    Actually the new Zelda will be coming out during Christmas, atleast in the US and Japan

    Another reason why I'd want 360: it might be backwards compatible.

    The Revolution is also rumored to be backwards compatible, although I'm not sure, I haven't exactly been looking for information, to busy reading and playing

    The revolution is confirmed to be backwards compatible, not only with the GC (it accepts GC disks) but also with every nintendo console back to the NES. Though only first party games are confirmed to be available for the NES/SNES/N64 library so far. Nintendo said other games will be available on a game by game basis.

    It's my genuine opinion that The Wind Waker was better than Ocarina of Time. Wait a minute, flog me after I get my shield.

    Anyways, personally the bad thing about the GC was simply the fact that it had a lack of games of the genres that are made by third-party developers: RPGs, action-adventure, and yes even race games such as GT4. Especially the lack of good RPGs on the GC is the biggest problem for me. SquareEnix gave the GC FF: Crystal Chronicles while them lucky PS2 players got FFX. Sigh.

    That's why I don't know. Revolution for those amazing Nintendo games, or PS3 for the amazing level of choice and the great RPGs? I'll tell you what, online Super Smash Bros. and that online library of every Nintendo game since the NES is a real pro for the Revolution!

    You will be able to play NES games over the internet, and I read somewhere that the revolution aims for revolutionary online support. What I am hoping is that they will be a system that let's you play the old NES games with other people over the internet, that would be so awesome. ANYONE who thinks he can beat Fragony when he controls Blanka will suffer!

    OMG think of it -- that old Mario Bros. game where you had to kill the turtles that came out of the pipes on the top of the level by hitting the brick under them with a jump, online! Or the original Super Mario Kart!

    Ooo... How about Zelda Orcarina of Time Multiplayer? One could be Navi, the other Link...

    Gah! No! :flogs Wiz:

    And it's good that the new Nintendo will be backwards (though I don't have any Gamecube games anyway....) But will it really be able to play my old N64 and SNES games? That would be awesome....
