So let's see, so far it's got:

-backwards compatabilty with Gamecube (in some form

-entire Nintendo back catalog available to download

And now we can add:

-Genesis catalog

-TurboGrafix catalog

Oh, and the PS3 is never coming out. Ever.

Thats so awesome that I cant even post anything that will do justice to it

So sweet

[Izuno]

how awesome is Nintento?

last weekend i located the missing power cable to my girlfriend's old SNES and the past week she's been playing supermario world that she had when she was in middle school over a decade ago. her old saved games were still intact. It looks great on her HD TV and she's having so much fun. I think I'm buying a Revolution this fall.

[Evert]

I haven't been hyped for a console in many many years, especially when there is so little info as there is on the revolution, but damn, I think I can say right now I'm getting one of those~~~~

[Furyo]

And this may mark the day I finally get my own console. A red letter day by all means.

[ginsengavenger]

I am so happy right now

[JamesL]

Heh Nintendo really do have their heads screwed on don't they. I work for Sony and I am more excited about the Rev than the PS3 (don't spread that around tho)

[skdr]

WTF Nintendo is awesome

mhh whats so special about old console games? there are emulators available for pc that play all these titles very well for years now.

Yeah, but its just not the same.

[RD]

this must be awesome news for those who have never heard of emulators

[ReNo]

I think its a nice feature, but one that people are putting too much hype on.

[JamesL]

Emulators don't (generally) run on console very well tho do they. I am the exception amongst the gamers I know nowerdays in that I play predominantly on PC. Most folks don't, so no they haven't heard of emulators and yes it is very cool for them.

[Izuno]

i dunno...emmulators means you gotta sit around the computer and play.

having the old SNES out means everyone can sit around the TV and enjoy the fun with the controllers the way it was meant to be played. i don't think my girlfriend would be interested in playing her SNES games on my PC. watching her play and appreciate a game the way I appreciate games means a lot. emmulators wouldn't allow for that.

anyway...old school games...why am more excited about finding an old Sega Genesis than most of the stuff coming out now? Only thing I ever played on genesis was Sonic and NHL Hockey.

Izuno just said what I was trying to say
