

I hear however that Nintendo are going to enhance the previous games *wink wink*. Plus, Nintendo are INCREDIBLY smart. They know doing this will make downloading ROMs totally illegal, because the games were considered abandonware before. Well, by some.

What? Those games were never abandonware. All this will do is snap the people who lied to themselves out of it.

It's ok. Think about how many times you'll say it in one day haha. Well I'm gonna buy it for sure. Wouldn't it be awesome if they came out with a new chrono trigger game for it? Hey a guy can dream can't he?

Emulators and ROMs don't work very well some times.  Have you ever tried to play Super Contra on Emulators?  At least for the emulator I was using (ZSNES), you couldn't aim diagonally.  Same thing for Metroid games on GBA emulators.  And hopefully, there will be translations of only in Japan games, suck as Fire Emblem 1-6.

And the Wii is fully backwards compatible with the Gamecube.

Enhansed SNES games are always good.

The name is fucking stupid. The console is gonna be insanely fucking great. Legal full backward compatibility is the shit, especially with said rumored enhancements. Now if that includes save states, cheats, and speed functions, life is set.

But Nintendo wasn't going to actually call it the Revolution anyway. It was CODENAMED that until they had actually thought of a name.

Quote from: Wikipedia
On April 27, 2006, Nintendo changed the Revolution section of their official website, http://revolution.nintendo.com, to announce the official name (as opposed to the codename, Revolution)

Still the new name sucks.

As soon as I get my temp job at Bausch and Lomb, I am definately saving up for one. Like Mystik3eb said, the console is going to kick arse but the name is really gay . . . I totally agree

The name is "gay"? You say "gay" to something you don't like? Wow, this really sucks, I mean, why you do so?
