"It will be able to use the games already created in the previous generation. And it is something that will work."
Of course, there have been a lot of rumors flying around, saying that the Revolution will be some sort of crazy absurd system like nobody's ever seen before, and it won't have a controller, and will be powered by brainwaves, and all sorts of other crazy stuff, so we really don't know anything. But I think it's a safe guess that it'll at least be capable of playing GameCube games, and it'll at least have a port to plug in a GameCube controller.

I would just be happy if it has 45 controller ports(now that would be a Revolution)!

Just take good care of your old systems so by the time they break you'll be too old to hold a controller without your hands shaking and your eyes watering.

How are they screwing you? There's nothing stopping you from keeping your Gamecube and continuing to play it. And it's not their fault you only bought a Cube now so you can't get mad at them for switching formats too soon. It looks like the Cube will have the normal five year life.
I want the Revolution to have backwards compatibility for two reasons. 1. Because the PS3 will have it and the Revolution should match its features. 2. Backwards compatibility suggests a more traditional controller design so I don't have to worry about some wacky powerglove sh!t that only works well for a few gimmick games. But backwards compatibility isn't a make or break issue to me and it shouldn't be for anyone. I still have my SNES and play it all the time. It's entirely up to the individual if they keep their old systems and games. I think Nintendo should include it because there ARE people who consider it a make or break issue but it shouldn't have to be.

I agree with you. I'm afraid they're going to screw up the new system with a "revolutionary" feature that will "revolutionize" the way games are played ... Sort of like the "revolutionary" DS.

3 different Xbox 2's: downgrade
Revoltion having backwards compatibility: upgrade
Only being able to use a power glove: downgrade
PS3: downgrade

and it won't have a controller, and will be powered by brainwaves,
Teh Brainsphere!
Anyways, Not every Revolution purchaser, has a Gamecube, but they might want to buy SSB Melle, or Eternal Darkness. Im all for that. Heck, My TV has one AV plug andd its a pain to unplug it for older systems

I'm still bugged why there's a whole other thread on this topic.
And if you want to know, go to the screwball drips at IGN, they know eeeeeeverything. Why just last week they reported that you're brain waves would function as a controller by sticking your head into the Revolution. Wow IGN owns them other n00bs.

I've read somewhere that the PS3 will not be able to play psOne games. That was months ago, however. Pherhaps things have changed?

maybe right at the beginning, and only very few of them, but once Revolution has a serious lineup forget, you wont touch the GCN, and anyway, as someone said before, just keep your GCN, its not worth much used anyway, i bet it will drop to 50 soon, and that new
