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."
