# n a Nintendo first, the Revolution will sport an internal hard drive. The Revolution will have a two-sided, 8mm disk with a 5.4 GB capacity.
# The Revolution will be powered by twin processors. Just like Microsoft, Nintendo will use a custom IBM central processor. The one created for the Revolution is code-named "Broadway."
# The graphics card will be supplied by ATI and is code-named "Hollywood."
# Games will come on HD-DVD format discs rather than Sony's Blu-Ray format.
# Nintendo will finally get in the game with some online gaming support. Nintendo is set to create a service like Xbox Live. The early version of this service is what Nintendo is using to provide connectivity to the Nintendo DS.
# The Revolution will not support connectivity with the DS but will link up to Nintendo's next handheld game system.
# Preliminary development kits have already been released to some game studios. Apparently work has already begun on three of the launch titles -- new Mario, Zelda and Super Smash Bros. games.
# The Nintendo Revolution will use IEEE protocol to act as a wireless hub in the home. This will allow interaction with other Revolutions in the area.
# You will be able to hook the Revolution up to a television or computer monitor.
