Welcome to Gaia! ::

First, I don't think nintendo will have all that cd/dvd s**t. They might make a plug in for them, but it wouldn't be part of the system itself. They might do online, but I doubt it. And...WHAT THE HELL! X-box doesn't have better graphics...more realism perhaps, but not graphics. Take a look at Metroid Prime and SSBM. Those games are all about graphics. Just a note, but being cartoonish does not make a game have bad graphics. Windwaker has the second best graphics so far, right behind metroid prime. Please realize, that most X-box games focus on realism, not graphics. Graphics is how soft/sharp the images are, how smooth they look (move). Once again, it is not how real the game looks.

Well, by status, Xbox is the strongest, while Gamecube is close to Xbox, It just isn't Xbox.
I did a research thingy about how close Gamecube is to Xbox, and how GC and XBOX really pwn PS2, powerwise.
.. It took me 60 bucks too do that, you know? =p Then someone restarted the computer and I had all the proof on the damn computer. o-o;

Did you read what I said about realism vs. graphics? Metroid Prime 2 easily beat Halo 2 for graphics. Nintendo just have better ideas what to put into the environment. And no, X-Box doesn't beat GC for power. GC is the strongest gaming consol out right now. It has the fastest load time (just look at SC2) and it rarely freezes. My GC froze once, and that was only after I dropped it on my hard-wood floor. It never slows down. And that is all because it doesn't have online play. But like I said, if it does get all those special features, it should get them as an attachment, not as part of the consol.

Yes...but it would still slow the GC down...attachments! Attachments! That way we can choose what we want. If we don't have a telephone cord, we don't have to pay extra for it!

I think they will actually include many more thanks than other consols will have to offer. After all they do revolutionize the gaming world. Sure game cube lacked but it also improved some things. like having an add on port to play gba or gameboy games on your game cube. better controll styling. Smaller more compact disks. Sure there gameing market wasnt the best but nintendo wasnt always about the rough tumbling shootem ups or violent games which some of you seem to forget (look back on all the older systems by nintendo). Online play yes I'm certain their gonna have more games for online play after all the mass of consumers demand it -.-' but with nintendo we really cant say. there really unpredictable as to what there gonna come out with.

I've been reading the posts here and Nintendo Revolution looks to be an awesome system, but there is only one thing I want. I want an online Super Smash Bros. game. Everything else for me will just be "extra goodies"

There already are wireless controllers. They are called "wavebirds".
