How is the Revolution gonna be backwards compatible...

you will be able to, they said the slot is for both GC and rev games.

It'd be like inserting a mini-dvd into a slot loading pc drive, no big deal.

Well shit, I always thought mini-dvds wouldnt work in a slot loading dvd drive.

Of course they can if the drive is designed for them... good lord man...
 
You will be able to purchase/download NES to N64 games via online, and Revolution will physically play GC discs.

This concept isn't that hard to grasp, people.

Thats not really backwards compatible then. I want to play my GC discs.

errr for gamecube you can use the original media. i thought it would be cool if they released a sleek black add on (like 64DD) with a NES, SNES or N64 slot (or all 3 at the same time) so you can play your own games. I certainly hope Nintendo won't make me pay for games i allready own. but then again... we're talking about Nintendo.
 
Hey, lay off on the dude, I personally didn't know that slot drives could support mini-DVDs either (everyone I've seen has a warning NOT to use them, so I figured that was the rule myself).

They do, so that's how, question answered, don't be jerks :P
