Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi

Posted by Hemos on from the good-ideas dept.

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 Satoru Iwata, Nintendo president, confirmed that the new console will be able to run games originally made for the GameCube.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

    It is ironic that Nintendo it telling people that they should innovate.. meanwhile back at the lab they are creating another Mario or Metroid or Donkey Kong game.

    Gimme a break, these guys are constantly on a "you guys need to reinvent gaming" speel. Why not eat your own dog food Nintendo and give us a new fucking game for once?

    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a true hidden gem.
