A - They're idiots
B - You're an idiot
C - I'm not going to post an intelligent reply on the matter since one has
already been posted.

I lurk here a lot so I thought I might contribute for once.

Firstly, the differences aren't just slight. For starters it's a new
codebase that Namco is using not the Nintendo MKDD codebase (there was an
interview with the project leader saying they started from scratch around
'03/04).

Secondly, it's network code actually works from all those who played it and
it isn't horribly convoluted like its baby brother (MKDD).

Thirdly, it uses a camera (eyetoy like) on each machine for some useless
purpose which MKDD doesn't and if its ported I can't see Nintendo releasing
a camera peripheral for a console that about to be superseded. (there is
already a camera in Japan but no one else is getting it from what I
understand)

Finally isn't this 6 month old news, I read about this back in Nov'04 and
watched some videos for it that were linked to the original article. It's an
interesting concept/rehash which may only work well in Japan.

** Triforce does not equal Gamecube (Triforce is rumoured to be twice as
powerful), the hardware then is quite different so a port may make things
very interesting. (who knows?) **

That's enough of my ramblings on... lol

Cheers

I actually thought you were serious at first. If this were true, I'd
buy a revolution just because of that ALONE!

SNES LIVES!!!

In all seriousness, I have to wonder why companies don't leave open a
legacy format for extremely low-end gaming. I used to think that it
would be too expensive to crank out batches of carts for such an old
system... but come on, if HK outfits can still pop out Famicom carts for
$3 each, I don't see why legit companies can't release budget games
for $9.99 each.

re:sut & sniderman

My posse is much much larger than you can imagine. You mess with CW, you
mess with ECGX, #rgvc, Game Crazy, the Intellivision Gaming Network,
etc...

I don't post stupid horseshit information without some knowledge and/or
proof backing it up.

In regards to that - It's just been confirmed by Nintendo that not only
will Revolution be backwards compatible with JUST Gamecube games, but
also Super NES games, and that Nintendo will be releasing Revolution
games on the SNES cart format!!!1111~~~~

Much love for my homies. *kisses and peace signs*
