Unfortunately "helmet" gets me thinking "Virtual Boy part 2".

Perhaps you can plug in a Cube-controller?
Or you can configurate the new controller as if it were a cube one?
:?
So many questions and doubts... I hope they will reveal the info soon.

I don't think I will get a Rev. now. I am a die hard fan, but I want my normal controlers.

Nothing has been mentioned about the controllers yet, other than that the won't have a D-pad or, A and B buttons. judging from the e3 event, and what they had to show of the console... things aren't looking good for Nintendo in this Generation. Sure, backward compatibilty and emulation of all previous consoles is cool and all (and will likely sell it for a lot of memebers of the forum here) but that's only going to appeal to a very small market...

I'm missing the good old days with the NES, SNES, and N64. Nintendo was so big then. It seems they may fade away.....(hope not)

Well, I'm getting fully annoyed with the fact that they keep claiming to be the most innovative company around... NEWS FLASH guys... DDR with Mario, Mario Golf 45, Mario Baseball, Mario swimming lessons isn't innovation, it's taking a crappy idea, and plastering a tired old character all over it. and the Revolutionary thing about the "Revolution" is that it can play games from 20 years ago? as much as I appreciate that aspect, that's something you market as a small draw to the console, not as the main feature... I'm just not excited... this wasn't meant to be a bashing Nintendo post, but... well... they deserve it, they aren't even trying anymore!

The idea of bringing back old games is nothing new to Nintendo, however it may boost the interest in the older consoles. I think the Revolution is gonna need to pull something BIG or keep console prices low to be competitive.
My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

Well, what this tells me is that we all should be rushing to ROM sites for games... I'm sure there'll be a fee on the Revolution, and this gives Nintendo a reason for shutting down sites....

This is actually more info than I was expecting to get out of Nintendo from this year's E3 regarding "The Revolution". It looks like we've got another "sandwhich" in the making. The biggest surprise is still yet to come, in the form of those mysterious new controllers.

I think it's their marketing strategy not to boast around with hardware facts and stuff.
I won't judge Nintendo for doing nothing until they show their controllers and until it's clear how good the games will be.

Well, they will charge you for the NES, SNES, and N64 game downloads. I don't know if Nintendo could shut down ALL ROM sites, so I'm not as worried, but just incase, I'm downloading all the games I want/love.

Where Nintendo could really shine here is if they were to release games previously unreleased or not in that region. I figure certain games ("Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" for example) would be well accepted at this time. One thing that SCARES me is the mention of this being a pay-to-play deally. This could potentially mean inflation on prices of old games, since people may be more willing to pay for Nintendo's older consoles with cheaper games, thereby increasing demand. Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with people coming towards the roots, but to say that this won't affect prices of older systems is a joke. Lets hope they can keep prices way down on their pay games so there's minimal damage.
My List. Remember, everything can be bought, for a price.

I just read that article and i am quite pleased. I just hope the third party companies do not charge for the fees for downloading the classics.

You know what, I'm sold! I think this is the console I'm going to keep my eye on for now. The Xbox and PS3 I would like to have as well, but just to be able to get past games (Nintendo, POSSIBLY third party) is a really cool idea. I mean, yeah, most of us own them or play them through emulation, but I think this is a super cool thing that they're doing. I'll definitely wait 'til the smoke blows over on the prices and what-not, and to see how well everything runs with the downloading. My eye is on the Nintendo product for now...

Finnaly, someone else who is interested in the Rev. Personaly, I can't wait for it. I still think Nintendo has a lot of fresh ideas for the next gen of gaming.
