I'm actually looking forward to the Revolution. (I have this thing for Nintendo). They are gonna have online access, and you'll be able to play ALL of their games (from NES til now) by getting them online.
(warning- i may be a little bit off with some of the info :P )

Mr. Iwata revealed that Revolution will be arriving in 2006 and announced that the system will be backward compatible with Nintendo GameCube games. In addition, Revolution will have downloadable access to 20 years of fan-favorite titles originally released for Nintendo 64, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and even the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).
Mr. Iwata also announced that Revolution will feature wireless controllers and compatibility with the newly announced wireless gaming service Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Many attendees cheered when Mr. Iwata revealed that key franchises will be compatible with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection at launch, including Super Smash Bros.

It's funny seeing everyone go wireless with the controllers. I remember when I first got the NES system and got the wireless controls, I was like "Whoa!" It's weird how I'm having the same reaction with these guys doing it as standard.
My brother tells me that the Revolution will have a Power Glove like controller! That would be awesome! :w00t:
What was the name of that movie where this kid went around playing video games, and he wore a power glove at the finals or something. i cant remember :P
Found the movie: The Wizard! aww the memories
:P
