Some Rev Games at launch

That's all it's meant to be, everyone is just looking at it like you're buying an emulation machine (which I do recommend doing with an old PC though, and an arcade cabinet).

I hate to bring it up, but it goes right back to the world being against Nintendo. Every thread about Revolution turns into people arguing over whether or not emulation will sell consoles. No one talks about Xbox Live Arcade selling consoles, or PS3 backwards compatibility selling consoles. But if it's Revolution...

Perhaps it has something to do with xbox live arcade is just ONE of the many many features and things they revealed about the console, and pretty much the only thing we know about evolution is.... emulators.

hard to argue on different issues when they only give you 1 to argue on. Which is exactly what i was saying, instead of nintendo focusing on all this. they SHOULD be telling us all about the other things the console can do.

The list is probably bogus, but still... this thing is a great bonus for Revolution, though not a reason to buy in itself due to emulation (although I can't stand playing Super Mario Bros 3 with a keyboard or crappy PC gamepad).

I don't see Null's point being logical... just because it's one of the only confirmed things we know doesn't make it any different than what we know for XBox 360 and PS3. We know their specs, and a few games they will have. With Revolution, we can guess the specs, and pretty much assume the games it will have. The only thing we DON'T know about Revolution is the controller... we know pretty much everything else, even if we haven't seen it.

actually on PC you can just use any controller you want, wanna play NES games, use the original NES gamepad, or SNES, etc. so not seeing your point there really. (and they look 10 times better on PC then the original or any emulator on a console, that is one of the reasons i like it, i can smooth everything out, make things sharper, clearer, etc.) But all that is beside the point, emulators are fun, its not a matter of what the're played on.

My point is very simple. this is the time when nintendo needs to really push what it will have and what it can do and new features, BEFORE people buy a 360, BEFORE people reserve a PS3, they need to give people a reason to wait. they need to create hype. and they dont, they leave you in the dark on pretty much everything. and tell you about little things, sure the emulation is neat, but i want to hear about the big things.

we dont know thier specs, Nintendo said about 3 times more powerful then GC, that means nothing, we dont know much about thier games. Im sorry, emulators arent the only thing we know, we know how it'll look. im talkin, official info, not speculated info. This is not putting down nintendo at all, im interested, thats why i want to hear about this stuff and not just thier emulators. i can play the emulators now if thats what im waiting for.

I have a ton of NES/SNES/N64 ROMS on my computer but being able to play it without worrying about graphic glitches, crashses, etc...is enough to excite me. Hell, if I can play Goldeneye/Perfect Dark at at least higher framerates, I would just cream all over.

and you can do all thoes things already. Theres nothing wrong with emulation on the console, most consoles are able to do it one way or another. and its a very nice feature to have out of the box. just not what im looking to hear about right now.
but theres absolutly not doubt that if nintendo gives me a reason to buy its next console that i would use that feature. (tho i have a feeling there will be a catch later on)

How many of you agree with that guy who said the Real revolution was no-access fees on the emulation on Revolution?

When I read that, the bomb dropped.

I dont care that I can do it already. I've been doing it for a long time. Its just that it would be nice to sit in front of a TV and play the Classics without having to buy special 'hardware' to do so (tv out stuff, etc...).

Its just one massive gimmick...wait, deja vu, where did that come from?

About the 3 x more powerful thing. On IGN they confirmed that just a rumour or something?

Q: Is Revolution "two-to-three times more powerful than GameCube"?

A: USA Today reported this news based on a comment from Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan. The information was later determined to be false. We do not yet know how much more power Revolution wields over its predecessor.
