Pretty much confirmed news:
The Revolution will also be a wireless router for the home, connect broadband to it and it will allow nearby consoles to link and go online. Such as a DS for example.
Rumours:
Revolution will be VERY cheap, will be only a little more powerful than a Gamecube and vastly inferior to X-box 360 and PS3. There will be multiple controllers, touch screen, gyro and camera are all being touted.
If the latter is true then I told you Nintendo are gunning for a different market.

Shame they're not as good and don't have compelling multiplayer like the N64 ones then.

Crystal Chronicles is a new franchise, how it could have been "dumbed down" I'll never know.
Donkey Kong has not had a traditional new 3D platformer, so no dumbing down there.
And Mario sells third party games.

I died once throughout the entire game.
Compare that to the first time I played through Ocarina of Time and it shows how insanely easy the game was, the freaking bosses weren't even challenging.

They've pretty much admitted now that they were wrong to take this approach.

Wouldn't be difficult though would it?

I don't think it was a case of deliberatly dumbing down, more of a case of Nintendo making it a tad too easy. It wasn't all that easy REALLY either.

Dumbed down what franchises?
No Online gaming was part of Nintendo's "simple game machine" idea.
There is more western and third party games for the Gamecube than their were for the N64.
Nuff said.

...and dumbing several franchises down until you just want to scream at the absurdity. :)
