Neo, once again you have befuddled me. You and your higher learning about the 4th dimension and...and, your spiffy little cap of knowledge.

I'm glad it's backwards compatible, now all my Gamecube games feel like a worthwhile investment.

I care not for the backwards compatibility! I wasn't gonna sell my Cube anyway.

We Nintendo fans have always stated that backwards compatibility (for PS2) was useless, and now suddenly we like it?

Good news about the online stuff.

Edit: wow Dyne, you posted mere seconds after me.

The new Zelda trailer is AWESOME.

Revolution sounds nifty.

Gamemaster is right; my 40 Gamecube games don't feel so antique anymore. ^__^

I never trashed the Backwards compatibility... I didn't know too many people that did.

I like backwards compatibility because I can buy Revolution and already have a nice sized library, and I only need to bring one console to University with me.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO???? Suddenly play all your old GameCube games, just because it's on a new console?????

Sorry hehe no offence, but I really don't understand that.... When you get the Revolution, you'll play Mario 128 so much that you can't bother to even look at your old GameCube games.

Exactly.

Backward compatibility is stupid. I don't like that move from Nintendo.

I was never against Backwards compatibility. It helps alot because what happens if your 'Cube or original Gameboy breaks? Stash it away and use Revolution/GBA.

If Ninty ever released an N64 Player for the 'Cube, I would buy it in a heartbeat because then I could almost permanently store it without worry and use my spiffy 'Cube to play N64 games on

I would find it interesting if the new systems gave enhancements to the old games.

Backwards compatibility is totally cool. That increases the shelf life of GC titles. And if the next game boy is a portable GameCube, we'll have three ways to play GC games!

Actually, you may be able to feel closer to the Revolution if you pick a spot next to your TV that the console will one day occupy. Then meditate on the fact that the Revolution is already sitting there, albeit in a different time. You of course have to take space relative to the earth, but it's all good. If you put enough energy into it you may be able to tip the light cone causing the future Revolution to align with your current instance of time.

Keep in mind, however, that by accomplishing this you risk punching a hole in our spacetime continuum. This hole would expand outward at the speed of light and annihilate the known universe. I accept no responsibility should this occur.

"Suddenly" play my old Gamecube games? No.

I'll continue to play my GameCube games, even though they are outdated. I can't see me not wanting some nights of Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, etc before their respective sequels arrive.

And I don't think the graphics are going to be so good on Revolution that we'll look at gamecube games and not be able to play them due to poor graphics. I think I'll still go back and play Wind Waker, Prime, Sunshine, and all the other great games in the library.
