Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi

nparasu writes "Nintendo released fresh details about its upcoming games console, codenamed Revolution, at a game developers conference. Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president, confirmed that the new console will be able to run games originally made for the GameCube. Despite the hardware announcements, most of Mr Iwata's speech, entitled "The Heart of the Gamer", was a call for more imaginative game design. Game creators cannot rely on better graphics and more powerful games machines to attract new audiences, Mr Iwata said. He also revealed that Revolution will come with wi-fi connectivity built-in."

(a) the games: There are tons of great games on the gamecube. But you probably are unhappy with the lineup because you can't kill everything in sight without reason like in GTA.

(b) the controller: It's literally designed so that the controls require you to move your thumb no farther than 1/4 inch to reach the next button. I don't understand why people have such a hard time with this controller. "Which button do I push?" "Gee, I don't know there Einstein. This is just a guess, but could it be THE GIANT FUCKING GREEN BUTTON DIRECTLY IN THE MIDDLE?" "Well what button goes back?" "Try the RED ONE, the natural opposite of the GREEN ONE."
