Nintendo Wii Information

Nintendo Wii (aka Revolution) is powered with IBM and ATI hardware and will be backwards compatibility with the GameCube, feature wireless controllers and come with online support and DVD playback functions.

Finally, Nintendo Wii will be an all-in-one box, allowing you to simply play all retro titles ever created on any Nintendo branded living room system. From Famicom to Super NES, N64 and GameCube! Most of the classics will be available for download, a media-rights content managing software being integrated in the system for this purpose.

Nintendo has revealed the final name of project Revolution. The next Nintendo console will be simply called Wii (as in "We").

Specifications currently confirmed are backwards compatibility with the GameCube, a revolutionary remote control style wireless controller, online support and DVD playback function.

Eschewing its previous business ideas, Wii will be online-friendly, and support a broadband gaming service similar to that of Microsoft's Xbox Live. Its most significant contribution to online gaming will be the ability to download games, and not just simple puzzlers or platformers from the NES days. GameCube titles will be downloadable, though it's not clear whether the games will be saved to a storage devices or memory cards.

Power of the system is supposed to be two to three times more than the GameCube, while Sony claims PlayStation 3 has dozens of times more to spit from under the hood than the previous (current) generation of systems. What the final machines can really do, future will tell, but Nintendo already had this comment to add to the debate, speaking to USA Today: "It's not all about having 'turbo power, It's about what you do with it."
