Annotated Nintendo keynote [Update 5]

Saturn games were larger than N64? That's odd...

Saturn games were on CD's werent they? I do wish they would offer them though...I hardly played any Saturn games...missed out on Nights!

Every talks about the Revolution's lack of mass storage, but it has 2 USB ports, so wouldn't it be possible to utilize an external HDD? Not that Sony every made use of this even though the PS2 has USB ports (Does anybody know if those were USB 1.1 or 2.0?).

Anyone interested in the Phantom Hourglass movie?
A game trailer is availible at Nintendo.com, along with their keynote details...

Not all CD games used all the space, and much of the data is repeated to speed load times.

I do believe there were a couple games pack in the PS1 era that could fit in the RAM of modern home consoles.

NiGHTS...wasn't...that...great.

(and yes I've played it...I own it.)

OMG!!! Wow! This is a revolution. Playing the games of competing systems on one system. Man this is going to make all those kids who are now adults just spend all their money on getting those titles on the systems that their friends had, but they couldn't get. Remember how there was that one game that you always wanted, and couldn't find, now its online for you to download. Plus you know that they're going to have those strange foreign titles available too, opening up a whole new market to gamers. And on top of that, you know that the best sellers are going to be nintendo's own first party titles. That just means more money for them. This is pretty nice

Wow how eciting..I get to pay for old games I can emulate and play for free on my PC. Do actual "new" games for the revolution exist or is it going to be a $200 nostalgia machine.

Juicy,

"I get to pay for old games I can emulate and play for free on my PC"

People like you should be put in prison. If you can't afford to buy it, get a better job.

Emulating is for tards. Real gamers don't emulate, and neither do those folk who played these old games and forgot about them. Ie. My dad is going to be on Sonic 2 for a very long time. He doesn't play games anymore but he is very interested in the Rev


... jeez the Rev will have a huge market.
