I definitely hope they keep load times short for the Revo, like they did for the GC, Load times really bug me. GC loaded only bits at a time, while the XBOX for example loaded like half the game at the beginning , that beginning load time annoyed me.

The downside to the small quick loads, is that they have to be done more often, wearing out the disc reader ( a big issue with the GC). Lots of Gamecube's disc reading lasers died out, and lost their capaability to load games (including mine). I know, because if I leave it off for a while, it can load for a little bit, and I can play games that dont take much loading (E.g mario sunshine) where it loads the whole level at once, and you can beat the whole thing without it having to load again.
Im sure they'll take care of this problem.

I love the backward compatibilty, bout time nintendo caught on. Maybe there will be a resurge on classics like Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger =)
It can also give a resurge on old good games that never sold well (Ever heard of Lufia 1 and 2?)

Yeah, so I cant wait
