More Revolution Info - Wii

8th June 2005, 10:57pm
Here's a bit more elaboration on the Revolution's downloading capabilities for the Nintendo back-catalogue. As we already know, there's 512MB of inbuilt flash memory (according to Satoru Iwata, it's flash memory rather than a hard drive to increase longevity and to make the system more durable), but what we didn't know is that you can transfer it to an SD card and then dump it ONTO YOUR COMPUTER!

This means that you don't have to pay for something (if we do end up paying), and then have to remove it when we run out of room to save things or when a new game is available for download. Additionally, there will be game demos available for download too! Latest news is that we will be paying for some downloads, though there will be different online plans, with some allowing free gaming - with a time limit.

It's been confirmed that everything that plugged into the Gamecube will plug into the Revolution too (except for the GBA player). That includes the killer Wavebirds, Donkey Kong bongos and DDR mats.
