The aesthetics of Wii

yeah that would be a damned good idea - a usb based adapter to take the rom direct from the cartridge. well i doubt they would do this but this is a good idea if there plans can still be changed. whatever the outcome they have garaunteed that i will be buying a wii - if not on release date then soon after (funds permitting)

Man do people actually read any inforamation that comes out about the Wii. You will be able to play single or double layer 12cm optical discs, as well as the 8cm gamecube discs. And y would you want a usb slot, it will have an sd slot which you can use to upgrade internal flash memory. Hopefully from that we might be able to load roms. But untill we actually have a wii we can't test that theory.

Do some research before you post. Please

i said i'm sure we will be able to play old gamecube disks.... and exactly MIGHT we'll have to wait

and usb would be pretty slow... but nintendo is a lil behind right now in the console game... its had some has ass ideas

I think Nintendo has everyright to charge for its older games (nes, snes, n64) becayse they do own it.

Now from what ive been getting they wont charge more than 5 for any one game, and that TurboGrafx games are going to be sold for 1 or 2 dollars. Now that isnt too much to ask.

the ONLY thing i see wrong with the idea is the fact that you wont be able to get ANY rom from ANY system only Nintendo games....meaning no Final Fantasy games for us...or Perfect Dark for that matter

i dont dispute paying - i dispute paying twice.
why should we, the people that had the original game carts, be made to pay for the same game just to allow us to play it on a new system? now i dont mind a small subscription fee to allow me to download any of the titles available but i will not pay a game by game fee when i still have the original versions in my attic, and can play pretty much any of them on my pc, my xbox, or my psp.
i know they have to make money on it which is why i dont oppose a subscription service, so im hoping they go down that route - either that or verify somehow the holder has the original cartidges of the games in question.

i guess time will reveal the mystery.

your supposition is wrong - there are going to be games from other systems - even segas old machines, so this is far from a fact.
whatever companies decide to sign up shall allow the games from there respective developers to be downloaded, so any developer could end up putting there games through this system meaning we could see virtually any game on a previous system being made available.
