"Few more Rev snippets ..."

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.

compared to the 360 and the ps3? well theres a big difference between the gfx of them 2 consoles, if your saying is correct tho, then ill be happy :D

Probably in some room, perhaps an office, perhaps a nice cafe, perhaps even a press-conference-type room with lots of microphones everywhere.
