Unfortunatly, I don't see it happening with the Revolution. From what I've read, VR would take more power/memory than the system is rumored to contain.

Maybe part of the Revolution is using less power for that stuff. If it's two to three times the power of the Gamecube, then then it might be possible, right? Either way, we will all find out on May 9th, 2006.

from what ive read over 1,000 developer kits have been handed out for the revolution... but they are still beta... the first 2-3 were using a modified game cube but worked well...

from what ive read about specs it will be better than the PS2 + Xbox... but just below the xbox306 + ps3...

cant wait for its realease =X oh and the new zelda =D

The Zelda release has been really frustrating. Delay, delay, delay. Unless it beats out the three best Gamecube games combined, I don't think having Gamecube only content for the game would make any sense. But I think you'll be able to play it with the Revolution controller too (not just the shell). Mmm, sword slashing...

either way, you'll be able to play it on the rev even if they dont make it a cross-console games as many rumors have stated. i don't know if you've seen all the pics, but there's a little flap that opens on the side which contains the four gcn controller socket and two memory card slots. but i must say that nintendo's future is looking very bright. microsoft rushed the launch of the 360, with not such an excellent launch title line-up.(this can be argued) you can't live off of halo forever, and there is some talk of bungee maybe switching over to nintendo. the ps3 will be amazing, but at a very high price! i have faith in nintendo, they've been making excellent products in the upmost quality for over two decades now, and are headed in the new, right direction.

The Rev controller definitely beats the PS3 controller.

Reason:

Rev controller = nunchukes

PS3 controller = boomerang

Nunchukes always beat a boomerang!

Bungie...Nintendo *drools* I would like it if Nintendo bought Free Radical Design from EA. I'm not sure what good Bungie would bring to Nintendo, though. It's kind of like the way I view a Nintendo-Microsoft partnership: great idea, but what would they do? They will probably have an issue with the Rev. controller: it may be comfortable, but like the original NES controller, it is rectangular, leaving room for ergonomic improvements.
