Today's issue of USA Today ran some of the first details on Nintendo's next-gen console and Revolution will be the final name. The machine is roughly two to three times as powerful as the GameCube. "It's not all about having 'turbo power,' " Nintendo's Perrin Kaplan told USA Today. "It's about what you do with it." The online service will feature downloads of a wide range of Nintendo titles, from old classics like Donkey Kong to GameCube releases such as Super Mario Sunshine. No word yet on if they will be free of charge. "We've built Revolution around the concept of 'all-access gaming,'" said Kaplan. "We're about sticking to the soul of gaming."

    Pretty good presentation but still very little revolution info... the system seems like its just a compilation release that can play mildly more technically impressive games than the GC + every other Ninty game ever =/

    The vibe I'm getting right now is that they aren't prepared for the next generation style nor do they like it. It seems Revolution will be much less powerful intentionally.

    This makes sense after hearing Denis Dyack's bitching about Nintendo, after SK left second party. He pretty much said they aren't looking toward big budget future titles, and are sticking to basic games.
