theyre FMV... i get them for their gameplay... who cares if you can see cool
cutscenes... the 3d sequences, i agree, dont look as good, but they do the
job almost as good.  1080 degree snowboarding is going to rock... its one of
those non-cutesy games nintendo is accustomed to, and it looks phenomenal...
and i wouldnt care if it included cut-scenes or not (which it does)

2 + 1.5 VRAM = 3.5

true.

That's illogical. The games make the system.
