Blake, if I recall, you work for a video game mag, correct? Are you one of the lucky ones who will be going to E3?

I wish mang! I did appear in one once though. :p

here is some next generation rumour out of EGM.

We Can All Be Heroes
Last issue, I was rapping about how massively multiplayer online role-playing games (know to some peeps as simply MMORPGs) would have a much lasrger presence on the next wave of consoles. I wasn't yanking your chain, as I'm now hearing that an MMORPG using the marvel license is planned for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. And here are a few nuggets about the game: Instead of donning, say, Spidey's or Wolverine's tights, you'll create a fully customizable character who can meet up with several CPU-controlled marvel legends, become their temporary protege, and earn some of their signature moves via completing heroic deeds throughout the game's crime-filled metropolis. Sounds, uh, super!

Also the new Gameboy should have Gamecube graphics and the new PSP GTA will be multiplayer.

Do you know where I can find pictures of Nintendo's new system? I think it's call Revolution or something like that? I heard a rumor how users will be able to download classic NES games onto the system and be able to play it??

I think you can try IGN.com.

As for the old games, yes, you will be able to download games from the 8-Bit NES all the way up to the N64, for a price. Since I own most of these games, or can emulate them on the PC, I don't think I'll use this feature. I'm actually quite tired of Nintendo recycling its old stuff and then charging top dollar for it.

I might get it. I LOVE those classic NES games and would buy the new system for that feature. I'd mostly get NES and SNES games

You'd be paying a lot of money for something you can easily get for free. I have Sega Genesis, NES, and SNES all on my PC. And it doesn't take up that much at all. In fact, you won't be installing a program taking up much time.

How could I get them on my PC? I'd have to buy a controller! I can't play those games with a keyboard & mouse (already done that)

Emulator. And it's ridiculously easy to play on a keyboard. The difference is square buttons instead of circle, and the fact it isn't hand-held. But no difference.
