[the_dude]

At last Nintendo's latest console will be backward compatible with Gamecube games, listen to the Satoru Iwata speech here:

I wish there was a Video to accompany the Audio, brilliant speech so far.

There is. The entire keynote is up for download on IGN.

Watched it last night and it's entertaining, Iwata really knows what he's doing. No Reggie on stage but still, well worth the download.

Have you got to be an Insider?

Iwata and Reggie are brilliant. Gives me a sense of pride and joy in seeing dear ol' Nintendo apparently finally waking up and becoming less stupid. As crazy and insane as always, but a little less stupid. And without that old fossil Yamauchi and his antics. Yeah yeah, he's still got controlling powers in the company via his ownership of the stock majority but bah. He's taking a back seat and occupying himself with his little animation project.

Has anyone got a link to the IGN sawata speech. Can't seem to find it.

Edit - Scrub that, they have it on Gamespot.

Bit long winded. Wish he'd get to the point.

I hope it is region free backwards compatable.

[Dezm0nd]

Chances of that are slim, arse, i didnt think of backwards compat regions.

meh, give it 6-12 months into the revolutions life and i wont be turning on another cube game anyway, especially since the xenon will be out too.

Maybe I'll be able to play Fzero GX in 720p.

I can dream.
