New Nintendo

[sucka free]

I heard a rumor that the new nintendo system will allow you to download old nes games and play some of them online.  This may mean that we can download RBI and compete against each other.  sweet.

That rumor is in fact, completely false.  Nintendo wants NOTHING to do with backwards compatibilty.  Sony is into bacwords compability though

Proof?  Or you just talking or are you sure this is true in regards to the Revolution?

It's not a rumor, idiot. It's quite true.

though, one would think of such capibility when the controllers can adapt to the old style controller...

Again I ask for some proof, but I'm pretty sure you're just talking out your ass.

Have you ever tried reading?

I suppose your next argument will be that "oh, well Nintendo may say it's gonna have it, but it won't." In that case, I hereby decree that while all of the released information regarding Sony's PS3 indicates that the system will run via the new Cell processor, it actually will be run by fluffy pink bunnies. Trust me on this. I'll get the last laugh.

I read an article on it the other day - it's motion-sensitive.  You hold it in one hand like a remote, with your thumb on the D-pad and your index finger (probably) on the B button on the back.  The controller responds not only to movement, but also to rotation (I believe it has some small gyroscopes in it), so it seems that much of the movement in games will be done by moving the controller.  There are also attachments, such as an analog stick that plugs into the controller - in the article I read, they had a modified version of the Metroid FPS that used controller movements to look and the analog stick to move.

For NES games, I assume you would hold the controller sideways and use the A and B buttons on the "bottom" of the controller.

well, nintendo may say its gonna have it, but it won't

Can you come up with one reason why they wouldn't do this?  The system comes WiFi-enabled, so it would be able to easily connect to the internet, and Nintendo owns the rights to the games they made, so licensing wouldn't be an issue at least for those.  I assume they'd sell the games, not offer them for free, if that's what you're thinking the problem would be.  Nintendo has been re-releasing older games for the GBA and DS, so it's not like they're against the idea of reusing their games.

That controller seems really cool.  its just to bad that all kiddie, cartoony games come out on the Nintendo system

Yes, but I'll have to get one just so the wife can play the new Zelda game.
