Don't know why it matters, but Ninty are setting up 25,000 Wi-Fi hotspots around Europe for the DS and Revolution. DS, then ... unless you want to carry your console + TV + everything down to some random hole in the town centre? Muh.
Anywho - good stuff: online Revolution games only need 1 person to have the actual game, and the others just be dirty feeves. Good, perhaps not for sales, but good anyway.
Also, the downloadable games can come from any server - so we'll be able to download games avaliable in Japan, i.e. all those excellent games that never made it over here can be ours. The N64 games should all get a boost in frame-rates apparently, though appearances will stay the same.
On the world-wide launch: not quite, but from the inital Japanese release, they say it will be everywhere within 14 weeks. Which is ... well, quite a long time, but not as long as usual.
And, nicely enough, "Revolution software will look no different, visually speaking, compared to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 software."
Here's to hoping.

All I make out from this, is that the discs will look the same.
Woop!

I find it hard to believe that revolution software will look as good software running on the ps3. The ps3 hardware will be so much more powerful meaning, in general, the games will look better.
But I, for one, dont mind at all. I think its a given that the revolution will be more powerful than the gamecube and thats good enough for me.
Remember people, we are playing GAMES here - not trying to simulate real world senarios in hyper-realistic visuals.

Here here!
I'm fed up with the 'graphics are better on......' argument!
Whats the point in playing the game if all you want is 100% realism - just open the front door and go out if thats what you want!
