Oh, and on that note, have they said if you'll be able to use Revolution's wireless connections as a LAN connection? It would be pretty handy if you would be able to set up multiple Revolutions in close proximity without a wire connecting them for LAN play.

I'm not sure where I read this (or if I'm just making it up...), but I think I remember Nintendo confirming it a while ago. There was also a rumor that the Rev would be capable of game sharing like on the DS, so that + LAN would be just about the best thing ever.

Hmmm...now I'm thinking. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to interpretting specs and I pretty much know shit about anything, but the latest specs from IGN say that the rev will have a few segmented sections of RAM. Is it possible that one's for saves, one's used while playing games, and one's used for storing temporary game data for game sharing? IGN said that there was extra "external" RAM which could be accessed as quickly as the internal RAM, could it be used for something like this? Don't see why not.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, let's take the N64.

- Emulating the N64 is pretty terrible in my opinion. Out of the question (actually, I hate emulating anything, h8 keyboard)
- My controllers are completely shot because of the awful control stick.
- Most games have such terrible frame-rate that I can't play them without feeling sick.

Now, I'm assuming the Rev will improve the framerate for these games, but I think it's pretty likely so whatev. So instead of buying extra N64 controllers (where can I even find them?) for multiplayer and putting up with the terrible frame-rates, I'd rather download the games and play them on the Rev. I wouldn't mind spending more money on Rev controllers because I'd be able to use them in the future for NES, SNES, N64, and Rev games (and cube, perhaps.)

And then there's the fact that the Rev will be able to replace my SNES, N64, Genesis, and Cube on the shelf, freeing up TONS of space. I never owned an NES or Turbo either, but I guess emulating them wouldn't be so bad because they don't have many buttons. Whatever.

How ya doing, buddy?
