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 Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president, confirmed that the new console will be able to run games originally made for the GameCube.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."

    Actually, I thought you were going to go the other way and say that games can be terrible looking and still be terrific. A lot of the RPGs for the SNES and original Playstation have terrible graphics by today's standards, but they still rank as some of the best games ever made IMO.
