thread_title:  About the name 

message: I moved the article because it is very unlikely that the next console will be called "GameCube 2"
*Should this article now be moved to Nintendo 21? BrokenSegue 21:15, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Theres absolutely no official news on the name and Nintendo still refers to it as Revolution. Wait for something official. E3 isn't that far away. K1Bond007 22:21, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
Wait until TGS (tokyo game show) to change any of the name stuff, its imperative that N release all the juicy details about the system so we should know for sure then, no need to change it till then **EDIT: Recently read the TGS company list of who is gonna be there for 05 and nintendo, as usual, is not on it. Do not worry about this, nintendo does not usually show up at this event with anything new or at all. N will probably show Revolution at the Nintendo Space event thingy.**EDIT AGAIN: I WAS WRONG!! again....><68.153.29.23 20:14, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: It's a confirmed fake, by a rather creative individual called Pablo Belmonte. You can find his site here, and he's hosting various "teaser" promos for the console to boot.Sockatume 16:32, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Helmet? 

message: Confirmed is that the console will run Nintendo GameCube games natively and NES, Super NES, and N64 games in "virtual console" emulation. Speculation is that the console will run Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance games in emulation. But this still doesn't add up to Nintendo's entire back catalog, as it excludes Nintendo Virtual Boy games, those Game & Watch games that have not been ported to the Game Boy, and those Game Boy titles that are not compatible with the Game Boy Player, such as Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble and episodes of the Pokémon animated series in Game Boy Advance Video format. I changed the article to "over 98 percent". --Damian Yerrick 06:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The revision history is flooded with my revisions and I just wanted to note that it's so users may revert to an earlier revision to make a correction without reverting all my work (and because I was obsessed). If for some reason, all my work is to be reverted, so be it - (but please explain why). But I just wanted to give people (including myself) the option to correct and revert without getting rid of everything in the process. --Ritz 21:39, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ritz the only method I know for reverting articles involves restoring a previous version of an article by editing a previous version stored in history. If your first edit was to be reverted, the whole thing would be (well, it would probably just be changed). Although, I could be wrong. Juan Ponderas 04:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Oh ya, I understand that, but in the case only a bit of my edits needed to be corrected - the option to go back only a little bit is there. Anyway, the greatest reason for huge amounts of edits is just me finding something to correct, fixing it and then saving, just to find something new... :) --Ritz 04:40, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  About all my edits 

message: Someone added a new rumor regarding button placement on the controller. I feel the paragraph and quote integration is ok, must could use some improvement. I seem to be lacking the skill to have the paragraph "flow" properly, so if anyone wants to try there hand at editing diction and grammar to make the paragraph easier to read, and general improved over its current state, that would be great. Thanks. --Ritz 00:12, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding recent "controller" paragraph 

message: I'm pretty sure that it was said at the E3 keynote that you would be able to move games you download onto SD cards (hence the DRM). Therefore the remarks in the article about a lack of memory for certain games, such as those about possible downloads of Sega games, aren't correct. Because, with SD cards, a lack of space won't be a problem, assuming you have enough money to buy more SD cards. - Jalexster
: It would be remarkably expensive for the consumer if they needed to use a 800+ meg SD card to download a single game. As well as the fact that it would eat up insane amounts of bandwidth if downloads were attempted. Its just not cost effective. --Ritz 19:05, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't there a built-in cache of flash memory—512MB if I heard correctly—and the SD cards are used as an expansion of that memory? -- VederJuda 12:45, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  800 MB? The largest cartridge ever produced for Nintendo 64 was 64 MB (512 Mb). There were very few games that used a cartridge that large. In fact, the only one I can remember is Resident Evil 2, although I think there might have been one other. Most games will be much smaller. The largest game produced for SNES was Tales of Phantasia at 6 MB, (almost?) all others were 4 MB or smaller. Unless one downloads a lot of Nintendo 64 games, the internal memory of 512MB will be plenty. --24.45.19.51 21:31, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
