Why do people have so much trouble with spelling raccoon correctly?

I don't know. I can spell rackune just fine.

Something I don't think they mentioned on that page is that the Revolution will act like an emulator for all previous Nintendo consoles. In other words, you can download games for the NES, SNES, and N64 to play on the Revolution. Granted, you'll have to pay for the service, but it's stil pretty awesome.

Yeah, I was really gawking at that. Revolution would be the ultimate retro-gamer's dream that way... Minus the controller. But perhaps that can be fixed? Y' never know.

I'm sure they'll make some third-party controllers that resemble the original console ones. After all, you can find Gamecube controllers that look like NES pads and such so I'm betting they'll make stuff like that for the Revolution too.

Raccoon or Racoon what's the difference?! Anyway, The Revolution's ability to d/l old school games is great! IGN has alot of news going on. Let's hope Revolution kicks [yo' mama].

It does make me curious how much the service will cost. Will it be a monthly payment thing? Or will it have a "pay by game" type service? I'm putting my money on the latter.

Revolution takes "Backwards Compatible" to a whole new level! Playing NES, SNES, N64, and Gamecube games in one machine! I wonder if they mean only Nintendo made games or any games altogether.

"Raccoon or Racoon what's the difference?!"

One c. It's not correct without the other. :P

"Let's hope Revolution kicks [yo' mama]."

Language. You agreed not to swear when you signed up.

~That also includes quoting as well, Vid. :P ~Sapph

I know, I was just reminding him. :P -Vid

~Yeah, but you didn't have to actually quote him. :P ~Sapph

Thanks for reminding me. -Vid

They said that it was going to work for all of them, not just the first party ones. Although, I may be mistaken.

This means I'll be able to play all thoes NES and SNES games that weren't re-made I missed out on! Now I don't have to get an SNES to play Super Mario RPG!
