"Revolution - Any basic info?"

Anyone give me a link (or answers) for the following info:

1. Any idea of launch date/price etc?
2. How will the whole backwards compatibility work?
3. Will it purely be for games or play DVD's etc?
4. Any form of online play planned?

Cheers :-)

man, they were awful, i think i heard theyre making completly new ones, which i hope will be as far away from the gc version as possible

It should be good, no doubt they'll find some way to screw it up: like using the crappy arenas from the cube version instead of good ones like the N64 and SNES versions.

mario kart will be ftw!!!!

MP3? Oh dear. Not quite what I had in mind.

MK should be good but only because no-one has seen fit to do a decent online clone on any other system.

You can get a USB device that plugs into your PC and enables the console to go online wirelessly. So it's hardly a problem.

Hmmmm Animal Crossing, Smash Brothers, Mario Kart and Metroid Prime 3 (launch title Hedfix) all online.

EDIT: See Whitestripes beat me to it.

Yep, it was a detailed picture of a house.

I think it required a better mechine.

Indeed.

I used a demo picture on an old Lin Cad program and then plotted it, it broke the machine. :S

Nintendo will release a wireless adaptor. There is one for the DS, if you don't have wireless you get this little device that looks similar to a USB memory stick, plug it into your PC and it sends a wireless signal to your DS/Rev.

Very well thanks.

Our plotter is very slow. To do an A0 print takes ages.
